Oh. So for the hardcore players then.

The whole expansion (4 acts) is playable only once you reach Legendary.

Why are the sidequests only available in Legendary difficulty?

Wow lol, it's been a year, I was so pumped from a short teaser trailer like everyone else, then they said 1st person and I was disappointed, then I watched the gameplay vids when it came out and was glad I didn't buy it, now after all this time I had basically forgotten about it. I hope they make a grand game out of it, but I am not sure people who play this game are ever going to get what we thought they would.

I can't be the only person who is happy with delays, I have so many games to play I don't mind them taking their time to do some more work on a project.

There is a demo available if you'd like to try for yourself.

There are mods, but Encased doesn't seem to be mod-friendly. From my experience, the crafting system is just fine, and you get a stash you can use to store all of the junk that you don't want to carry with you.

I don't know, I doubt there're a lot of mods for this game, being somewhat niche. I might have overstated the problem with weight limit, once you get a party it becomes reasonably high, especially if you got power armor. Also I don't think crafting is such a problem that the game should be avoided, it's pretty fun so far.

Are there mods? I know in the Witcher 3 I got a mod that made everything zero weight, except the armor and weapons.

crafting has been mostly forgettable in Encased. Wish the materials weren't so expensive
