* UnfortunateImplications: In the penultimate chapter, Xanthe is sent to an unknown patron in Sicily against her will, which many players compare to sex trafficking because of Xanthe's profession as a courtesan. Exacerbating matters is the narrative's depiction of the scene as a good thing.

** Arin is subject of this. Despite having a multiple choice goal (reuniting with her family, bringing down the Romans, or avenge her people), many consider her a reckless fool who doesn't think of others before acting. Her impulsiveness to kill Tribune Gnaeus Rufus without a back up plan forces Syphax to take the blame to defend her.

Her impulsiveness to kill Tribune Gnaeus Rufus without a back up plan forces Syphax to take the blame to defend her. Players also find it hypocritical of her to slut-shame fellow courtesan Xanthe for doing the same job as her even before Xanthe had any opportunity to harm her.
Added DiffLines:
* DesignatedVillain: Xanthe. She was merely doing her job as a courtesan, yet Arin could slut-shame her from the get-go. And that was before she acted genuinely prickly towards Arin.

** Arin plans to kill Tribune Gnaeus Rufus at night, by posing as one of his escorts.\\
'''You'd Expect''': She would come up with a plan that would look like Rufus died in an accident, without her being spotted in the crime scene.\\
'''Instead''': She either poisons him or stabs him, and doesn't even think about where to go after the deed is done.\\
'''Result''': Security finds her next to Rufus' corpse (if she chooses to stab him, he has visible stab wounds in his chest) and Syphax is forced to take the blame to save her.

** Cingerix, despite only appearing in the flashbacks, is seen as a hot headed jerk even more impulsive than Arin. There's another group who find him sympathetic after he tells Arin about the death of his lover Tallius and is willing to give him a chance when he appears in present time.

** The revelation that two of the love interests are real historical figures has sparked some controversy. While some players have no problems romancing fictional versions of real people provided they’re well written, others are uncomfortable at that prospect, especially since one of the love interests is Marc Antony, who was notoriously ruthless in real life.
