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

Farewell young Prince into the night

Imagine if in an alternate timeline, Tim Cain had stayed on to finish Fallout 2. The resulting masterclass crpg would have ushered in world peace, cured Fluent's testicular cancer, and freed Zep's yam plantation slaves by instead fueling his Zimbabwean mansion with sustainable, clean energy derived from the massive wealth of resulting incline.

Instead we get this mass-marketed filth, Fluent gets banned and Zep remains at large.

Wonder if Cainarsky watched this and felt ashamed of themselves...

PS: that corporate ending stuff is the dumbest shit I've ever heard as far as RPG narrative conclusion go, bethesda games included. And here I was complaining about how the same thing happening didn't make any sense in the pickle rick ending... seems I haven't seen shit. Guess it would take at least 16 playthroughs to dig all this dumb shit out of this game.

Nope Cainarsky is happy that he made something that sells.I remember him saying in a interview that he has not played bloodlines whatsoever thanks to the horrible crunch memories.
But,it doesn't mean you have to make the most boring mediocre game in order to sell.
Obsidian could have easily made a aa budget game with some nice ideas instead of a soulless fallout new vegas clone.

Wooow. I turned the HUD off pretty early in the game. That drug smuggling quest was pretty easy, but I did have to search around a bit. I had no idea they marked the exact location and each pile of crap you have to search. I'm stunned.

The video is pretty good but he misses the mark in some ways. The game actually does goes into talking about how people are over protective with their preffered brands, the first guy that meet goes about how he cant talk with Auntie Cleos workers neitheir use their products. Also misses the mark about the Space choice, it isn't because they are stupid , its because they're cheap. "You tried the best now try this cheap and flawed choice.." But they dont need to be better , because most people work for , are in debt for them and can only BUY from them.. They don't care because people own their life for the corporations.

Btw he misses the point about the medicine. It isn't because they dumb , it's because there isn't enough medicine for everyone so only people that can work and work better get it.. It even tied to their religion. Also the life time program make sense. They can't sustain their cureent
population, cutting most people , let only the best workers and essentials staff members make sense. Just like the medicine part.

Anyway.. Still a good video.

Last guy who proclaimed himself king of the jews did not end well, Infinitron is just trying to avoid that ending
