I don't mean to sound mean or dismissive, but... I feel like I'm the only one who played the first Outer Worlds. It just feels like it's one of those things that was supposed to be a thing, but wasn't a thing.
Don't get it twisted, I'm not complaining that they're making a sequel. I'm relieved and hope it does better, I just remember more people complaining about Outer Worlds than talking about it. So I'm hoping this second chance for the franchise really helps it get off the ground (Unless it was a big hit and I'm just badly misinformed about how well it did)
But that 80 dollar price tag? Lemme tell you that's not a consumer friendly choice, that's Spacer's Choice.
Outer worlds just felt so uninteresting to me. I played it, and it was a forgettable experience imo
Parvati was the only light in the darkness for me. I love her and her quest line, and hope there's more good ace rep like her in other media.
I stopped playing the game as soon as I finished her quest line because I was bored with everything else =\
I also found it underwhelming which is a shame because I generally love Obsidian RPGs. They did a much better job with Avowed recently in my opinion.
I was interested in Outer Worlds and No Man's Sky around the same time and played OW first.
I enjoyed it while I played it and completed the story of the main game.
Then I played NMS and enjoyed that a lot too but when I went back to OW for the DLCs I got bored quickly.
Outer Worlds just seemed less fun after No Man's Sky.
I played it in the hospital waiting for my wife to go into labor haha. I'm pretty sure that's the only reason I remember it. I tried to replay it recently and made it about halfway through before moving on.
I ain't paying $80 for it and there's no game pass on Linux. Guess I'm waiting for a sale. 🤷
