This could tie into the theory that Orion repeats events in a sort of time loop.
That's just one interpretation. Another interpretation is that it's like Bioshock: Infinite/Steins;Gate where there are countless alternate realities and that people like Idriel are aware of such and that they are curating our Orion's reality to be the "ideal" in order to "break the chain" and ultimately free the dead from their unnatural undeath. Another is that it's like Planescape: Torment where time happens in a linear fashion and that it's more of a "reincarnation cycle" where certain events play out the same way and actors play roles similarly but the circumstances and variables are always different. Caly's tale of Anima is an example where such past events are repeating in the present and Idriel is aware of this and wants to break the deadlock because said deadlock is related to the dead being trapped in Eternum.

Random question. Do you guys read Orion's lines in an English accent or American accent in your head?
I read everyone's lines in an American accent, but it's just because it's what I'm used to hearing (English is my 2nd language and I had an American teacher). Even if I know that the characters are supposed to be British. I guess this depends on each player's environment

How far are you? Because the game basically answers your question as to who Thanatos is (unless you think the reveal is a lie).

I think most likely is Orion would have moments where an English accent shines through but I think he's mainly "supposed to" have a midwestern U.S. accent.
Annie and Chang would likely sound British though.
Nah, Annie has a Russian accent.

Kidding aside, IIRC Cari said that he basically wrote it with everyone having a "neutral" accent in mind, which makes sense given that you can't really write an accent without having it be a bitch to write and read (see: written cockney accent), moreso if you're unfamiliar with said accents (Cari is Spanish).

I think he didn't live long enough in England to adopt an English accent. A person's accent is, I believe, formed early and from their surrounding environment, though it can adapt a little over time in the right circumstances. I know people who have lived in England for many years, arriving as adults, and do not have more than maybe a hint of an English accent, their original accent almost completely intact. Their daughter, born in England, has a very English accent, not influenced by that of her parents but by her friends as she grew up. Orion was young enough that his accent is probably mostly American with an English influence.

Then again, somehow Orion forgot what miles were while living in England, so who knows what goes on in that weird brain of his :ROFLMAO:.

The true question would be: which English accent. There are many. He lived in London but that doesn't narrow it down. London is filled with people from all over the UK.

I read the accents sort of neutral, as I do with most things. Consistently doing an accent you don't know well is difficult.

I just started playing this game today, and I'm really liking it. The style of humour that was in Once In A Lifetime is here and absolutely on-point. The characters are engaging, the story is interesting, and the visuals are really nice.

But I just had to make a comment on how funny I found the favourite movies under each girl's profile. The Matrix? The Big Lebowski? Fight Club? Se7en? These are the bro-iest movies possible. I'm shocked American Psycho and Pulp Fiction aren't on here. Like, yeah, women can like them too, but I have yet to meet a single woman who would call any of them her favourite. Their demographics definitely skew HEAVILY one way.

Well I met two Woman who loved such Movies, my first Girlfriend absolutely loved the Matrix Trilogy even if she already had seen them hundreds of times she would watch them again and again and my Cousin who is pretty much tomboy-ish all the time.
So yeah has to do with who you meet.

Seem to recall Fight Club being popular with the ladies at one point because of topless Brad Pitt :whistle:, though I'm sure Alex likes it for a different reason (that reason being "violence"). Also, I seem to recall that a popular stereotype back then is that anyone who likes the Matrix is a conspiracy nut who thinks reality is an illusion...and Nova is a conspiracy nut. Se7en...well, I'm sure you'll understand once you get to know Luna a little bit more.

Big Lebowski...yeah, I got nothing. Maybe Penny just likes the Dude's approach to life or something?
