True. This game isnt on earth-616 so the devs can take a few liberties from multiverse hand-waving in order to circumvent those difficulties... just have her being half British/Japanese in earth-69 to avoid the whole plot if they feel it would weird out some people.
I'd just like to point out that the original storyline where Psylocke becomes Asian didn't involve any body-stealing. That's a retcon which came a few years after from a writer who hadn't properly read the comic where it happened. Originally, Betsy (and the rest of the X-Men) go through the Siege Perilous and her own actual body is physically changed to look Asian. It's still a weird racial scenario, but nowhere near as bad and messy as the retcon that she ended up stealing someone else's body.As for psylock, the writers have expressed doubts as to whether they'd be able to depict her well, in a way that doesn't make one group or another angry.
There's been some discussion on the discord about what to do but nothing is confirmed or set in stone yet. While they could use the multiverse as a way to hand wave Betsy and Kwannon, they probably won't as it doesn't really address a difficult issue for Psylocke.
There are pretty straight forwards tips and hints in the in-game Journal.
What if they just didn't acknowledge it? I know it sounds like a cop-out but, when I first saw Psylocke/read a comic with her in it, I had no idea she was Asian even though I'm Asian myself. It's like "She uses martial arts!", yeah, like a dozen and one other marvel characters including Electra. "She LOOKS Asian." Yeah, not to an actual Asian. Her hair is purple. Her eye shape don't look different from, like Gambit or wolverine in some shots. To me, it looks like someone draw any other thin, athletic woman character (of which there are many in Marvel comics) and put long purple hair on her.
I'm not saying change how she looks. Just have her look like that but say she's not Asian.
The only thing offensive about psylocke is that her ass is never big enough outside of the comics.
While I understand the intention by the developers on how they would like to present the relationships in the game, they will clash with how the vast majority of AVN games have progressed as well as how "many" players wish to play the game. Players come in expecting certain things with the way the game is presented and then feel like a rug pulled from under them if it's not the case. What you wish for your game can sometimes fall apart once put into the hands of players.
It's all about how the game is presented to you. Currently the game has 3 love interests, they can all be romanced at the same time, if that changes later on with more girls being added then the initial presentation on what the game is about is wrong. If that is not what the game is about then the 3 girls at the beginning of the game should not be romanceable at the same time as that is what the player will base the rest of the game off of.
There has not been EXPLICIT mention of Magik being added as of yet, no.
agreed which is why I don't understand why the talk about not being able to romance all the girls came from.
Oh that's not what I was arguing at all. The polycule aint going nowhere, even if they've said some characters wont get along, and others will take more to convince.
