You don't go down a path to evilness, you lose your humanity, that's not becoming evil. There are no evil tigers. Your actions can be good or evil, but you don't have good or evil characters, humanity is not the same.

Spoiler:Or you can't, because you're not good enough to persuade her. This is for the masquerade, nearly every vampire agrees that your species would be doomed without it. Then your options are leave her and risk lots of vampire deaths, kill her, or send her to a horrible death and get something cool.
The moral of this story? If you're not that good at talking, doom your entire race instead of killing a ghoul that basically is already living a pitiful existance.

Essentially, you can kill the woman if you feel in a bloodsporty mood or spare her and take out her assailents including the mafia boss. The former choice is obviously evil but as always rewards you with a $1000 since the boss is rich and in a generous mood. The latter choice gives you humanity and $250 cash. |
Spoiler:I've played the game quite a few times, and everytime I have gotten more money out of killing the mafia boss. If anything, a lot of the choices involve smaller immediate gains, or larger gains over a longer period.
The moral of this story? If someone is being extorted by the Russian mafia, kill their boss and his body guards for part ownership of the establishment.
