You'll be able to romance some NPCs and your party can have up to 4 members.

Nice! This makes me even happier that I backed. :)

Having the option to romance makes it more enjoyable, immersive and makes characters feel more real.

Like the sound of that always adds more replay value to the game.

I've never understood why more modern RPGs don't include romance. It's very good that you will. Having someone to fight FOR other than yourself is a selling point.

I'm reading more and more good things about this game, keep it up.

Many of the removal of certain things in games these days can be directly traced to China's censorship laws governing what is acceptable video game content.

It is not even translated into Chinese. As far as I know not even planned to be translated.

I really dont think there are any conspiracy theories there.
Just your average "agile" project turning into the typical nightmare most of them do.
I mean this guys described the project as sort of agile and deliverables as a touch and go.....
There are some bugs that persisted from day one FFS....

Oh yes, but that's why it hasn't affected Encased like you see usually in many other titles.

DId you know that you now can't even put a human skull, or any sort of fluid coming off a human in any game sold in china? You can't even change the color of the blood in games like mortal kombat and call it 'sweat' or whatever, it's entirely against Chinese censorship rules. Just watch, games which intend to be marketed in china will be much more restrictive than they ever were before due to the CCP's influence. And that's not 'conspiracy', their rules are incredibly public and their effects can be seen in many many video games these days. Even STEAM is affected by them now.

I am aware of some of the Chinese restrictions..... I have been out of the loop for a while. But I visited China on business several times in 2013 2015 and 2016... Plus still consult in IT.
The conspiracy remark was regarding specifically Encased. Not China and honestly many other countries doubleing down on Orwell especially lately with the whole isolate at home thing and the rise of facial recognition and ♥♥♥♥ loads of data running through algorithms.

[zenstrata]

I just get bothered anytime I see any countries laws restricting what can actually be put into games (and china's rules are becoming increasingly egregious, and due to companies wanting that market share, they are just censoring everything for the rest of the world too). I miss the open playing field we had years ago for mostly unrestricted video game content, back when D&D was the biggest worry about corrupting our youth :P .

[MasterAeschylus]

Found some form of romance.... helped a female NPC into a vent... then had some sort of "romance". Not the traditional style I spose. Only thing so far... beside the male pimps near Beth's pub.

[Darx]

so with romance some npc does that mean real romance or more like a quicky for giving some canned beans?

[Frettchen]

How about same-sex romance?
just met a women who follows me now at the entrance of junktown (but she will leave after complete her quest right?)
and some people talk about crumps and ̶ ̶̶y̶̶o̶̶k̶̶o̶̶,̶̶ ̶̶s̶̶o̶̶ ̶̶y̶̶o̶̶k̶̶o̶̶ ̶̶s̶̶e̶̶e̶̶m̶̶s̶̶ ̶̶t̶̶o̶̶ ̶̶b̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶f̶̶e̶̶m̶̶a̶̶l̶̶e̶̶?̶̶ will she be romanceable or the fox mask dude ?

EDIT: nevermind, she is a damn weeb robot.
