What, the part about Luna not seeing Orion's (MC's) future? I have a few theories regarding that actually:

a. Orion's future isn't set in stone. Much like OIAL's protagonist, his future hinges on the choices that he will make, whether good or bad.

b. Orion's "special" case (which possibly contributes to his perfect compatibility rating in Eternum) is blocking Luna's powers from scrying into his future.

c. Orion has no future. Period. His is a path darker than the path walked by OIAL's protagonist, and things are going to ultimately end bleak for him (unless divine intervention happens...which might depending on the choices he makes throughout the course of the story).

Considering that I currently suspect that this game is going to end up being a lot darker than OIAL, option b or c is a bit more likely I think...though I still won't rule option a out.
I kind of had my own theories about our Hero and some of these issues.....

a. He's a Replicant. He came back through time to escape the Blade Runners and hid out making friends with Annie and Chang. No aura to read, physically perfectly compatable with the game. A rejuvenated Harrison Ford will come blasting for him in game.

b. He's dead. Zombie town. No aura to read, no life to synch with the game. Daryl gonna shoot him with a crossbow.

c. He's actually from the game, reverse "Tron" style. He's 100% compatible because he already is an electronic construct. Self Explanatory.

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

d. In all seriousness ( for once ) I think he's related to the developer of Eternum, hence the 100% compatibility. Since Luna has this capability, it points to some "more than human" abilities in this universe (and since it's the same as OOAL there was lots of supernatural there) and the MC will have some meta-human ability that is being hunted for some reason.


No matter what the reason, Caribdis is going to send us on a rollercoaster ride to get there and I'm going to enjoy every minute of it! :love: (until something happens that I don't like, then I'm gonna bitch like crazy!:ROFLMAO:)

Those are some good theories, can't really see anything wrong with b. (even though it's extremely vague at this point), and a. would be kinda like that priestess from OIALT (so it has even a precedent lol), however it would probably make her see multiple things instead of nothing I guess? Now the c. one I don't agree with because Luna saw her mother's death with her ability, so I'd say that out of your theories b. is the most likely to be right.

In a sense my own theory is a variation of that one, as it relates to how "special" the MC is. I just took another peek at those visions from the beginning and I'm even more confused now... I am pretty sure the MC already died at least once and revived (hence his "natural" time is already over so Luna can't read him) and his powers are originated from his left eye which is possibly demonic in nature, and the same eye pulsed briefly just before he grabbed that arrow so it's probably the reason he has 100% compatibility.

I don't know if I can subscribe to this theory to be honest considering this is too much of a callback to a certain minor antagonist's story in OIAL that I-

/PTSD flashbacks of Magnus Manor

...I...

/PTSD flashbacks of Magnus Manor

/shakes head to snap out of it

...yeah, theory's gonna open a can of worms to be sure. And looking at the pictures of the first vision (including the quick flashing images), I'm not sure there's enough there to support that theory atm...

The addition of the Red Herring (mystery and horror levels) server too opens up all kinds of content. The mortuary could be a location we go to to investigate a mystery and even the bloody eye could be a game level from there or another server. Honestly, having so many different types of servers mean anything we see could just be a preview of a visit to a server.

I like the idea that Luna couldn't read the MC's future because we, the player, have a say in his future. It's a nod to the fact that we are in control and his future is up to us to decide... at least that's my thought about it.

I played through a good part of this, but after apparently losing Alexandra's path just for not complimenting her pen (!) back when first meeting her, I feel that the system is too punishing for my liking. I can understand there being some crucial choices in the game, but if you have to either pick the 'right' answers all the time or lose a girl's path you basically don't really get to make choices at all (other than choosing on which paths you want to remain of course) and that's not how I like to play these games. So sadly I have to let this one go, but it does look excellent, good luck to the dev! (y)

That's the only choice that's that narrow and specific. You're missing one of the best games on the internet if you dump it over one scene....your loss..

..besides - pens are important! :ROFLMAO:

I mean in this case it actually does make sense, because this basically sets your impression she gets of you. I dont know how things play out if you dont compliment her pen, but given her character and the way how defensive she is, she would shove u into this category of just another guy who is after her looks/her money and its just like in real life its pretty hard to get a person to see you another way if they already have an opinion on you. So yeah you really are missing out, because in my opinion this game has so much to offer of depth and character development. Besides its one girl and there are so many and each of them is f*cking amazing man :ROFLMAO:

I get what you're saying, but the path doesn't close at that point but later on. And then it just seems weird to me: "So... this guy. He showed interest in me and my hobbies, even stood up to my powerful dad when I was being chewed out, and actually followed me and hugged me. On the other hand, back when we first met, he complimented my tattoos instead of my pen, so he's obviously bad news, I should break this off..." :unsure: And yes, this one girl, but my favorite of them, and who knows similar things won't happen with the others? I just don't like having to play with a walkthrough or mod and not being able to make my own choices in order to see what I want to see. So unfortunately it's not for me but I'm happy other people can keep enjoying it, please do so!
