How is this game not dead yet? Seriously, that is the most surprising thing to me. Not that it' s terrible, but it is mediocre to such an extent that I honestly believed that in a few months no one would talk about it anymore - but here we are. With these two expansions/DLCs, they will finally make use of the planets that appeared on the game's central map but that you couldn't interact with?

They cleared it months in advance, probably. They have MS money now, so it’s just filler content for game pass.

You don't get any of the DLCs on game pass. Or, I suppose, they want to attract people to buy the DLC on the game pass app.

:what: That's a AAA-quality cinematic, Obsidian putting that Microsoft money to good use. And that's an attractive woman with a non-butch haircut. Feels really incongruent with the rest of the game though. :\
AAAAA quality :lol: Love the dead fish eyes

I guess someone at Obsidian (finally) realized that despite all the faux-hankering for representation, all the tumblr-Twitterites still obsess over attractive character designs.
I think it's just that with Micro$oft money they can finally afford some hair-physics middleware.

People, PEOPLE ! That was a cinematic made by Goodbye Kansas, it obviously didn't use in-game models and features much more animation than the game! Most of the women will still have Ellie's hairdo and no one's hair will go further than the nape of the neck in the game proper. Have you seen that screenshot of the dude in SugarOps armor with the slugs apparently growing out of his body ? I thought it was a bald woman at first!

We all know it will be shit.
But it was a nice trailer. I'd like to play that game.

Why play it now? Wait, yet again, for the Definitive Edition, where Obsidian will use those sweet Microsoft moneys to retroactively make the female companions attractive AND fuckable.

If that goes for attractive for a video game character, you all must have been traumatized into having low standards by all the recent ugly empowered characters in many games.

She is just average by video game standards.
Barely average at best by any standards. Now this 5 is considered a 7 because all the others are 3s. Women surround themselves with uglier women for a reason.

looks to me like they tried to copy main character from control

Well, isn't she supposed to be dead? So we never see that model inside of the game ;).
