I actually just recently saw the "Hunger" half-hour adaptation. 
I think it suffered from a low budget, and I found some of the changes to the story (like the main one you mention) surprising. I felt that it lacked the romance and delight in the Romulad-Clarimonde relationship, but I can understand how the adapters may have needed to shorten and simplify the story to fit it into the short running time. And I was intrigued by the idea that
(*spoiler*)
the succubus approached each new priest and served as a kind of rite of passage. So I felt it was a fairly loose adaptation in some ways, but it was certainly interesting.
