History Heartwarming / CultOfTheLamb

* ''Sins of the Flesh'' allows you to make your most loyal Followers into Disciples. The first Disciple you create comes repsonds with an outpouring of gratitude:

** It's even possible to revert Sozo back to who he was before the mushrooms: researcher Dr Sozonius. Sozonius doesn't remember his time as Sozo, but he knows that he's grateful to the Lamb for something. He's automatically elderly, but at the very least, Dr Sozonius can live out his last days as himself.

* In the short ''Leshy's Kitchen Nightmare'', Leshy is cooking a steak when he gets distracted by a butterfly which causes the steak to burn. Because of this, one of the followers he was cooking for yells at him before angrily storming away. Seeing how down he was after being yelled at, another follower gives Leshy a flower which seems to cheer him up. It should also be noted that when he receives the flower, the symbol on his blindfold gets replaced with a heart.

** [[FridgeLogic Fridge heartwarming]]: Though the unfinished letter in Ratau's cabin can only be read if you've sacrificed him and is a TearJerker ''in that context'', and the Doylist reason for its existence [[WhatTheHellPlayer is to twist the knife]], it's not like it doesn't still exist; the in-universe reason you can't read it otherwise is because he isn't satisfied with the current draft. Regardless of whether you can read the message in your save file, the sentiments expressed are a constant in how he feels about the Lamb, and knowing about this is what firmly steeled some players against betraying him.

* In ''Relics of the Old Faith'', you can have another meeting with Klunko and Bop in a random encounter. In this conversation, Klunko reveals that he was one of the followers in Ratau's old cult, saying that Ratau took him in when he had nowhere else to go. He fondly remembers Ratau as a good leader, and says the same of you too.

* After taking him as a follower, one of Narinder's unique quests to revive a follower if you have the resurrection doctrine has him rather bemused, but seemingly [[PetTheDog genuinely happy]], that the Lamb is using their newfound godly powers for benevolent ends.

* The initial release of the game forced the player to kill Forneus' children [[MissingChild Baal and Aym]] as part of the TrueFinalBoss, depriving her of any chance to see them again, though at least she wasn't aware they still lived in the first place. As of the ''Relics of the Old Faith'' update however, [[VideoGameCaringPotential it will be possible]] to finally reunite Forneus with both of her children in the new post-game content.
** Recruiting Shamura as a follower reveals that they were the one to sacrifice Aym and Baal--as a way of giving their brother company. Aww, in a messed up sort of way.

* Though it's less efficient than being a villain, you can create a society that's genuinely a good place to live. You could give your followers good food, good shelters, decorated surroundings, feasts, bonfire dances, holidays, gold donations, an afterlife to depart to when they die, honored graves for their corpses to be laid in, and resurrection so they can live again. The only morally questionable act that is required to progress is to wage crusades against the lands of the four bishops, but even that can be justified as lawful combat.

* Ratau and the Lamb's relationship is one of genuine respect and trust. Ratau teaches the Lamb the basics of building their cult, not in the slightest bit begrudging that the Lamb succeeded him as their god's vessel. The Lamb in turn seems to care a lot for Ratau, to the point that they shed tears and try to save him if the player sacrifices Ratau to the Red Fox.

* Sometimes a follower will walk up to the Lamb just to tell him that they love him. Awww!

* The occasional time that the Bishops invoke EvenEvilHasLovedOnes, like Leshy, Kallamar and Heket not wanting to bother Shamura because of their head injury at first or Heket being enraged by the Lamb killing her youngest brother Leshy. They might be a quartet of horrifying eldritch beasts, as well as the leaders of en evil Old Faith, but they do care about each other.

Who says leading a DeathCult in a CrapsackWorld had to be all doom and gloom?
