virgin girl working herself up with a few dildos

...and we've seen Nova use one, and I think she has some dialogue indicating she's used others. But really, as you say, it's handwaved away as is is typical of the genre, so Biggus Dickus and she are going to have a great time.

Of course, nothing different. This is porn, and that's the point. Just as there's no way that Nova IRL would have her first time be the way it is in the game (particularly not with someone as well-endowed as MC), the threesome is just as unrealistic. It's part of the fantasy.

FRVN said:
Another game I've played handled this with the virgin girl working herself up with a few dildos increasing in size before sleeping with the well-endowed MC. But in the end, these are porn games, so that kinda thing is handwaved away, and any girl, virgin or not, can take a massive dick with minimal discomfort.

I know it´s part of the porn experience, but I still try to always look at this with a hint of realism of what would happen in real life.
I doubt many people have sex for the first time and then their second time is a threesome. But that´s what happen to Nova and it seems it´s going to happen do Dalia too. I´m not complaining at all, the more the merrier.

No, it ended in a threesome scene with the 2 main heroines (the MC's stepsisters) and the MC. The full harem formation essentially happened in the ending slides (with some slides implying that MC has orgies with the LIs).

While the harem will likely be formed way earlier than OIAL, I'm not sure if he'll pursue an orgy scene by the end given that the presence of the Carters might complicate things. At best it'll likely be implied, with the aftermath being shown instead (or at worst, it'll just cut off right before it starts and skips to the next day where everyone is gearing up for the final battle).

That´s a bit...lame. Probably the most anticipated thing and all you get is a slide show. Anyway, I hope that´s not how this game ends. At least a 4some.

Can't happen. Nancy, Penny and Dalia are not allowed in the same room. Morality police is watching.

Forgot about that. For those three, we might only get information hinting at that, but not actual sex scene. Still, I hope that a scene with all the girls that can actually be shown having sex with eachother happens.

As I've mentioned upthread and elsewhere, this is one of my bigger (among relatively few) criticisms of OiaL--very little building of the harem; few of the girls knew MC was with any of the others until the grand finale, where we're all one big, happy, pregnant family. There was one other threesome, though, not just the one with MC's sisters. Eternum is definitely doing a better job building up to it.

Fair, but "virgins" (or "inexperienced non-virgins") behaving, well, inconsistently with their stated lack of experience is super-common, and we've already seen plenty of examples of it in Eternum. Some that come to mind:

Nova's BJ on MC
- And Dalia's, for that matter
- And Luna's
- Sure, a "virgin" could have given lots of BJs, but we know from the dialogue (Nova/Maat, Dalia/Alex) that neither of them had, and there's no way Luna had
MC and Maat
- Particularly when he's just been blown within an inch of his life
Arguably, Dalia's scene in the cabin
Nova in Rushed Break
- As a result of this, I'm not willing to consider either Penny's or Alex's first penetration scenes as evidence of their not being virgins at the time
- Even ignoring MC's size, this just isn't consistent with her lack of experience--or MC's for that matter; while he certainly isn't a virgin at the time, he's had sex a grand total of five (at most) times at that point
MC with both Alex and Penny
- leaving aside the question of whether they're virgins, this is the fourth and fifth, respectively, time he's had sex, assuming he went with Eva at the beginning (otherwise, third and fourth).

...and this isn't addressing the 0.8 scenes, which I haven't seen yet. I'm kind of hoping Annie's will be tender and romantic (mainly because I think that fits their relationship, but it would also be more realistic), but I'll see when I get to it. But given all that, Nova's second time being a threesome doesn't particularly faze me.

I wonder whether the incest ban includes voyeurism? I'd prefer some threesome options but failing that, it would still be hot to see Nancy walk in on Dahlia/Penny getting it on with MC or vice versa. I still think it was a missed opportunity not to have the girl who set up Penny's photoshoot fuck scene walk in on them getting it on and watch it (she doesn't have to join).

Probably, it may be allowed, but noone will risk. So i doubt there will be such scene, unless payment processors change rules.

Even if he is -- once his English is on a near-native level, he is likely to develop the story completely in English without ever thinking about anything in Spanish. (That's certainly how it would be for me. My native language is also not English.) Making a Spanish translation may be easy for him in that case, but it's still a lot of work that would distract him from work on the main project. Which is where he is needed because he is the only one qualified. There are thousands of people who are qualified to make the translation.

The value of translations is somewhat questionable anyway. The only times I have played AVNs in my native language instead of English was when (1) it was the original language, and (2) the English version wasn't better anyway. So that makes one out of a few dozen AVNs available in my native language that I have actually played in it.

