Very nice game and ideas. But I've traveled to several platform to see the sayings about the game.
As expected, a very intriguing game but they just can't follow through since LOTR is something quite far out for porns to them as I felt at first.
But what I think is that it because of the character you play, they are too original. I even doubt that playing as the dark lord could make things easier. Perhaps change the main character so you can change the aspect of the stories easier and hence the out comes later ? Tough Knot
Other than that I would dying to see further progress.
