I really want to get back into this game, but the lack of animations is just killing it for me. The story is so good that I might just play through again just for that. And don't get me wrong, the situations he gets in are very titillating, but having no animation at all keeps this game from being top tier IMO. Even some of the old style jank "stop motion" animations with a few moans here and there would make the experience SOOOO much better IMO. Still a great game if you like medieval time periods, intrigue and struggles for power.
