That's why I put it like "normal".
It's just that with how mutants can potentially be and do just about anything, ending up as "guy who punches" is just like, damn.
Also could you answer this question please?
Um, I'm pretty sure I already did. It's controlling the drain that's exhausting.

Well, to make it short and not stretch an argument where both of us already know eachother's opinion, I simply don't find it convincing. I might be into the idea of the girls being kinkier, but I know the game isn't going that route and I'm not poking at it for it.Okay I'm back from spending the weekend with some friends and now I'm suffering holiday depression time to get back to work.
cracks knuckles
I listed someone from the exact setting we're using. If you think they're normal humans, especially Dare Devil, then you should probably reread the comics or hell, watch the TV shows/movies.
We got someone who speaks several languages from territories of the former USSR on board but we do welcome corrections if they slip through the cracks.
Yes. I'm saying it now. If it's something that requires art to be made, the reason it's not in the game is because of our art budget priority.
Building off Evil's post. The girls and Nightcrawler give you borderline 4th wall breaking detailed instructions.
I'm making a general statement. People being unwilling to read is not a fault of the game.
There are hundreds of games on this website that are literally press button for sex. A lot of them are very good. If you don't want to pay the fuck attention, don't play our game. We've already hit Ubisoft levels of handholding. It is legitimately impossible for us to give clearer instructions. For the love of god just fucking read what Kurt and the girls tell you because they are giving explicit instructions on how to progress.
There are three other X-Men games in active development that have that as the point of their game. Play them instead of demanding we meet your specific desires.
I'll preface that this response lacks the aggression of the ones I've made above.
We've had this argument levied at us for about 2 years. Our game has yet to fall apart and development has continued.
If people don't read the tags then that's on them.
You're free to mod and we encourage you to mod. We'll even advertise it for you. Kirby, the guy who made the trainer mod, was welcomed with open arms and I've directed people to his mod.
However, we have literal hundreds of players who enjoy the current experience. We tweak things as needed but we have an audience and we're catering to the audience who wants the game that we're making.
By this point whether our game is considered too grindy is 100% subjective. We've had just as many people tell us it's fine as we've had people who have complained.
We're making a game for an audience that has contributed greatly and we are unwilling to change what they like about our game to cater to mass appeal.
As I've inferred more than once. We are actively avoiding the "please everyone" approach to game design. Despite how it sounds at face value, pushing people away from your game is not a bad thing. It just means it's not their thing. People won't play horror games if they don't like horror. People won't play RPGs if they don't like RPGs. People won't play our game if they don't want a relationship/life sim game set in the X-Men universe.
The presentation is pretty obvious. You get a girl. If you don't earn her trust and consent she gets upset and refuses to talk to you for an extended period of time. It's rather in your face in how cheating will punish you and going through the process of creating a polycule will reward you.
We've said since day one that we wanted more depth than what RLE had going on with its jealousy system. The "earlier version" you speak of was an alpha. A more complex polyamory experience has always been something we planned, we just didn't have a concrete idea until we added the current system.
General reminder we are in active development. Things can and will change.
An example of how the grind of the game is subjective and someone acknowledging that they are aware that the game is in active development.
We've held polls on discord. People have successfully polyculeed all characters in less than an hour of play time.
Dude, if I say we're going off what the comics did that is in no way artistic license.
I'm just gonna pull out the "we're in active development" card. I'm personally in favor of some translucent tops with maybe some pasties or tape to make it extra risqué.
It seems that way. Luckily we have people who have memorized my responses to common questions and others who speculate accurately.
Dude, how many times do we have to explain to you that just because the America Earth-69 is less stigmatized against sex that doesn't mean modesty and personal comfort went the way of the dinosaur. This is what? The fifth time with YOU specifically?
The girls are willing to experiment more with anal and deep throating. They're quick to use birth control that can fight off healing factors which was developed because it didn't face as strong opposition as birth control in the real world did, they'll change their pubic hair and dress skimpily because they know you think it's hot*, they're willing to walk around with a vibrator inside them. They're open to the idea of sharing you. All they ask for that is you have them involved in the process.
You may drop a line like "without the people involved being degenerate sluts." but every time this topic comes up your argument boils down to you wanting that exact thing.
I'm frankly done with this argument because you're either unwilling or incapable of differentiating a world where people are more accepting of sex and a world running on porn logic.
*Again a message to everyone else, we're still actively working on the shame system.
I wish more people put in the effort you did. We're not just saying buzzwords or being pedantic.
A pubic style expansion is possible but I hope you understand it wouldn't be the highest on the priority list.
You can. No promise on when we'll get around to it though.
Correction. Two characters are confirmed to have subby paths. Whether there's a dom or if the two mentioned will be exclusively sub is not confirmed. I only mentioned it because I wanted to assure that people unhappy with how dom Laura and Jean are that there will be waifus that won't choke them out during sex.
I need to clarify that the BDSM system is not even remotely close on being a thing any time soon. The devs have asked me to stop talking about it for the same reason I was asked to stop thirsting over male characters. I've accidentally had people think it's coming sooner than it actually will.
As someone with a degree in clinical psychology, I can confirm that they in fact can be.
Orgasms help with depression, anxiety, muscle tension, insomnia, and low blood pressure.
Though I must clarify that it won't help everyone and becoming a gooner is not a proper replacement for therapy and medication when it comes to serious mental issues.
I am in no way promising, confirming, or implying that Emma will be romancable or fully fuckable during chapter 2. But... As she is the primary antagonist of chapter 2. If you disregard Mastermind's part in bringing out dark phoenix and that Selene will not be front and center because of our rules. The possibility of Emma and Null having a flirty, potentially sexually charged, back and forth is something that may happen as she does use her sexuality to toy with those that catch her eye.
Please pay attention to the big, bolded, and underlined text. If anyone takes this as a way to mislead others in the same way that people kept on saying 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, or 1.0 was chapter 2 this will be the last time I hint at future content
The other half or so of my comment you didn't say nothing about, so I guess you agree the game is more of "closed doors" type of thing where the sex is kept separate from the other stuff. And with that said, I simply wanted to tell the guy my view on the way that is handled, not to you again. You might feel obliged to read all comments and reply to almost everything that is said, but I wasn't addressing you there, so no need to go all fed up just for that.
Does dating X23 comes after you progress the story? I just became her first friend and sent her to talk to Rogue about relationship stuff...

