So you want him dumber and completely broke so we can grind more?
I don't like tedious grinding for assets and influence.
No. I said nothing of that kind. You are confusing GAMEPLAY with STORY. You can have a story with, say Thanos having the Infinity Gauntlet and the gameplay would still force you to grind. YOu could have a story of a noname on the streets and no grind at all.
These two things do not have to corelate. There would be ways about how to handle that "rise" story without too much excessive grind. In fact, starting lower would probably allow the character to need less money at the start, as opposed to Lex, who already is a, currently strapped, big player. The needs might then scale with the position of t he player, so once you become a major player, then you need to haul more stuff.
yeah, but that don't give him free pussy, he still has to grind for it.
tala and roulette won't fuck him until he invests in their operations.
again, I assume you want more grinding.
His Lex tech is old or not working, that's why player needs to grind for money to pay villains to get pieces to fix or enhance his tech. how is that diffderent from starting from scratch?
never seen people complain about that. The complaints about this game are of a different kind.
It is different, because Lex himself doesn't actually have any direct issues. HIs issue always only boils down to "money". Otherwise he can fix all the stuff himself. With a lower level character, you can actually have the MC struggle with finding solutions, even having to get some of the stuff himself. Instead of "send villain on heist, hope it works out and hope you get the thing you need!" It could actually be part of the story how you have to do some things yourself before you get to hire (good) goons.
Tala and Roulette are also the exceptions, not the rule. And in another game, especially with an OC MC, there might be a little bit more focus on interaction with the girls, instead of just moving through the scenes. Which, again, isn't necessarily grind, but can be actual development. Just because the character gets the ability to put heroes into his grasp doesn't mean that they immediately spread their legs.
That might be grind, but it doesn't have to be the bad kind of grind. It might allow some MINOR elements from stuff like Rogue Like.
There is also another case of Gameplay and Story segregation at work: Lex has to make money with his ilicit businesses even after regaining control of Lex Corp.
And again, it could (and probably would) be different versions of grind.
i know these devs, they said they don't want multiple option dialogues. Too much work.(and I agree with them.)
I've nothing against your idea, but let's be reasonable, marvel universe is filled with chicks, you will never get around to fucking them if you want choices in how you play your character.
Freedom of how the character acts does not necessitate choices in the dialogues. It means that they aren't restricted by "How would Lex act?" or "How would Doom/Killgrave/Kingpin act". Having the potential of minor branching in how the character interacts with others and how the relationship with the heroines turns out
this game has lex offering heroines for low-level villains to fuck.(for money, cause he ain't a cuck)
i'm positive same can be done with a marvel game where random thug can be offered access to she-hulk's or black widow's pussy.
Which, again, has little to do with the basic story of the game, and iirc the brothel, while the finishing of characters is wanted, is one that is not rarely asked about "do we have to do that?"
