One again, relationships are something CoC 1 did way better. Amily's pure route feels like slow relationship if you take the time, and if you become corrupted she reacts in heartbreak and horror. Even Isabella, who is kinda just DTF for the most part, reacts violently to a corrupted player when met initially. The actual corruption mattered, and even if it wasn't amazing writing, the characters felt like they made sense in the world. Part of the problem in COC 2 is that everyone is like Whitney's farm. The worst area in COC 1. Each character is someone's specific OC with very little flexibility in how you interact with them, and really inconsistent morality. I would honeslt prefer a remaster of CoC 1 in a non flash engine to any more of the CoC 2 mindless slog.
