There are 2 types of encounters I really enjoy in this game & I wanna see more of:
Rivals: I love having a rival like Roderick or Dolf. Someone MC needs to remove from the picture is some way or form cos they threaten the status quo or are just in the way of getting with a LI. Some, like Danghdangh, are luckily removed by outside forces. But people like the Knights, Roderic, Eckhardt, Johan, Dolf ect... I love removing them from the picture (either through guile or violence!)
Deadly LIs: I find these women to be funny in a "oh fuck!" Kinda way. Maghda & Vamps wanna eat you. Shakala & Vix attacks you in a boss fight! I really enjoy the though that MC needs to be a bit more quick on his feet to win over/tame some LIs.
I hope we have a boss fight with the Big Red Lady before MC starts pursuing her...
