he wasn't wrong for standing up for himself and defend himself, sure. but he did underestimate them too much, and overestimate himself by contrast. and most importantly, he turned his back to them. just that shows overconfidence and/or arrogance.

It's theory time! :cool:

About the Syndicate

First of all, lets hear Mr. Mos who is a member of Ulysses' board of directors.

Well... According to Mr. Mos, they are nothing but a small anarchist group. What if they are not? :unsure:

Contrary to popular opinion I think the Syndicate is some kind of a secret service like C.I.A. and K.G.B., it's neither a small anarchist group nor a guerrilla-type militia force. I don't think they are a very crowded organization, though. Probably a tiny team of a few hundred people. Are they working under someone's orders or are they independent? It is uncertain at this point. But I think one thing is certain that their main objective is gathering informations all around the Eternum for helping Orion.

Also they must know the true nature of Eternum and must be aware of The Founder's real plans. Otherwise why would they want to help Orion? This would be quite counterintuitive. But how did they know about these? Who told them? There're so many questions that need to be answered.

Another question. Are they NPCs or real players? I think they are NPCs, namely rogue NPCs like Thanatos. They are not controlled by Ulysses, and they are conscious of their own existence. This explains that little messenger girl in EP4. Because we already know people under 18 years old can not play Eternum.

Even if they are not an independent organization, they must have a leader. In order to do their job successfully, secret services need to work in coordination and this is only possible with a good leadership. I certainly think we met the leader in EP2. She told us she is just a member of the Syndicate, but I really didn't buy that. I know it's not often that the leaders of the secret services work in the field. Though, Eternum is not the real world. Besides we are talking about NPCs, not real players. They don't have to follow real-life rules.

There is an another mysterious woman in EP7, too. She wears the same outfit with the leader. Could they be the same person? I doesn't seem so. Because she doesn't wear that "Star of David" necklace, and doesn't have those green tattoos on her face. Also their facial structures look quite different. There should be some dissimilarities that distinguish the leader from ordinary members.

There is no doubt that the Syndicate is one of the game's greatest mysteries, and they're going to be super important.

Another reason to look forward to future episodes, eh? :p

another thing to add is that we've yet to know the use for that letter from the Syndicate. Looking in the script, the contents of the letter (the phrase Askion kataskion lix tetrax damnameneus aision) is an Ephesia Grammata, meaningless greek words or phrases with power to protect those who could speak them correctly, their power residing in their sound, so that they were ineffective if mispronounced. Since the walkthrough tells us to NOT read the letter at that time, my guess would be that the letter is some kind of incantation to summon a type of protective spell or entity, so it should be only used on the most extreme of circumstances.

I mean they did leave us a hint, at least...

Am I the only one who think that in last couple chapters just... nothing happens except banging? Like plot action is literally 10% of game time now. 5 minutes of explanation from Bardtod, 2 minutes talk with Idriel, 2 minute talk with cayot and cliffhanger in the end. That is literally all. 60% of screentime is now banging or exposition to it, and 30% just some sidequests (those were good in first chapters, but we are near the end of the game now)

Last update serves to show what Eternum really is to the characters while introducing key elements as LIMBO and setting the scene for 0.8. It was a necessary update which will permit to develop Orion's character in the future as he will learn from his mistakes.In a game, character development is as important as story development. For once we may seen a MC grow as a character and I will certainly not complain about it.
And as Dorfnutter said we're clearly not near the end of the story, we're only halfway so there is a lot more to come :whistle:

Taking the pendant will help you not die from the Aliens in 0.4.

Also you "need to meet Eva" in the brothel when you first play Eternum, you will meet her eventually in the Wild West Server.

Eva will also help you with the junkies at the end of the update, so you won't die at the end of the update :whistle:

I guess I´ll do all that in another playthrough. In the current one, whatever happens, happens.
