It would be nice except for one thing/problem : we don't get to seduce her in the game, she is already weirdly and against her corrupt modus operanti obsessed with the mc to the point of not enslaving them as soon as she can. We can choose to be seduced by her or not but there is no seducing her. We either reciprocate her feelings or not.
A more romantic version of Ceraph would have been great but it's not what we got.
In essence there is a power fantasy here, simply by being the mc at the first encounter without doing anything the bad demon mommy was seduced.
Why enslave us? She leaves us to our own devices to become stronger. Matter of fact, she's kinda hands off a lot. Like with the hornet hive, alraune, and the centaur village. She came in, skeeted, then left like a father going for a pack of smokes. Only returning in bad ends. Most of our hinderances to her are small potatoes compared to what she gets out of our soul maturing. Plus outside of that, this is a basic trope. Big bad/adversary wanting the hero to get stronger for x reason. Tolerating all the plan interference for that purpose. And I mean sure we don't exactly seduce her. But she's a interdimensional whore of the highest caliber. Being able to seduce her ain't exactly a point of pride.
But the feelings we alone can elicit from her? That's where the money shot is. Even if she plays her cards right with us. And we give into her seduction. We don't have to do anything more. We play our cards right with her? She changes. She becomes more loving. She becomes more affectionate. She shows concern for us outside of just wanting our soul. And that's the part that I like. A slow corruption just in the other direction. We go from being someone of interest and her just wanting our soul. To still wanting our soul, but pretty much hubby. Her feelings were lust, sex, soul. By the end it's much more then that. Legit mutual affection.
I mean sure, it could've been done better. But we're playing CoC2. What couldn't be done better in this game?
