I love everything about this.

What if he had one of those dampeners on him?
Death by hand holding.

I don't think dampeners would work since we've seen him try to use it on the Sentinels and it didn't work then. it must mean that it only affects natural mutants and not others with powers
Not sure what you mean about the Sentinels. They just couldn't tell what was up with Null.

Though I will confirm that he does have the X-Gene. If you want to know why it triggered when he was 18 instead of puberty and why no one can pin down what the heck is going on with him... Play the upcoming chapters :)

what I meant was because they were technology, his power didn't affect them in anyway which I think means the only people he can affect are mutants as we saw with Juggernaut who he touched but was basically told "bruh, what are you doing?"

People were talking about Null having his powers dampened. Not his limitation of dampening others.

Because otherwise

I mean that is a valid reason but that's not the narrative reason lol

So the X-gene is the universal for all mutants? And it remained unchanged for all of them? Or am I missing something?
The X-gene is inconsistent.
Sometimes it is a singular gene, sometimes multiple genes, sometimes it is an entire standalone chromosome.
Sometimes everyone gets different powers from the same identical x-gene.
Other times each individual has a singular x-gene but it's contents are different from person to person.
Also the entire X-gene complex (chromosome) glows purple inside each and every cell.

Each reboot they get a new writer who explains it to the best of his knowledge. And most of them have very poor understanding of biology, as well as little respect to what previous writers came up with.

Just say magic and call it a day, it's the best retcon when you are the bone of your retcon

Which is funny as Stan Lee NEVER hid the reason he invented it... He just got tired of writing origin stories and wanted an excuse for people to have powers from the get go. :ROFLMAO:

I don't think we're going to bother explaining the X-Gene because it's so inconsistently explained in the comics. The only thing you need to know for our game is that the X-Gene is a thing that exists, there are some individuals who can turn it off and unless you're some of the unlucky examples shown post M-Day, it just stops you from using your powers.

Any actual lore discussion beyond this I ask be taken to the off topic thread.

"It's magic" really is all it is at the end of the day. No matter what scientific based explanations or reasoning you try to use, people here can make objects move with their mind.

What about the xxx-gene?

ShinyBoots1993 A couple of questions, if you don't mind.

First one: saturday grill party really should give that much trust? Or that may be corrected in the future?

Second one - during the Fall to Winter transition phone alert looks like this:

Actual alert seems missing here.

I thought something was missing there. I just figured i was misremembering since it had been awhile since I'd started a new game

Rogue just approached me and offered to start dating, i assume if i say yes that's it? i'm locked from pursuing other LI's? and what if i say no? would i be able to still date her later if i change my mind? Sorry for a dumb question i just kinda speedran Rogue's relations because i didn't expect her to approach me like that (nobody ever approached me :cry:)

No, you're not locked out. If you get her trust up to 600, you can let her know you want to date the other two, and her only requirement is that you ask her about the other girl first. Also, you can go back and change your mind if you say no

Nah, there's polyamorous options available. You may have to work on upping friendship between the girls now though.

Yeah, trying beta 24 and the first alert during first main even didn't pop up on the phone.

I'm having some issues with Rogue after her second love quest. If you take her to the pool during it, she gets permanent slicked-back hair and starts lingering in areas.

Also, if you mess around with her, the function becomes broken and you can never mess around with her again.

Haven't tested if it breaks other events.
