Never abandoned Annie's route, always been full harem path. It's odd, maybe my save is bugged? I'm guessing at some point I loaded an older/newer save then loaded back to some other save or something, cause I have no idea what it could be.
I suggest it's you who haven't played it. If he's Immortal (which we're yet to see any proof of, mind you, so far all we've seen is pointing to him being powered by calypso in some way, that's it), all those deaths mean nothing. Literally.To your first "point", I'd suggest you haven't played the game. Literally, the MC almost dies for her multiple times, but yes: obviously he's "the ENEMY". I could see Calypso previously making that connection maybe, but if she still thought it as "all a long con", there's no way she'd have let herself get "sullied" by the MC in v0.9.0. It would be both "beneath" her and a serious lapse in judgement given his being "the ENEMY". What a silly contention. I feel like you need to reply this (at least the last two releases) to have any conception of what she might be thinking. Honestly, you seem to be taking past experiences with women and slapping them on Calypso. So sure, I won't put it past the realm of possibility that she could behave like that. Anything is possible, ofc. But there's literally no hint that she still suspects anything of the kind from the MC.
As for the 2nd paragraph, what part of "over time" do you not understand? I feel like your response was basically: "I NEED TO DISAGREE BECAUSE I NEED TO DISAGREE!" I find little to no coherence to your argument, TBH. Are you just posting knee-jerk reactions or something? Looking at your responses to others, you come across as pretty unreasonable. It feels like either someone agrees with you or you'll dismiss anything they say out of hand.
"I won't put it past the realm of possibility that she could behave like that." - she literally behaved exactly like that at the start of 0.8. I dunno where your eyes were.
"But there's literally no hint that she still suspects anything of the kind from the MC"- I didn't say still, I responded to your "IF".I know it's hard to comprehend the concept of changing one's mind in light of new evidence, but please try. Because it's usually what normal people do. If your best friend is discovered to be a cannibal tomorrow, are you still gonna hang out with him? Yeah, thought so. But you never know, right? Calypso just might go "yeah, he turned out to be the literal devil incarnate according to our history and beliefs, but nah, too much bother, not gonna focus on it". Cuz she's definitely so airheaded.
"what part of "over time" do you not understand?" - Okay, I'll spell it out, since apparently I'm talking to goldfish, who can't think more than 1 step ahead. In order for a change to appear there needs to be a cause. That POTENTIAL cause (because from what we've seen that alone is definitely not enough) so far has been MC being much more exceptional than what your average elf thinks humans are (humans, not elves, so there's still a reason to consider us a lower species). That's one person out of biliions. But let's imagine for a moment that some-fucking-how elves never heard of the idea "exception that proves the rule" and won't use it to justify changing nothing. Okay, now all you have to do is roll the dice on nat 20 a few thousand times in a row so that the asshole elves all die in the war - because that's surely what always happens in war instead of the opposite, lmao - and the rest have an overwhelming majority and even want to entertain the idea of changing the general perception of humans based on one individual in a realm ravaged by recent years or decades of kinslaying massacre. Because SURELY they have nothing better to do. And all this time there'll have to be a demonstrable reason kicking around for them to look at and think "maybe they're not so bad after all". This has a combined chance of winning a lottery twice in the same day. But hey, I'm just a contrarian, right?

I looked at it differently. I figured in that moment when Caly teleported them to Hyril'ar, as she was bound by diterium (or what ever it's called), that she somehow managed to tap into Orion's power as well giving her a boost, leaving them both drained and in both cases just needed time to recover. Could be wrong maybe we will find out who knows.
Then why did MCs powers not work at all until she woke up and started regaining her strength yet literally the next day after that we're back in business? He was all right all this time Calypso was taking a nap, he should've been restoring it.

recharging time... when he was practicing with the general he could only hold for 1 second at the start, after that he was able to hold it longer and longer as time went on. The metal that she was bound in was in theory suppose to stop ALL magic and she overpowered it and teleported to Hyril'ar. I just do not see her being able to do that one her own especially considering we find her power was diminished naturally by age and no sex. Which is why she always so tired when using her abilities repetitively.
Therefor, he desire to NOT being caged again and kept powerless, her natural magical strength, plus Orion's unique magic got them out. Now, Orion, having gotten his ass handed to him again by Thanatos, would have left him sore and slow since he is using his real body and not an avatar he had to replenish his physical stamina, mental stamina and magical stamina. Calypso waking up has not baring on Orion's recovery rate.