Hi, I too have a really good English level without it being my first language. Just wanted to chip in to your comment and ask you that you do not forget about the times when your English wasn't as good as it may be now, or those that for whatever reason didn't have the chance to learn -- in my case, my parents paid for me to attend an English academy.

I don't agree at all that the value of translation is questionable, more so for games as popular as Eternum -- really, everyone deserves to enjoy it, regardless of what languages they are fluent in. It is easy to get sucked into English speaking holes (not sure if I should call it that) like F95 where the main used language is English, and we tend to forget our own languages exist.

Eternum would be better off with translations, and I hope the dev hires some translators to work on the game at some point.

I think it's harder to see for people who only speak English (like me), since most games are developed in English and then translated to other languages we never see the janky translated version. But I've played enough games that were made in Russian or some other non English language and then machine translated to English to know that machine translations are usually comically, immersion breakingly bad. So I have to imagine the same is true translating from English to other languages. Maybe AI translations are better now? No idea.

They all end up pregnant? Is that a player choice or does it happen regardless?
At least in Eternum, has you said, we have Nancy who´s being set up has the "girl-gatherer", bringing the harem together and explaining things on behalf of Orion. At least here the girls will know where things stand.

I take those scenes as they not feeling ready to take that step but still wanting to do something with Orion. Nova´s bj was kind of forced (realistically they could have just logged out of Eternum and not do it, but they would loose all their stuff and Nova had that iconic riffle in game, etc), but she liked him enough and it seems like she needed a push do to something she kind of wanted to already. All the other scenes where mostly initiated by the girls themselves.
I don´t know if Alex or Penny were virgins, I assume Penny wasn´t and Alex was, but I don´t know. Regardless, I know this game tries to have a realistic approach when possible, but sometimes they have to go with porn logic.

As someone else said to you, I don´t think it would count but I doubt Cari will even risk it. We won´t see Penny/Dalia ever happening (or them with Nancy), which is sad for me because they´re hot. That´s the only gripe I have with it, them being related isn´t a kink in anyway for me.
I´m sort of hoping that Cari compensates by giving us a scene with more of the other girls together.

I think you're looking more at motivation, and I'm looking more at how they did it. Yeah, everyone wants MC--again not very realistic, but goes with the genre. We know Nova was attracted to him immediately (she was checking out the picture of MC in his underwear really carefully), but yeah, she was pretty much forced into the BJ, even though she later admits to herself that it was "kinda hot." I don't recall such direct evidence of Dalia's attraction to him (other than teasing about her lack of a gag reflex), but (1) she was willing to bet a BJ, and (2) allowed herself to be argued into it with a pretty thin argument. Luna, by the time we got to it, she just wanted to do it--she said as much, that she'd wanted to do (and would have done) it earlier if they hadn't been interrupted. So I agree with you that the motivation in each of these cases was realistic enough (granting the "everyone wants MC").

My point is that, once the BJ is happening, none of them look like it's their first (or even second, or third) BJ--and frankly, we probably don't want to see an average "first BJ."

Same with Rushed Break--sure, at some point, most virgins have sex and stop being virgins, and MC and Nova were plenty into each other (even if MC needed Nancy to literally knock some sense into him). But they don't do it like that. And again, we probably don't really want to see two virgins having sex for the first time, because it's likely to be fumbling, awkward, and not especially sexy.

So while yes, the motivation for the sex acts is generally realistic, the sex acts themselves generally aren't. I guess the "threesome for Nova" question kind of straddles this fence.

This isn't a criticism, because the whole game is a fantasy. Especially the part about being surrounded by beautiful women who just can't wait to get into your pants (they may or may not be or fall in love with you (which I'd prefer), but they definitely want you). The wild, athletic, acrobatic sex is just another aspect of it.

It isn't stated as of the end of 0.7 (again, I haven't seen most of 0.8 yet), but I've heard some pretty passionate argument that there's no way a virgin would engage in Christened Apartment. But if that argument's valid, then there's no way Nova was a virgin either going into Rushed Break--and we know she was.

I'm now leaning toward Alex not having been a virgin based on this:

...and what followed. It's not conclusive, of course, but (assuming she isn't just talking out her ass) it suggests similar past experience--where she's deliberately trying (and succeeding) to tease men, to at least make them nervous. That, of course, wouldn't mean she'd had sex with them, but I think it points in that direction.

Penny, I don't know one way or the other. Beautiful and popular (and nice, so therefore likely approachable), she surely would have had plenty of offers, but no serious boyfriends, and doesn't seem like she'd be up for just a hookup. So I think my guess would be "virgin," but not with any conviction.

The game asks you if you want to activate pregnancy at the start, exactly like Eternum....
