Question Thread: May 2025 [CLOSED]
Added 2025-05-07 18:00:06 +0000 UTCSorry everyone, this is coming a couple days late because I forgot to have the guest poll and did that on the fifth instead, then it was a non-posting day on the sixth. But the question thread is ready to go now!
Here you can ask me things you're wondering about for our games or company and they'll be answered at the end of the month an an audio recording (with a text transcript too). Just make sure the questions long follow the guidelines!
The thread will close after the 20th.
Guidelines:
1. Please don't reply to other people's questions even if you know the answer. The fun of joining a Q&A is that the developer can give a direct response to you and that everyone else also gets to hear/see the answer in the end of the month post. Having another player resolve the question in the comments right here might not be what the asker was hoping for. This thread is more about having a good time rather than looking for an immediate response to an important question. And if you do have a question you want to hear about right away, it's best to ask in some other thread or to message me directly.
2. I'm afraid questions about what scenes/choices/art assets Our Life: Now & Forever will include aren't answerable right now. Most of the details are decided as the game is created and currently I'm only writing Step 1. I do know some things coming later, but only a small fraction of the whole game.
3. The questions can't be about more serious/potentially upsetting topics because I don't want those listening to suddenly be surprised with something they might not have been prepared for/want to be confronted with.
4. Please keep the questions here to things that wouldn't be really hard to tackle in an off-the-cuff, spoken out loud kind of Q&A, aha. Questions about a half dozen characters or wanting an entire theoretical situation described aren't super doable in this situation.
You can always send me questions outside of the audio Q&A if they wouldn't work here!
###############################
You can also find answers for more basic info like heights, birthdays, timelines, and such in the Overall FAQ.
That's everything. Thank you to everyone who participates in the Q&A!

I'm really sorry, I can't answer questions about the beta here since a lot of listeners haven't played it. You could DM me if you want to talk about beta spoilers!

2025-05-21 16:06:13 +0000 UTCHiya! I hope your doing well! I have a few odd questions if that's alright. If mc is trans will they be able to ask Yusuf what it was like to transition? I know you said he is intersex and assigned female at birth but later transitioned. Or if something like that hasn't been decided yet. Are thee going to be more halloween variety in the customeinamble screen? What was the mailbox incident? Or is it left up to the player? Is the highschool in beginning and always a big or small high school?

2025-05-21 03:40:54 +0000 UTCHello to you and the team! I’m going to shake it up a bit. I’d like to ask a few questions to you, of course, and David if that’s alright. (In the transcript notes if he’s comfortable doing so!) here are my questions, all about OL1 1. Favorite LI? 2. Favorite parent? 3. Favorite secondary character(s)? Thank you so much for these monthly Q&A’s, stay safe and stay hydrated! (David, I’d love to ask you more questions in future Q&A’s if you’re willing! And thank you once again for your hard work!)

2025-05-19 02:57:51 +0000 UTCHello GB Patch! I hope you have had an amazing month! If any of the questions I ask class as a spoiler than feel free to skip them. 1. How does Step 1/Step 2 Qiu feel about a self-reliant MC? One that can look after themselves and doesn’t need their help? 2. Similar question, but how does Step 2 Qiu feel about an MC that is dependent one them? Such as clingy and needs a lot of reassurance. 3. How much do Qiu and Tamarack dislike each other in Step 2? It is just a general distaste for the other or do they hate each other? 4. I completely understand if you aren’t able to answer this question yet but I was wondering when we will receive a confirmed release date for Our life N&F? Again I understand if you cannot answer this yet as we are only halfway through this year but I am just so excited for the game! Thank you so much for doing these Q&A’s! I love them a lot and it is something I look forward to every month! Also I want to thank David for doing the text transcripts as well. It makes looking after the past Q&As a lot easier.

2025-05-18 13:17:46 +0000 UTCHello!!! Thank you so much for doing this again, hope you’re all doing well and having fun!! I have a few questions, thank you in advance for any you can answer! ❤️ Were the OL2 leads born in the year 2000? I understand if this isn’t answerable yet, since they don’t have set birthdays. Also, have you at any point considered Qiu and Tamarack having the same birthday? Was step 3 Baxter into things like clubbing or house parties? He mentions in step 3 that he goes to parties if he’s invited, but was he ever immersed in the college partying, “wake up in a stranger’s bathtub” life, or was he more of a vague social butterfly who stayed on the sidelines for anything too crazy and kept his rebellion to drinking wine at 19 and illegally renting an SUV? What’s Tamarack’s favorite color in step two? Now that the step 1 moments are all finished, do you have a favorite?

