Out of curiosity, can you tell us what made you hate this “male-only” game so much? What was cheesy? Dialogues? Story? Deaders?
Main charater and having to play this particular green umber hulk. Dialogue and dialogue style (lots of writing describing stuff particulary things like "the most beautiful girl you have ever seen" - I really dislike it when I am told what I am supposed to feel. Joinable NPC (haven't seen others, but Morte was enough), the white flying woman animation calling me 'my love' (ye gods!), the plot that turned me in an amnesiac that searches for his past; total absence of hot male joinables (sure, there was Annah and FFG for males, but females had no eye-candy to play with). In short, everything but the setting (which wasn't of the developer's creation), was bad about PS:T.

Is the Heretic Kingdoms: Inquisition somehow connected to the Kult: Heretic Kingdoms? If yes, I tried to find Kult in Canada, and they didn't have it (and US companies want to charge 25$ for shipping on a $20 game, lol!). I am not burning to play it though anyway, since it is not party-based, and from what I gathered, the dialogues were 50:50 - some where excellent, but most were boring and utilitarian.

I am actively targeting one particular type of the games: Single-player, custom protagonist, party-based (preferably with 4+ joinables at a time), dialogue-rich, romance-enabled, some sort of non-modernistic setting. And, as far as I am aware, I have Drakensang and Dragon Age coming out soon-ish in that category. (Yes, I know about Hourglass, but I've moved on to the 3D quite firmly now, plus I am not a big fan of their setting).
