Listen, it was an elaborate plan to pick up a girl. It worked and the sex was unbelievable.3, 2, 1, Smurf!: My First Racing Game (don't laugh)

- Elminage Original
- Deepest Chamber: Resurrection

What's your opinion on SW: Outlaws?
That does sound good. Playing a squishy character instead of a Jedi or Sith is far more interesting, imho. I don't care about the sex/race of the protag; gameplay is king. I'll put it on the to-do list. Thanks!What's your opinion on SW: Outlaws?
Well, it unironically feels like a game that was aimed at me. I grew up with OT Star Wars and was a huge fan, I like open world games - generally speaking, and I'm not often offended by female protagonists (cf. Princess Leia).
That being said, it does have a few irritating or weak points, though I think some are things that are things that can take some getting used to such as keyboard and mouse controls are pretty good, but you might have to tweak some of the sensitivity values and whether or not you want mouse control for things like speeder steering to suit your preferences, but before you get used to it and tweak things in a way that suits you, it might irritate the shit out of you and feel janky af.
There are actual bugs that I assume will be patched out if they haven't already such as enemies spawning on top of one another like has been shown in some of those glitch laugh reels. I think that has something to do with reloading, like if you get caught on a stealth scenario and kicked out, then the area reloads. I think it does something like spawns new enemies without despawning the old ones. Not sure if it still happens, but it is a thing that was happening.
All that aside, if you are into a game that's more about being immersive in a Star Wars galaxy, I think it's something you'd enjoy. If you're more into gamey things such that it'll piss you off if they're not there, then maybe not or at least wait for discounts. For instance, Kay (the PC) sneaks a lot and doesn't have many abilities because she's a Star Wars protagonist scoundrel and therefore isn't a villain, or crazy, doesn't gun down random people just because, and is fairly grounded with abilities that are similar to what you might see in a Star Wars movie.
Her progression is mostly about getting new gadgets or tweaking her ship, speeder, and general loadout. However, like Han Solo, though she might do something like modify her blaster, she's not going to go all Doom guy and start picking up rocket launchers and blaster rifles and shit. She might grab something someone drops, then use it for a bit and then it'll get dumped pretty quickly after, just like the only time you see Han Solo use anything other than his DL-44 is for a bit in ANH on the Death Star, and that bit in TFA where he uses Chewie's bowcaster.
There is no XP system or anything like that, progression is based on making contacts, building or losing reputation with factions, finding stuff, and modifying it. Minigames like arcade games, gambling on races, playing cards, etc. are all nicely done and I even like the lockpicking and slicing minigames. It basically feels like being on a Star Wars adventure with your lizard dog buddy.
If that sounds appealing to you, I recommend the game as a Star Wars fan. If it doesn't, then maybe not. I kicked in for the expensive early access edition and haven't regretted it at all, fwiw.
EDIT: Oh I forgot to add: there are various ways to approach different scenarios and how NPCs react to you is dependant on your faction reputation. It's fairly easy to game, mind you, but still it's a nice touch. It's more of an Uncharted style action adventure with a few immersive sim elements than anything. I'd love to see these guys do a sequel and maybe dial up some of the shooting elements like from the Division games or something.

I'm not offended by female protagonists either, but what I am offended by is that god damn hair style of hers. What in a flying fuck is that? Looks like some weird shit from 70's disco era.
Yeah, I can accept the hair because I know it's part of that '70s style of the OT. But the color... With skin that dark and Mexican features, the hair should be darker.I like open world games - generally speaking, and I'm not often offended by female protagonists (cf. Princess Leia)

You watched the original movies, right?
Nevermind the neon bar sign aesthetic of the game's title logo. It's clearly a thing they leaned into.
You always have the most bizarre criticisms, they crack me up. Anyway, sure. Ask for a hair dye/dye remover DLC or something.
