Can a brother get that in text form?

Story


- Government abandoned second colonization effort and left a bunch of people frozen in cryo ships around the universe

- The scientist dude wants to liberate the cryo people

- You are one of the cryo people the scientist dude saves

- You can help scientist dude spy on the government or betray him to the government

Gameplay

- You choose a job at character creation which gives you several perks and flaws

- The player character has the ability to freeze time

- The story allows for a pacifist and genocide playthrough

- Dialogue skills are persuasion, intimidation, and lying

- You can increase your attributes or skills each level. Every two levels you get a perk.

- World exploration is similar to Fallout 1 + 2

- It's not as long as similar games. Plays like an FPS version of the first two Fallout games

In what way is world exploration similar to F1 and 2? Travel between hub zones that you need to discover first ?

Didn't know Feargas takes care of his teeth as much as he does of his employees. Pardon, Microsoft's employees now
As time passes he more and more resembles Slug Baron. Physical and spiritual resemblance is truly uncanny
For game itself all I can do is hope that Microsoft came to the rescue on time and prevented Feargas from creatively suffocating project. We'll see, we'll see...

I just hope Epic stay the fuck away from it and don't make it another stupid exclusive.

I already have to give up on Metro Exodus because of this.

Well, so the writing will apparently be non-pretentious. Tim and Leonard have made the right choice, unlike Josh. This has all prospects of being a fun romp with C&C and replayability. Who cares how short it is. I'm optimistic based on what I hear.

This looks too much like Borderlands.
:decline:
And I'm sure it will be mediocre at best, targeted on progressive crowd, dumbed down for "accessibility" with LGBTQ+ themes and other "progressive" elements to appease genderpecial liberal 25-35 year olds (who usually never even play games). So far, not even Tim and Leo involvement feels me with hope, and certainly not screenshots, game's writers, and experience with newer Obsi games. Certainly not Bloodlines revival or anything close. I would be happy if it will be even as buggy as KOTOR2, but at least with a story half as good as KOTOR 2 one. Or even if it will have just good exploration, and environmental storytelling, and also tactical combat. But I really, really doubt even that. :negative:

Borderlands style combat is not that bad for this type of game, western action RPGs never really matched actual FPSs in terms of gameplay - having such expectations for this title is plainly unrealistic.

I will honestly be impressed if Obsidian manages to reach Borderlands given their previous attempts at shooters.

Wonder what short means. 20, 30 hour? Can't be less I think.
I'm guesing Bloodlines length, maybe 25-30 hours.

I think it means 15 hours maximum, maybe even less.
