There's literally a scene where some Vampires massacre a whole village as part of a hunt because they're bored.
Even if you're meant to sympathise with Dracula, he's still a monster who wants to genocide humanity. The fact that the most "human" pureblood Vampire is a vengeful, genocidal maniac really says something about the other Vampires in that series.
I sympathize with Dracula because he's not a vampire. He's a disenfranchised Dungeon Master who is sick of all the murderhobos in his campaign. His castle IS POWERED by a d20, after all.
But you are correct, and I honestly completely glossed over Castlevania. Bad, me!
Oh, another great deviation is the Stragoi in The Secret World.
