Depends what you want to know in particular. Generally, Mad, as the head writer, takes the role of the story event writer, while we all take a share in writing character events. Before we started working on Chapter 2, we all sat down and had a discussion on what we wanted to do with the new characters and where we wanted to take them. While writing the first chapter, we realised that we'd stumbled across a common theme in Laura, Jean and Rogue, almost by accident, that being trauma of some sort or another, and we decided to lean into it once we realised what we had. With Chapter 2, we worked out a character arc and an overarching theme from the beginning, and we're writing some of the character events with one eye on that.
Everyone haveing trauma and a dark background is kinda cliche at this point but I like how you handled it with these three so far.

It's part of quite a few of the xmen character's backstories.
Even outside of backstory, being on the fringe of a society that fears them and how characters deal with it is kind of the theme. Messes up some of their lives dealing with it.

X-Men in general aren't that well trusted even by other super hero teams. Avengers comes to mind of an example of supers who don't think that well of the xmen at times.

I didn't have anything particular in my mind so thanks for the general rundown. I know I'm repeating myself a bit but I'm still eager to see how the writing team is going to handle the upcoming mountains worth of writing and dialogue as the chapters come along, the Love Interests increase and the choices multiply.

Just don't forget the important bits like the various varieties of vexed vivacious vixens with vendettas viciously vying for Null's vigor and viewpoint; i.e. the catfights.

If you are a Marvel hero in general and don't have some traumatic back story, you are playing on easy mode and should be mocked appropriately.
:ROFLMAO:

Pffft. Thor. What a loser. "oH LokI aLwAys MessES WItH ME ANd soMEOnE TrIeD To eND me aS a bABY."
Yeah well they both failed. You're fine Thor. Backstory pretty smooth. And that's the problem.
:LOL:

Okay fellas listen up!

I created a form in regards to the quirk in platonical relationships, please fill it out.

Signed.

On a related note, Quirked-up Platonic Rogue can work as naughty yet innocent flirting between friends. i mean She's already going around calling everyone sugar and kissing to steal powers. Being extra flirty and with the one guy she can touch would make sense. Example, she'd be saying things like "are you gonna punish me daddy?" during training as friendly battle banter.

That's the thing: By "fixing" something that wasn't broken, the overall social simulation aspect of the game becomes weaker, which seems very counter intuitive to "attempting to achieve more natural and diverse reactions through natural combinations of generic and specific dialogue".

Big Sis Jean has become an icon over the past year. To my understanding of the situation thus far, Ron is gatekeeping that and the other girl's quirks behind romantic and sexual pursuits. And I get it: "it's a porn game" - I've seen that surface-level rationale several times over from people who don't show up very often - and I'm fully aware that the 'big sis lil bro' thing is meant to be sexual. But not not everyone wants all three, or all six when chapter 2 releases, and I really don't understand why 'big sis lil bro' now has to be exclusively sexual when it was enjoyable under platonic pretenses.

That said, seeing as how you're not a big fan of the current lineup and a playing the game more for sex simulation as opposed to Marvel visual novel and social simulation, this is less of a rant towards you specifically and more of an open letter to Ron, so we'll see if my disappointment along with others' will help Ron see the misstep.
I just thought Thirsty Jean was funny.

You have to defeat Chthon and banish him back to the Darkhold in order to impress her, that, or make sure that Magneto really, REALLY dislikes you.
Well, the second is pretty easy, just call him on his bullshit. As to the first, point out that you have Dr. Strange on speed dial for when you get done absorbing his life energy. Nothing annoys an elder god like being treated like a charger.

Wolverine: "New challenge: Whoever can have sex in the professor's office without getting spotted gets an A+ and can ride my motorcycle for a day."
Null: Challenge accepted.
Wolverine: You already have an "A" in my class.

Well I guess I will probably back once we actually get 1.0 if we get group sex and skipping 0.9 since I ain't replaying the game for that.
Unless you're bug testing, YOU DON'T NEED A NEW SAVE UNLESS THEY TELL YOU! Or does everyone assume a new version means you need a new save? They aren't doing spaghetti code in this game.

You have to understand the context, she was in the hellfire club.

They are rich, decadent mutants trying to get more power.
Wasn't the Hellfire club also a sex club for the elite and deeply sexist? I can't actually recall the lore right now, but the costumes do make sense in that context, and why Emma despises the club deep down.

Also, the fact that the outfits are a direct copy from a that was running at the time, which involved the protagonists infiltrating the Hellfire Club, which was a sex club for the very elite of society.

The woman's outfits are a direct copy of the outfit the female lead, which, funnily enough, she designed herself.

As the saying goes, one man's “she belongs in a psych ward” is another man's “she's all 'I've ever wanted.

Am I that man? My dating history would seem to indicate so.

It was a high-class 'gentlemen's club' when it first appeared, which, in the UK (Claremont having moved to the US from the UK), meant it was a member's-only club for wealthy and successful men where the only women allowed were cleaners and waitresses. Over the years, it turned into the modern-day version, which is basically a high-end stripclub. The original version is one of those very strange ideas which made perfect sense to the audience of a certain era, but these days, feels really weird and out of place. There probably was weird sex stuff going on behind the scenes, but, other than the members being a bunch of unscrupulous power-hungry assholes, it was a secondary purpose.

Fair enough. It is also immensely amusing to me that the Hellfire Club is based on that, especially with its modern interpretations in comics.

In any case, it'll be interesting to see how you guys interpret it as well as how much from Claremont's era will be transferred over.

Not going to lie, kinda hoping for the lingerie outfits to still be a thing.
