I keep getting this error when I try to run it on my mac. Anybody have any suggestions?

```
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

*Artistic Nulls can tell Rogue the art they got the scholarship for. I chose music.

Any chance of getting similar options for the other backgrounds? Such as explaining to Laura what your athletic scholarship was, or what your major was to Jean?

 

[ShinyBoots1993]

Are there trios?

That'd make our budget cry if you want it animated in any way.

Not saying no, but jeez. It'd be expensive and take awhile.

The odds that a polycule would be made up of exactly one person of a specific gender and the rest of the other are pretty good when it's three people, but when it's like, a dozen, things get a little more unlikely. But whatever, I guess it's a concession to porn logic.

This is probably one of like 2, maybe 3 things we will sadly have to concede to porn logic.

Maybe the rest of the X-Men have setups just as crazy in their own romantic lives in this universe. Except Kurt, who's a good Christian boy.

100% possible. Do I need to remind you about the time Beast had a foot fetish cult start because he took his shoe off?

Still the most unbelievable expectation, women being friends and approving of eachother, absolute fiction

I'm ashamed of laughing at this but I can't think of a single woman I know who'd disagree.

I just suggested this be a thing the other day. So it's at least a talking point.

 

[Scottish]

You're okay with the girls sleeping around?

It's why we made it polyamory to begin with. There was nothing logically stopping them from sleeping around. People argued Null having a magic dick or pheromones but nah. The girls like Null because he's a supportive and compatible* partner. No other reason.

*If you don't like a girl's behavior, then don't date her. (This is primarily directed at all the people demanding a sub Laura)

Dude, if I can sleep with other women, so can they. Just like if they can sleep with other men, I can sleep with other women. There's a couple forms of poly relationships, this is a polygynous polycule. Which is a LOT of effort, especially if you're a touch oblivious.

This reminded me of keeping Big Sis Jean on a platonic path:

Yeah. Kinda why I broke down and hooked up with her after trying the platonic route. That girl needed the D, badly.

I will call bullshit on this, while admitting it's damned rare. Something about being taught everyone is either competition, an enemy or a monster.

Yea, put 3 girls in a room together that's fucking the same guy, then wait for the cat fight...hogwash

Put 3 "modern feminists" in a room, and wait for the catfight. No sexual tension needed.

Scene which will probably never make it into the game:

Logan finds out Null's fucking his daughter, and goes to have a "chat" with him, only to have Null point out Laura's standing right behind him.

That would have to lead to a "bad end", for a certain X-Men.

Unlikely =/= Impossible.
It happens in real-life too, just in extreme rarity. Case & Point,

And as for the Kurt part, if he's even a hair more sexually liberal than he is in the comics, that dude will do nothing BUT raw dog it: Guaranteed or your money back!

Also, as others have also already pointed out, we've only got 3 girls to work with at the moment. Seeing how the difficulty will spike towards a "full-set run" as more get added will only be seen with time, but the devs have already strongly implied it's gonna get way harder before it gets any easier - and we already see people fumbling the sampler bag as it is.
I also respect their choice to keep away from the being-cheated-on angle since it'll cause nothing by headache in here. I'm not a fan of that sort of content either, but some people go WILD if there's even a whiff of the idea around (both for and against it). At the end of the day, the story is still a sort of power fantasy within the setting, so it makes sense that things would lean towards being in Null's favor (at least romantically). I wouldn't mind the slight touch of added realism with a girl or two, but I'm also perfectly happy to not even have to worry about it.

Couldnt he just smell her from miles away?

That would have to lead to a "bad end", for a certain X-Men.

Nah, them fighting it off is part of their usual bonding time.


Her papa usually lets her lash out until she catches the feels and cries it off, this has happened several times.

That does not mean the next little bit won't suck for Logan.

Well he can tank it better than little claws, she doesnt have the nice indestructible skeleton.

Well, this reminds me that I've been out of the loop for quite a spell. Haven't read a comic since the late 80s. When I saw this game, I had to try it. And immediately fell in love with Laura and her story.

She legitimately is, horny aside, shes a great character whenever she shows up, be it in the cartoons, the comics, or the movies, people like her, hell, i even mained her in marvel vs capcom 3 together with Wesker and Dante when i was a kid.

Let's not forget the idiocy of NYX, where they decided being raised as a child assassin wasn't tragic enough, and they decided to make things worse. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad that non Earth-69 canon.

EDIT: Though still amazed she's the least fucked-up of the kids that were actively hidden from Logan.

This has been repeated multiple times in this thread, fuck John Quesada, that wasnt part of her story and he added it just to be an edgy asshole.

I will not say Quesada was the worst. Maybe a bit of an edgelord at times, but not the worst.

I cannot fathom why he woud grab a child character, that came from a cartoon for children, was popular with the children, and decided "You know what? fuck it, literally." when porting her into the comics.

That almost sounds like an act of desperation.
