Am I right in thinking that there's no way to avoid Orion "dying" as a result of his encounter with the xenomorphs on the Andromeda server's space station?

You can survive, but its a bit hidden:
If you bought Annie the Pendant of Destiny in the very beginning of the game, you survive without dying (during very first interaction with the item vendor in eternum)

However i don't think the level loss is a huge debuff: level in Eternum seems to be more a vanity thing or rather, it shows how powerful you are/were, but you don't gain power FROM level ups but levels from completing hard challenges. The real debuff for normal players is loss of equipment from dying, but eternum player skill rises from actual personal skill, not points distributed during lvl up like classic rpgs.

Room Girl was released so I thought I'd give it a try. Tried to re-create Annie because she's the easiest. Turns out, Room Girl is even more demanding than Cyberpunk. I did manage to capture one screenshot before my computer exploded though. So although Caribdis has already said he wouldn't switch to Room Girl, I guess that's even more certain now.

Just finished playing the game till v0.3, after the Thanatos fight.
Caribdis, your a bloody genius... this is a fuckin work of art.
I am awed by the amount of work you've put into this game.
You deserve way more then every dime we throw at you.

Hell, Eternum needs to be made into an anime or a 3D animation series.
Seriously, this is too perfect to end as just a porn game.

...Wait, seriously?
Well my GPU was running at 100% all the time, so it was very hot. I'm not an artist but I do know you need time and patience to set up the lighting and poses. You'd feel rushed to make a scene if your computer is running very hot. Well, look on the bright side, HS2 will remain the best engine for Eternum.

I got a RTX 2070 card. I forgot the rest, but all that matters is my graphic card ran at 100%, so the other computer parts wouldn't have changed anything even if they were better.

Might sound surprising to you but your GPU being utilized 100% is just considered good optimization.
Your GPU is supposed to be able to run at full workload for extended amounts of time and not overheat.
If it does get too hot it clocks down, lowering temperatures but losing performance obviously. That shouldn't happen with a properly working cooler and well ventilated case.

Think of it this way, if you planned to run your card at like 75% utilization you could have just bought the next cheaper model down the list.

Second part is also not accurate. If your GPU shits out frames faster than your CPU can process them, you have something called a bottleneck. Also works the same the other way around of course.

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't think I did buy Annie the PoD and I'm not prepared to go right back to play from the start of the game to acquire it, but I think you're right about the levels and hopefully the loss of my credits won't prove too much of a handicap.

Incidentally, I do admire the clever way that Caribdis has set up a situation where some characters feel like they are blood relatives but aren't, so that there's no way that Patreon or whatever can object but relationships can feel like incest for those who are into that sort of thing.
