The Outer Worlds Pre-Release Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

One thing I find curious it the presence of at least two Perks that only work if you don't have companions. A +stealth Perk and a +diplomacy Perk! Interesting that lone wolf playthroughs are encouraged even though companion quests are supposed to be this big thing.

Player choice, baby.

I wish I could see some of this decision making they were talking about, and I wish I could see some multiple mission solutions.

I'm not sure you can even show decisions in a way that genuinely makes sense? You'd be missing most of the context and without context decisions are just a coin toss. Other than confirming decision-making exists (do we really expect it not to?)...it would mean nothing to you.

As for multiple mission solutions, GiantBomb preview had extensive look at one of the missions in the pig factory.

First you had to get past factory guards and there was a number of ways to do that (bluff your way in, buy a forged ID, guns blazing and I think stealth).

Then once inside there were several ways to approach the mission. Again, stealth, sabotage, talk, guns blazing. Then when you get to your mission target, he tries to flip you over to his side, and you can do that or you can lie to him and kill him later.

Overall the choices on offer seemed pretty extensive and the classic triad of stealthy-talky-murderhobo options seems to be present in a lot of quests.

Carrie must has written Sanjar and Celia!

Well both , Sanjar and Celia, was quite entratinning to hear and their quests seems nice too. I hope there's more to them than just this two quests.

Zombra watch the PlayStation video in Edgewater

What other fps rpgs do we have with great combat?

Great? None. E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy has good combat, though.

I know some people will be displeased with Bell being in charge of the soundtrack.

Outer Worlds certainly isn't going to have better music than New Vegas.

I hate every NPC and companion I saw yet. God, this is bland. We're in space and all we get is Joe and Jane Average. Like ... not even an alien companion? Are there no alien species in the Outer Worlds? Dissapointed in that department.

The aliens are the creatures you kill. Nothing wrong with a space setting where humans are the only things that can talk.

Looking at this perk screen really makes me appreciate Vault Boy.

This video actually shows the game in the light I wanted to see it in:

Decent women drinking alcohol is highly inappropriate, especially in advertisements.

Five Things I Learned Playing The Outer Worlds

1. Your expectations are probably right
This is an open-world, sci-fi RPG

Oh, that's good to know. It's so nice to be informed by Game Informer's Senior Balding Soyface With Glasses.

I hope it sells well so Bethesda have something to worry about for a change.

 

[the mole]

game looks pretty good, weapons felt satisfing, crafting looks important, new vegas in space, really liked that planet with the pig factory

 

[cvv]

The gunplay looks so bad this is prolly another melee-ftw game.

 

[Terenty]

I though people on this board were supposed to have high standards when it comes to rpgs, but seeing so many optimistic posts about this abortion of a game makes me wonder if its true.

Watch 50 mins of Game Informer walkthrough without commentary and tell me it doesn't look like a fucking MMO from 2005. Its beyond embarrassing.

And as i i said before the writing is the definition of blandness and boredom. How untalanted and unimaginative one must be to come up with something like Nyoka and her quest?

I'm starting to believe Obsidian is filled with the most inept people in gamedev

Ron Jeremy as NPC. Now that's something.

 

[Yosharian]

Ron Jeremy as NPC. Now that's something.

This looks... really boring.

 

[Zer0wing]

Ron Jeremy as NPC. Now that's something.

Doesn't look too immersive. Either it's due to Urine Engine 4s piss poor renderer or level designers cramming everything together so much it becomes like a movie decoration or part of a theme park. And not a good one. An FO4 Nuka-World DLC one.

Have they introduced the rest of the companions yet or are we stuck with the awful ones?

The rest will be as awful you can bet on it

Anyone notice the cute Fallout reference

 

[Whipped Cream]

Its not a Fallout reference. The Great War is what most people in the United Kingdom called world war 1 until the 1940s. The term "the world war" started being used by the United States around the time when they entered the war. People didn't start calling it world war 1 untill world war 2 had gotten well underway, for obvious reasons.
