If all you have to do is look in the eye of a replicant to tell they're not human...there's no investigation to be had. They talked a fair amount in that hour-long interview about various ways to detect replicants. If it were as easy as looking in the eye, I doubt they'd not mention it. I don't remember that being in Blade Runner 2049. It was in two of the short films that bridge the original and 2049. Here's to hoping they exclude that.If that's their thinking then they don't understand doing a nostalgia product. I mean, they didn't eschew the horror in Aliens, so clearly they're smart enough to not mangle the franchise they're trying to capitalize on. No idea why they'd suddenly shy away from the franchise they're trying to capitalize on.Then I need to cancel my pledge. I'm not buying a Blade Runner game so I can not do Blade Runner the game.Add don't subtract. You can easily do Blade Runner plus all the related things you mention without subtracting doing actual Blade Runner.Yeah...less icky is not what this franchise or game is about. They're even upfront about it on the Kickstarter. "Content Warning! The Blade Runner franchise deals with dark and existential themes, and this roleplaying game is no different. The stories told in this game can be violent, distressing, and raise issues relating to personal morals. This is not a game for children."I really hope not.Yeah. Absolutely.It sure was pretty to look at.</blockquote>
