Does NTE have a romance system? Can you date characters?

Short answer: NTE seems to have relationship and companionship content, but it is safer not to flatten that into a fully confirmed traditional dating system. What most players actually want to know is whether there are clear intimacy or affinity mechanics, and whether those mechanics matter for progression.

The practical answer is:

1. There appears to be relationship-building content with some emotional closeness

2. It seems more relevant to immersion and character attachment than to combat strength or mandatory progression

3. Players should treat it as a relationship feature with possible romantic tone in parts, not as proof of a full dating-route framework

So this page now prioritizes expectation-setting over repeating older confirmation-style wording.
