History Heartwarming / VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines

* If you choose the Camarilla ending where you '' don't'' side with Lacroix, you end up staggering into the Chantry during a bloodhunt, hoping beyond hope that Strauss will listen to you, knowing perfectly well his faction wants you dead. [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure His first words to you are to immediately express relief you're alive, showing that he believed in you all along and never once entertained the possibility you were guilty of what LaCroix insisted you were.]]

*** Even more heartwarming is when you visit them later. They still argue, but it is far more friendly now. And they seem genuinely happy to see the PC again. If anyone feels the end game is depressing visit to the asylum will serve as proof that your PC did do good.

You wouldn't imagine that a game about scheming, backstabbing, bloodsucking vampires could be at any point ''heartwarming'', but you would be wrong. Observe:

* On a similar note to Jack, interacting with Beckett can be heartwarming in a subtle way, especially if playing as a Gangrel. He almost always treats a player with some level of respect and politely answers their questions. Given he's one of only two people you are outright told you can trust, it almost becomes easier to look up to him in the same way

* One of the most popular fanmade add-ons, Clan Quest Mod, adds an additional questline involving a sassy Kuei-Jin named Kalliyah, who wants you to take her out on a date. You and she proceed to tear up LA with her adrenaline-junkie antics as she explains what Kuei-Jin are and what they do as compared to Kindred - and as the night progresses, it gradually becomes more and more obvious that genuine ''feelings'' are developing between you. This, despite all evidence to the contrary that the undead are only supposed to truly care for one thing - feeding. It comes to a point where you defend her honor by killing two Camarilla underlings who attack her, and then the two of you consumate your relationship back at your haven. The addition of this quest makes it a lot easier to consider picking the Ming Xiao ending, even though she's a snake, though Kalliyah is constantly and openly contemptuous of the woman.
* Your mileage may seriously vary on this one, but if you pursue the [=LaCroix=] ending, [=LaCroix=] offers you a place at his side, as a reward for being so loyal to him! He doesn't backstab you, he doesn't think YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness, instead he gives a huge speech about everything you've made possible and how awesome you are in general, so when [=LaCroix=] rules the world how would you like to have a place at his side, for making his greatness happen? Then you and he open the sarcophagus...and of course the heartwarming moment is shot straight to hell given what you find inside the sarcophagus.

* Nines sticking up for the player more than once counts. The game doesn't offer a definitive answer as to why, but Jack points out that Nines also spent his time as a fledgeling sireless and that he has a soft spot for the little guy. Given that Nines never really takes advantage of the fact that he saved you nor seems to expect anything for it, Jack's theory seems to be the correct one.

* Even in non-Camarilla endings, you'll never have to fight any Tremeres or Nosferatu while storming [=LaCroix=]'s tower (you only fight humans for most of it, some Ventrues on the 7th floor, and the Sheriff on the 8th), which suggests that both Gary and Strauss didn't believe your guilt and had decided to remain uninvolved in [=LaCroix=]'s plans.

* A small one, but if you played as a female PC, seduced Chunk in your first encounter, and completely played along with his flirting every time you returned to [=LaCroix=]'s building, during the final level he won't be there to stop you from entering the building where he would be otherwise. Presumably, he quit upon getting the order from [=LaCroix=] to not allow your entry, which is a rather sweet show of loyalty.
* From the ''Clan Quest'' Mod, you have the entire 'Dance of the Thrashing Dragon' sidequest in Chinatown. You met this Kuei-jin named Kalliyan who wants you to show her around LA. Throughout the 'date', you two spent the time together enjoying the nightlife around the city and gradually opens up more and more to each other. If you're nice to Kalliyan, at the end of the date she'll trust you enough to reveal her past to you: she was actually a young man whose spirit got trapped inside his girlfriend's body after both of them died of drug overdose in life, and that he spent the afterlife trying to follow the Dance of the Thrashing Dragon Dharma philosophy to live his second life to the fullest and showing others to follow that part as well, and should you not react negatively with this reveal, he'll be very thankful for your understanding and you two could potentially end up spending the night together at your apartment as lovers. Putting aside the fact that this is a story of a western vampire and a Kuei-jin being together without any shred of FantasticRacism presented between them, it's also a very heartwarming slice-of-life story in a game full of terror and tragedies.
* Pisha's interaction with a Malkavian PC. She isn't the least bit worried or annoyed of the Malkavian and even goes as far to casually correct them when they call her a Black Widow, saying a Mantis is a more apt nickname, implying 1) she's been called worse by other Kindred, and 2) she's done a lot of soul-searching about her nature. Very impressive for a freaky-looking cannibal vampire.
* Jeanette will flirt with you regardless of what clan you are- yes, even a Nosferatu. If you ask her if she's not disgusted by your looks, she responds with a simple "Everyone is a bit ugly on the inside".

** After becoming a ghoul and moving into whichever Haven you occupy, Heather quickly begins engaging in self-destructive behaviour (dropping out of college, isolating herself from her friends and family and trying to hunt victims for you) in order to 'please' the player character. The PC can quickly decide to put the kibosh on this with the justification that they cannot allow Heather to continue ruining her life for them, letting her return to normal life with her life (relatively) intact once your Blood Bond dissolves. A Malkavian can even make the process painless by Dementing Heather into thinking her entire encounter with you was AllJustADream.

* The opportunity to save the life of Heather in the first act. A young girl crying out for her grandmother is dying because of a hit and run, but you can save her by feeding her some of your vitae. This encounter happens early into the PC's first night as a vampire, making it entirely possible that as a newly-minted bloodsucker, you ''save a life'' before ever taking one.

** After becoming a ghoul and moving into whichever haven you occupy, after a few missions she mentions that she was being followed by some unknown shadowy assailant while she was out. The player has the ability to send her away on account of things getting too dangerous. That alone is heartwarming enough, but the way the dialogue phrases it makes it even more so: the player tells her [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy they cannot allow her to continue ruining her life for them. A Malkavian can make it painless by removing their memory of you, and only being a happy dream for them.]]

* Pisha's interaction with a Malkavian PC. She isn't the least bit worried or annoyed of the Malkavian and even goes as far to casually correct them when they call her a Black Widow, saying a Mantis is a more apt nickname, implying 1) she's been called worse by other Kindred, and 2) she's done a lot of soul-searching about her nature. Very impressive for a freaky-looking cannibal vampire.
