It’s good shit. A shame Obsidian couldn’t pull off Outer Worlds to the same level. Hopefully OW2 lives up to it.

    Yeah, OW seemed to lack depth versus FNV, not just the guns. Not to say it was bad, they just set a high bar with FNV.

    And I still can't get over the guy running that company on the abandoned planet who's like "the board didn't follow their own rules! [several lines of dialogue later] But I have a plan that involves an elaborate mechanation of their rules!" And he's basically a good guy in the game and this position of his is not called out at all! :LIB:

      The radical centrism of the game was the most enthusiasm draining part for me, that and the corps never really come off as realistic villains but more as like, cartoon villains who do bad things but are also completely incompetent.

      Even the Legion seemed more realistic cause even if they are doomed to collapse because their leader is a fascist idealist who is holding together his faction by force of personality, that is something that could reasonably exist.

      Don't forget his counterpart, who is played up as some kinda revolutionary leader but who actually turns out to be a wrecking dunce who accidentally caused all the problems by his own Corporate muckraking
