The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition - Obsidian's first-person sci-fi RPG set in a corporate space colony

I don't feel you can properly judge this game unless you play on at least hard and you get off the first planet

 

[Dishonoredbr]

main location had 5 quests, secondary location had 2 quests and there were 2 main quests. that's it. for one planet.

calling it lazy is an euphemism.

Edgewater is this game's goodsprings. Low level skill checks , simple quests to show how games gonna be moving foward and a big decisions towards the ends.. A tutorial town.

So far after playing only for couple of hours i can tell that writing wise DE can relax. OW got the worst dialogues of all the Obsidian games. Caine? Boyarski? Come on!! Hopefully it will get better.

Maybe you should go read a book, you also never defined what is subjectively good

Played a few hours. Seems like New Vegas in space, which is exactly what I wanted and expected. Some mild stutter here and there and the health hotkey says 'E' on the HUD when I changed it to 'Z', but otherwise performs well and plays well. The visuals are "AA" but not bad, though the screen effects are annoying. Leave them on and its blurred and has weird lighting, turn them off and it looks neutered and flat. Hopefully some tweaks will be found to pick and choose settings.

these "people" have no functioning brains; they are just propaganda spitters.

He mentioned DE, so I assume he already did go and read a book.

Disco Elysium is 90 on metacritics with a "must play" tag. Outer Worlds is 86 and no tag.

Everything is right in this world

The reactivity in conversations is pretty extensive. Lots of minor things are checked.

Good to see you trust video game critics. I assume you think all of these games are trash?

You dont stand, the game is so good it was destined to be recognized and put on the pedestal regardless of critics.

It's a speech check with no gameplay

LoL love their new dismemberment system. Remember how in the good old new vagas you had to go full on on a limb to blow it off?? Well now we are past such scrubby thing, Just shoot them a few times and every limb rockets out like in a old mecha anime!

Apparently there was no bloody mess perk in fallout

You're also holding a combat shotgun, maybe one of the pellets hit a leg

I don't feel you can properly judge this game unless you play it at least seven times.

there, fixed

Played around starter planet. Love the character creator I enjoy making crazy ugly characters. Stat system done well your build determines if you take a more aggressive or careful approach to combat. Seems like a cleaner better new vegas.

You bring your companion to different places and you get to unlock dialogue options otherwise you won't have.

Yes but are there more places where the difficulty ramps up? So far all reports point to the whole game being full of easy skill checks.

Enemies do a ton of damage, I'm using heavy armor modded + tinkered on to my level and still often get a solid 70-80% of my health taken away in a single hit.

Considering you can kill anything without ever investing in gun skills or defence, I'd say everyone would pass everything starting midgame easily.

And the quests and writing... really doesn't feel like cainarsky had much to do there...
