For me I'd say while story can be a little odd at times I feel it's more of the character deveolopment and the relationships I find more of an issue than the writing with the story. To me last I played ( i'm 2 or 3 updates behind) It really never felt I got to know the LI all that well they were kind of just there but lacked any real character deveolopment. As to me it felt like the game focused to much on the story but forgot to spend some time on the LI. ( granted the story is nothing but average and passable for AVN Standards)
