I was thinking I'd finish it this weekend but I've just glanced at this wiki and the long list of locations I haven't seen yet suggests I'm not even half way to the end. It's already surprised me at least twice previously by being way more ambitious than it looked at first. Sometimes the narrative style reminds me of Vicn's big mods, other times there is a fair bit of weird "maid" stuff going on. 79 voice actors, 13000 lines of dialogue. For me it's one of those idiosyncratic creations that takes some effort to understand the conventions and ideas its author wants the player to accept. So far it's been quite something. I don't know why it took me so long to get around to trying it.

Five weeks and forty hours of Skyrim later, I got to the end of Maids II: Deception.

It starts off slow, but once it gets going it's really good. Not as polished and cohesive as the original game's main quest, but just as big and for the most part really good writing. I found myself actually caring about some of the characters, the voice acting was great, and there's some really impressive quest and level design. Many surprisingly cool things to discover in there. It does get pretty confusing at some points — deliberately so. Things are revealed only gradually in the course of a long and complicated plot line.

I'll probably do it again some day, just to see what happens if I approach it differently. Maybe in a year or two.
