I loved the Amelia Tyler playthrough, her and Jay are a great team of nonsense and tomfoolery.
Having said that, I object to the idea that the reward for resisting power should be...power?
The reward is that you get to keep your soul, untainted and free from the influence of your murderhobo daddy. Isn't that a huge reward? You get to exist as not being a slave? They keep saying this about the whole Slayer thing is that you are basically a superpowered slave.
Same with the Illithid powers, you get to exist whole and uncorrupted by the Mindflayers evil.
It's like Lord Voldemort demanding a reward for NOT creating horcruxes. The reward Voldemort, is that you get to keep your soul, whole and unbroken so you don't start acting like an insane, unstable person.
