Anyone done a complete violent play through yet where your just murder everyone? I like how this game plays similar to Morrowind where you can kill any NPC rather than oblivion on where important npcs just get knocked out.

the game gives a bad first impression with Crazy Scientist and ADA being the most tired tropes in gaming.
It gets better after that but there's doesn't seem to be anything here that I haven't already se before in the last 10 years.
I hope they show more ambition in a potential sequel.

I don't think I could ever do that, just cause I love some of the NPCs and would hate to kill them lol. Like I absolutely adore Gladys and Parvati.
I am so bad at this game. I die pretty much every combat encounter even on story difficulty. I have to be doing something wrong.
Super early, deciding between which area to
but doing a side quest about Zoe right now.
Any pointers or tips? Never really gotten into this kind of RPG before so it could be user error but I really am not feeling the combat whatsoever.

God DAYUM this game is good. It's the Fallout New Vegas 2 I hoped for, and it's nice to have this game without the janky Bethesda combat! The Time Dilation is a lot better than VATS for sure.
It still remains to be seen overall if this is truly better than New Vegas, but signs are certainly pointing toward...possibly?

quick gameplay spoiler question for the second zone
there are more than a few places where some important npc is sat with guards around them and hackable doors, safes and even their own person to be pickpocketed, is it only possible to do this by killing them? I don't seem to be able to knock anyone out or lure anyone away to do it without detection. As much as I love this game, I do kinda miss the lack of approaches i could take to a situation. Let me put sleeping pills in your inventories dammit
Is there anyway to save screenshots in this game on PC? Other than print screen then pasting it into an editor. Like a built in way.
Yeah, I do wish there was a radio.
Doubt they'll ever do it to avoid talk of directly copying 3D Fallout, but meh, I'd love it.
I mean obviously I fucking have to but it's a little insane you can't just remove a god damn helmet in this game.
Loving the game overall, but I had to cut my time on Monarch a little short and just advance the story. Starting getting really sick of that planet and its creatures, not to mention the fairly uninteresting factions. Plus, from what I can recall, there weren't a whole lot of interesting solutions or choices to make compared to the previous worlds/locations. Hopefully
is better.
Byzantium
Finished the first planet.
Unrelated question: can you get the outfit Grace was wearing?
Chose Edgewater over the Deserters, but convinced Reed to step down and Adelaide to return. Still doesn't sit really well with me, so I might reload and see how the other option plays out.
Felt like the confession from Adelaide that she uses human corpses to grow her crops was meant to be highly disturbing, but I wasn't that impressed? It's already an option in real life to turn your body into compost after you die. It's not exactly mainstream and it isn't used to grow food (I assume), but the principle remains the same.
Not sure if the other Deserters were in the know, however.

Not built in that I know of. But if you're playing it via Gamepass on PC you can do win+g to bring up the overlay with the screenshot button. I think the shortcut is win+alt+prntscrn but you can modify it win+g settings.
I think the alternate choice is much worse, but in a way that doesn't really present itself until *after* you make the decision
WTF, anyone else have had this happen? I was playing the game and when I went to the secret lab, my game crashed and now I am completely unable to start the game back up. When clicking the icon nothing happens. This is the Gamepass version.
Fuck so i was right, are you guys far in the game or still edgewater?
It was in the options menu as "Fullscreen" it seems to default to borderless. Though that option is not there for ultrawide monitors.
Same here!
Have never played this type of game before so it's a little overwhelming. It' growing on me though!
Anyone playing the game extensively as a silver-tongued devil got any idea which one of the dialogue skills appear most often throughout the game? I gotta feeling they probably have it pretty balanced, but I wanna get opinions.
Trying to decide whether to specialize in persuade or lie. Persuade seems better for its combat capabilities, because that 15% chance to scramble an mechanical seems too low.

It's not a budget thing, a LOT of triple A games are cakewalks even on hard.
So far, as someone speccing in conversational skills, I've seen Pursuade more than Intimidate and Lie in general, but Intimidate has probably been tied more to important moments. Lie seems to just pop up to mostly get bonus xp.
I'd say probably prioritize Pursuade, intimidate, and then lie.
Everyone's left ear in this game looks really hot because of the lighting during conversations.
lmao, yeah it looks a bit strange
left Edgewater not that far but well, it is really easy on hard, you have too much of anything, i´ve never died once. you can even reset enemy aggro when you run away...the slow mo is also strong because of the effects that it inflicts on enemies
would like the increased health enemies from Supernova but the save limitation sucks so i switched to hard...but hard is a joke so far, needs more scarce ammo and stuff, i feel like you are stocked to well in this game, would like it much more tense
hard for sure
wasn't there another game recently that did the exact same thingEveryone's left ear in this game looks really hot because of the lighting during conversations.
if anyone is worrying about dying companions..just set them to ranged and in defense mode, you have to give order that they attack in this mode. i´ve put Parvati in some heavy armor with a good helmet and a grenade launcher and tell her to finish off enemies so that she levels up, she never died once so far.
i think they are meant to be squishy in the beginning, you have to skill a bit for them to become better, gear also helps
there is also a skill behind one of the attributes where you heal your companion when you use the inhaler

LOL oh man, I was worried my game was glitching or something. It's like every NPC has someone holding a flashlight directly behind their left ear.Everyone's left ear in this game looks really hot because of the lighting during conversations.
Yeah the amount of loot to be found is just too much. You find ammo and health items everywhere.
And the AI is really bad. Face melee enemies? Jump on top of a table where they can't reach you and their aggro resets.
Playing this game in normal and yeah it's stupid easy. Not really a big deal for me however the combat isn't anything to write home for and I'm mostly keen on the story characters and lore.
Almost done with the second planet and it's a solid 8/10 so far. For reference Fallout 4 was a 5/10.

This game is a lot more like Mass Effect than a Bethesda game imo. I think if you come into this expecting Fallout 5, you could set yourself up for disappointment. The main missions will, for the most part, take you through every location/building in the game, there are few hidden areas for you to discover. The world is about as alive as a Mass Effect, meaning characters stand still, they don't walk around the and they don't sleep. The world feels kind of dead, it's missing those systems interactions that Bethesda games are known for.
That said I'm really enjoying the writing and gameplay (even if it's far too easy)

I'm about 5-6 hours into this and loving the heck outta it. Extra bonus with it playing and looking great on my XB1X along with getting it off Game Pass. 🙌🏿
Thanks everyone! Unnggg wish I could play the game right now.
Please drop kick some board types for me in the meantime.
Is it possible to mod this game if I'm playing the Game Pass version on PC? I despise weight limits/inventory management so would like to remove it.
Weird, I felt Fallout 4 was a really shitty open world looter shooter version of ME and The Outer Worlds just feels like a smaller scale/lower budget New Vegas. Stat system and conversation/dialogue system are what matter to me in an RPG though.
The weight limit in the game doesn't hamper as much as it does in Fallout 3/4 or Skyrim, also breaking down weapons/armour helps reduce carrying junk around.
It's kinda laughable the consequences you get for stealing and getting caught in this game. I emptied an area and got caught like 4 or 5 times and just either persuaded, bribed, intimidated or lie'd each time. It worked every single time and they would just walk away leaving me to steal more shit.
