The Outer Worlds is a new single-player first-person sci-fi RPG from Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division.

In The Outer Worlds, you awake from hibernation on a colonist ship that was lost in transit to Halcyon, the furthest colony from Earth located at the edge of the galaxy, only to find yourself in the midst of a deep conspiracy threatening to destroy it. As you explore the furthest reaches of space and encounter various factions, all vying for power, the character you decide to become will determine how this player-driven story unfolds. In the corporate equation for the colony, you are the unplanned variable.

Key Features

• 
  
• The player-driven story RPG: In keeping with the Obsidian tradition, how you approach The Outer Worlds is up to you. Your choices affect not only the way the story develops; but your character build, companion stories, and end game scenarios.
  
• You can be flawed, in a good way: New to The Outer Worlds is the idea of flaws. A compelling hero is made by the flaws they carry with them. While playing The Outer Worlds, the game tracks your experience to find what you aren't particularly good at. Keep getting attacked by Raptidons? Taking the Raptiphobia flaw gives you a debuff when confronting the vicious creatures, but rewards you with an additional character perk immediately. This optional approach to the game helps you build the character you want while exploring Halcyon.
  
• Lead your companions: During your journey through the furthest colony, you will meet a host of characters who will want to join your crew. Armed with unique abilities, these companions all have their own missions, motivations, and ideals. It's up to you to help them achieve their goals, or turn them to your own ends.
  
• Explore the corporate colony: Halcyon is a colony at the edge of the galaxy owned and operated by a corporate board. They control everything... except for the alien monsters left behind when the terraforming of the colony’s two planets didn’t exactly go according to plan. Find your ship, build your crew, and explore the settlements, space stations, and other intriguing locations throughout Halcyon.

Didn't like the art style
but still look interesting

I get the feeling this game will be soulless as fuck.

I've been getting this impression with Obsidian's games for a while now. It all has to do with the artstyle. Those ads on obsidian.net are just... not good.

Called it. Soulless garbage, all the wrong feelings. If this was Bethesda instead of Obsidian everyone would be shitting on it as "Oblivion on space".

 

[Viata]

I could expect anything but a Borderlands clone, holy shit.

 

[Curious_Tongue]

Where? Where can I see this?

I just saw the trailer

How disappointing.

 

[Seethe]

Pooper moleh

 

[frajaq]

Ok it looks a bit too borderland-y but it's fine I guess, still excited for it

 

[Goral]

The only good thing is the art but it won't be next Bloodlines, that's for sure. Looks like just another FPS.

 

[Don Peste]

Well... Mods will fix it?

 

[Tenebris]

Not too much of a fan of the art style. Definitely a wait and see for me.

 

[Safav Hamon]

The fuck are you guys talking about? Borderlands doesn't have skill checks.

 

[Wunderbar]

Well... Mods will fix it?

unreal engine 4, so no.

 

[Sigourn]

The fuck are you guys talking about? Borderlands doesn't have skill checks.

The only positive is that people actually look like people.

 

[Oracsbox]

I need to cogitate on this matter.
