people referring to a character named Orion in relation to Andromeda. I don't remember seeing a character named Orion during this part. Did I miss something in the walkthrough?
Orion is the MC if you didn't renamed him at the beginning :)

Probably gonna happen sometimes in the future just for the ref because Jerry is obviously inspired by Kenny, even his name is alike
A good opportunity was missed imho during the Halloween party for Jerry to make an appearance dressed up as Kenny. Maybe he'd have a little accident and looked as if he'd died, and then shuffle through the halls like a zombie or something:

Must say, he would've rocked the costume that night, since he's so familiar already with the topic of death.

I could have sworn the...commander was it?...I could have sworn he only gave us one bomb. The reason I chose to blow the place up was because siding with the alien scientists feels like the same thing in OiaL when the big bad offers to make you a deal halfway through the game. Yeah, this isn't the halfway point, nor are the aliens the big bad, but I just got those sort of vibes.
Likely an oversight or he was given a spare but the script failed to mention that he was given a pair of explosives instead of just the one.

Also, I don't know if this is something for later, but when I was trying to search for people talking about which option they chose for this part, I saw a lot of people referring to a character named Orion in relation to Andromeda. I don't remember seeing a character named Orion during this part. Did I miss something in the walkthrough?
That's the MC's default name (Orion Richards) and is widely used by the community in discussions about the VN.

This makes me wonder just how old Jerry is. When he was talking to the MC in Ekabar he said that he's been playing the game since it was released. So he's either older than most of the main characters, which just makes his obsession with Dalia even creepier, or he started playing as just a child.
Could be older than Penny and Nova by a year or two, so about 10-11 when he started playing (back before the pedo controversy that Alex mentioned in the Pixar server, likely). Assuming that's the case, that makes him...22-23 years old, which may sound old, but not too old for him to be hanging out with an 18-year old I think.

Dorf is probably right, but I'm on board for him being in his early 20s when the game came out and him just being even that much creepier ... and an reason for him NOT to be invited to the campus parties ...

Could be that he wasn't at the party because Dalia wasn't there (the fucking simp) and elected instead to stay at home and grind his levels in Eternum (only for him to lose it all by stepping in that bloody landmine at the beginning of this update).

And iirc Dalia said back at the trenches after he blew up sky high, that if he continued dying as often as he did, he wasn't going to reach level 10 like that. And if for some reason, he does appear at the Big Hunt event then he'll die just as fast (and perhaps in an even gruesome manner if such event has some devious traps, hunters or beasts deployed). :unsure:

She's really wanting it...
Me to Calypso: I know I've theorized for a while that one of your roles in the story is to basically act as Orion's "hound" (since a good hunter needs a good hunting hound and all that)...so you acting like one (i.e. sensing where Orion is and watching over him, going over to Orion's location in Blackridge like a good hound) is definitely not helping your case.

Might be a compulsion she can't control. Calypso does like and enjoy power and being a haughty princess attracted to a few taboos as the last of her kind must really be messing with her.

I mean she can act as a princess and still be a "hound." Being either one doesn't cancel the other, IMO.

It's more that it's a show of her... Standards?... Curiosity?... She's more or less breaking down. Whether that's from the connection with Orion as shown at the gas station, or something else, I really don't know.

Either way... She's getting the Orc D.

Unless Orion turns into an orc while they're in a warcraft server or something, she better fucking not.

Anyway just to be clear I'm not saying she's being the way she is because of some sort of compulsion to be Orion's "hound." Rather, I'm saying that that's what I think is going to be her "role" given the many references Cari has been constantly throwing throughout the story regarding Orion (default name) and his mythological counterpart (i.e. the "coincidental" number of the LIs corresponding to the Pleiades, Orion's weird obsession back in Ogygia in hoping that Calypso was a ranged weapon that hunters usually favor (crossbow), Orion's body recently growing "larger" (in the myths Orion is basically a giant), Nova referencing Orion the Hunter when she saw his costume in 0.5, "The Huntsman" being one of the nickname/title choices this update).

And like I said, her recent actions are definitely not helping her escape the allegation. XD

Dammit, I gotta freshen up on my myths...

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
The only direct connection they have with each other in the myths is that they're characters in Homer's "The Odyssey," with Caly being a nymph who lived in the island Ogygia and was a "love interest*" for the hero Odysseus/Ulysses, and Orion the Hunter being encountered (or more accurately, seen) by Odysseus/Ulysses during his trip in the underworld.

That being said, they never really interacted with one another (even in the Odyssey).

Edit: Should've added those air-quotes as emphasis given that she basically forced Odysseus/Ulysses to be her lover by trapping him in her island in the hopes that he would forget his quest to reunite with his wife Penelope and stay with her instead
