The second episode of my walkthrough/TV series, Adventures of the Outer Worlds, is out!
My big issue about 25 hours in, just leaving Monarch, is that character and companion perks and super standard and boring. I don't get excited about leveling up and getting a new perk at all.
Yeah, but it's on a much later town,Is there some kind of suit or casual wear I can buy/find somewhere?
Damn, there goes my Dialog build just wearing a suit most of the game outta' the window.
Yeah the game has a lot of issues./Sums up leveling experience in TOW sadly, uninteresting and doesn't excite you in slightest. Every perk is so boring and safe design.
There are some earlier suits -- I never found them laying around though, only in vending machines.Damn, there goes my Dialog build just wearing a suit most of the game outta' the window.
Are they in any vending machines on the first planet or the Groundbreaker?There are some earlier suits -- I never found them laying around though, only in vending machines.
I've only ever seen casual/worker clothes in my 20 or so hours. Haven't finished Monarch yet.Are they in any vending machines on the first planet or the Groundbreaker?
Guess I'm gonna have to wait for mods for that build.I've only ever seen casual/worker clothes in my 20 or so hours. Haven't finished Monarch yet.

I'm playing on normal and don't need to use them either. I can see your point of view.Can't go higher than supernove...game needs balancing badly. I have 100 + consumables and never had to use 1.
This. I have such a craving to play a good Fallout game right now (well, another one), but there just isn't a recent one.Overall I'd say The Outer Worlds just made me want to replay the games that inspired it.
For example, the loot is just WAY too much. Cut it in half. Increase the cost to tinker as you are swimming in money and can OP your character. Reduce the amount of hacking items so hacking is really something that people invest into...it is just too easy. Supernova minus the perma death would be welcomed.
It makes want to reinstall New Vegas and play it all over again (which is no problem at all). I'm enjoying it, but it is lacking in areas.Finished it. Monarch was easily the worst part of the game and sadly also the longest. The companions were good, not Bioware good but I never expected that. The writing was incredibly one-note and fairly weightless. The combat was somehow both easy and tedious, with guns completely lacking any punch. Overall I'd say The Outer Worlds just made me want to replay the games that inspired it.
Here's hoping Obsidian does something more memorable with their next game.
New Vegas has been sitting in my Steam library for I don't know how many years. Have never played it though. Going through the whole modding process seems scary. I wish they had remastered it.
Might finally do that after finishing The Outer Worlds and Disco Elysium. Should have enough time before Red Dead Redemption 2 is up on Steam.While personally I go mod crazy with New Vegas (I'm pushing the upward bounds of the mod limit), it plays fine vanilla* and it's not hard at all to install some additional qol improvements, unofficial patches, and visual improvements and just leave it at that if you want.
*If you like survival type stuff in games then at least install the jesawyer mod even if you don't add anything else.
New Vegas is one of my top 3 games of the century. It's so worth playing.

This is me as well, the game feels average to me in most areas, the loot is horrid, it gets boring, combat is a chore for the most part, no challenge.finally finished the game around 23 hrs
7/10 at best. too easy, too much loot, boring areas, writing was so so and the whole affair was way too safe.
started promising but took a complete nosedive for me. i would say this game is definitely overrated and when the honeymoon is over many people will be souring on it.

the money really isn't difficult to get, just do a few sidequests and sell crap that you lockpick and pickpocket.I stole everything from Gladys safe and I killed her to check her body (loaded afterwards) and there was no nav key. Is the only way to get it really that I have to buy it from her?
Not long and you are deep in gold and never need to spend a penny really, except maybe for gear repairs.I stole everything from Gladys safe and I killed her to check her body (loaded afterwards) and there was no nav key. Is the only way to get it really that I have to buy it from her?
So switching to Story difficulty mode has made me do a complete 180 on the game. Loving it so far and honestly I think I might end up doing all of the side quests I come across, which I rarely ever do.
My only complaint at the moment is inventory management. I honestly have no idea how to even tackle it. Any time I go to a vendor I sell junk, but I'm still sitting with tons of stuff I don't have any idea how to use or why.
Yep. A few days ago I posted how the combat was just kicking my butt. Constantly getting killed and reloading. Now I can just focus on immersion of the world and story and quests and dialogue. I'm still finding the combat pretty fun but I'm no longer stressed about getting killed every encounter. Once I level up some more I might bump it up to normal and see how I fare.Can you elaborate on how the story difficulty mode has improved the experience for you? Is it because you can now roll through all of the enemies, and focus more on the quests/conversation side of the game?
