It’s good shit. A shame Obsidian couldn’t pull off Outer Worlds to the same level. Hopefully OW2 lives up to it.
Hopefully, but tbh I just remember not thinking the world was of any real interest and the guns felt kinda dull.
I did find the trot parody character pretty funny at least so it wasnt all bad.
Honestly all the weapons were super dull. I tried playing a melee character for kicks and do you care to know how many melee weapons there are, excluding special variants which are like, somewhat better reskins? Something like 8-9 models in each category maybe? The uniques aren't even that unique, really, just a slightly different color reskins with better stats
Outer Worlds was incredibly underwhelming, with some whiffs of insteresting ideas here and there but none of them are really committed to
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
Nah the Philosophists are based and massacring corporate leaders is poggers
FNV is so much worse. The gunplay is legitimately broken. VATS is a joke. The story is pretty good, but you have to go through a bunch of bullshit to get anywhere and the endings are all kind of :LIB:
I can't remember the name but on one of the planets you basically meet some anti-corporate revolutionaries and have to side with either their leader or the person organizing everything. The leader basically just wants you to go risk lives and resources for printing presses and shit to produce theory and the organizer lady wants you to get actual supplies to fight the corporations like medicine and shit.
Its not like a super explicit parody but I always joke with my friends about it since a couple of us were part of a local trot org for like a few months and they were about that obsessed with selling papers and pamphlets.
I will die on the hill that it was the absolute wrong engine for the game it wanted to be (though the right engine for the game Fallout 3 wanted to be), and New Vegas in something like the Wasteland 2/3 engine would have been a much much better game.
:troll: I WON'T PLAY FALLOUT NV I WON'T PLAY FALLOUT NV

JE Sawyer needs to be on the OW2 team. Because I will never play pillars of eternity.
Agreed. OW was fine, but slightly disappointed me since I expected greatness. Will definitely play 2 though
Outer Worlds as a story and characters was alright, but the gunplay, exploration, levelling and looting were all so bland that I just gave up part of the way through because the story wasn't enough to motivate me to finish it