You're on your way. She vents to Anna Marie a few times before you get a chance to ask her out.
So should I advance the story or not? I didn't go to three dates with Rogue or Jean yet, when do you ask about the Poly stuff? (I got enough Love/Trust with rogue according to the Journal)
And thanks.
Just to note: I've agreed to Date Jean but I haven't gone into an actual date with her yet, was that a mistake? should I have just denied her till Rogue was ok with it?

Well, that depends. Advancing the story doesn't affect your potential relationships one way or another so far as I can tell.
You ask about poly stuff under "Talk about your relationship" option when talking to a woman. I'd recommend talking to any current girlfriend before flirting/dating a new one. Things get messy otherwise. Note I wrote girlfriend. You can date around before committing to a relationship.

So even if I'm dating Rogue(gone to 2/3 dates) it's still not considered an official relationship? gone to 0/3 with Jean(and didn't get into the dating part with X23), so if I understand correctly, things should be fine as long as I focus on her(Rogue) till she agrees on Poly stuff?

3 dates are the pre-requisite for entering a relationship.
Can you be more specific?
You know what? Fair and valid.
Don't take my Dare Devil or Nightwing thing as confirmation of what Null will end up being.
All I did was outline the timeline. Null's character arc and eventual skills and abilities are still up for development.
Sorry. Was doing a lot of catch up. I saw someone respond accurately.
The power was draining Null as well. Slowly killing him. This is why Laura was coming in and offering some of her regen. It had just developed so it's under control now. Having new powers usually comes with complications the first few times.
You know what? This response is civil and I apologize for being heated.
I think we can simply agree to disagree when it comes to the interpretation.
If I misread your tone in our responses to each other then I apologize for that as well.
Yes. All X-Gals are on the table unless stated otherwise.
I read every comment. If I don't respond it's usually for the following reasons:
1. Someone else answered the question.
2. The comment is hostile and not worth engaging with.
3. Someone asks a question that is answered one or two posts above them, often on the same page.
I'll also state that my snark 9/10 times is expressed with love. I do get frustrated with particularly hostile or combative individuals though.

They want to know if we can have a jam sesh with the kickass electric guitar setup rogue gives us.
forget the X-men, we're forming a band and going on tour.
I dunno, have a "Practice Guitar" button in your room or something. I don't mean a full-on minigame, or anything like that, just something that kind of leans into the Artistic character being able to do something other than go to classes, training or just hooking up. Hell, maybe a "Serenade Girls" button when you're in the room.
Maybe that, too. Especially with Dazzler coming. Minus the band. Outside of the fanfic I am now writing in my head.

Dang, if with Rogue's gift Null becomes Dazzler's guitarrist, the i wonder if with Laura's you both hijack Logan's bike and have hijinks like pic related.
