I get that, yeah. The dream thing is the only way I could think of to make the scene both make sense with him not being corrupted, and still feel "rewarding" for doing such a hard challenge. And yeah, it's a lot of speculation for an update that could very well just not happen.
In other news, I'll finally have some free time tomorrow, and I plan to use at least some of it to play Voodoo Shop. You don't know how much I've been looking forward to it, lol.
