Solomon's really going through it, huh?💀
Ik that the last time around the players actually got a choice on whether MC picks the brothers over all else, Solomon over all else or to say they will find a way to achieve equality and balance without picking sides in a hypothetical war (which Solomon is skeptical about being possible). But I find it really funny that if MC chooses humanity & Solomon, he instantly second guesses them, whereas, if they choose the brothers he's goes "yeah figures🙄"
Mostly because it shows that he learnt from his past mistakes
Because when Nightbringer initially asks Solomon to pick sides, Solomon picks humanity and is 100% sure MC will do the same even though Nightbringer is highly skeptical
But then when MC finally gets that choice - with 0 doubt and 0 hesitation they pick Lucifer and his brothers - there isn't even a choice for the player to pick otherwise - they give the grimoire that Solomon and humanity would have desperately needed, in order to become a force to be taken seriously like Solomon wants, to Lucifer and Solomon is visibly upset by it.
Now he knows where their initial loyalty lies, who - when push comes to shove - they choose, and so is surprised if they choose humanity but upset and accepting if they choose the brothers which I think is a cool lil' tidbit
I also think it's cool how when it comes down to it, MC isn't some kind, sweet, angelic person. They're stubborn and blunt and self-serving to the point of being bullheaded, they don't mind playing dirty to get what they want, they're snarky and genuinely enjoy annoying Lucifer - they're kind sure but they're kind to the people they know (and I've made more in depth posts about that like this one).
Without the influence of the players, MC's natural state seems to be "willing to sacrifice humanity" which I think is very funny.
We need more protagonists who are not evil but just unconcerned about things that they don't care about but are also so naturally charming that they manage to accidentally trick everyone into thinking they're the chosen one destined to save the world
A true chaotic neutral who everyone mistakes for a lawful good
