Leonard says all the anti-corporation stuff is dropped; other colonies are run in different ways. They're still intent on including loads of humor and examining power structures. He also claims there will be no commentary on current political issues under his watch, lib writers no doubt seething once again.

Says there will be greater emphasis on factions and long-term reactivity in comparison to the first one, trying to be more like New Vegas.

Something that's going to disappoint a lot of you: All possible options you can choose will be visible and greyed out in the dialogue menus allowing you to leave and fulfill those conditions to get the outcome you want. They really want the masses to know what all their options are at all times.

No one gives a fuck about that.
Show me the perks.

Behind you.

See, this is a decent thing. The whole "corporations are the real evil" stuff is beating a dead horse as this point. Imagine the old Star Trek show if every planet they beamed down to, it was an evil corporation. Or if every alternate Earth in Sliders was just some evil corporation to deal with. Or Stargate: SG-1 and the Goa'uld were CEOs of corporations on each planet they gated to. At some point, it's not a bad idea to do something creative. Maybe not even creative, but different. There's no reason why different colonies couldn't have developed in their own independent yet weird ways.

More than enough reasons for you to stop shilling this, then.

WOW thank you Infinitron for this awesome piece of news, I can't wait to play Outer Worlds 2 and experience how much it improved upon the first game with the new queer and bisexual companions.

They finally realized colonies can have different vibes? Congrats on discovering writing 101. Maybe by 2300 they will learn to use colors and shapes

So is anyone other than Roguey interested in this?

Infinitron is just doing it for himself like he admitted to me via PM. He legit loves mainstream slop and also posts about Marvel movies coming out. Hilarious that the guy posting news on a niche RPG forum is the lowest pleb of them all.

Very excited about this. The game looks phenomenal. The Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed prove that Obsidian is the best studio out there when it comes to art direction. These locations look so vibrant and lively, you immediately feel immersed just by looking at them. Thanks for keeping us updated Infinitron!

He should make a new RPG site called rpgslop.net where he could post everything about Obsidian

Wait, are we talking about Infinitron or Chris Avellone? :P

We already know about your grudge against Avellone and how you smear him in every discussion. I wasn't talking about that, just Infinitron.
