Will the sneaky Skrull known as "Steve Jobs" steal the X-Phone and launch the iphone in ch3?
Who keeps leaking my idea doc???
So you're why there's so many Thirsty Jean memes.
Naaaah. I wish. I'm not that creative.
Thank you. You got a lot of questions and I hope I can answer them in a satisfying way.
Jean and her quirk about "fake incest," where she first suggests the protagonist call her "big sister," and then even starts acting like one. I'm not against it, but the way she plays this role feels somewhat... naive and forced. She doesn't give the impression of someone who's turned on by incest, even if it's pretend. And if it's part of "domination and control," her idea of control seems pretty liberal. Is this a bug or a feature?
Jean has two older brothers, an older sister, and one younger sister.
She has a lot of dudes being in authority over her and suffers middle child syndrome when it comes to being a daughter.
The faux incest stems from resentment held toward her family and Null twisting the allegory of a dorm sister.*
Initially it's a way to exert control over you and develops into a full on kink for the reasons stated above.
The "liberal" part is because we don't want to force players into that dynamic so we leaned into her losing some confidence, assuming you'd just go along with it. If you do go along with it she continues to push.
*Some colleges, not all, have a "big sibling" program for freshmen. Seniors and juniors helping them acclimate. I pointed this out and thought it'd be a good entry point to that quirk.
Jean's invitation for a first date, while delivered with confidence, makes it seem like she's subconsciously expecting a refusal right up to the last moment. If you discuss relationships with her and voice your Napoleonic plans about a harem, she won't be thrilled. But the dialogue gives the impression that Jean isn't talking to a new student, but to a mix of Brad Pitt and Apollo, at whose feet women fall with a snap of a finger. Yet Jean herself is hotter than hell, the top psyker around, smart, beautiful, a Komsomol member, an activist, and an athlete... I mean, she's the kind of girl with a trail of broken hearts behind her, and not just from guys. Is it just me, or does she subconsciously value herself much lower than I just valued her?
Jean has gifted child syndrome and neglected socialization. After Iceman, Beast, and Angel left Cyclops was really her only connection to the OG team and she never clicked with the newer team members or students.
A lot of guys are intimidated by her because she's the campus' "perfect girl" and those who got to know her find her a little high strung.
The fact that she finally got a "win" in both friendship and romance with you took her way off guard and she shows a possessiveness over you even when you're in poly.
Specifically
there's a scene where Rogue kisses you and Jean asserts her top bitch position by kissing you more passionately.
Jean's "domination" on the first date consists of her timidly asking if she can order for you. On one hand, it's quite cute; on the other hand, it's so sad that I'd even eat sawdust soup if it helped her feel more confident. And in later dates, she doesn't act like a tyrant/dominant/abuser at all. The peak of her "domination" is that she wants to order for you (from what you yourself choose!), and on movie nights, you watch documentaries instead of feature films. Considering I like them about as much as she does, I feel zero pressure. During sex scenes, she acts with full dedication, and again, I didn't see any pressure. Is her quirk simply a desire for control, or has she already ordered a flugelhorn, a whip, and an SS leather coat from Amazon, and the delivery is just delayed?
I don't really read it as timid. More like naively bossy.
She's not going to be a big dominatrix. Her initial role of dorm sibling and being older than you causes a desire to be nurturing. If you activate her quirk, her "control" is her perceived best interest for you.
She orders the food and chooses the documentaries that she thinks is for your own improvement.
Big Sis intends to spoil and nurture her lil' bro. Not peg him.
The lack of a sexual relationship between Jean and Scott – is it part of their character, or players' ability to see NTR everywhere women aren't throwing themselves at their, and only their, dick? As I understood from the plot, Jean (18+) dated Scott (18+) for several years. Yet, when Jean suggests dating the protagonist, she gets offended if you ask if she's single, and mentions that she and Scott haven't even kissed. Meanwhile, the player is offered to date and get horizontal so easily and quickly it's almost awkward. Is the translation in my version of the game just that distinctive, or did the Jean-Scott pair really decide to take things that slowly?
I can't explain why Scott and Jean aren't a couple because that'd be spoiling a story that
Maddeninggg is holding onto. I'm not sure when it will be implemented.
Though what I can say is that Scott and Jean tried dating and it didn't last long.
The reason why Jean jumps into your bed so quickly is because she feels like she wasted her college years trying to keep her GPA perfect.
Again she's the older and more "mature" one so she knows what she wants and takes it.
This is inferred and explicitly stated in some dialogue that you either overlooked or haven't seen yet.
The protagonist's regeneration – does it work by accelerating biological processes (healing), or by restoring him to the health level he had before being harmed? In the finale, his skin chars and immediately restores, then his flesh, and then his body burns down to the bones! And it restores almost instantly. It was epic, but fantastical even by the game's standards. My question is, with enough energy, can the protagonist restore himself from a skeleton, or is brain damage a one-way trip?
The only thing I am permitted to say on this is that it is possible for Null to die. Depending on the method, it can be easy for him to die.
Anything other than that and our head writer will murder my family.
Why did everything stop when Null touched Jean? He can suppress her powers, not the ones trying to fry him. And were they even trying to fry him, or was it just a test flap of the wings?
Test flap and the power of friendship/love woke her up.
You'll notice that even if you don't romance the girls, all of the quests get you to a point where you earn the girls' trust.
We're expanding platonic relationships so it'll be more obvious.
Does Rouge have an inferiority complex? During the first meetings, it seemed she avoided others because of her ability, but then she says herself, and the plot reveals, that there are other reasons. But what they are, she won't admit, and I didn't understand. Is the answer in her romance route, or will it be revealed later, even on the "friendship" path?
People often don't know this because they either got in during the Claremont Era or the 90s Cartoon Show, where it's understated in both instances, but Rogue has SEVERE insecurity issues early on after she joins the X-Men. Evo's goth interpretation, and thus ours, stems from these earlier appearances.
You'll learn more as the plot unfolds but her initial rock bottom confidence is inline with her early comic appearances.
Both friends and boyfriends will learn her reasons.
Why does the protagonist have such a strange set of powers? It started simple – negating/suppressing mutant powers, and only mutant powers (it was funny with Juggernaut). But then, as someone rightly said in the school chat, it's like he's really pulling superpowers out of his ass. Regeneration and endurance, then energy absorption, and as players, we see the potential to upgrade to X-ray vision and shapeshifting. A strange and inconsistent set.
Okay the least satisfying answer... Spoilers.
Null's X-Gene is... confused. That's all I can say without the head writer killing my family and kidnapping my dog.
And what does the Null Hypothesis have to do with it?
There's a 6 layered pun to the title of the game. Whoever guesses all 6 layers gets a unique discord role.
So far people have only gotten to the 4th layer. The 5th can be easily guessed if people go from the right angle, they haven't yet, and the 6th requires a really lucky guess until about mid way through Chapter 3. In which case people can easily guess it if they think hard enough.
