Its not the act of having sex with Eva (as I have said multiple times already) but the act of taking >1k of Annie's money that she has been saving for years and blowing it all up on hookers. Do you really think Annie would have been thrilled it see this? Especially given the context that the player is presented with before that scene?
Declining the scene is fine but accepting it should not be completely free of consequences. At the very least make the player lose money instead of having him walk away like nothing happened. And if you want to make the MC be a dick that's fine too but make it consistent - while I enjoy eternum more, character development and the inconsiderate/asshole choices is one of the places I feel like the other top rated game on this site Pale Carnations is vastly superior to eternum.
Sure I get it, but it seems a bit harsh to punish the player for wanting to watch the only sex scene of the update, or saying Orion is a dick just because he think with his dick in that moment. Annie gives him the money so it belongs to him now, and Orion do tell her he'll repay her in some way in the future. Not only that, but he just came out of Chop-chop after he potentially bought something for Annie. So saying he's a dick or that he should suffer bad consequences because he choses to have sex with a virtual hooker who has done nothing wrong and for whom he has the money, considering that it is his first time and he is a horndog, is harsh.
I haven't played PC yet, but Eternum seems lighter in its tone so it all comes down to what your standards are. In this case there's no need for bad consequences because you can justify not getting them and still keep consistancy with both the world and the characters. Orion is a horndog so he uses his free time to have sex with Eva. Eva loved it so she doesn't want him to pay. End of story. No one will be none the wiser about it because that's her "job", and we can move on with the game, playing a guy who, despite the fact that he's nice with the girls, is still a horndog and sometimes can't help but think with his dick. Everything's justified, everything's consistant.
And if you can't see the consistancy, it's a you problem. You can then just decline the scene and move on.
Yes, you can avoid the prostitute in Eternum.
Thanks for the info
Yeah, that's what I mean with a "hook" scene. A lot of VNs are using something like this, often it is a memory or a dream or a fantasy etc. to have a sex scene early, without needing to build it up.
It is just a bit weird to see something like this in a game that otherwise takes massive amounts of time.
Doesn't seem weird to me, "au contraire". The game take massive amounts of time to build up the plot and the relationships with the LIs, so Eva is just the solution to add a sex scene to the first update without rushing into things. Hence why there's no consequences despite being justified and consistant within the world and the character.
Really people complaining about the lack of consistancy on things that actually has consistancy is kinda tiring. Note to self : stop entering these frays.
