Alright, my disciples, show me what you have learned!
Factsareuseless! Take this research, and tell me what you think each branch (Human, Tech-Thief, and Fusion) should provide!
Electro-Magnetic Weaponry!

The rest of you, discuss this idea.
What kind of classes should be included?
Ones from Enemy Within are acceptable, but give me more than Assault-Sniper-Support-Heavy!

As long as it,
A. ADDS to the core gameplay, not detract from it, and
B. Doesn't get to creepy.

Also, can we add a lesser, "friendship" affect which is like being lovers, but decreased and can be between same-sex characters?

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

I like this, it's good Christian morals to not allow same-sex love interests.

I don't like the idea that homo- and transphobia be implemented as gameplay aspects :colbert: Any character should be able to fall in love with any other. I don't even remotely see how this could be constructed as creepy.

I would like to see the player interacting with more than one kind of extraterrestrial. The XCOM trope of extraterrestrials as universally evil and alien is getting pretty old, and it would be refreshing to see extraterrestrials that are somewhat friendly to humans - like the Star Control Syreen, for an example.

Oh oh, here's what we do:

Start out kind of like XCOM, then transition into a guerrilla movement as the game goes on. Because you're underground now you have far less ability to recruit so you end up using your original people's kids. But you have to assign them to different tasks, not just combat. So you combine Massive Chalice and Rogue Legacy, and you have to decide whether someone is best for research or combat or propaganda or what.

I don't think I like this stuff about no gay characters though. I don't think it would be good for the bottom line if we didn't allow teenaged girls to cause their favorite units to fall in gay love.

Okay, for classes, you should do it like Final Fantasy Tactics. You can customize your own classes depending on what weapons and armor and things you give to the characters. Be sure to include Summoners and things like that for extra appeal.
