The Outer Worlds is such a great experience. It’s so full of life and character, and it was the first time in a while that I felt attached to NPCs. Looking forward to the sequel.
Man I just found the writing and overall humor so unbelievably ham fisted/try hard. I like over the top satire but it felt incredibly one-note. I lost interest after about 5hrs or so
Yeah. It is/was free on epic. As you say, the story seems pretty boring.
I don’t know why, but it felt really dead and empty. Most of the missions are go fetch missions too.
Cyberpunk, (modded) Skyrim, Fallout 4 or New Vegas, I actually enjoyed walking to the destination. Outer Worlds I found myself using fast travel as much as possible because I wasn’t rewarded for taking in the scenery. Not truly open world.
I mean, one of the companions, IRC I simply fast travelled to and from the ship 4 times to advance the quest. Go fetch at point A, go to ship to discuss, go fetch at point B, go to ship to discuss, etc.

The satire really hit the mark for me. I can see how it’s not for everyone, though.
Yeah, I am definitely not questioning people’s taste. A lot of people like it so there must be a reason. But it just didn’t click for me.

It’ll remain the only game I ever started a new game the second after finishing the campaign I played through it 3 times within the first week.
Only complaint is it was short and obviously had some funding concerns.
It was the closest thing to Fallout since Bethesda ruined the series.
