Whats the deal with curdle? Isn't it a spherical planet of sorts? if so, then why can't we explore the surface and instead have to descend towards the core.

The knights have power armor that stores mist, so i assume this power armor has some rad resist right? so why not go explore the wastelands bro?

Also, are all the knights in the game meant to be adrogynous as to prevent gender bias? because we can just make knights and call them something overtly feminine.
