well, it's kind of difficult to go anywhere when you're dead
Ahh But is He Dead? Don't think so sirens in the distance, passing out because of blood loss, but still breathing. Cari is the Master of Cliffhangers get use to it grasshopper.

Imagine that you are watching the movie "Pirate of the Caribbean" and the title is "dead men tell no tales."well, it's kind of difficult to go anywhere when you're dead
Orion will be the dead main character...

Just replayed the whole game and I want to adress the problem with the "update feeling shorter" once again. The main issue in my opinion is, that the whole Luna / Penny arc, except for the last few scenes including Luna lewd is ultimately just a filler arc. Since we can only see one of the sides in a single playthrough, the information / girl points / relationship progess you see in the other one can't be mandatory. Basically it is just a very long and complicated way of the questions we have with Dalia and Alex (Bagel or Donut) or Penny and Dalia (magic or physical), where you can give an additional, but not mandatory point to one of them. And storywise, we didn't get much aswell.
A really nice setting with the werewolves and the vampires, but considering it was nearly half of the update it is just to less storywise. And then we got a lot of lore just thrown at our feet right at the start in a simple conversation instead of having Orion and the girls make the discovery themselves. Why not make this big reveal the "main conclusion" of Ekhabar instead of giving it away just like this? Don't get me wrong, I think the whole arc was very well written as usual and not every arc can be heavy story focused, but comparing it to earlier updates, the arc felt a bit weak. In the space server, we got an amazing date with annie, a lewd scene with her AND very important story development. In the wild west server we didn't just got solo time with all 3 girls and 2 lewd scenes, but the Calypso lore and the development with the NPC and the manipulation item on top of it.
Some of the eternum theory experts in the forum may argue now, that there is a lot more lore during that arc than one might see on the first look. But if you just play the game normally instead of pausing after every sentence and look for a deeper meaning, I don't think you can find much more than what I mentioned. Comparing to 0.6 western server again, the calypso lore was presented very directly, you didn't need to read between the lines to find it. And yet it left more than enough room for speculation. Even an average player will wonder about the secrets, the plot and the "big picture" of the game after seeing that scene.

That's all great and all but...
He redid the quiz.
You KNOW how you feel about that.
No exact story per se, but Cari does take a lot of his characters and plot points' inspo from mythology. Dorfnutter made quite a few posts in between 0.4 and 0.5 discussing the similarities/reference points with his prominent one being this. Fair warning for spoilers if you haven't played up to the end of the 0.5 content. Enjoy!

My personal feelings for quiz sections aside, he doesn't exactly had a choice given the irl developments on the matter. Not to mention it's a lot easier to redo a few dialogue lines over adding an optional extra segment of Orion needlessly lashing out after a massive fuckup (and only contributes to Idriel seeing Orion "going drunk" with his powers).That's all great and all but...

In a game that's thematically about death, rebirth, and defying fate...does it even matter if he's dead or not? He's the main character, I'm pretty sure he'll stay in that role up to the very end...but he won't come out of this without at least a "scar" or two or a slightly more humbled attitude, that's for sure.Ahh But is He Dead? Don't think so sirens in the distance, passing out because of blood loss, but still breathing. Cari is the Master of Cliffhangers get use to it grasshopper.

Now I'm curious. When did he redo the quiz? (also, guess I should have kept my old versions ...)

Can't recall if it was around 0.5 - 0.6. He didn't redo it per se, just added some dialogue about Twitter being X now and all that.

oh, btw i was meaning to thank you for this link for a while now
, but i always forget, which is ironic since I listen everyday, my truly absolute favorite song from the game so far, which is funny since nancy is kind of on the bottom of the food chain for me, and also its my least favorite sex scene, because of Orion behaviour, but damn this song hit differentI've always been a fan of how Caribdis uses background elements to bring scenes to life (stuff like Chang getting tripped at the pool, the guy in the gym running on the treadmill like he's Raiden running down the side of a skyscraper about to cut a Metal Gear in half, etc). Stuff that may or may not ever be directly referenced by the people talking that catches the corner of your eye, making you want to rollback to see the progression of events.
But the one thing I find myself always being on the lookout for regardless of what's going on in the scene is Carolyn's antics.
