If we did allow you to permanently friendzone girls I would have pushed for Storm and Wolverine to hook up.
I and the comic nerds would be on board with that, along with other canon relationships being formed if you as Null don't pursue a relationship with them. But, unfortunately, we all know how that would work in practice, all things considered:

"What the fuck?! I didn't date Rogue in chapter one, and now she's with Remy in chapter 3 and she won't leave Remy for me!

This game sucks ass!"

You know that actually brings up an interesting question.
Will there be differences in character romance progression if you start it later than if you start it earlier? For budget reasons I can't imagine it would, but Jean and Rogue seem pretty dated in terms of when it happens (i.e. before Jean becomes the Phoenix and before Rogue copies Captain Marvel's powers)

Yeah, i know what you mean, but i personally also would be okay with that, its kinda sad that if you dont date the girls, they pretty much get doomed to being friendzoned.
But then again, maybe that would open the door for Laura to end up with Julian, and i cant go through that again.

Julian, Zebra Daddy, Synch... the writers really love to give Laura the best options.

Care to explain what that relationship with Julian was like? My lore on X-23 is pretty much nonexistent.

Hes a cocky, arrogant dick, and was in Null's shoes but was found lacking, didnt give her the benefit of the doubt, ended up getting shanked for it, and Laura ended up having to go with a demon to save his sorry ass, leaving Laura even worse, he also ended up becoming a villain.

The plot requires the girls to trust Null. You don't need to date and/or fuck them to achieve that.

So the player will be forced to interact with all of the potential girls to a degree but won't force you into a relationship.

If you enter a relationship after their main plot is complete, then it's the girls will go "Oh I have feelings for my friend" instead of "This guy just helped me with my problem, I think I love him."

was in Null's shoes
I can neither confirm or deny Laura sneakily watching you in your sleep.

We know damned good and well she was, before she was invited into Null's bed.
This, we all know that if Null checked the outside of his window, he would find claw marks.
...And stealing our/Null's used underwear.
No, that would leave a trace, shes an assassin so she wouldnt do that.
Spreading her scent on his things though...

From my reading of it it wasn't a relationship so much as:

Julian was able to medivac a dying Laura to be healed at one point. She ended up getting a crush because of that and sort of stalked him for a while, quietly freaking out over having feelings for people.
Eventually she left the school and did her own thing. Then, when she came back, Julian was at his rock bottom and tried to pursue that old thread (even though I'm not sure he ever showed interest or even awareness previously) but Laura was capital O capital I Over It, and rejected him outright. He didn't take that well and sort of started stalking her in return, which was far less cute when he did it.

idk if there was anything beyond that, but I absolutely have holes in my knowledge of the timeline.

TLDR, we dont gotta worry about opening a door to Laura X Hellion, cuz laura closed that door herself.

So we're not friendzoned if we don't date from get go? like we can steal'em? coz that might merit it's own replay...

There's no stealing anyone from anyone, this game does not have love triangles nor will it ever have love triangles.
But yeah, if you turn them down at first, you can start dating them later on. Which you kinda have to do if you want to date multiple people.


Of course she did, shes a tough girl that doesn't take bullshit from anyone, but as a reader that was one hell of a trip to slog through.
True, I imagine it was much more bearable to read since I didn't have to wait weeks or months for the next issue to see it be resolved.
