History YMMV / VampireTheMasqueradeRedemption

* EvilIsSexy: [[spoiler:Anezka]] post-FaceHeelTurn, who ditches the humble trappings of her chaste profession for a [[EvilMakeover revealing black dress]]. Lucretia and her {{Stripperific}} outfit were probably meant to inspire this too. Count Orsi's three beautiful childer Kazi, Teta, and Zil could also count, particularly if you notice what becomes of the poor mortal the three temptresses seduce at the tavern...

* BreatherLevel: After the frustrating Giovanni Warehouse, Orsi International seems like a cakewalk. Unlike the DemonicSpider-summoning, Frenzy-inducing Giovanni goons, your enemies are rather more straightforward Ventrue mooks, supported by harmless Szlachta and other (mostly) low level threats from the Dark Ages. A [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic very catchy theme]] and an [[HumanResources interesting, squicky locale]] also help alleviate any tedium.

* NarmCharm: The grandiose dialogue in the Dark Ages is extremely over the top, but dripping with charm. Christof's HamToHamCombat with StarterVillain Ahzra is this trope incarnate.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Ecaterina, your sire, is a major character in the first half of the game but only acts off-screen after the TimeSkip. She's still active in the modern nights, and is the one who sent Wilhelm to save you from [[spoiler:"Pink",]] but although Christof makes peace with his mistress, they never reunite.

* ThatOneBoss: Mercurio is quite a challenge, then Maqqabeh the Golem, the Vodhz monsters in the final levels and Vukodlak.

* CompleteMonster: [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist Voivode Vukodlak]] was the most heretical grandchilde of the Tzimisce Antediluvian. A wicked would-be tyrant even by the standards of the Tzimisce, Vukodlak was sentenced to deep torpor [[EvenEvilHasStandards by his own vile clan]] for his mad desire to diablerize the Antediluvians. Taking sadistic gratification in defiling innocence and purity, Vukodlak spends centuries torturing his own ghoul, forcing her to bind men and women to the walls of his masterpiece, a replica of the Cathedral of Flesh [[HumanArchitectureHorror made of countless corpses]]. While superficially claiming to be saving the vampires from the Antediluvians, Vukodlak wants to usurp their place and rule a world where all vampires bow to him.

* CompleteMonster: [[GodhoodSeeker Voivode Vukodlak]], the diabolical Methuselah of Vysehrad from the Dark Ages, was the most [[AmbitionIsEvil ambitious]] and heretical grandchilde of the Tzimisce Antediluvian. A wicked radical even by the standards of the Tzimisce, Vukodlak was sentenced to deep torpor [[EvenEvilHasStandards by his own vile clan]] for his mad desire to diablerize the third generation and rule unopposed in a dictatorship where humanity is reduced to cattle for eternity. Taking sadistic gratification in defiling innocence and purity, Vukodlak spends centuries torturing his own ghoul, the Bohemian nun Anezka, forcing her to bind men and women to the walls of his masterpiece, a replica of the Cathedral of Flesh [[HumanArchitectureHorror made of countless corpses]]. Superficially claiming to be saving the Kindred from the Antediluvians [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist when all he wants]] is to become the only Antediluvian in the world, Vukodlak embodied how far some vampires were willing to go in pursuit of ultimate power.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Ecaterina, your sire, is a major character in the first half of the game but disappears after the TimeSkip. She's still active and around in the modern nights, and is the one who sent Wilhelm to save you from [[spoiler:"Pink",]] but although Christof makes peace with his mistress, they never reunite.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Serena, the [[OutOfFocus interesting but largely unexplored]] necromancer of your coterie in the Dark Ages. A popular mod has her evade her [[AllThereInTheManual vaguely-alluded to demise]] and adds her back into the present day.

* HesJustHiding: Many believe -- or hope -- that Serena survived the Giovanni purge.

---> '''Christof''': Now all my reason is thrown down. Surely my sleep hath made me mad. For if I am yet sane, then the world is become a lunatic asylum. Towers of glass loom over the tallest cathedral spires. Juggernauts of steel hurtle through the streets of London. The Roman roads, which once I walked as a young Crusader, are now fused into a single ribbon of black stone. And those roads are clogged with night-walking Londoners, heedless of the danger from the vampires among them. Are they so emboldened by the phantom torches which pierce the night and stab my eyes? Surely my world has died, and all I love lies buried with it."

* TearJerker: Christof emerging into modern day London and instantly comprehending how much has changed and that the world he knew is long gone.

** Christof seems to think that denying Vukodlak the statue Orsi was building of him has somehow derailed his ritual to awaken. The BigBad simply snarks, "[[DeadpanSnarker I'll live]]."

* MagnificentBastard: [[spoiler: Anezka, believe it or not. All the while Christof slept, she earned Vukodlak's trust, usurped Libussa... and then proceed to undermine Vukodlak's ressurection in every possible way from the inside. All this done by the shy nun in the beginning.]]

* ThatOneLevel: The sewers under Prague and the Tremere lair in Golden Lane. Also the Lair of Luther the Black, mainly because it takes place during the day and you must navigate several areas in [[WeaksauceWeakness broad daylight]].
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Ecaterina, your sire, is a major character in the first half of the game but disappears after the TimeSkip. She's still active and around in the modern nights, and is the one who sent Wilhelm to save you from [[spoiler:"Pink",]] but although Christof makes peace with his mistress, they never reunite.
