The dev teams knows what they are doing and so far they haven't let the fans down and replayability should be looked at as a good thing and although i understand the pov of players who want all of the content in a single playthrough but i can never see that happening in a game of this size and scope

Lesbian. Not gonna be an option for male Nulls.

Right, fucking hell how did I forget that.

Even reading over a hundred different comic issues and I still apparently know fuck all about comics.

Fixing my mistake.

 

[Hazeti]

I'm happy you're happy.

You should know by now that i am very happy with the current state of the game and the direction you guys are taking it in and despite what some people feel to be a long dev cycle for each update it honestly doesn't feel like it , 2 - 3 months gap between each update and sometimes even less is more than enough in my eyes since it brings in more quality and polish

I just hope once chapter 1 is done we can go back to the story at full force once more

 

[drunkenrioter]

No, youre just selfish.
Im all in for people getting their polycule hijinks because to each their own, youre here arguing that people shouldnt get anything for not going along with that, so no, fuck off, like it was said before, you cant have your cake and eat it too.

That's genuinely disappointing; disagreement aside, you generally seem like a cool dude. I'd prefer this doesn't become a sticking point going forward, so for what little it's worth, I apologize if I came across as a dickhead.

All of this is true. Chill your tits.


This. Stuff like friendzoned Jean ain't majority content.

Thank you, this puts most of my concerns to rest, and I'll drop the matter.

I'm not saying it has be TT TWD

I strive for but promise nothing.

Now I sleep.

Just because we disagree in something doesnt mean we are on bad terms or anyting dude, chill, im just saying youre acting like this.


What you said its as unreasonable as if i started arguing that monogamous routes should have access to threesome scenes or else ill get pissed because im missing on content, when that is precisely the point, there should be advantages to playing different ways.

 

[sk1122]

With the amount of interest the game is getting at the moment, I'd be really surprised if there won't be any mods that enable you to switch into the mono/poly parts at will once significant content of that sort becomes available.

Oh hey, my yearbook photo, where'd you get that?

 

[KingAgamemnon]

Maybe it's too much, but do you think we'll have a period where we meet Alpha Flight? Probably not, cause that's a bit of artwork for just a single event, but it would be neat. Maybe we'd get the opportunity to fight Wendigo alongside Wolverine.

Well now that I've fixed my fuck up and did some actual research here is my second attempt at guessing the following chapter girls because it is better than this argument:

Chapter 3 girls:
Mirage, Magik, and Wolfsbane

Chapter 4 girls:
Jubilee, Rachel Summers, and Magma

Chapter 5 girls:
Emma, Boom-Boom, Polaris

Why Emma and Polaris in chapter 5? Well, Polaris was under mind control for the entire Mr. Sinister arc, which will likely be chapter 4, and barely had a role previously, so having her join at the end of the chapter 4 arc when she is freed makes the most sense. Emma becomes more and more affiliated with the X-Men during the years chapter 5 will cover as well. Polaris isn't included because I am not sure anyone wants to deal with the Kwannon mess, and other girls introduced during this time are not included because I haven't read anything with them yet.

Again, this in no way matches what the devs have planned and is only based on Uncanny X-Men up to 240 and a wiki dive.

While your reasoning seems sound (I can't say for sure; I still haven't sat down to read the comics properly), I think announcing Emma so early on only to sideline her full romance for three whole chapters would have a fair number of people eyeing their torches and pitchforks.

She will likely be a end of Chapter or part 3/chapter 2 romance join. Otherwise it would be pointless to have her simply be a villain and to wait 3 chapters for her then join as you say.

I will point out that one of the devs has stated recently that if there had not already been art and writing for Laura and Rogue, that Polaris would've been one of the chapter 1 LI's.

Taking that into account, Polaris could show up earlier than ch 5, potentially.

Eh. Gooners. Having them edge for a couple of years might do 'em some good - help 'em build character and learn some restraint.

She remains an antagonist for nearly a decade before mellowing out in the 90s.

Several events are directly caused by her being an antagonist, so her joining outright before she mellows out is unlikely.

Note, there is nothing stopping Null from seducing her to spy on the Hellfire club, as he is the only one immune to her powers outright, or Emma tries to seduce him to do the same to the X-Men. It would work out even with no romance, as you can do back-and-forths while eating fancy dinners or meeting in social encounters.

It would be a vastly different romance and character interaction compared to every other character, but it would be something fitting to the character, in my opinion. It's also not without precedent in the comic, considering the number of times the X-Men just walked up to the Hellfire club. Heck, Magneto even joins the Hellfire club when he was still the leader of the New Mutants.

I will point out that one of the devs has stated recently that if there had not already been art and writing for Laura and Rogue, that Polaris would've been one of the chapter 1 LI's.

Taking that into account, Polaris could show up earlier than ch 5, potentially.

Potentially, but in the arcs the game will be covering, she is outright retired and doesn't rejoin the plot in any significant capacity till Mr. Sinister has Malice possess her and then she joins X-factor when she is freed.

If it's going to be comic-accurate, then Null won't even interact with her that much beyond the times she is briefly mind-controlled and when she shows up for Scott's wedding. Now, the devs who put far more thought into this than I did might know a better time she can join, but the best time I can think of is chapter 5 where she joins the X-Men instead of X-factor. Heck she might not even be joining considering the sheer number of other potential girls joining in the same time frame.

 

[Knight]

God, can you imagine the utter disaster that would ensue if Null was dating these 2 at once?

If he can handle full Phoenix Jean then he can handle anyone, Jean is the undisputed crazy bitch queen of the X-Men universe.

I beg you pardon?


Jean might get a bit basket case with the phoenix or getting power hungry, but for crazy bitches in the mutant world, theres an undisputed queen.

Just throwing this out there: While Emma didn't join the X-Men proper until the 2000s, she started teaching for Xavier in the book "Generation X" which was the Jubilee era.

Also, I wonder if it wouldn't make the most sense for Polaris, because she's *technically* a pre-Giant Size #1 member of the team but never *does* anything, to be one of those characters they've talked about adding as post-game DLC? Like maybe whoever those girls are, they could be slotted into any season so Polaris could become retroactively a season 1 character or something?

That'd still be chapter 5, and chapter 4, by all indications, would cover the Mr Sinister arc and probably a bit after.

Like maybe whoever those girls are, they could be slotted into any season so Polaris could become retroactively a season 1 character or something?

I'd have to agree with this as well. If we're going comic-accurate, it might be better to save her for DLC or post-game to make room for the other characters that would be joining, of which there would be a lot of potential candidates. But it is up to the devs to decide
