VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.8.6 Public] [Caribdis]

I really must be the only person who doesn't think Orion is too muscly. Probably because I've always been a fairly large person, and I've been weightlifting for 28 years now, so Orion doesn't look "roided" as many are stating. The supernatural effects in the game are quite obvious, so I have no qualms that clearly Orion is experiencing years of muscle growth in the span of months. It works narratively, and I simply view it as a Macguffin; something that needs no explanation as it fits the plot.

I agree. I don't think he's too muscly either. My only critique with his model would be his lack of symmetry in his arms. Like he's got some massive boulder shoulders with skinny little forearms. Other than that, everything about your post is pretty spot on to how I feel about him.

Exactly what I was thinking

Nah, he also looks fine to me. There's a certain level of physical progression that needs to be shown in game and I agree with you, it works narratively. It won't stop dissenting opinions from griping.

I don't have a problem with it, narrative-wise. It all makes sense in the internal logic of the game. I was only commenting purely on aesthetics and personally what I find hot. Not complaining about the game.

Inventory system is tied to the implant which Ulysses/The Founder controls as mentioned by William during his infodump back in 0.7, tho my crackpot theory is that a lot of the "systems" that are being used by the VRMMO (from materializing gear to the portal tech that the players use) are provided by Idriel, given that she's likely Anima (the Queen of the Elves Caly mentioned who's supposed to be a lot more powerful than her and thus could do a lot of godlike stuff).

What I'm

Wouldn´t mind it.
Seriously doubt it.


Understandable.
Other thing I just thought of: with the MC having a big dick, shouldn´t his thing be peeking out of that tiny swim speedo?

Holy fuck! I didn't notice that, since I usually don't look at male crotch...

I noticed it, because it looks like a female crotch and I look at female crotch.

Like he's got some massive boulder shoulders with skinny little forearms

Prolly a bit deliberate considering that bigger forearms tend to clip over clothing coz again, HS2 gonna HS2.

I'm a gym bro too and I've never, ever seen an actual natty standing (flexing or not) with such visible groovy external obliques plus a visible vein:



It's hard even for roiders, that's a Hadi Choopan grade abdominal area.

Also his shoulders, chest and arms, while possibly natty, are too bulky for his ripped abdominal area. It's like his upper part is from a body and his ripped abs are from another one, which is impossible without roids (bulky upper part and ripped abs), but the average roider has it without much effort thanks to test and clen.

I agree. I don't think he's too muscly either. My only critique with his model would be his lack of symmetry in his arms. Like he's got some massive boulder shoulders with skinny little forearms. Other than that, everything about your post is pretty spot on to how I feel about him.

He already has big forearms lol

What's big enough, Popeye forearms?

Makes sense

No, just tone down the shoulders a bit lol.

 

[guidedbyvoices]

No, just tone down the shoulders a bit lol.

Yeah his whole arms are too muscular for a 18 years old, his chest is excessive already but his arms are really unreal.

This is how I see these combinations:

• That upper part + those ripped abs = Impossible as natty
• That upper part = Possible but not at 18, more like from 25 on
• Those ripped abs = Impossible as a natty

Of course everything can be explained by MC's magic, all of this was about if it fits his in game profile.

 

[Darreau91]

I hope Orion goes back to his more natty look like in the first few chapters once we hit the Climax of the Eternum world status. His buff look is getting absurd. His big ass thighs were taking away from Dalia's glorious ass last update. It also takes away from Nancy's "mommy" role play when his biceps are bigger than her milkers.

Good luck trying to convince him to downgrade Orion lol.



Edit:

Also, he hinted in the same convo thread that current Orion might not be his final form (though IMO it's prolly just going to be a hair upgrade and not more body upgrades...but we'll see, I suppose).

It's all subjective, obviously, but Muscular MC is a definite turn off for me. Like the guys are never going to be a draw for me, but this one actively makes me want to play it less. It's not bad enough to turn me off the game completely, obviously, but he's kinda gross.

 

[Jonmanchu]

If anyone thinks Orions body as an 18 year old is possible as Natty is as Delusional as believing the Rock Dwayne Johnson is natty

 

[AVNplayer69]

Too many people are unnecessarily bothered over Orion being a bit too muscular. We already saw that coming at Luna's uncle's house. It's just a physical representation of how Orion is getting stronger everyday. He can use his powers of Super speed in Eternum with his real body, only a matter of time when he learns to use it in the real world. He has to be at least somewhat visibly strong for us to believe that he can hold himself against the likes of Thanatos.

It's not impossible irl, consistent workout over years and proper diet will achieve a similar result, just look at 'Sean Nalewanyj' when he was like 16 as an example.
But then again we are talking about a video game which involves fantasy, magic and superpowers....Orion is not a "normal 18yr" guy. Him being this muscular is just a positive side effect of being the mc in Eternum