2025-05-17 19:13:01 +0000 UTCHello, i hope that you guys have been doing okay lately and that everything is runinng somethly. Im so sorry if my questions has already been asked, but do you think that NF is going to have more angst? Considering that everyone is going through things in their personal life, do you think that tensions in this game will be runnung high? Especially in step 2?
♡Aspen♡
2025-05-16 20:08:42 +0000 UTCHello! I hope you are doing good! I was interested to know if there is a future option to have your mc pursue an instrument similar to joining ballet with Qiu in step one! Will that be in the game?
Froge
2025-05-16 00:16:50 +0000 UTCHi! I hope that you and your team have been well. I'm curious what the adults think about Step 2 Qiu's personality shift? Do Opal and the Baumanns view them as a potential negative influence to the MC and Tamarack?
MangogoLane
2025-05-15 19:08:49 +0000 UTCHi my question is Opal in home says she would rather see my mc mad does she really mean it my mc is quite patient in step 1 so she did not get mad, Also Opal is a fan of Sherlock Holmes what does she think of the lord of the rings harry potter etc i understand if you cant answer sorry if its been asked before.I hope you will have a good day

2025-05-15 16:38:25 +0000 UTCHi!! Thank you for creating this amazing project/game haha. This is my first time asking a question! In Step 1 of N&F, it kind of seemed like Qiu had an artistic side to them? But at least in my playthroughs [of the beta], it was never really directly addressed/confirmed whether they are "an artist" or not (whether its a dedicated hobby or just an occasional thing). I'm an artist myself so my interest was piqued haha. And if they did have an artistic streak/interest in Step 1, does that continue into Step 2 (and beyond)? P.S. Thank you to David for the transcripts!! I rely on them very much haha.

2025-05-15 01:13:09 +0000 UTCI was curious if during step two if you someone who was bullying you or threatening to fight you in some way, how would Qiu react if they were there? Would they take you away, yell at the person, raise a fist, etc? And then to add onto that question, if Qiu was involved in an altercation would they be capable of beating up or even just punching another person who was their age? Or would they be the type to run away? I guess I'm trying to figure out Qiu's capability for violence in step 2 lol Also keep up the great work GB!!

2025-05-14 17:49:07 +0000 UTCHi! I've been playing a lot of roleplaying games recently so here's my question for the month: How would Baxter feel if he was put into the role of a classical "Chosen One"? Somebody in charge of saving the world. In OLBA, he favours supporting others over taking center stage from what I can tell, so I'm really interested in what would happen if he was given this immense responsibility he didn't ask for and can't run from. Thank you!

2025-05-14 11:52:56 +0000 UTCHello! I apologize if you've answered this before but I was wondering if the non-romanceable characters in both our life games have canon sexualities? I'm specifically curious about Liz but thinking of this question made me wonder about the others. I hope you have a great day :D
Beauthefrog
2025-05-13 14:11:07 +0000 UTCHi, I hope you and the team had a great month :), and thanks for the hard work. I never ask questions, but I had a few stuck in my head for months about OL2. Sorry if the questions aren't well formulated, English is not my first language. 1. So, this might be silly, but which characters would choose Step 1 OL2's leads, while playing Mario Kart? I remember getting my DS in 2010, and that reminds me a lot about them. I imagine my mcs having a DS and letting Qiu and Tamarack borrow it or play together by turns. 2. This might be a spoiler; if it is, feel free to skip this question. I realized that if the MC considers in step 1 any of the OL2's leads to be "the prettiest person they've ever seen", they can still think that in step 2, but if the mc goes to crushes to neighbors, or friends to neighbors at the beginning of step 2, they will not consider any of them the prettiest anymore. So could this change in the next steps? Can they consider them the prettiest again at some point? 3. How would Qiu react to the MC calling them by their name in another language as a nickname? For example, most of my MCs call Qiu at the beginning of step 2 "Otoño" or "Otoñito" (That's just "Autumn", and "little autumn" in Spanish). Would they think that's nice? Or kind of weird? Or they wouldn't think too much about it? 4. Is there any possibility for the OL2 MC doll to include facial hair customization in later steps? I wouldn't say like a full beard, but like a mustache, or something simple. 5. Now, there is a question for Baxter. In other Q&As, you let us know that Baxter will be the MC and Tamarack/Qiu's wedding planner. It isn't funny for Baxter that he keeps planning their past love interests' weddings? Because my main MC in OL1 dates Baxter in Step 3, and marries Cove in Step 4, and my main MC in OL2 is going to marry Qiu in Step 4. He probably doesn't care, but it isn't funny that it happened twice? Idk, if it happened to me, it would be a funny anecdote. 6. I think you explained this in another Q&A. Correct me if I am wrong. Is the game able to acknowledge if the MC is treating one of the OL2's leads differently? For example, if the Mc is rude to everyone, but only nice with Tamarack, or if the MC is polite to everyone, but is only rude to Qiu, could the game realize this? 7. This is probably me because I didn't understand, but in OL2 step 1 prologue, when Rene is getting Baxter and the MC stays with Qiu and Tamarack in the classroom, we can choose to ask Qiu what they had written in the note we picked earlier that they lost. They explain that's for their mom, that they're trying to help her with things around the house, but she doesn't need any help because she remembers what she has to do, and then Tamarack says "Oh, she's a good mom!", they like get embarrassed and apologize for being dumb. I didn't understand that interaction. Why are they apologizing? Why do they think they are dumb because of that? I get that Step 1 Qiu is self-conscious and more sensitive than they let other people see, but I still don't get it.

