Ending Guide

How to get the two different endings

Introduction

!This guide contains spoilers!

There is a "Good Ending" achievement and a "Bad Ending" achievement. You get the "good" ending for being hostile, negative, lying. And the opposite for the "bad" ending.

There are five dialogue options in the game where you make a choice that impacts the ending, you're awarded a trait for your choice in each of these circumstances. I have noted the ending with each trait in the following section.

Dialogue Options

Talking With Mia

It's a risky play, of course, and might backfire... but maybe I'd benefit if I put my loyalty to the Court into question.

🌕 A Camarilla Lapdog?
Loyal only to myself (good ending)

🌕 (Nah. Not Worth it.)
Loyal to the end (bad ending)


Agathon's Fate
I suppose that's it. still no idea what happened to Agathon. Is he alive? Or is he dead?

🌕 [Alive]
Glass Half Full (bad ending)

🌕 [Dead]
Glass Half Empty (good ending)


Choosing How to Enter Double Spiral
How do I approach Double Spiral?

🌕 [It's time to be aggressive]
A little abuse of power never hurt nobody (good ending)

🌕 [Better stay covert.]
Not into a bad cop schtick (bad ending)


Talking to Torque About the Ring
It might require me to act ♥♥♥♥♥♥, but maybe... time to change my approach?

🌕 [No. Be brutally honest]
Honesty is the best policy (bad ending)

🌕 [Lie, lie, lie through your teeth]
You can't be a writer and not lie (good ending)


Confronting Kaiser
Do I dare push him to the edge? Make him suffer until he squeaks?

🌕 [I will do whatever is necessary]
The ends justify the means (good ending)

🌕 [This is a barrier I won't cross]
No more human, still humane (bad ending)

DEAD END Achievement

There's an achievement for getting the games fail state. When talking to Caren, known to you at the time as ??? choose

🌕 [Don't shoot]

[GlebianK]

Mine were:
- A Camarilla Lapdog?
- Alive
- Better stay covert
- No. Be brutally honest
- I will do whatever is necessary

Got the "Bad ending" (which I personally find good, but from a perspective of a Lasombra representative...). Guess it's all about being good and positive for Bad ending and being an **shole for Good ending. And the game just checks which side a player took more often

[Amorph Lex]

Look at good/bad options from the perspective of the vampire you are, not the human player.
Also, it seems like only the first and last choices affect the ending. I made the three in-between choices the opposite of the others, and still got the ending based on the loyalty and Kaiser choices.

[Grim]

They shouldn't have named it Good or Bad Endings. The "Good Ending" seems bad in some perspective but it's a good ending for a Lasombra, to stay in the game and be as ruthless as they can, while the "Bad Ending" is a more human end.

[ContrastHero]

The bad ending is actually pretty good. You make up with your GF and get out of the power game that has no winner.

The good ending is actually pretty bad. You essentially enter the ring of politics with a no win scenario while you continue to slip further into shadows (literally).

[DeathHero®]

THX

[How Zany]

I don't know what the good ending is because I got the bad ending but I feel like the "bad ending" is a great ending. You get to leave the hellhole of kindred society in NYC, which is filled with power hungry elites with their secret conspiracies, and get to start over in California? I love California. Bad Ending is the best ending haha.

[Doc 7]

I got the good ending by choosing the first answer every time. Makes it easier.

[HeLLfire]

When getting the good ending still felt like you lost....

[{AZC} ArgulKit]

Wow, glad to know it was the last scene that saved me from bad ending. And quite honest, that last pick I felt like it was heavy.

[Rather Dashing]

There is a skip system, it's ctrl key. You can zip through the whole novel in 15min. I go the bad ending first play though, and tbh, I liked it. I felt she was saving what was left of her humanity, and it was a happy ending.
