Implying that people in Eternum wouldn't be able to access Earth_01 by the end of the game, that would depend on the choosen one :unsure:

A plane of existence that, as of now, is locked in some sort of stasis where the dead cannot move on as the gate to the afterlife is closed...all because a certain someone refuses to die.

Maybe Eternum is a Nexus between different dimensions and people that die only switch the dimension? But someone is now trapping them in the Nexus to use them as essentially slaves/NPCs. :unsure:

Eternum being another name for the Astral Plane (or the Caribdiverse version of it) doesn't refute the Nexus idea considering that some texts (and even D&D lore) mention it is a pathway to other planes or realms (which suspiciously sounds like servers or the "heavens" that Luna's grandaunt mentioned to Luna's grandmother). So in a way, the Astral Plane IS a Nexus of sorts.

As for the dead, well, part of the theory is that they can't really move on because the door to the afterlife is closed thanks to someone likely not wanting to pass on into the great beyond. Said someone is now using the dead to help with the gem hunt, which is likely what keeps the door closed and a certain someone chained to her place (or maybe her being chained IS what's keeping the door closed...well, assuming that she is indeed Anima or an incarnation of her that might as well be the case)

Thats the thing when you have 7 LIs. This is basically the number which is still ok, but if it turns into more, it just leads to some LIs not getting enough action. Especially when they are unpopular (which is the case for Penny, at least according to the votes on the screenshot which was going around a few days ago).

And IMO, Penny is currently the weakest. She does not have much what makes her stand-out compared to others, other than being pretty with big boobs. But again, she did not have much content lately, so no wonder she comes off a bit bland.

This is the reason I kinda dislike the poll and when people refer to it; it's soooo easy to draw bad conclusions from it.

The truth is that Caribdis has created 7 LI's who are all liked by nearly everyone, which is a rare feat in this business. I would bet that if you made a poll on any of the LI's with the simple question "Do you like character X, yes or no?", or alternatively "Are you happy with the inclusion of character X in the story, yes or no?", every girl would have 85%+ answers yes. Claiming that any of the LI's is unpopular is wild.

I dont claim it. It is my opinion. Thats why I said "IMO" (in my opinion). Because Penny is currently the least developed character, she does not really have anything going for her except for being a somewhat popular model and having big boobs. The other LIs are currently more fleshed out, even if some of them did not really have much content. (E.g. Lunas character is more unique than Pennys, even if Luna also did not have that much content yet)

Obviously, on their own, every LI is good. They are likeable characters. But if you compare them, you will see the difference. And this is why some people have a favorite and others have a different favorite.

You're right... But when anyone see Penny the first time, nobody would say that she's underdeveloped... :LOL:

I mean no one should take that poll to serious and in the end the answer with by far the most votes was "harem" anyway, as it should be.

The truth is that I feel both Dalia and especially Penny simply hadn't much time to shine so far. Dalia had her competition which was nice, but not too special and Penny had that touching memory and the Halloween party where she was gone for a long time, so we could've awesome and funny scenes with Nova instead. Penny got mostly outshined in what originally seemed like it would be mainly her scene.

Both lack a niche they can call their own, in my opinion. Yes, Dalia is the sporty one but that only really shows with her having slightly more defined abs than any of the other girls. Her big conflict is that she is only the 2nd best woman in sports in the city...damn, what a serious problem to have... :HideThePain:

Penny on the other hand is supposed to look a bit more like a blonde bimbo but is actually pretty smart. But that only comes through here and there and in the big boob department her mother is right there with her anyway, also bringing the red hair and the potential milf appeal into the mix. Her internal problem is that her good looks kinda outshine her intelligence and that people are very superficial in regards to her. And again: "I'm looking too good!" is another serious problem, a lot of people can very much relate to... :HideThePain:

So ultimately it isn't too much of a surprise to me that those two are probably the least favorite LIs in the game so far, because they both are comparatively boring to begin with AND they haven't been to fleshed out either. At least as of now neither of the two really had stand out scenes as far as I remember, with the exception of Penny's memory I would say.

And no, I don't think either of them is unpopular that would mean that people actively don't like them and rather would them see gone from the story. I think that most players don't care as much about the two as they do about the others like Luna, Alex, Annie or Nova mainly.
