About to try the Outer Worlds (lemmy.world)

I’ve been very busy with work the last few months so I haven’t really played any games, but things are finally starting to get back to normal a bit and I wanted to try this RPG. I played it a bit when it came out but decided to really dive into it this time. Just wondering if there’s anyone here who’s played it and has any advice? I’ve had the game spoiled for me already so don’t worry about spoilers.

I've played it off GamePass a few times since it was released.

Is it a great game? Not at all. Is it entertaining? Yes.

The characters are all a little odd in different ways, making it interesting to try different combos for parties, depending on what you think you might be running into.

I told myself that I was going to spend more time with my other companions but I almost always have Parvati with me.

Depending on how you build your character initially, you'll find that you'll want different companions for different tasks. That means some backtracking but there is some fast travel and I know I'll miss loot at times, so it's usually worth it.

Definitely not open world but that's okay if you don't have hours to spend wandering down a track only to find some BS loot.

Dialogue options do make a difference and that is what kept me going back. All the "I wonder what'll happen if I .." is fun to explore.

Again, the customer is always right - in matters of style and taste.
