Gather your questions for an Outer Worlds leads interview

[Jenkem]

What is Feargus's favorite Cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory?

 

[Tweed]

Will there be keybinds?

 

[orcinator]

Inoffensive babby question: Why does it need to take 9 seconds to open a door in a safe area and can the timer be sped up if you don't care about stealth and/or spending skillpoints to waste less time. Also why does it seem like the enemies have incredibly short detection ranges.

real question: Why does the combat and the general feel of the gameplay look incredibly similar to Bethesda's gamebryo?

 

[Shackleton]

Nice simple question:

Because it's Obsidian and being tagged as 'from the original creators of Fallout', a lot of people are imagining this as the next Fallout: New Vegas. Are you happy for people to have that expectation about this game, or should people expect a different sort of experience?

 

[Funposter]

What do Megan Starks' feet smell like?

 

[Space Satan]

Will there be enemy level scaling?

 

[HoboForEternity]

Can we kill or our companions betray us if they dont like us?

How many if any, the main factions are, or at least if there are faction mechanics as in new vegas or deadfire.

 

[AwesomeButton]

why do the women all look like unattractive dykes?

A developer would always answer this with "I don't know, they look pretty nice to me".

You will have to work hadrer for quality troll questions.

 

[conan_edw]

What kind of a threshold is there to have the dumb options? Is it limited to INT or it's a perk?

Are quests designed so that you can run into them while exploring the hubs ala Fallout/Arcanum or they are Mass Effect-y in the since that ADA will assign them to you and drop you off some place to start investigating? (This could be a huge deal breaker if everything is similar to the shown gameplay)


Can quest markers be turned off and depend on information given by npcs and such?

 

[AwesomeButton]

Some questions are good but will need the "Dr. Strangelove" miss Scott treatment.

 

[Jimmious]

Will we be able to see all content in one play-through or different characters will mean different quest-lines etc?

Will our character become a "jack of all trades" after enough time or do we need to - somewhat, at least - specialize?

Do we have influence over the equipment/combat behavior of our followers/party members?

Is there level-scaling and if so, how much? Can we run into enemies we can't defeat?

 

[Bocian]

Will there be any attempts to make the plot lines and character designs be a parallel to modern day political situation? If yes, for what purpose?
(I try not to use any buzzwords, but this question needs to be asked.)

 

[TheImplodingVoice]

Do we get to kill dirty communists?

One could only hope. But one of the Xes or Xirs at Obisdian might get offended.

 

[AwesomeButton]

We did get a rather "Orientalist" perspective on the Huana in Deadfire, so I don't see having leftists cast in the role of "bad" as that implausible.

 

[Jenkem]

Ask why they aren't shilling it on the Codex! TimCain

Spoiler

I mean directly, not through an infinitron proxy

 

[Jinn]

Ask why they aren't shilling it on the Codex! TimCain

All you need to do is look at TOW thread to know why Tim Cain doesn't post around here: it'd be a threat to his job. Same goes for many other developers. It's too bad on both ends - that they can't come here to talk about game development because it could become a threat to their reputation/career, and that people around here can't tone it down just a little bit (at least in game discussion) to nurture such an atmosphere. In the end, games and their industry suffer as a result.

 

[TemplarGR]

Will it have gay transexual romances? For example, will i be able to start with a male character, make a sex change operation, and date females as a trans female character?

 

[Catfish]

Question one. Show us the character creation sheet so we can scrutinize it and make foregone conclusions about gameplay.

Question two. Is this game secretly making the House ending of NV canon via a cleverly hidden easter egg? Blink once for yes, twice for double yes.

 

[moon knight]

Can our character become a pornstar?

Will the dialogue tree allow to express our character's opinions or will it be the classic info dumping tool?

 

[Forest Dweller]

Actually, yes, what I'm most curious about now is character creation and the skills breakdown.

 

[pomenitul]

why do the women all look like unattractive dykes?

Spoiler

 

[Forest Dweller]

Also, OP, is this a legit thing in the works are you just making a thread?

 

[Haba]

Are you bottom or top?

Bears or otters?

Do you recommend Bad Dragon products?

Do you think you'll ever make a good game?

 

[ArchAngel]

Can you implement Gun Kata into the game?

 

[Efe]

how many skill are there in game?
how many different weapon types and do they also branch between themselves?
why does the demo gameplay look soooo slow?
