This probably have been discussed over-and-over but there (potential) plot-holes, imo. They say, people who die in Eternum, turn into NPCs. At least some of them. But also, there are people who die in Eternum and turn back as level 1 with no items left. Until now Eternum was believed to be a hyper-reality VR game and people who die in Eternum didn't die in real life. At least we have an example. That simp dude, whose I don't remember the name right now, smashed by an Ogre. Then he returned, but this time got killed by Maximo the GOAT. Then again, he got killed with the first bullet in battlefield. Calypso knows, how many times more he died like a moron.

So, if Eternum is not a game but another realm(s) that people can teleport into with neural implants, how the hell their physical bodies do not get harmed? If not, and that asshole bardot was lying, then how the hell Orion can physically change in real life? I hope the dev won't conclude it to some unscientific astral travel bullshit.
You'll probably be disappointed then because it is very much looking like it'll contain mystical, fantasy stuff. And it being fantasy doesn't make it a "plot hole". We know magic is real since Once in a Lifetime takes place in the same universe and that had all the shenanigans with Astaroth and shit. Calypso is literally and elf that uses Magic. Nothing sci-fi about her. The "game" only pretends to be so. We know by now that it is an alternate world/realm/whatever, tied to Earth and safely accessed by normal people, somehow, through the implants. The Praetorians are different, able to bypass that safety and kill people IRL IN the game too. It's not really a plot-hole at all. All of it is explained. I'm too lazy to look for the scenes and dialogue right no but explanations are given, somewhat, on what is going on. Not all of it. We still don't have all pieces of the puzzle but Bardot has no real reason to lie to us at that point either. Not about that topic at least. Bamboozling us into thinking "oooh~ it's not a game, it's ghosts and souls" really doesn't push any agenda in his favor since we were probably already working against the Founder anyway.

I didn't say fantasy means plot-hole or anything like that. I just questioned if he the VN rushed the story and left plot-holes. Because they didn't explain how inventory system works too. Where do people leave their items or how they come upon them. Who makes players wear default clothes?

Has anyone done a Solo Luna ? Do the scene of the vision with Annie still happen and does her reaction to the vision change if there is this scene ?

If you are not on Luna path she will wear cloves here.
If you are but not on Annie path, it seems she doesn't see anything lewd.

As update closes in, I am still hopeful that one of the scenes is a long Penny solo scene, with the full "I love you" confessions and of course anal(will be slightly letdown if no anal with Penny).

But I think one moment I would love added is the next day, Nancy and others are asking why she is sitting weird or not sitting at all, and she tries to make up an excuse. Could be a bit of a humorous scene. Maybe some even see through her lie and get them curious. :devilish:

I mean... does it really matter? Clothes and inventory aren't that huge a deal compared to "people die in game = they die in real life" lmao. Feels like too much of a nitpick. If I had to take a guess tho? Magic. Straight up. We know it's real. The neural implant could just be actualizing it and making a pocket dimension or some shit. I never really bothered thinking too deeply on it. This is just a random theory of mine lol.

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).

with the MC having a big dick, shouldn´t his thing be peeking out of that tiny swim speedo?
In-universe reason: Orion is a grower, not a shower. :Kappa:

Actual reason: HS2 dicks are not part of the male model and are actually detached. While there are mods that allow the junk size to be seen along with clothing, not a lot of clothing mods support it. So basically every HS2 male model is a Ken doll down under. :HideThePain:

It's not explained because we still don't know how Founder managed to do it. The inventory is under Ulysses control and tied to the users of the implant which is why Orion could only access the gems of doom and no clothes or other stuff when he used fast travel method. Also Dione and other weapons of Atlas are also above the control of Ulysses and are real because Idriel was involved in their making and exists outside of Ulysses inventory
