Last week I posted about an XCOM 2 mod that let squadmates gain stat buffs by bonding with each other over time, a la Fire Emblem. I concluded my post with the question on everyone’s mind: “When can my XCOM 2 soldiers start smooching and get married?” The answer: now.
RealityMachina’s Bonding and Time Travellers mod is the natural conclusion to their previous Squad Cohesion mod… well, if you’re a Fire Emblem fan, anyway. It lets soldiers hook up and produce not-at-all-alarming insta-children. No waiting nine months or stocking the nursery with a glistening arsenal of kid-friendly plasma weapons.
Heck, you don’t even have to endure the magic (and nonstop trainwreck) of raising a child. If soldiers are sufficiently into each other, they can just pop out a full-grown human (???) adult on the spot. Here’s how it works:
Go to a soldier in the Armory, click on Find a bondmate. If anybody meets the requirements, click on them, click through the resistance communications thing (it’s basically a dummy alert to do all the magical kid stuff), then exit out of the armory. You’ll notice the number of soldiers has gone up, go back, and find the new kid waiting to be promoted to Squaddie in the menu, with two additional cross class abilities from their parents (or psionic/lightning reflexes if the parents weren’t the base 4 classes) by default.
So there you go: babies. Giant, muscular babies who are immediately skilled in the arts of war and — upsetting as it is to consider — love-making. Thanks, mods.
Now then, since I’m one-for-one on this, I’m gonna make another request: Can I get some dating sim elements in XCOM 2? Heck, while we’re at it, why not a face-petting minigame?

Yesssssssss. NOW KITH *smooshes Sniper and Heavy together*
Be nice if there was a mod where your squad members patched the game so it doesn’t run like shite, Firaxis seemingly have no intention to do so.
Imagine if combining 2 high level soldiers made a super-soldier child “Sniper/Assault” or “Heavy/Ranger” all in one, that would be epic!
or child that had high expectations from his/her parents and didnt deliver… went to the dark side
