Okay I've now played far enough that I've finished the end game events.
I like the new marriage and courtship system, and the various activities you can undertake with your girlfriends or wives, and how it expands the romantic options.
I look forward to seeing this expanded to lovemaking choices as well, since it would be really nice to alter relations slightly, EG who initiates what and when, for example, nurturing followers might want to sleep with you and suggest more traditional positions, whereas seductive followers might like a lot of foreplay.
the boons I saw are fun as well and provide handy bonuses.
As the game now has a full version, it might be nice to have some long term things to plan fore, especially with how much silver you get later on in the game when you've got a number of knights or courtesans' working for you, indeed having finished the game story, I'm a wee bit disappointed not to have run into any post game events yet (currently around week 100 I think), since having to plan for and defend your citadel makes a really nice contrast to the romantic and erotic options.
I also wonder about naïve or shy followers, and what sort of status they have, and when more medical options will be entering the game.
Indeed, while I like the relationship system in terms of theme, it would be nice to see some more gameplay and strategic options, since currently the game is feeling a little too easy in terms of strategy and balancing, though obviously as more things change, EG allowing clothing choices to increase a follower's performance, that will hopefully improve.
I like the historical events, indeed it was sort of amusing to end up married to Mata Hari, so more of these would definitely be fun, as well as give the time travelling theme a workout.
speaking of the time travel, one thing I find a little strange, is that in events where the follower is being threatened, they are always described as "fighting to their last breath", or "remaining defiant", no matter what their personality.
obviously, confident, or reserved followers might react that way, but I would've thought seductive followers would be trying to bargain for their lives, nurturing followers worrying about their families left behind, while shy or naïve followers would likely just go to pieces.
Again, while obviously dwelling on the mistreatment of the followers you rescue isn't nice, it's always good to feel your the hero, and sometimes that means rescuing damsels in distress!
I'll look forward to seeing where this one goes.
With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
