What I'll never understand is why there's seemingly a pushback on player freedom, if someone wants to be the righteous person everyone looks up to, why can't they be? In the same vein, why shouldn't people have the choice to be downright evil either? Or maybe somewhere in between, who knows, you're the player of an RPG, you should have the freedom to decide.
Firstly, this game isn't meant to have that level of player freedom. It never was. Your thought process is essentially like if you played Final Fantasy 7 and got mad the game doesn't let you kill Barret because he's mean to your character (Cloud, also a dick) at the start of the game. COC2 is not intended to be like that by design, it is a game with
limited player freedom.
Secondly, you seem to have confused two definitions here, but here's an English lesson:
1: Corruption - The process by which something is changed from its original use or purpose to one that is typically debased.
2: Evil - Overtly wicked, cruel and immoral, most often to represent a metaphysical concept or force.
Corruption and evil are not the same. This game doesn't generally let you be
evil on purpose. The only real exception I'd say is the hive, which has been said over and over now to be regretted. It misled players into believing the game would be something that it's not. Perhaps we'll see something come of that one thread eventually, but even if it does, it will probably be a one-of-a-kind thing not representative of the rest of the game.
Most of the forms of corruption in this game only involve just cumming or being cummed in by demons when it can be so much more. You can do a few questionable things here and there, but that's really it. Also cumming in the baker's food screams: "Weirdo!" than "Oh my gods, how evil!".
Because that is, by the rules of this world how corruption works... Demons are made when people seek personal pleasure above anything else, or when forced to "consume" pleasure to the point that they can't think of anything else, and then their fluids spread it beyond themselves. Sure it's not Tolkien-level lore writing, but it's porn. It doesn't need to be.
And as per my earlier English lesson, the baker's interaction is about corrupting her, not being evil. Plus, you don't need to cum on the pastries if you don't want to.
And lastly...
I'm gonna be honest, the way corruption is right now is a little boring. Throw some nuance in there a little, let people explore and roleplay their dark characters. Again, why call the game "Corruption of Champions 2" if corruption isn't gonna be a real focus?
Sure, more corruption content can be added! I even said as much previously. However you need to remember the difference between evil and corruption, or you'll never be satisfied with this game.
Though hey, you can always play COC1 again! And good news, if you just want to talk about how much you love
that game, there's a board on this very forum specifically for it.
