Trish probably scares him
I dunno about the boys but she scares the crap out of me! :D

But yeah, I think Mike hides from her tbh! (and doesn't blame him!)

This won't be a popular opinion, but I think they'd look cute together (on playthroughs where I'm not after her, of course!). This comes more from mainstream RPGs than adult games. When I have a sizeable band of companions I don't like when my character is the only one to get girls (or boys with female PC). It's extremely rare to see two companions pair up. :)
I could see them as a couple tbh. They have a lot in common. Shared interests, techy stuff, cheery disposition and of course they both have a wonderfully vacant expression :) But I'm not sure Sarah's that interested (suspects she's annoyed that Mike is further ahead in the VR game than she is!)

It's not bad to have options.:) Though I don't see my characters' heroic characters ever using it! Nuh-uh...surely they wouldn't...most definitely...I can't see that happening...at all.:sneaky:
It would be handy for intentionally losing for the ...sparring sessions.

Obvs neither of these gents are romance options for a male MC and, understandably, they probs haven't really been the focus of you guys attention. But, I'm curious, what do you think of them?

I'm partially asking from a writers perspective as obvs it's easier for me to write gals than boys, but also curious generally.
They're fine. Marcus comes off as a huge beta after the exchange with his wife, so It's a bit hard to take him seriously after that, but it works.
I'd also say there is more room for Mike to be more of a "bro", if you want to go down that road.
I'm not sure I'd like a "guys talking sports" scene, Marcus does not strike me as the sports enthusiast. It would seem way more likely they would talk about the new hot chicks. (If you wanted some "real" guy talk in there). If I was Mike I would feel like a kid suddenly fining himself in a candy store. Marcus seems to have some pent up frustrations too.
Mike tho...Not sure I approved of this sort of behaviour from him!
This is 100 % expected and natural. No guy with a working dick would let that opportunity slip. Everyone knows this. Nobody would think twice about it if they saw it happen.

No need to be concerned, I am sure she will love whatever penalties Sarah comes up with if she looses again... :devilish:

Yeah, it's not like they can talk shop, one is chemistry and the other is mechanical, and most of the projects are secret anyway. I doubt they have any games in common...
"Taunt" maybe?
You know, that is actually a good idea, not only would it work to get an easy loss in the sparring sessions, you could use it to pull anyone off of Sarah in a real fight if she gets swamped.

Well, Marcus is shady as fuck, and a hypocrite to boot. The guy wants us to take all sort of medication for seemingly no reason, but when my congenial blackmailer MC wants to genuinely help him with his project, he shuts himself in. It's interesting that he doesn't seem like an asshole, though, especially with such a tramp as a wife. I mean, when he asks for our opinion about Walker's research, as long as the MC doesn't berate him, he's okay with disagreement. I wouldn't like him as a friend, though, too many secrets, and not the funny kind.

Mike, now... Mike is a moron. Or is he? As RC-1138 Boss said, there's something shifty with the guy. He acts like he couldn't make cold water it we handed him a bowl of hot water and enough time, but isn't that what he would want us to think? I'm not saying he's Thea Lundgren, that joke has sailed, but he's suspicious as hell, especially regarding his character sheet. He would be someone's son that got this job via nepotism that I wouldn't be surprised (as a reward or a punishment). Also, I don't like how he looks at MY breakfast!

Hey, he got the lights working again!

Well, for a bit...
