A line of dialogue might be insufficient to judge the writing as a whole.

altho the phrasing is weird

The line that's already been spoken (You're powerful free with...) could come straight out of Firefly... space/western pastiche.

Some ideas to throw around:
Companions are nice, but isn't it time to add the ability to swap control to your companion?
At the very least that will allow players to experience a different playstyle without rerolling.

E.g
I took charismatic pistol guy and bring along a sniper companion.
Prior to engaging, I switch control to the companion. And snipe a few guys off while ordering my protag to 'stand ground.'
At least that'd be something than Boone doing the whole 'the last thing you'll never see' routine over n over again in FNV.
Or maybe bringing a super hacking guy lets you take control of him to sneak around and hack a turret instead of relying on retarded AI to do proper pathfinding.

It is good to see that writing in this game lives up to the highest standards of the game industry.

"You're are powerful free with that tongue of yours" is almost as good as "So you fight the Good Fight with your voice on Galaxy News Radio"!

Yeah its weird at first look but its written for VA. I can imagine hearing it & it being not weird :P

Obsidian, Obsidian never changes. They finally got the chance to make their dream AAA game and it's a cross between Fallout 4, Borderlands and No man's sky. What a banal, boring art style. :negative:

I love the idea of post-Microsoft Obsidian making an RPG about the original settlers being pushed to the fringes by a rapacious corporation. RPGs have been waiting for their Shakespeare, and may still wait, but at least they have their Solzhenitsyns!

I share your sentiment. However, IHaveHugeNick is right in that they guessed right what the general audience might like now, especially given the complete disaster which was Fallout 76. Chances are high that the game will sell very well. Feargus should be happy.

Watched the trailer. Same old shit. They ran out of fresh ideas? Will pass on it.
