Rogue and Laura come across fairly well, but the vibe I got from Jean was more along the lines of: I've spent my whole life overthinking things, and look where it's gotten me, so this time I'm not going to overthink things and just go with the flow. I suppose that just shows how little I pay attention to subtext.
Sounds wise.
Fair enough.
That is actually unclear. Yes, he has limited range to nullify effects (the tennis balls dropped at about 2 feet), but it was implied (or was it stated?) that to nullify a power completely required contact (which is why he would grab Jean's hand, and she made him hang on, when her powers got away from her).
Oh I get that, but his draining power has much longer range than his nullification power, something like 6 feet IIRC, although staying away entirely is good during training.
Why does this not surprise me?
Being the same as everyone else is boring.
Slow? Seriously?
Pft, I'll have to try this out when I next play... Or wait for the update. I had a feeling A+ was possible but I never tried...
Right yeah, it's the fact that I don't think they'll say no... Hm... Maybe that's where the "build up their relationship with each other" through pool 'dates'/'hangouts'... I feel like i only started caring and inviting them to the pool after the harem had started...
It wasn't a big thing that mattered but god, it's nice to see an in-verse explanation. Attentiveness!
Love that
Mixed feelings. Love that everything is getting settled before more 'weight' is put on the system. It kinda looked like the updates recently are like changing an existing system, which kinda sucks (though, I'm all for improving a system or idea or anything like that for the better if something better presents itself).
Rude! But that's interesting, I wonder if orgasm has any impact on the grade... Ah wait heavy petting, that's basically every option in the standing pose that's more or less clothed. That'd certainly trigger an orgasm... I've gotten A so I wonder... More unique actions I guess.
I bet those same people who say it's too slow aren't complaining about Null being slow.
I feel like a 10-20% increase in the amount of actions required (for women) and the same percentage but a decrease for Null would be good. It's not too fast or too slow but a little tweak might be good to satisfy that... I wouldn't be bothered if the current rate stays the same though.
I don't know. Sometimes quickies are the better option.
One thing that occurs to me is the order of events also has an impact. In my playthrough, I liked Rogue the best, and progressed much faster than her in the beginning. So when the relationship conversation came up and I picked "I want to date others too," (because I've gotta catch 'em all), it felt natural (porn-game natural) that she'd go along with it. And yes, it isn't healthy. With the others, it was more of a case of "I'm with Rogue, and I'm not leaving her, so if you want to explore this thing, you need to be cool with that." Laura runs on instinct. You're the mate she's chosen, and she doesn't have the upbringing to care about stupid social constructs, so she's fine with it. Jean I felt was more of a "it's not like I'm happy with my life now, so I'll give it shot." I'm not saying I think it is real-world realistic necessarily, but it felt like a better setup for a harem than most games where you basically cheat on a bunch of women and when they find out they're fine with it because "magic cock."
My obsession with perfection and completion demands that I get A+ ALWAYS.
Oh hey me too, I was progressing Jean and Laura a bit too fast, unexpectedly and so I made sure to power progress Rogue a bit since First Girl/Best Girl should get Null first. At least dating-wise. Honestly, that's the part where I've got it stuck in my head that the girls might've been expecting exclusivity. That Jean date (before the relationship became official) made her sound so much like "I'm a one-guy type of gal" and so comment courtesy would imply she's expecting the same from me.... That or I misread some shit. Would not be the first time!
Her specific comment was just about casual sex basically. Saying she doesn't do one-night stands, not about sharing you with other girls. Needless to say she also wouldn't try to date other guys while with you.
We haven't really changed any of the girls compared to earlier releases. If anything, just given them more writing and character development.
I was thinking about this, from a programming perspective this is very much a good idea. If you proceed to Chapter 2 before all the main process are added and polished, it becomes that much more work to add/ polish them when you do get to it, which will slow things down later. I think this will pay off better in the long term as development should be easier* from Chapter 2 on.
This was very much my interpretation, she thinks Null is the best, therefor he is the best and all other females would think the same way, and it is only right for the best male to have the best females. On the same hand, she sees herself as the best female (strongest) and thus should be the Alpha Bitch as well.
This is actually a good interpretation of the character and functions as something built on top of what I said.
I can pass this on to the writers.
Good writing?
I mean I don't play these kinds of games with the expectation of it being true to life but I've had a lot of complaints making it seem like we've made it as difficult as real life... which is just silly.
The team is currently expanding the friendship stuff. Make it more dynamic and interesting.
But it is funny lol
I think the head writer has something in the works.
Dude, a lot of the stuff is built this way.
At least we aren't Stellaris.
My two favourite comments about the game are still 'worksafe version when' - a surprising number of people have asked for a SFW version to pass to people and one of my friends has threatened to do a playthrough for his Twitch channel on more than one occasion - and 'the writing was so good, I forgot to jerk off', again, a comment that more than one person has made! And that always surprises me, because we all know how much people like to jerk off!
In a world where God is good and fair, that would be me... excuse me for a moment.
I've joked around that the game should pick the DMC brand of rating, if you think an A+ is hard, your mind will explode when you learn of Super Sexy Style.
I mean this with the least amount of disrespect possible but if there was ever a sign to disconnect for a while, I don't think God could be any clearer. /joke
I don't know. If public sex is unlocked, I can imagine Professor X rolling in mid-coitus might apply a penalty that would offset any additional gains from picking a few more options. Who am I kidding? Xavier has too much tact for that. With his powers, he'd either contact you telepathically to come to his study to discuss your extracurricular activities or "luckily" arrive immediately after everyone involved as finished fixing their clothes. With Logan's senses, he'd know what's going on, and I'm not sure he'd care; therefore, he'd only interrupt if he needed something. "Ignore me. I just need to grab my bag." There is the possibility of someone like Scott or Kurt interrupting accidently. I could imagine someone having a heart attack if Kurt teleported into the room at an ill-opportune moment.
While later I did start progressing with everyone at roughly the same rate, Rogue was so far in the lead, I was caught off guard when Jean was the first one ready for sex. I understand why the devs did it, but I still had a "how the hell did that happen" moment.
Sort of in the same boat. I'm not particularly a fan of being either dominant or submissive. I encouraged Jean's siscon quark because it was cute at first; however, as much as I like doting and pampering "big sis," I don't particularly like bossy "big sis." I actually considered restarting at one point and reversing that decision. With Laura, I'm been discouraging her quark and trying to establish boundaries from the beginning. Sorry, but the only one I'd tolerate being clingy and possessive is Anna Marie. As for Rogue, I've been encouraging her quark because, in your words, it just makes me want to "protect and pamper" her, but I would like to be able to build her confidence.
I didn't play any earlier versions, so I can't speak on that. As for the order, I found it plausible to have Laura and Jean join later, and I don't think Rogue would be any less enthusiastic even if she wasn't first due to her low self-esteem, desperation for someone to be able to touch, and romantic tendencies. Much like Rogue, I doubt Laura would have any problem with Null wanting to add more girls if she was first. As stated elsewhere, she might even consider that to be the natural order. The one scenario I have the most trouble envisioning is Jean being okay with an open relationship if she was the first girl. At the very least, she would put up the most resistance and be the most vocally opposed to the idea to my thinking.
It'll be tough to top what's already in the game, such as the scene where X-23 tells Rogue to call her Laura, or when Laura tells Rogue she smells almost as good as Null, and Rogue has that "should I be worried? I think I should be worried" moment. Still, I look forward to seeing you try.
