An alternative to the "gold digger who never cared about her children" explanation for her behaviour: She married young, seduced by a charming man who knew how to hide what he really was. He got her pregnant as soon as possible to have her and her child dependent on him so that leaving him would be difficult. Then he revealed his true personality. Stuck in a horrible situation, Priscilla fell into alcoholism.
Sound logic, according to RL feminists, gold diggers and dumb hoes that have a history of screwing shit up and spreading their legs for 'manly' assholes and abusive idiots, completely wrong assumption, according to actual logic and reality tho.

Let's be honest, some women and self-accountability don't belong in the same sentence. They'll always find someone else to blame for their stupidity, even their own kids, like this dumb bitch does by blaming Alex for her mistakes, and when that doesn't work, they'll blame men in general. That's their usual go-to excuse. Priscilla is a perfect example of a dumb gold digger thinking she won her big meal ticket and already stroke it rich by marrying into money no matter what. Sadly for her, Big Bad Baldy ain't no dumb simp with no self-esteem, which got her fucked literally and figuratively. Can't believe I'm saying this, but this is the only thing I respect his character for.

Blaming him for not forcing himself on her or blackmailing her into having sex with him is absurd. She should've known better, but let's pretend she really was too young, naive and with no life experience to do better... ok, I get that, ppl screw up a lot IRL. What's her excuse for being a shitty, neglectful mother turned into an alcoholic bitch then ?? Let me guess, it's the kids' fault for not being able to take care of themselves without crying and bitching about stuff, not hers, who should've known healthy kids need and deserve unconditional love, support and understanding just as much as they need money to become normal, responsible adults their parents would be proud of.

Look at her face in that scene. She looks sad. Contrast to William, who looks cruel.
Now that Alex is being completely disowned and won't even have the apartment to live in (not that she wanted it) William could be lying about it being her mother's idea, but he could also easily have bullied her mother into backing him, even making her think that it was her idea.
Lol, you grasping for straws here trying to make a point that it's easily debunked by the story. We can pretend all we want she was sooo innocent, sooo naive and sooo abused that she was forced to live the good life as a rich, snobby bitch, but we can't pretend she was even close to deserving to be called a mother, when her own daughter specifically mentions she wasn't one that gave a shit about her and Axel to begin with.

This does not excuse Priscilla leaving the children in the care of nannies while she got drunk. It doesn't excuse her blaming Alex for what happened. If she was the one who suggested disowning Alex (perhaps hoping it would appease William), it also does not excuse that.

But it makes her a damaged woman who was mentally and emotionally crushed by her husband. Someone with potential for redemption, not someone evil like William.
Please tell us again who FORCED her to stay in an evidently abusive relationship without giving a shit about her kids' mental health, and for which reasons ?? Something other than her greed, ambitions and laziness, ofc, cuz I don't think Willie would've given a shit if she asked him for a divorce right after she found out about his constant cheating.

There's a big difference between explaining something to someone, a young 20yo brat, of all ppl, IIRC, whose help you desperately need, and talking down to him like he was an idiot unable to comprehend to seriousness of the shit he found himself into. And the MC does get his dick wet on a few occasions, BUT he doesn't forget what his purpose is in the game and how he needs to help all those NPCs and her escape from that parallel dimension or whatever the fuck it's supposed to be.
I think the implication is that Orion's behavior this patch made Idriel think that he wasn't taking things seriously. Taking things seriously means that he doesn't take risks that would get him killed (i.e. taking the sketchy alley shortcut to the pizza place, escalating the situation with the junkies by talking down on them from a position of arrogance) or establishing trust with his warbandImean harem by coming clean with his feelings for them and making those bonds stronger.

Like, with that mindset of his it's more likely that he ends up thinking that it's his destiny to become ruler of Eternum and consider taking the gems for himself (on the pretext that he would "use them wisely as he rules over the dead") instead of using them for what Idriel and the dead want him to do (that being "breaking the chains" and liberating them, which could likely result in the gems using up all of their power and becoming of no use to anyone).

It's also possible that her restraints are preventing her from being direct with Orion and giving him the information he needs. Like, she keeps mentioning that he's not asking the right questions. To me, that sounds like she's forbidden from providing any more information other than the broad strokes and that the right question might allow her to provide better information without triggering her restraints.
There was a similar arc in a movie "I, robot", where Will Smith was talking with a hologram of a dead scientist - the hologram could hold a normal conversation as long as it was "on the topic", and the purpose of the whole conversation was to guide Will Smith to ask a question that would set his though process in the correct direction.
So while Calypso migth no be able to provide Orion with any knowledge and useful answers, she can confirm once he's onto something, that it's indeed a lead that he should follow, as this would be a "right question".

Been away for a week and it seems I've not lost much of note.

I played this game a while ago, and while I was enjoying the story, I snap stopped after Caribdis changed Nancy's hairstyle. I understand girls experiment with fashion, but as I really liked her original looks, the abrupt change really jolted my immersion.

Been a while now though.. Maybe I should just make peace with the fact that the dev is a fan of changing LI looks and re-dive into the game again without getting too attached.. :confused:
I'm the opposite - Nancy looks SO much better with long hair! Same for Annie.
And yes, girls will keep changing their hair a lot. Which makes sense!

Wait, there are people defending Priscilla?! Now I've seen it all.
That woman is DISGUSTING AND DESPICABLE. I hope she never shows up again in the story.

I wasn't defending her. I agree that she is not a good mom at all but she has no reason to have an idea like disowning her one and only daughter. The whole thing was Will's plan to make his daughter hates her mother. Think like this: who does Alex hate? Will and Axel right? But not his mom. Yes... she doesn't like her but she doesn't hate her. Besides even if she wanted to disown Alex, what would she get? Money?

I've not touched the game since the last update dropped, and even then, I played from the new update.

What exactly are Pricilla's crimes again?

I understand why ppl loathe her, and yet noone have a good theory about why she wants to disown Alex. :D
As I said earlier in this thread, getting the apartment and not having to deal with a headstrong kid whom you've neglected to nurture but also think you're entitled to control for the "image" sounds plausible. Kids have been disowned in real life for less.

She probably blames Alex for a lot of her problems, even though most of it is down to herself, I would imagine.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you here, again. :)

She's saying Will left the apartment to Cilla and Alex, right? So... umm... do you really think Alex wants to live in Will's apartment? It is Cilla's apartment already, and she will live in there without Alex. There's no doubt about that. Why would Cilla want to get the apartment? Alex hates Will and his money. She would rather beg on the streets than taking his money. So... there is no risk for Cilla about Alex's title deed of the apartment. :WeSmart:

About dealing with a headstrong kid... Could you please tell me the last time Cilla cares about Alex? Do you really think she'd disown Alex just to get rid of her once and for all? They don't like each other anyway. Cilla was absent in Alex's childhood and disowning Alex wouldn't do her any good. :Kappa:

Also... we're not talking about the real life. Eternum is an epic fantasy world. You know its rules as much as I do. So... comparing it with real life is highly irrelevant, don't you think? :WutFace:
