That's pretty cute! They managed to make them lewk unique by just changing the skin tone, texture, makeup, hair and accessories even tho they share similar facial features

BTW, who would have thought, an actually well-written preview which says combat sucks. I thought these were just the unsubstantiated rants of pretentious codexers. What a shock.

If only Obs added more recoil to those guns, this journo would have been in love with the combat but now he just finds it generic

10 ¥ for me, 5 if you did't get the XGP before, could buy half a loaves of bread if you are lucky.

Bringing the Characters of The Outer Worlds to Life
  • SAT 08/31 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM
  • RAVEN THEATRE
Obsidian Entertainment has a long history of building narratively compelling worlds and characters for its RPGs, and that style of writing is on full display in The Outer Worlds. Megan Starks (Senior Narrative Designer), Carrie Patel (Senior Narrative Designer), and Kate Dollarhyde (Narrative Designer) break down what it means to create characters for the game from how they should fit in the world, what their personality should be, how they should interact with other characters, and how to give them life with a performance. Moderated by Andrea Rene, Co-Founder of What’s Good Games, this panel will explore how Obsidian Entertainment writers go about bringing their characters to life, and will show off an exclusive look at what players can expect to see and do when Obsidian Entertainment and Private Division release The Outer Worlds on October 25.

Matt's interview had quite important confirmation, the dev confirmed that you can complete the game as a pacifist. I think Tim heard people asking a lot if would be possible to do a pacifist run during their interviews and actually add to the game. Or maybe not idk.

Edit: The last video was deleted.. :C

*Every developer's dream is to work on an original IP. Only at Obsidian we will have managed to squander two three chances of that.*
*Mention Tyranny as "our own IP"*

:nocountryforshitposters:

I welcome all the promises of dark humor and irony, they seem to be the only thing that can save this game.

After watching all of the gameplay footage there is of this game, my opinion of it is slightly improving. I still do feel like this game lacks originality, but after having played FNV for the millionth time, i think i wouldn't mind a clone with a derivative skin.
