VN Ren'Py Eternum [v0.9.4] [Caribdis]

GENERAL ARANNIS THE GOAT

yeah same, to me it felt that the update was short because the hyrilar arc was so much longer than the others

The update itself was actually longer than the previous but the first half at Hyril'ar had to be taken that long for the build up and fountain to establish Eleven world and the crisis that follows after Sylax coup. It might feel shorter because we didn't spend that much time in the real world. There wasn't much story development in the real world after our return but Cari managed to squeeze 3 sex scenes because Caribdis has now an obligation to include 4 lewd scenes in each update. It's like a routine. But the content and the development we got in Hyril'ar makes up for it not to mention we now have Calypso in the Harem which is a milestone

GENERAL ARANNIS THE GOAT

Honesty thought he was a prick until I saw him hesitating the order to hang us and afterwards when he came back to apologize

 

[Takkatakka]

Imho,it was the worst one. Not enough of foreplay and fucking in a sus sex basement be like in an abandoned building

And yet it is weirdly fitting as well. Also the idea is basically that they so in love they just stop caring where they are. I guess one could've made a scene in the train out of it as well.

Honestly what left me a bit disappointed was the time skip after the scene.

Nah Dalia was able to bring her clothes from Eternum when they ported back to Kredon after the Valley of Kings event. Plus Orion was wearing his VotK outfit when he went to Ekabar and then Hyril'ar. So materials such as that could prolly manifest but not other items like the Gems of Doom and the Weapons of Atlas.

There's also a possibility that Dalia maintained the same clothes from the server because she fast travelled with MCs powers and if she logged in like usual then Ulysses will probably switch the clothes back to the outfit she logged in with

 

[someoneyouknow2452]

Ah that's true. So the servers in Eternum are also just like Hyril'ar but like Nova mentioned maybe Hyril'ar is another server but Idriel probably restricted and hid it away from everyone else including the players, Ulysses and Founder

The reason I think Hyril'ar is "real world" like earth is because the people living there are alive, not dead. Eternum seems to be a collection of realms/servers where the dead reside.

Obviously, a lot of thought went into this update.
my favorite part was quizzing us about lore calypso muttered 8 updates ago...aka 4+ years ago....
meanwhile...no recaps given in between chapters.
Even if one were to play this game in a single sitting, they would not remember these answers...

 

[cat games > /dev/null]

This gives credence to the theory that Eternum sits in between Earth and Hyril'ar and that both Earth and Hyril'ar are "real world" but you can't travel from one to the other on your own. Calypso can reach Eternum from her end and Orion can reach it from his end. They would both need help from the other to reach the other side.

Yes, i heard about that theory and i do agree with it. they've been in Hyril'ar but yet no clue how they'll end up together in the real world. It's less likely to be happen after MC claim the gem and freed everyone so Caly can join the harem trip in real world.

We've "seen" Idriel in Kredon - of course we were bleeding to death from a gunshot wound at the time...

Idriel is different from all others. i anticipated to reveal a bit more about her in this update since many people theorized that Idriel is connected to Anima and Hyril'ar but nothing much revealed yet.

I somehow guessed all the eleven trivia right but got ended because I was being too insolent/saying thing would would obviously piss the elves off early on.

That's what the back control is for. It's also not like there's anything you can say to make a huge difference.

I'm still on the boat that Eternum is also a collection of some of the other real worlds and Founder and Ulysses somehow managed to trap the souls of the NPCs

That's what the official walkthrough is for tho and it was posted at the same time as the update itself. Then there is the multi-mod too.
But a nerd like me didn't need them to get through the trial

Same I answered every question about Calypso right but got decapitated because I didn't lie. I chose different variations where I tried different answers like "we're friends" "I'm her servant" etc but if we didn't lie it was game over which also made me suspect that the Thorund guy was also plotting against Calypso

 

[e6mill]

We see her ears a couple times. They are not elf ears. My guess would be rather that she's of Y'liar's line since Caly says only those 2 lineages can plane travel and therefore, MC is also of that line. Idriel does tend to act like MC's mom - sometimes, but sometimes she seems to be doing someone else's bidding. She kinda explains this a bit in her BDSM dungeon Limbo...

Shazam is failing me. Anyone could ID the french song during the Christmas dinner? It's quite lovely.

Want to send it to my GF

Thanks!

It's probably either made specifically for the game or some song with very little renown cuz even the AI I trained to sniff out the songs came back with fuck all. But if you just want the song, unren the game files, it's in game/audio/0.9 folder, file called lovefrench2

I'm half and half on Thorund. He was the only one willing to give MC a shot, at least in the beginning. The other two didnt care what the answers were, Sylax being the obvious snake.

Strange. I didn't lie either and passed the trial. Did you attack Sylax before the trial by any chance? Or maybe it was the bird/cup thing. I "passed" that one on the first go.

If you are completely honest about every development that happened with her the elves will be upset because you are proclaiming to have defiled their sacred princess. You have to be vague and err on the side of caution. ...For instance, they wont believe you if you say anything that directly references Eternum.

We see her ears a couple times. They are not elf ears.

I mean Caly was able to hide hers so I fail to see why Idriel can't with hers (especially if it's something that the Founder ordered her to do).

Another possibility that I've been considering - given the hints of cycles and the confirmation of a precursor race in the form of The Ancients in the story - is that the Anima - Eldari - Y'liar story is an "echo" of past personages living predetermined lives that have happened before just as Calypso and Orion and The Founder seem to be an echo of such, and that the origin of said "echo" is Idriel who is an Ancient (or likely Psyche as the Syndicate call her) and whoever served the parts of the Eldari/Orion and Y'liar/The Founder in her story. So basically like a myth that has been adapted over and over through the cycles because of a preceding event that caused said cycles to become a natural thing, with Orion's story being the latest of said retelling (and possibly the last if he succeeds in breaking the cycle and finally move the universe forward).

From what my experiments yelded me, be polite, respectful, follow instructions, have a plan to kill everyone you meet, be the servant, cuz their dumb asses won't believe you're friends, be truthful aside from the question about how did you get here (basically don't tell them about eternum instead bullshit them about immortals), the bird thing is irrelevant and seems to be RNG, cuz I replayed the path that got me through without chop-chopping my head off many times and bird drank from either cup, didn't affect a thing.
