I think it is pretty clear that there will never be a path in this game like that. But it is clear that if you reject a LI (or simply fuck up), their life will go on and they will be together with someone else.
I always assume a no means no, so I would never choose that option for Dalia or anyone (I did try it out of curiosity to see how bad she reacted, but that´s not the canon playthrough, it´s more of a what if scenario). Every girl that has had a penetration sex scene has liked it rough. Dalia said she can take it harder than her sister and I can´t wait to see that happening.
Yeah I just meant Alex seemed the closest to enjoying being dominated, that final sex scene being the most clear cut example to me. I'm talking about more the type who likes to put up a little "token resistance" and then be dominated and none of the Eternum girls really seem to be that type. I have seen plenty of other games where they have girls who fit that mold though. Just need to set it up so it's clear that it's a "no means yes" scenario rather than a rape scenario. The first type I find pretty hot. The second type I'm not into.
I think that Alex just has that whole tough girl thing going on but then once you break through it, she just...wants it. Idk, in the scene with the MC you see her teasing and teasing and then she didn´t let him touch her but then it´s okay if it´s just the tip and suddenly she´s hammering him on the couch. She really wanted it and had no idea how bad. The final act, with the MC pounding her on the floor (by the way, my favourite part of all the sex scenes in the game so far) is just Orion realizing how bad he wanted it too. It´s him saying "We´re done when I´m done".
We both know the correct option should be to take the coffee from her, pin her on the nearest surface, give her a deep passionate kiss and then ravage her like in the elevator sceneIf there is one criticism I would level at Eternum that it would be that a lot of the decisions are kinda pointless to begin with.

You can either thank Nancy for bringing you a coffee or not. Guess which choice will increase her heart rating with Orion...
Why did you say pen? Is it a code for something?
If you know any psychology, the pen isn't that difficult to come up with. She's a rich girl, smokin' hot, tat-rebel that's used to being sucked up too, but isn't into all of that (you can deduce some of this before the scene). When the choices are the "small brain" comments (looks or tats) and there's an alternative that's a little bit odd but not horn dog in any way, that's the obvious and natural choice, and it doesn't take that much devious thinking to write if that's already how you're wired as a writer. Of course, much of this community has difficulty thinking with anything other than the small brain, so I can see how that would be a problem for them.
^ this. "No means No" is a good approach most of the time, especially in more wholesome games which Eternum is.
Considering how his inner thoughts are a lot less yappy compared to other introspective VN MCs out there (i.e. Shirou from FSN, the MC from Lycoris Radiata, Valentine from STWA: Unbroken), this sounds more like a "you" problem I think.
Nah, not really. People replay japanese VNs because of the amount of endings/routes they provide. For example, School Days have like 20+ endings, here's the route map
I mean, I only made the comparison to explain the "choices without context" decision to begin with. Besides, not all Japanese VNs have that many endings, most of the moege I play for instance have an ending for each heroine and MAYBE a true route if it isn't already part of the aforementioned. Aside from the bad ends of course.
This amount of routes doesn't mesh well with serializing your work. You have one path in episode 1, two paths in episode 2... all the way to 128 paths in episode 8. If episode 1 takes one month to make, episode 8 will take 11 years. So what can you do?
Well...you've seen all you WANT to see.
i mean i missed some scenes so i had to play it over i didnt mind itWell...you've seen all you WANT to see.
In the end Eternum is just a very linear and focused game with a likewise story. That can be a weakness for some and a strength for others. At least it won't blow-up in size and scope like BaDIK has, which is the true ASoIaF as far as VNs go.
