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.

Closest thing we'll ever get to Firefly: The Game.

Enjoyed the atmosphere, the dialogue, the music and the feel of the weapons when they are being fired.

Loved Ellie and Parvati as companions. Parvati's story is so goddamned sweet and is the emotional heart of the game in my opinion.

Ellie is a redhead, so she's automatically awesome.

I liked the kid, bit don't remember his name. Kind of generic and forgettable.

Nyoka has great dialogue during fight scenes, but again, kind of forgettable and her side quest was boring. But the voice actor did a great job with her.

The priest is a twat and I've literally never picked him up again on any new play through.

In conclusion, hella' fun, but not open enough for more than two or three playthroughs. Once you've explored all the options, there's not much to do anymore.
