I find that to be entirely unreasonable, each AVN has its strengths and weaknesses, goals and plans. They each strive to do different things. For example, Divine Dawn and Genex Love, they're both very different styles of games to Eternum. They set out to do completely different things, I don't play AVN's to play an RPG, I don't play them to customize characters. I play them for a good story, and well written attractive characters. That's effectively all I look for. I find Eternum, for what I'm looking for, does that best. Now you may not personally enjoy that as much, and I understand the point behind plot not having many meaningful choices. But how long do you suppose that would take one guy to do? Each update takes around 6 months as you've said, with Caribdis working tirelessly (I find it ridiculous that people judge AVN devs on how long each update takes, I've found some of your comments on that quite distasteful) but I digress on that front. Lets suppose Eternum had choices like that scattered about, that would add so much unnecessary time to the development cycle. The choice in Eternum is limited, yes. But it has to be for the level of quality that it is. Lets say Nova did reset, what needs to happen now? Well every time she shows up, or it's brought up, their now needs to be separate dialogue EVERY time that it's even mentioned, do you realize how ridiculous that would be to manage? Eternum has a good story because of what it does with the borrowed concept, and how it's portrayed, nobody is saying that the concept itself is unique. The worlds within the concept, the places you go, how it's presented, the characters within it. That is what gives Eternum a good story, a twist on a classic. I'm not going to continue this argument further, because I can immediately tell what kind of individual you are, and how that would go. "But then a lot of people ate tide pods too... " do you hear yourself? Do you realize how asinine this sounds? There are people who've played 100's of AVN's, and have done so for years, and they to this day make posts about how Eternum is still the best they've played. How do you rationalize this? Are they stupid for thinking Eternum was the best they've played?
