In addition to the “Way of the Open Palm” and the “Way of the Closed Fist” there was more though. The game often mentions reincarnation and the wheel (the exact name escapes me at the moment). There are also ghosts in the game that are a result of this wheel being upset because of a god being attacked and killed (it's body - the waterdragon - fuels the prosperity that the country enjoys while the god's spirit is trapped as are the other spirits). Aside from that aspect, I really did like the game. I enjoyed the gameplay and the graphics of this game quite a bit.

I never stumbled across that option, and the only way in which you could have would be if you were looking for it. I think THAT's what the problem is here. "...your character will come to a point where he needs to sleep for the night in his tent, and his romantic partner is waiting outside for him." I never had a romantic partner in the game, so this never happened either. @Brendan:

The game makes numerous references to gods, demons and other divine concepts (demons are a fairly regular foe, and one of the gods is a main plot point in the game). If you progress through the romance plot lines (which can be either gay or straight for both the female and male characters), your character will come to a point where he needs to sleep for the night in his tent, and his romantic partner is waiting outside for him. The game obviously alludes to them sleeping together, but doesn't actually show anything. All in all, I enjoyed the game, but there's certainly some severe content the review doesn't touch on.
