The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition - Obsidian's first-person sci-fi RPG set in a corporate space colony

[Dishonoredbr]

No. Defense in general is pretty useless, with the only worthwhile thing being investing into Block for the extra armor passive IF and only IF you're a melee-only character.

I find pretty fun to jump like a crazy man dodging rocks from those gorillas, dodge backwards to dodge melee enemies and TTD feels good. Shooting enemies in the legs feels good.

So, should we add Tim and Leonard to the ever growing pile of has beens or write it off as simply Obsidian's incompetency tarnishing their reputation?

I like the second option more

Three hundred eighty nine pages long thread is testimony of Codex's love for drama, inability to move on from their -exes and brand loyalty


Stubbornly stay the same, Codex

Infinitron where is the launch thread?

There are apparently several game files referring to the game as Indiana. Obsidian's game files don't usually refer to their project names, right?

its a petty though that from the 400 pages only about 20 contain anything usefull about the game,rest are the usual "women/blacks/jews destoyed my life heres why".
also no steam forums.

I've read some posts about the game not looking particularly good. Well, it seems it looks absolutely beautiful

Yes I also think about exploring everything only at night because during day it is all so garish my eyes bleed out.

Think it's 50/50.

What saddens me is how derivative it all feels. Overall theme, mechanics and even them terminals... They really wanted to make another Fallout game, but used Beth's template for some reason while stripping away what little good it had (open world, modability). Writing is where it could have won some points, but it's the usual Obsidian by-the-numbers fare instead. Movement is floaty, gunplay is non-existent. It even looks off, like whoever did the lighting might have fucked it up or something, can't quite put my finger on it, but it has that Demo Project look from UE/Unity. Not to mention characters that look like they inherited that Gamebryo chromosome.

The whole thing is just puzzling to me. Why bother leaving AAA top dogs if you are going to make the same uninspired drivel.

Did my customary one hour test playthrough. Three niggles:

1) Character creation interface isn't flexible enough. I want to be able to adjust attributes and see how they change the skills on the same screen.
2) What FOV should I use? >_> I hate having to make this choice.
3) Framerate is maybe a bit sluggish on my GTX 970 on Ultra, but eh.

Anyway for the character creation I made this quick & dirty table: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1i2dBOu49112zyBWv9tnP3xQvq--vZ_6-E41Tb-q6g80/

I guess what you should do is prioritize the skills you want and then improve the attributes with the best spread across those skills.

2) What FOV should I use? >_> I hate having to make this choice.

Usually anything between 85-90 FOV is my preferred setting. The higher the number the more you'll be able to see on screen. It's mainly a setting to help people manager their motion sickness that manifests on low FOV games.

wtf is wrong with character faces and lips when they are talking

Spun it up. This game feels extremely 2010, except more lesbian. Like the FONV team spent the last decade tripping on mushrooms, finally ran out of bagels, and had to slap together another one. Not sure yet whether and in what measure this is good or bad.

 

[Sigourn]

The inability to mod this game is going to be its doom for hardcore players.

 

[Dishonoredbr]

So far, it's pretty good. Quest design is almost as good as back in FNV so far (the first town of TOW is better than Goodsprings), expect that it don't have Beyond the Beef style side quest so far. Feels like FNV but with a much more enjoyable combat, not amazing combat tho..

Seems you can change a lot of the UI elements pretty easily for the MS version.

Go to:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\PrivateDivision.TheOuterWorldsWindows10_hv3d7yfbgr2rp\LocalCache\Local\Indiana\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

Then open GameUserSettings.ini. Everything in there is just an on or off (true or false) switch.

Example:

So far I have removed awareness icons, and healthbars. Trying to find the hit marker thing.

Edit:

Okay, it seems "hitmarkers" are connected to the aiming cross-hair, so if you wanna get rid of hit markers you have to disable the whole thing.

AimingReticleMode=Off

Fortunately you can still aim with iron-sights so shouldn't be much trouble.

If something is in the game, we should have the right to discuss it in the game thread.

The alternative looks like this:

California: We are going to turn all women into ugly dykes! Fuck cisgendered white males!
White Males: WTF..
California: You actually care about petty things like how women look in a game?! LOL!

Need I point out how absurd such a situation would be? On the other hand, Alinsky would be proud.

If by discuss you mean REEEEeee about hairstyles, talking about how SJW is shit and posting the same picture 30 times.. I wouldn't mind not having a ''discussion''

Truly white males are the most oppressed race.