2025-05-13 07:16:47 +0000 UTChi! thank you guys for hosting these q&a sessions, and thank you david for the transcriptions (as a deaf fan, it makes it a lot easier for me to follow along, especially when i don’t have my aid on) ♡ this is my first time joining one of the q&a’s, so i’m super excited, but feel free to ignore any questions that have already been asked & any you don’t want to answer! no pressure to answer any of these at all, it means a lot just to read the other questions asked ♡ first off, i was wondering how some of the our life cast would be with a user (presumably mc) that was hard of hearing or deaf in some form? is there a possibility any of them would know / learn sign language (perhaps even with mc, if mc is someone who doesn’t know it already)? or just interact with in general, really; like if they were suddenly unable to ‘hear’ in a publicly crowded area or something? i’m mostly curious about the love interests from both games, but anything works! also, i was wondering if there is anything more about kyra’s life back in nevada, or at least when cove’s not around? i admit i quite adore kyra despite her not being a love interest, she’s someone that’s close to my heart & i love how she’s written and portrayed ♡ or possibly even more about her, possibly from before cove was born, if you have any idea! also, i’ve been wondering, would she perhaps have ever experimented with her orientation in the past, or has she just always been a bonafide ally? i’m really curious about her in general, sorry! a self-indulgent, obligatory birthday question since it’s coming up for me (for me to ask, but like before, you don’t have to answer this either ♡); how would the our life love interests (from both games, if possible!) celebrate mc’s birthday (generally, is there anything special planned at all?) if that makes sense! sorry, for some reason, i couldn’t quite figure out how to word this in the end. i hope you’re having a great day, and thank you for taking the time to read this ♡ i hope the month treated all of you guys well!

2025-05-12 12:59:54 +0000 UTCIf JB is from Oregon, is she also from Golden Grove? And if so was she there around the same time Pran was?

2025-05-12 04:22:19 +0000 UTCHey GB! I saw some super~ cute fan art of Cove's first and it got me thinking, Have you thought about or made any plans for your first kiss? I'm not asking when it will happen or for specific ideas (not that I don't want to know; I'm sure you'd want it to be a surprise). I'm just curious if you have any ideas in mind. Also will we have anymore cut scenes in step 1? like in "Wheels" or "Walks"?
Lexi
2025-05-11 08:05:58 +0000 UTCI love this game!! cant wait for it to be fully released (I cant even wait till the next update and I know its gonna be good) I have a question though to! Are you planning to add a more mature look to the character creator for later steps? the one we got is super detailed and amazing but something about the look makes it hard to picture the character as a 18/22 yr old, if not that completely okay! I get its just to get more creativity with your character and has some points in dialogue, I was just wondering! Thank you sm for reading this! super ooper excited for this entire game and everything AHHH <3 <3 <3

