This was the first game I played on the site. I've played through it quite a few times, despite the hefty time tag (nearly 80 hours of gameplay, depending on how much one spends battling and walking around).
The reviews are right, it's not everyone's cup of tea. Companions get shared, some can even work in the castle brothel, some get raped by plants, and so on.
The story is quite decent, until the end of act II. The third act is useless in my opinion. It serves only to introduce more scenes and more companions, but the story is more or less over.
My main problem with the game is the lack of real rewards after battles. For the kind of trouble a group of three harpies give, I'd expect a lot more compensation than money and two apples. I should be able to take them slaves, have my way with them and sell them, or imprison them in my castle for my companions to have fun with them.
Another problem is that being bad ruins your chances with some characters, and you can't get to some weapons. Being good ruins much less, and you get all weapons.
Also, you need to walk a lot as new events become available.
Some complain that if they avoid some scenes, they lose affection points. I also think this should be fixed.
Overall, I think this is a great game, and I still give it 5 stars because nothing on this site compares to the experience I had playing it for the first time.
