Not the same thing man. Stabby was nobody when he was helping OIALT MC. He became the Prez after the events of the main story. But Raul and Noah are already mafia bosses since the beginning of Eternum

Not really? He was a fugitive on the run, then became head of a Yakuza clan during his time in Japan, then became a Priest, then a Vigilante, then a Pilot Captain, and THEN became President of the US of A.Not the same thing man. Stabby was nothing when he was helping OIALT MC. He became the Prez after the events of the main story. But Raul and Noah are already mafia bosses since the beginning of the game
And what about Hiromi moonlighting as a tourist guide when he was also selling drugs and is now the de facto head of the Yakuza by 2034? You gonna piss on him too?
OR the fact that a high-ranking member of a demonic cult, someone who looks like a middle-aged hobo, tried to enter a UK college posing as a student?
And BLOODY SUCCEEDED?
Point being, the Cariverse is wild as is that Raul and Noah's backgrounds and behavior basically come off as the norm, not the exception.

thats exactly what makes them such a good head of mafia family. noone suspects random dude who does petty job for couple bucks to be head of mafia. And the fact they are at school thus generating heat is reverse psychology. no way head of mafia would be stupid enough to stand out so much as to be grown ass man in college who also openly does shady shit... so on one hand you are creating persona that is unlikely for anyone to assume is head of mafia family while simultaneously showcasing your power to other mafia families because you are literally doing shady business and generating heat and getting away with it. its brilliant genius thinking from raul and noahTbh the Raul and Noah story makes no sense to me. So those two are the heads of a mafia family, and they run all the illegal activities on the west coast. Yet they act like errand boys and help Orion time to time for just a couple of bucks?!

I understand your point. It's just that I think the whole point there is that it's just absurd humour. Having people like that act like they're just regular college kids. I could be wrong, but I think it's intentionally absurd, and played for laughs.

Exactly. The...Cariverse (?
) just has some absurd elements as comic relief elements. I can understand if that infringes on someones immersion, but really Eternum isn't exactly a realistic game to begin with.

Still not the same thing dude. Idk what you are trying to prove here. Raul and Noah story arc makes no sense at all. At least, as of EP9. We don't know yet the rest of the story.
Stabby, Hiromi, Asmodeus... All of them were helping OIALT MC for FREE. They did NOT beg money for anything. They had their own reasons to help him.
Stabby helped him because he owned his freedom to him. Hiromi helped him to get rid of the Azazel's dead body because he couldn't want to attract the attention of the police. Asmodeus helped him because he hated Astaroth and wanted to end his cult.
As I said before mafia bosses do not act like errand boys and help kids for a few dollars. Because they don't need money. Especially if they operate in a huge region like the West Coast of America.
You would have been right, If they had helped him for free from the beginning of the story. But they didn't. I mean, they were literally begging for money during Nancy's yoga session... and also Orion paid them a lot of money for their help in the bank robbery.

I dont want to be mean or anything, but this game lost its spunk. It had quirky humor and story, but feels like it burned out and became pretty boring. I played it for hours when started, now I cant get thru last update...

Not explicitly yet, but in the cases Orion can die in Eternum it is hinted at that the founder might now have some form of power over him after his life is saved by the Amulet.

If you're not into Eternum anymore it's ok. You can always look for other options that fulfill you. Same thing happened to me with Summer's Gone & Where It All Began (Ocean) and Intertwined (Nyx).

And that's the problem: you're operating under the assumption that they are SIMPLY mafia bosses when it's shown in the story that they ALSO moonlight as soldiers for hire who would do things so long as they get paid. So what happened back at the gym is not that two mafia bosses bowed to the whims of a horndog who wanted to take out his competition, but rather two mercs stood by the old principle of "we don't wreck shit unless we get paid." And got paid they did (even if it was just peanuts in comparison to what they probably earn in a day).

Wait to see the rest of the story for what? They were talking about goddamn Sarajevo back in the heist. They WERE soldiers of fortune who also happened to be mob bosses. And I don't see why that would bother you when characters with weirder career progression paths than theirs already exist in the setting.Perhaps. Lets wait and see the rest of the story.

It's that time of the month again, dropping my usual "oh wow, these are really good looking desktop environment background renders post"

spoiler tag it please
Uhh, I understood the flashbacks and the smiling on Nova's side as something akin to realizing the harem situation and accepting it (and maybe if embrace/fanatsize about it).

Still Spoiler tags, please.
For one because there might be people even avoiding the dev sneak peeks and for another because the renders might slow the thread down for people with a slow device or low bandwidth internet.
it doesn't have to make sense. it's good because it's absurd and doesn't make sense.Tbh the Raul and Noah story makes no sense to me. So those two are the heads of a mafia family, and they run all the illegal activities on the west coast. Yet they act like errand boys and help Orion time to time for just a couple of bucks?!
and for all we know they may not even be heads of a mafia family. they might not have any family or subordinates at all. maybe they just laid claim to the west coast territory on a whim, and they are just john wick level fighters so the other families came to the conclusion that they would lose more trying to get the territory than just letting them be. and they are not errand boys. they ask for payment as a principle. never moving for free.
and you question that, but not the whole premise of the game ? an immortal that use the stolen power of elves from another world to make humans cast their souls and consciousness into astral projections of their bodies to travel worlds full of dead people souls being controlled by that immortal and all of it is passed as a game to Earth population just so he can manipulate them into searching for the artifacts he needs ?
both require a huge amount of suspension of disbelief.
sneak peeks are literally spoilers...
and those peeks are behind a paywall, and you can choose to avoid them by not going to read the posts.
I interpreted it as she saw in that moment that all the girls in the flashback have the same feelings as her for MC and are even closer to her than Nancy is. so both potential for more fun, and potential for the harem to go smoothly like it did for herself.
I think she already accepted the harem when MC chose the right answer, but might still have some understandable reservations. she realized just before the flashbacks, that she didn't feel awkward when watching MC with Nancy even though she said she would. she liked watching. so her reservations might have been obliterated at that point. that's why the flashbacks should be more about her exploring her options
