The best Judas characters, of course, are the ones where their betrayal actually makes a sort of sense. If you can see their point and even sympathize - well, it makes it rather more difficult to accept that betrayal because part of you knows that, just maybe, they may be right. A little harder to do in interactive media, of course, but if a character honestly and truly feels you've gone too far and betrays you for that reason... well, that always hits close to home, at least if they have a point.

Plot railroading may be lame, but it's still valid in the game world. That's what happened.

Bah, that quest holds no significance for me because it's mind control done by a demon -- all the companions say that the demons knew how to control them -- and because what they do is out of character for each of them.

Fact: A Desire Demon's abilities include mind control

It is a logical assumption to make by believing that Pride Demons can do much the same thing, given that they're more powerful then Desire Demons.

Oh, so demons can control your mind. Then working with them should be totally ok. Gotcha.

To be fair, it's the Fade. When you go to the Fade, you're going into the very realm where demons are most powerful. This is their home turf, it's a place shaped by thoughts and emotion, and this makes demons especially dangerous there. Yes, they can still influence your mind in the real world, but their powers are greatly diminished. The writers will no doubt correct me if I'm mistaken here, but as far as I know they tend to operate more through guile in the real world as opposed to force - promising you gifts and boons, so long as you give them what -they- want.

In which case, it's less to do with the power of the demon as it is the gullibility of the person involved.
