Obsidian's upcoming sci-fi RPG, The Outer Worlds, was revealed at The Game Awards last week. If you've not set eyes on the game just yet, it's something of an homage to the Fallout series, developed by some of the series' original creators and by the team who made Fallout: New Vegas. It does, however, differ from the rest of the series in one key regard - you won't be able to get down and dirty with your companions.
That info comes from GameInformer, who published 15 minutes of The Outer Worlds gameplay to YouTube last week (you can check it out in full towards the bottom of this article). In that video, the RPG's party system, which allows you to have multiple companions at once, was discussed.
While you will be able to undergo special companion missions to improve your standing with your followers, you won't be able to take your relationship with them to the next level. GameInformer's Ben Reeves issues a pretty clear 'no' when asked if you'll be able to sleep with your closest NPC followers.
