Ladies and gentlemen, buckle you seat belts!
We are going for a ride!
To help us win mom's heart, since we are in a magical setting, we could go with the obvious - a love potion. We could even go with the cliché "deal with the devil" or "sells her soul to the devil" in exchange for the love potion.
If we want to be more creative, when Viv asks Tara for a key to mom's heart, Tara as a final favor (no more help after that) transports them inside mom's head. Here they see mom's memories, as faded pictures, glass shards with moving pictures, maybe holograms, flying all around them. BWG could go wild with effects and filters to create surreal, dreamlike scenes. Among the swirling pictures something catches Viv's eye, like a gold nugget burried in sand on a gold diggers pan.
Or. Tara transports them into the past. Where they witness several moments from mom's life. They can only observe, not interact. Again some filters could help distinguish these scenes from the usual game scenes to give the impression of ghosts moving around the real world. Viv finds the solution is simple, maybe obvious and was right in front of her the whole time.
That would be quite the wtf moment.
As the parting shot in mom's ending we'd get a picture of an old Viv and a young mom. Showing us that she was the one Tara helped, not her husband.
Also explaining mom's reluctance to engage in romantic relationships. Because as with vampires, they don't age, but their human lovers grow old and die. Leading to some of them to refuse a human partner.
Des and Viv's romance ending could be similar. Viv and Des now old and grey, holding hands, look back to the dog days of a summer that brought them together.
For a less soppy
rolleyes:
), but still a good ending. Opening night of an exhibition of Desiree's art. Lobby of a famous art gallery, filled with reporters, flashes going off, as on the red carpet Des appears accompanied by her partner Viv. Both beaming and beautiful.
In the naughty ending Viv asks Tara as a final wish to have a baby with Des. Tara gives her a magic dildo activated by a drop of blood from each partner. Which also locks it down to the two people so noone else can use it's special function. For everybody else it's just a common dildo. It could work as a magic item with the blood only activating and unlocking it or as "fuel" in a highly advanced device. Spitting on it or licking it could technically work too. But blood is more romantic and demonic too.
In the ending scene a pregnant, smiling Des sits with a child in her arms and several others run around the room and a proud Viv looks on.
Yes, in this ending Viv basically "breeds" her kitty.
And for a something completely different, an absurd ending.
Viv becomes a demon. Leaves the city, taking her girls with her (those she is in a relationship with) to build her own nest / hive. Forming either a happy (polyamorous) family or a harem of her pets depending on your choices. "Long live the queen!"
