From what I've remember that has been brought up already in the thread (I don't want look up the post when the thread has 999 pages).
This was discussed in ch 4, when Linus was showing off his NPC control device.
That's one interesting question. Perhaps if the protagonist and the haremettes get a hold of one of Linus' devices they could use it on an NPC to find out (and not being found out). Regarding a Praetorian, it'll take some effort to subdue one and get that info (without attracting attention from the others, or risking excommunication). It could be a job for Nova if she manages to hack successfully into Eternum's database files or an inside job with Nancy for instance.
The real question is does "all" of the NPCs have it? Because if Eternum is really a parallel universe how about the residents of it? Does that mean that they all got killed and inserted chips in their corpse and turned into NPC (which sounds kinda fucked more up to me than a player that died in Game and turned into a NPC)
Technically the most interesting idea is if it's possible for you to control someone even if they are not a NPC, like for example if you're able to have an ID number of a player and enter in in the box and use it... which basically hypnotizing someone, could also result into some brain damage.
I don't think that would make sense structurally or for her character. She wants to stand on her own two feet, that is the whole point of moving into that shitty neighborhood to begin with. She rather does that than to depend on someone else, so moving in with the Carters would pretty much undermine that point.
It's a sad reminder that life is unpredictable, like that guy in the BaDIK subreddit who passed away recently, dude was one of the most engaged members and unfortunately won't see the end of that game.Makes you wonder how many of the users in the thread will be able to see the end of Eternum (the real ending with the haremettes and the offspring, and the other ones that Cari might've planned in store).
It partly makes sense what you said, but I think something will happen in her current house, whether it's a fire like the guy said above or simply because it's not safe due to her father knowing where she lives. This might force her to look for another place to live for now, even if it's not MC's house but someone Li's house that she's close to like Nova.
Yeah, but that is highly hypothetical at this point.
Since her grade S a-hole of a father now knows who MC is ; I think even MC's house is unsafe at that point...
Guess we'll have to wait until v0.7 is released to see where Alex will go to live after the incident in her flat (and perhaps by the end of the story, the haremettes and the protagonist will move in together). And we've reached a milestone in the thread, now that I've noticed:
I hope so ; it would make everything easier, assuming Alex would leave her appartment... independant as she is and mighty stubborn, she might consider staying anyway...
There's nowhere you can go to be safe from that much money, ask Epstein...
Imagine Alex ended up moving to Chang's house knowing they have Thanatos/Boss level of defense so it would have been safer for her to be there (poor Alex though she'll be seeing things like Chang and...Snu-snu...
)
If Alex sees Chang the Casanova and the Michaelanitor doing the horizontal dance, she'll have one horror story to tell to Mr. Richards as he learns how his best friend's pelvis was shattered in that incident, the probable visits to a therapist from her part and nightmares (not to mention the intermixed high-pitch screams of pleasure and pain she'll be forced to listen).Imagine Alex ended up moving to Chang's house knowing they have Thanatos/Boss level of defense so it would have been safer for her to be there (poor Alex though she'll be seeing things like Chang and...Snu-snu...
