Ok here is my idea for a possible "Friendship" increase system between the girls. Just for giggles and bored . My brain was latching onto the idea waiting on renders at work. I doubt it's better then probably what they have planned. Probably way too complex for what it needs to be.
A Weighted option where it assigns values to the dynamics between the girls and also values for the activity you do.
Each tier is 100 points you need to grind. (not sure if that is too high or low. ) You start with 4 points for each activity you do.
So for example you have Laura, Rogue, and Jean. You get bonus point for each pairing that get along naturally. Personalities that get along and don't clash.
Laura & Rogue | 0.5 pts | Rogue & Laura | 0.5 pts | Jean & Rogue | 0 pts |
Laura & Jean | 0 pts | Rogue & Jean | 0 pts | Jean & Laura | 0 pts |
With this combination you would only get 1 bonus point for the dynamic of Laura and Rogue, none from anyone with Jean. Sorry Jean.
And then the activity points. For say Running the Danger room. Laura loves the Danger room, Rogue and Jean not so much
And in the end you are with 6 points because they don't mesh as well as a trio. and chose an activity only one of them likes. It will take you 17 activities to increase to the next tier.
But if say you get a trio who gets along with each other and choose an activity they all like, then you could get 10pts meaning you would only need to do the activity 10 times to reach the next tier.
Of course this kind of breaks down a bit just going with a duo as the max points you could get would be 7. Maybe give 3 bonus points for just a duo with it being easier to be more one on one with each other. Easier to hit max bonus points but only with 2 girls at a time versus 3.
Or say your dealing with Emma not getting along with anyone you could end up as low as 4 points. Needing 25 activities to reach the next tier. Then you might decide to work with her in a duo to get the duo bonus to mitigate the general unease everyone has with her.
You could also add a perk/trait (sorry forget what it is in game right now ) like "diplomat" that just gives you flat points of max 10 so it will only take you 10 activities to reach a new tier all the time.
I promise I'm done talking about this now that i got that off my brain.