2025-05-10 14:33:21 +0000 UTCHii sorry I forgot to ask this I'm sorry 😭😭 but in step two if you choose to be unaware of a crush on qiu or tam are they unaware too?
Boolooaa
2025-05-10 02:34:58 +0000 UTCThis game has made such wonderful progress this year! It’s awesome to see! Now onto my questions. 1) It might be too early to answer this, but do you think Baxter would be the wedding planner for the OL2 wedding dlc like OL1? 2) And I don’t know if you’ve answered this already, but does the OL2 cast have a dream job in step 1 and step 2? And if so, did they stay the same job or different jobs? 3) What are the OL2 main characters sexualities? 4) Is there a specific item that reminds Qiu and Tamarack of the MC, or an item that they associate with the MC?
Lexie
2025-05-10 00:15:07 +0000 UTCI'm loving the game so far and can't wait for more updates to come. My question is just out of curiosity and sorry if you answered it already but how much angst are we talking and how jealous will Qiu or Tamarack become? Like they argue all the time or they become almost possessive? It's okay if you can't answer fully.
nightshade
2025-05-09 18:09:42 +0000 UTCI know the game is not fully done yet but are you tossing around the idea of having DLC romance options in the new game as well? Like maybe Darren or Guy. Also will Baxter maybe return at some point we know from the first game he fell out and still seemed to be out of contact with his friend group still at around his mid twenties. (totally not having dreams of Baxter randomly showing up with majority of my MCs like yeah I'm in love and she/he/they convinced me to come back and catch up XD I cant help it Baxter's my favorite) And I'm sure this has been asked before but since I'm newish here: Are you planning to maybe give us a Baxter or Derek wedding as well? Thank you for making these games, seriously they're just amazing!

2025-05-09 00:53:10 +0000 UTCThank you so much for answering my last question and taking the time to even do this every month. I have a few more questions about this particular subject if you don't mind. If you do end up making a master post about lost Xoxo Reunion and Floret Bond stuff, would they both get their own separate posts? Also could what was going to happen in XOBD be included? Thank you again!
aki lee
2025-05-09 00:33:00 +0000 UTCHope everyone is doing okay! Not sure if this has been answered or not before, but is there any specific reason why Derek was chosen to have a crush on the MC by default? I love that little detail and it makes the world feel so alive. I was wondering what the thought process behind it was? Thank you :)

2025-05-08 22:14:34 +0000 UTCHappy May, GB!! I hope you’re doing well and enjoyed your trip in April! I have some Baxter questions since its his birthday month, if thats okay! - How ‘bad’ was Baxter in his rebellious bad boy phase? Like, was he the ‘constantly partying, drinking, hooking up, sneaking out’ kind of bad? I’ve always been curious about just how wild he actually was. - Considering his route can get blocked if you say he’s your first love, would Baxter be similarly taken aback by him being the MC’s other firsts? First kiss, first boyfriend, first physically intimate partner etc? And would this change depending on the Step? - Does the Birthday Boy celebrate his own birthday? It looked like he liked to plan parties but not be the center of them, so I just wonder if he does anything for his own birthday! Thank you sm to you (and David!!) for these Q&A’s! They’ve been the highlight of my months since I’ve joined, so ty for the hard work you put in. 🩷

2025-05-08 19:28:09 +0000 UTCHello! Thank you for awnsering and feel free to ignore any you don't want to awnser! 1: I was wondering if there will be an option to turn off the actual voices of the characters when the game is fully done and they're voice-acted. Totally okay if not 🫶. 2: might sound weird but if Opal was to date someone what kind of person would she date? 3: step one qui seems very forgiving and nice, what would it take for him to dislike and not talk to someone? That's all, thank you!!
Boolooaa
2025-05-08 18:07:57 +0000 UTCHello GB Patch Lady! Thank you for opening the Q&A floor, I've been a Patron for a while but I've always been to shy to ask questions. So, here we go: 1) You mentioned before that when picking to be best friends with Qiu in Step One, he won't exactly find it mutual because he's closer with Renee/Baxter at that point. What extent is the difference of the closeness/mutual feelings exhibited between being BFFs with Qiu vs just being friends with Qiu in Step One? What are Qiu's thoughts on us at that point? 2) You don't have to answer if it's a Spoiler! But in Step Two we are given the option to join Qiu with Ballet and Tamarack with Band. Will there be options aside from this? Not expecting like a fully-developed other club we can join, but like small flavor texts. Or even during the Homecoming moment, could we possibly be a football player or cheerleader? (Again no need to answer this bit if it's spoiler-y). 3) Is Tamarack's mom also German/German-American? If so, can she (and Tamarack's dad) speak fluent German? That's all, thank you for humoring me! Best of luck to your games ❤️❤️❤️
Corazon
2025-05-08 04:45:55 +0000 UTCHi, you've probably gotten this question before, but I keep forgetting how to say Qius' name. Is there a way that could help me remember? Like how people have a way of helping them remember how to spell words. I just feel so bad whenever I play because I end up forgetting if I'm saying the name right or not.

