If you've been trapped in perpetual limbo (heh) for gods know how long and the only person destined to save you and every other dead person trapped with you is instead living his best life and starting to stray far from what he was destined to do...wouldn't you be pissed?
She has only herself to blame for being so cryptic and not just giving him the straight dope.

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.

Interesting thought on that one Dorfnutter, I think you may be onto something with that theory.:unsure:

Like anyone else, I'd definitely be, it's a logical sentiment, but I also wouldn't be a massive dick about it. Her being trapped in there and condescendingly pointing out how it's useless to explain that to a mere "mortal" doesn't help her cause, just like randomly appearing completely naked in front of that same "mere mortal" after the moral lesson she gave him doesn't and it only makes it harder for the MC to focus on his mission.:whistle:

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.

A plausible reason would be that since they're undergoing a divorce then she might want to wash her hands on Alex and start anew, remarry herself into another rich family with no baggage. And given that Alex had been nothing but trouble to the family, then all the better that Cilla doesn't end up having to deal with her in the future (as the former getting into trouble might ruin the latter's future prospects or such).
Likely scenario right there. Well said. Trash like that only deserves the worst possible Karma and not an ounce of sympathy.

We don't know much about Cilla, yet. IIRC we've seen her just one time in the whole game, and there she was drunk af. Maybe you guys right... Maybe she is pure evil just like Will. But even though she was drunk she didn't say any bad thing about her daughter and Orion. If she was that evil, she would have demolished both of them while they were in Bardot's house.
Maybe it isn't as bad as I am thinking and Cilla could help against William in the future. And true she was quite drunk that one time. I just got the impression she did spite her daughter for not being obedient and presentable like her. Maybe Alex's disobedience is the root problem of at least some of the quarrels and conflicts between the two parents.
I am kinda seeing two options here. One is that Cilla could either be more rebellious against William through Alex's behavior and she is more envious of her freedom (which would be more towards your take I guess). Number two (more my take) that she blames Alex for failing to be the way her mother wants to and that Cilla resents her for causing more troubles than she's worth.
Lol, the amount of excuses some of you guys are trying to make to justify that cunt's lack of responsibility and not even half-decent parenting making her seem like a good person and mother, when Alex herself and basically a lot of other hints and things specifically stated in the story about her tell you it's the complete opposite of what you think is hilarious.

Is she worse that Baldy Willie ?? We don't know... most likely not, BUT any actual, responsible mother, who respects herself and deserves to be called one, would've taken her and her brother and run off to fuck knows where to get away from that toxic environment filled with rich, arrogant snakes and backstabbing, envious idiots, not stay there for the good life victimizing herself and blaming William and the 'high society' for her mistakes and her being a shitty excuse of a mother decades afterward. THAT is what a real mother would've done, not what that drunk cunt did, who's only interested in the Bardot $$$ and privileges that come with it. As a comparison, just pay attention to Nancy's character, a single mom of two with two other strangers, Annie and the MC, to feed and put a roof over their heads, and this 'misunderstood' amazing human being called Priscilla with two kids of her own.

There's a difference of cosmic proportions between them, where Priscilla is the Andromeda Galaxy and Nancy's our beautiful Milky Way, and science teaches us it's not the Milky Way chasing after Andromed to do some freaky ass galactical Rated R hanky panky, it's the other way around, just like it is in our case.

Ironically, the presumption of innocence doesn't apply in this case, where the exact opposite needs to be proven, and only future updates can do that and either redeem or completely shit on her character.

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.

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).

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?
