Murder is common in video games. 1000's of them. I've never seen a game where incest is intentional.
crusader kings 2, pokemon (you can breed two pokemon that came from the same mother or father for better stats), the sims 2 (strange town) and even ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ harvest moon:wonderful life and those are just four examples of incest you can trigger theres is plenty more and there is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of games where incest has happened ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in the backstory like fire emblem, fallout 3 (in point lookout and in andale) just go check google if you want more examples

besides if you have a girlfriend who is the same nationality and culture etc. as you there is a very high chance your distantly related as an example roughly 0.5% of men in the world are descendants of genghis khan 0.5 may not sound like much but that is roughly 16 MILLION men all descended from one man and there are many more cases like this many people are distantly related without knowing... hell. you could be an incest baby a distantly related incest baby but still...

The game is gritty and is a portrayl of the worst human behavior in a survivalist scenario. Weak minds will break...

That's cool and all. I just thought it was a game about space colony simulation.

It is a game about space colonies and the stories that are made from them, how is it just because there is stuff like what mordbane said make it not one?

I really don't understand what's the problem there.

I have no issue with the addition of incest for the colonists as it happens IRL... however why did they remove incest from animals? Now I do know that mammals try to avoid incest however in the absence of another mate animals including mammals do practice incest.

I would understand if it was simply to balance the game as it's a game however tynan typically does stuff for realism. So this throws me off.

it was done for game balance, now animals wont explode in numbers as easy as before.

Do they gouge thier eyes out after they find out?

I have a character in my current game that's gotten her left ear and left toe frozen off - she's got a severe heart problem and got her ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ eye shot out; but no. No of course the incest thing is the horrible.
*lol*

Or how about that one game where my dog lost 3 legs to a explotion and there was a blood trail from the incident (as well as blood EVERYWHERE) to home - and a bloody room that was once he got home..

But no, the incest is bad. Can't have that.

Similiar situation happened in Dwarf Fortress some very long time ago.
Veterans will immideatly recognise this word: CATSPLOSION

1) Dwarves like to have cats as their pets
2) They very quickly bond with cats
3) Any dwarf will be VERY upset if bonded animal dies
4) Cats reproduce VERY quick
5) In less than a year, population of cats is bigger than population of dwarves in five times.
This is the point where you either maintain situation or situation consumes you completely - point of no return.
6) At this point, you should either have built or at least arranged building of cat-press
7) Build a hole, with small drenage system for blood to escape and drawn bridge over it.
8) Designate the hole as animal area for non-bonded cats
9) Lower the bridge, smashing cats under it
10) Collect meat and skin
11) Repeat every day.

Seeing the dev added human incest why doesn't he add rapists?
Russian Sly Jul 16, 2016 @ 2:38pm 
Speaking of cat-press, you can even improve this construct by building it on top of 40-story tower and using the whole height of it as drenage tunnel. The drenage ends at main gates to the fortress, with hatch being closed for most of the time.

What happens there.
1) Blood accumulates in the drenage system
2) The more it accumultes, the more pressure it creates
3) When enemy sieges the main gates, open the hatch
4) Watch enemies drown in cat blood.


So, yeah, I still dont really get what's the big deal with incest.

... What the ♥♥♥♥ dude - I mean.. It could be debated but Incest and rape - on their own are not related at all.
They're different things entirely.
Why.
What.
Dude.