2025-05-08 04:14:12 +0000 UTCWhoop! I’ve been waiting excitedly to join my first Q&A. I have a few more theoretical questions, it’s obv fine if you don’t know yet! Do what you want 👍 For my character focused question: 1.) You talked about how Qiu’s parents might feel towards a rebellious/rude MC perusing Qiu. How would Tamarack’s Omi, Opa, and her parents feel about a rude/disrespectful MC? For more theoretical/gameplay-y questions: 1.) We only had two linked moments in step 1. You mention in the game that there will be more in future steps. Do you have any idea how many might show up in step 2? 2.) I played through OL:B&A and I thought the route where you both begin dating and propose to Cove at the end of step 4 was very cute! I was wondering if you’re planning to have something similar for Qiu and Tamarack, or if you’re planning to stop the player from proposing at a certain point? (Or you just haven’t decided yet!) 3.) If we have an MC who transitions before moving to golden grove but does not come out to qiu and tamarack during childhood, will we be given a chance to come out later (EX: with Qiu when discussing their identity, before starting to date one of the LI’s, etc) or is it assumed that we came out to them offscreen between steps 1 and 2? 4.) do you plan on writing more non-male LI’s like in OL:N&F or are you focusing on more male LI’s for future projects? Thank you so much, I really appreciate you (and David!) putting together these monthly Q&As for us!

2025-05-08 03:06:15 +0000 UTCHope you, David, and the rest of the team are doing lovely this month! Skip whatever as always!: When conceptualizing and designing the characters, how did y'all go about deciding what type of style/aesthetic to assign each? And may I just say that I especially like Tamarack, Qiu, Serenity, and Vianca's designs! The dichotomy between Qiu and Tamarack's styles go without saying, but I also want to give you flowers for the contrast between Tamarack and Serenity's styles! Though both are quite romantic and sorta vintage, Tamarack seemingly has this cottage-core/coquette/soft aesthetic going, whereas Serenity adopts a more gothic/macabre/somber aesthetic. I also like the contrast between Qiu and Vianca's style, which I'd assume corresponds to how their personalities contrast with each other's as well, with Vianca having a formal/academic style and Qiu adopting a more so casual/lax style.
liumiu
2025-05-08 02:00:59 +0000 UTCHello there. Have lurked around for a while now, but finally decided to pop up. Hope you are doing well! 1) Would either of the OL2 lead characters (so Qiu and Tamarack) be considered sweet tooth at Step 1? If so, would that change over the course of the Steps 2/3/4 as they age? 2) What would be Qiu's and Tamarack's favorite (and least favorite) type of candy? I vaguely remember Tamarack giving MC a lollipop in one of the scenes, but not sure if either of them have ever stated their preferences regarding candies.

2025-05-07 23:57:18 +0000 UTCHiya GB, first off, wanna say: Thank you for what you do, especially in such scary times, these two little goobers have invaded my life and refuse to leave lol. On to the question: I've been wondering since I first played the game which way MC enters the forest in the prologue. The dialogue suggests that Tamarack throws the plane from the right side of the road. So, I assume if MC is walking away from the fence of their home they'd get to the fork in the road from the left side of the neighborhood CG (the side the Lin home is on), which is on MC's right. Am I right in assuming this, or have I just not read the dialogue correctly? If I've got it wrong would you be able to shed light on which way MC heads to get to the fork in the road?
NaturallyNeon
2025-05-07 23:44:20 +0000 UTCHI GB! I have an oddly specific question that you may not even be able to answer, and if not, that's okay. I listened to "Forest", and I couldn't help but notice that at around 0:31, there's a small section of the piece that sounds very similar to a section from the song "To Zanarkand" from Final Fantasy X. Again, I'm not sure if you can even answer this, since I know that you did not compose the music yourself, but I just had to ask if this was a total coincidence or an intentional homage (which would be really cool if true!). If you can't answer this question, I would like to instead ask another question; what would be the OL1 and OL2 leads' favorite films or genres (and the jerks and JB too, if possible)? Again, thank you for your time, even if you can't answer one or both of these questions, and thank you for your hard work and dedication (also I am a big reader so thank you to David for the transcripts)!