Counterpoint - unless I'm forgetting something, we have exactly zero evidence dimeritium (or however you spell it) doesn't block MCs powers as well. I remember him thinking about it when he was about to be shot by a dumeritium gun from a crazy priest during penny/luna adventure, but iirc it was never actually put to test. So we don't know. Plus by your own logic, after getting nearly killed by thanatos, MC was already out of juice. If he wasn't - he'd still be fighting. So he couldn't have been drained since there's nothing to drain.
Regarding "her power was diminished naturally by age and no sex" - we find out her control is diminished. The druid chick said so. Her power is still there, it's just that it requires more and more focus to be used to desired effect. Which is not an issue when you're just going nuclear on the general area.
The problem here is that we don't have any established rules on dimeritium. Does it block ALL magic? Or is it a certain type? What if it's an amount or power level per volume? Will it be enough to just add the thinnest coating onto steel manacles for it to work just the same as if they're made from it alone? Does it mean of you just throw a handful of dimeritium dust onto someone they can't use magic until they remove every single spec of that dust?
If its ability to block magic is proportional to its amount (I'm leaning towards it for now), I can see Calypso simply burning through it - I mean, she's literally the most powerful mage in known existence - even if it took her out for a while.

Log in or register now.
It's been a while since I've checked in on this game. I had played Once Upon A Lifetime to completion and was pleasantly surprised they were making something else. I haven't touched this game because I decided that I wanted to play it when it reaches "1.0" of sorts, or when it's done(give or take patches or added scenes after the fact). Will the game be considered done on the next update per say, or does it not work like that?
Thanks to whomever answers!

You son of a bitch... these end build cliffhangers are going to give me an ulcer... Still love this game though lol.
Any chance you'd be willing to send it to me too? I absolutely loved that song and had planned to find a renpy extractor in order to figure out what it was... but if you've already got it extracted, I'd sure be appreciative if you could share it with me!
I tried to PM you but wasn't able to do so!

Nah in order for 600k people to die overnight they have been using the damaged exit portals. Eternum is not completely filled with combat servers where 600k people die and respawn every night. The live news said that the game was malfunctioning and no matter what nobody should forcibly disconnect anyone playing inorder to "save" them from the corrupted game

So far in normal circumstances if the player gets excommunicated from the game then they will also die irl and an astral version or a projection or possibly even their soul(don't know which because Wyatt was still able to retain his memories... So maybe it's the soul) gets trapped in Eternum and they turn into NPCs. But since the malfunction caused by the Syndicate or whoever we don't know if all the people that died(600k and counting) actually got turned into NPCs or not since they weren't excommunicated.

Also it's said that anyone using unauthorized exit portals also dies which means people who normally tried to exit using the portals didn't probably know that the exit portals they were using might have been faulty. So far we haven't seen any decoy or "unauthorized" exit portals so those might have appeared as a result of the malfunction

There's also a small bug in the game where if we don't click the Camera at the right time when it focuses on Luna the background melody from that scene just continues to play throughout the sex scenes and the breaking news until the very end of the chapter
so by that statement right there the game will done by 2029 jesus christ in this time and age most of us wont live that long with how things are going

The news report says "players who die within the simulation, or forcibly disconnect without using an authorized exit portal".
It doesn't mention anyone dying from using an official exit portal, or that there are damaged portals. It also doesn't mention the existence of "unauthorized" exit portals, though I can see how that might be inferred. To me, "authorized exit portal" sounds like typical legal phrasing that does not imply there are unauthorized exit portals. Who would have created these unauthorized exit portals? For what purpose? It's clearly intended to be saying "exit portals are the official way to leave the simulation, any method other than a portal puts you at risk" in order to minimise liability.
Are there enough players in combat or other risky situations such that 600k could die overnight? According to the Eternum wiki, up to 50 million people may be playing at any one time (out of over 420 million total—Orion is player 421,200,234). 600k is 1.2% of 50 million. This doesn't account for people logging on and off, so depending on how long it took for the danger to become known, more than 50 million may have logged on. It's easily believable that many players could die in a single day, based on the servers we have seen, especially if the Xenomorphs are spreading. It's also possible Ulysses themselves, or the Syndicate, caused an event that escalated the number of in world deaths beyond what is usual.
Forcibly disconnecting someone from the outside has always been dangerous, though usually not fatal, so I don't know that many people would be doing that. Idriel mentions when Orion first connects that logging off without using an exit portal is possible, but is treated the same as dying in Eternum. Exactly how one would log off without a portal isn't clear. It does not sound like the same thing as external disconnection, since this is known to be unsafe, and that seems like something she would have mentioned.
Now, Ulysses could be lying. Maybe people are dying who leave through the portals. But we don't know that from the available information.
