Tho realtalk, I like that Orion basically told the words straight instead of going for some poetic prose or shit. Like he told Dalia, he went through getting shot in an alleyway for him to realize that life is too short for him to have second thoughts, so might as well say the important things out loud now.


The crackpot theory being that the boxes floating in the login cinematic could be similar to the prison that Calypso is kept. And since the Lady in Black mentioned in 0.2 that the dead go back "to the same box," then the boxes in the login cinematic are actually floating prison-coffins, and where every dead person who are not being used by Ulysses as NPCs are kept.

Edit: Also to add: the login cinematic that we have now wasn't the original login cinematic back in 0.1 to 0.4. Originally it was a stock footage of Stargate's wormhole cinematic. Cari eventually changed it in 0.5, which got me thinking since he also made changes with Linus' NPC scrambler where it used to be a disc but then replaced it with a miniaturized model of Caly's prison.

Very very interesting, I wasn't aware of that change since I discovered Eternum after the cutscene had already been substituted. Kinda impossible to dismiss now, this idea of yours.

if i ever win the lotto im donating 10 million to the devs of this game. its damn near perfect so far. love harem, good story, nice pacing, visuals are very nice, animated scenes are done really well, the gameplay length is nice, sound effects are nice - not too loud or too quiet (some games that have sound have really bad audio where even on the lowest setting its super loud and when maxed out its not loud enough), like the balance with the girls except luna. she only has 2 explicit scenes while all the other girls have at least 3 some have 4. but the game isn't finished yet so i expect it will balance itself out more. my only regret is playing the game before its complete. not sure how long between updates but im nearly caught up to the current release and i expect ill have to wait at least 3 years before i can finish it. lets hope i remember to come back.

I know, I was just taking a piss out of it because it is funny that he said the exact same words to both. And straight to the point seems like the better option.

Oh, that´s some interesting association. I didn´t even noticed that the login changed, so much so that I don´t know what the login is now, if there is any. I really liked the wormhole, but to me those squares/cubes were just there for effect, you actually managed to come up with some meaning for them.
So the dead NPCs not being used are stored in those boxes, is that your guess? Could be. So everyone playing Eternum will be in those boxes when they die in real life, unless they´re used as an NPC. I wonder how they select people to be NPCs or not. Status? Money donated? Physical traits?

Well, players who die in real life and people who died after the closure of the Gates of Acheron, yes (which I believe is the reason why the dead are currently trapped in Eternum in the first place, as my current theory is that Eternum is some sort of Astral Plane where dreamers wander and those who have passed from the realms of the living go through to reach their respective afterlives beyond the gates. As to WHY they are closed...well, jury's still out on that one but I have a hunch that it has something to do with the untold continuation of Caly's tale and the reason why Idriel is chained in Limbo).

Is it just me?

every time it says "A while later" it sounds like the narrator from Sponge Bob Squarepants.

hahaha

Now I need to remember what the Gates of Acheron are.
So your theory is that a videogame actually became a highway to the afterlife? That´s pretty trippy.
Not saying you´re wrong, obviously, but a videogame turning out to be all this seems to surreal to me.

this was fun as a story until the 3 stooges talked so long in front of a weapon they wanted to get they where caught and Orion had to rush away from the nude women, like who does that.
