I don't think this is true, the "cabin dip" choice will set both
Code: 
  $ daliapath = False
  $ daliau = False
Which pretty much means you're locked out of her path.

1 important thing that this game is lacking and should be in there by default, considering the huge amount of time between updates, should be a proper end o the update and with the next , we should have a Recap feature (skippable) as many others VN have. this way one can remember what happened 6-12 months ago and we'd have a better flowing experience..expecially considering how much the story weight in this great game. strange dev didn't think about this..really

Also in the part where a beggar asks for money on the roman empire server, you're encouraged by the walkthrough to give him some money, and when you do, he says someting along the lines of "the other ones were also kind to me"

Well I've been beginning to think that the "Gems of Doom" are more than just the namesake. Idriel has hinted at her collective had been watching Orion with interest because of his peculiar powers and ability to do things that go against what they expected. My guess is they are focused on nihilism and predict the end of the "world", or maybe all worlds when all 10 gems of doom are collected, and believe this is a fated event. However, they noticed that Orion is capable of making choices and actions going outside their predicted results (the coin which is constantly brought up), and Idriel commenting that no matter how many times Orion has reached death's door he has defied fate's intention each time.

Well if we think about it, the gems were originally (according to Caly's story) in possession of the Eldari hero, in Hyril'ar.

Based on the fact that Hyril'ar was extremely hard to reach for Calypso and MC can't sense Kredon anymore while there, plus there's actual people there rather than just animals and monsters, I think we can make the assumption that Hyril'ar is a "real world", similar to our galaxy.

Besides NPC's and players astral projections, there are no people in Eternum. Alex pointed out at the Ulysses dinner that the sky had the same stars as Earth, or some type of phenomenon that only happened once a year, don't remember exactly, but the point is that was a very specific detail and yet, we weren't on Earth but in Eternum. The Eternum worlds/servers seem to be more of magical nature, but still linked to our world as a parallel dimension.

So Eternum is in our world, and somehow the Gems of Doom ended up there, even though they're from Hyril'ar.

How? Impossible to say at this point and we can only speculate. But it's possible they were initially used to create a portal between our world and Hyril'ar, and the Elves named the gems as "of Doom" because of the harm and destruction they could bring from other worlds. And the name just stuck.

Thanatos also said "you will be remembered soldier after we reshape the world". William believes the gems are the beginning and the end, very essence of Eternum. So they clearly have significant powers, powers to change reality as we know it.

There's a story there who used them initially and for what purpose, but that's yet to be told.

As for MC, The Nightmare lady who brought up the metaphor of chess pieces, told MC he's wrong when he said once the game is over they all go back in the same box. Game being life and box being death. There's also the render of a morgue and some sort of magic emanating from one of the lockers.

Perhaps MC is defying fate, or death, by coming back over and over. Would fit with his comment when waltzing with Penny, "it's as if he learned to waltz in another life".

This would also mean he could originate from any timeline. Technically he could be the Eldari hero himself, but then that would make him Calypso's forefather... so yeah that doesn't work. Unless the hero never had children with Anima and people just assumed they did because they were married.
