[QUOTE="The Observer, post: 317646, member: 102"] Squirrelwagon has already mentioned it, but the entire theme of the game is about corruption of the soul, instead of corruption of the body. In the first, once you lost your humanity, you could never go back to being human. There is no such limitation here, but corruption is "sticky" and much more difficult to get rid of than walking around the lake or seeing Jojo/Arian a couple of times. It's meant to be non-obvious, seductive, and insidious; by the time physical transformations begin to take place people are already too far gone that they don't [I]want[/I] to be cleansed and are permanently broken. Or are they? Considering the main antagonist of the game, Kasyrra, is the seed of corruption that takes root within the world and is very plainly and obviously demonic to the core -- yet she remains one of our most popular characters, with people loving her and making all sorts of excuses for her actions on the forums. This, of course, is by design. Just because someone isn't sporting goat horns and cloven hooves doesn't mean they aren't corrupted; the champion can already meet many kinds of corrupted beings from tentacled cultists to eldritch abominations to soulless vampiric husks. Are they obvious? Yes and no. Do they act "stereotypically" corrupted? Yes and no. What does corruption [I]really[/I] mean? Is it just the lack of a soul? Is it physically transforming? Is it acting in a self-serving manner, or a libidinous one? In no way should you use the first game as any kind of yardstick in which to set expectations for the second. We're not here to make an exact copy of the game that was made all those years ago, so many people have tried to copy the formula of CoC1 to varying degrees of success. I can't speak for other writers, but I personally find moral choices between "eat babies" and "pet kittens", plain paragon/renegade decisions boring and binary. Mustache-twirling villainy isn't interesting, dark or intimidating, it's simply comical. I, at least, want to see how people and players fall prey to corruption, to walk them down the path of well-intentioned rationalisations for their actions. "Om nom nom I sucked off a guy and now I'm evil" is about the most blase story of someone's moral downfall I could imagine, right next to waking up on the wrong side of the bed and deciding to murder, pillage, enslave and rape.