2025-05-07 23:40:31 +0000 UTCI’ve been following the development for a bit now, and I can say you are doing a fantastic job on the story, characters, artwork, music, pretty much everything about it. So, here is my question, although I’m not sure if it has been asked yet. Will disabilities be added to the game that you can have the Protag have, or at least some disabilities? Like for example, if they use a wheel chair, or deaf and require hearing aids, or need a cane to walk, or be partially-fully blind, that kind of thing. One other question I do have. Will there be an option to have the protag be mute? I think it would be interesting and also diversify the experience players will have while playing the game. I think pretty much every decision, you can have the protag not say anything, but the protag still talks outside of those decisions. I think it would be interesting if there was an option where you can have the protag be mute and have the protag not say any word entirely.

2025-05-07 23:38:46 +0000 UTCOnly joined the fandom recently but I have to say I am completely INVESTED!!! Only real questions is when do you think Our Life: Now and Forever will complete production? (Excluding DLCs). Ooo, and this one’s just out of curiosity but would you all ever consider revisiting OLBA? I know the last major update was in 2023 but I’m just curious. That’s all and good luck on production!!
GoldenGlitch
2025-05-07 21:46:11 +0000 UTCHello, I hope you are doing well.I wanted to ask what Baxter's opinions on orchestral concerts were during the different steps. Since he does ballroom dancing (to what I assume is classical music), would he find concerts enjoyable or would he find them boring? I could imagine him finding it uninteresting during step 1, and maybe find it quaint step 2. Would he enjoy it more is step 3/4 since he would get to dress in a fancy suit for a fancy concert hall?

2025-05-07 21:19:47 +0000 UTChi GB! hope you and the team are well🩵 thank you for such wonderful games and all your hard work throughout the years to make such lovely games! i wanted to ask, do you get writers block? and if so how do you overcome that? also what gives you inspiration for the plots of your games? i’ve recently been inspired to try my hand at writing a visual novel of my own but im a little lost on where to start haha! thank you again for all the joy you and your team always bring!
batman
2025-05-07 20:56:33 +0000 UTCHello!! I was just wondering what type of gift would Qiu and Tamarack make/get for mc in step one? Either for mc’s birthday or another holiday for example. I have a feeling that both Qiu and Tamarack would make something for mc but I’m not entirely sure and wanted to hear your thoughts. Another question I have is what is Tamaracks and Qiu’s favourite flowers if they have any? Also I hope you’re doing well and thank you for all your hard work!!
Imafrogribit
2025-05-07 20:17:11 +0000 UTCHello! Thank you all for your continual hard work!! Please stay well! I was just curious about a couple of little things; in OL1 a lot of the characters end up bowling especially in Baxter’s route but our sweet Cove is never around for these events so I was just wondering how he would fare at bowling? On a similar note, Tamarack was dropping cashews for the Boy’s club to catch but if she were catching how would she fare against the others? And Qiu seems very happy about his color pencils, how much is art of interest to them at that age? Also I’m not from the part of the country OL2 is set in and because summer is coming up, I wonder what type of weather Golden Grove has during the summer? Feel free to skip any questions if it’s too much! Have a great month!

These games have been a light through dark days and I cannot thank you enough for the joy they have brought up on me. My question is more related to your creative process, and sorry if it's already been answered before. Has any other medium inspired you during the creation of the steps or the overall feeling in both stories? Be it TV shows, movies, books, or even other games. Thank you <3

2025-05-07 18:19:33 +0000 UTCWhat are Serenity and Vianca up to in Step 1? Do they live in Golden Grove / go to the same school as MC and the LIs? What are they like as kids? Cove likes poppies in OL1; while I imagine there's no specific flower with sentimental value in OL2, do you have an idea of what kinds of flowers Tamarack and Qiu would generally like? Qiu and Tamarack both have consistently longer hair with the shortest being shoulder-length (which I assume was intentional as a contrast to OL1). Would either of them ever cut it shorter? As in traditionally masculine/"pixie cut" length We know Tamarack is a cis woman but I'm curious if she ever has a period of questioning/considering her gender identity? Considering she's around a lot of trans people and especially unsure of her identity in step 2. Is her being a woman something she's actively sure of or has she just never felt the need to question it? Are the OL2 LIs are more morning or night people? I'm not in the beta so I imagine some of these could've already been answered in-game, sorry about that
