Kyle would have so much fun with her.

In an inappropriate way?

Or some other Kyle-esque way?

In a 'You're tech is so interesting please let me study it' kind of way.

He's a monogamous man now and he's going for Lizzie.

He probably wouldn't understand it :P No one really does.

Or it might try to bite him.

Though that in itself would be somewhat inappropriate anyway, considering it's embedded in her body, and not typically in particularly modest parts.

It would be fun, though! I still need to find a way to introduce her better. And to finish her abilities.

Well, I don't really want to but if everyone agrees that IRIS would be a good start I think we could use that.

I think the opposite is the case. The tactic for beating increasingly powerful foes should not be "just add more and more characters", but characters actually becoming more powerful.
I beg to differ, that does little for difficulty and merely only expands the range of options, whilst hat is certainly a positive prospect, it should not be the primary mechanism. Rather, I would argue that it is the players themselves becoming more proficient at strategy and tactics, both on and off the battlefield would a better option. After all, the sense of accomplishment is greater if one's own foresight and stratagems yield the victory than mere stats and equipment, is it not?

If the characters insist of using rudimentary tactics and coordination at best, then permanent, irrecoverable death seems to be a fitting consequence.

Well, I don't really want to but if everyone agrees that IRIS would be a good start I think we could use that.
I'd rather keep the other two organizations out of this for the foreseeable future, unless of course they get annihilated alongside SERT soon.

Our 'tactics' are limited at the moment since it appears to be merely an abstract numbers game, without taking circumstantial bonuses and the like into account, it feels like.

Yeah, combat is a bit generic at the moment. My combat is highly environmental, and you'll be on the offensive most of the time, allowing you to actually plan ahead instead of just suddenly punch things.

Also, I'll add her to the char list when I get home. Start using all your characters, god damn it :P Even though she is eerily similar to Kaiser.

I tried to introduce her, but short of her knocking on Maria's door or something, there wasn't really a way to do so effectively.

I suggested her being in a fight and getting some help, but Kj seemed to think that was cheesing my way out of it or something.

I'd refute that but I forgot what I said.

I can give you the choice of two mid-plot entries, if you want them, though one of them might need you to change her backstory a bit.

So, people will actually be able to flank, take out enemies one by one and take cover rather than just standing five feet from each other and wailing indefinitely? :P

Pfft. Wailing indefinitely is the best way.

Also, why do Kyle's fusion reactors not have any explanation for how they work anyway? Considering it's already established that he's quite good at laser technology, it could just be laser-based inertial confinement fusion.

Pfft. Wailing indefinitely is the best way.

You probably still could. Except with more choice on who to wail on whilst people less equipped for the job shoot at the people getting wailed on from behind cover.
