Yup. Its a good outing. Its fun....but its not one of those games I will put under my pillow and hope I dream about it or anything.
Anyone got a tip for the last boss?
Companions die super quick, I get him down to his last breath and he spawns 8 drones that fuck me up.
I cant heal enough until they bust me from all sides.

Are you a ranged or melee build? I used TTD to snipe the drones' weak points, taking several down in a hurry. The perk that refunds some TTD meter on kills would probably help even more. Once I'd thinned out the droids a bit, I did a few circles around the arena so only one or two could shoot at me at a time. I also added a + armor item to my inhaler.
For your companions, I would recommend using their abilities early, because you don't have a ton of control over keeping them alive. I suppose you could take the perk (or was it a skill bonus) that revives them when you use inhaler?

Thanks for the tips!
I actually have that perk but it does not work somehow. They stay down and once the last wave of drones comes (wave 3) they get me.
I'll keep trying. Worst thing is I run back and re-spec. I'm a bit all over the place at the moment.

So beyond activating him he's basically useless, well except for fighting that is.
So gonna be honest, I've never really used Felix. And he's been missing on the Unreliable for like 10 hours now. I finally took him with me when I had to leave the ship to finish Parvati's quest. Suddenly he's all over the ship like he should have been. Weirder thing though? I can talk to him to accept his companion quest, but I accept it and it auto fails.
I can still go to the location that opens up and everything proceeds like I don't have that quest and that quest alone chilling in my botched list. Rolled back my save for now and I guess I just won't touch it for the time being.

I've seen several people talking about companion quests getting bugged/unfinishable because the game mistakenly assumes that companion is permanently dead, so that might have been what happened.
Yeah been seeing from other people how that shows up in the ending even. Guess I'll get the achievement for doing all the companion quests on another run.
How do I trigger the Felix companion quest? Do I take him with me for some time and it starts?
At the moment I clear up Monarch with Parvati (who else?) and Nyoka (that sweet 20% creature bonus damage), so no room for Felix.
Did anybody else misunderstand the 50% XP companion perk? It thought it would mean I still get 50% XP when a companion kills an enemy (compared to maybe 30% regularly).
But it means an additional 50% XP compared to what I would get when I make the kill. So most of the time I make sure that they have the last shot now.

So freaking annoying how the enemies relentlessly follow you if you try to retreat from an engagement
I vastly prefer this to when they elastic-band back to their small aggro circle, like in many games.
That's what I was thinking, but I'm can't be sure if I'm hitting a weakspot or not. I was wondering if there was a clear visual indicator that I was somehow missing. Well, I guess the damage numbers get bigger but I find them hard to follow.
Are you both talking about point blank enemy engagements or something? Because they leash quickly in this when shooting from even a medium distance. All you have to do is turn around and run for 3-5 seconds and they will reset.
Damage numbers plus a good critical shot will disable the enemy for a few moments.
they do this though. especially the mantids on monarch, for me at least. they'll start walking back to their area, and when you shoot them they just instantly heal to full.
I picked high medic skills from the get-go and it's been extremely disappointed to find out that I can't cure anyone. Not even my companions. There are only medic speech-checks that make you sound smart, but you never actually help out somebody with your medical skill. It is especially infuriating because you find sick people at Groundbreaker / Edgewater but you can't even offer to help. You could in New Vegas, ugh.
Honestly I think Medical might be one of the worst skills? I can't really remember a situation where it was that useful of the top of my head.
Meanwhile hacking and lockpicking felt OP as hell to me.
Finished it with as good an ending I assume you can get. Everyone but Lilya Hagen and Reed Tobson were happy and thriving. Can't picture playing it again and going corporate. Maybe if you play with no Companions. I can't take Parvati being disappointed in me. Enjoyed it, sneaky charismatic sniper is as OP as it always is in these types of games. Normal was too easy I feel by a smidge. But I don't play games for the struggle so didn't bother me. I still think New Vegas is the King.
Any tips of or super nova difficulty? Haven't played the game yet but wanted to start on this difficulty for the achievement
Yeah. Shoot some enemies in the guts, and they stop moving and protect themselves. Blast that energy cell on a mechs legs while they are jetting around and you can ragdoll them. Humans drop to the ground when shot in the legs in TTD. I love it.
I'm a little confused with tinkering. What's the cap on it? Also are weapons balanced so at appropriate levels they are all viable?
From my time with the game... you are going to he babysitting companions a lot. Give em the best armor and only have them in combat If you really need em.
Parma death is a huge mistake for this mode. They get insta melted a lot. I think a better penalty would have them retreat back to the ship or something.

Just hit the 18 hour mark and still really loving the game. Yes, there are issues such as game balance and locking out sleeping, eating, water to Supernova. But outside of that I am really loving this game. I think the graphics (on X) are really good. There are times where it does not look great, but for the most part it really looks nice and clean. You can really tell they had a limited budget, but it is still amazing what they were able to pull off with a limited budget. I just finished Roseway (sp) area. Have not been to Monarch as of yet.
I do tend to looks in every nook and cranny in these types of games and I try to read/listen to as much dialog as possible and love reading all the stuff on some of the computers. I tend to explore a lot and found a lot of hidden caves and points of interests on many areas. Hope they have a balance patch though.

I think I'm around 12 hours in. Monarch is fully occupying me but outside of taking a day off here and there I've been pushing through. Taking on a long companion quest for Nyoki (probably misspelled lol) and now at lvl.20.
spam parvatis ability on him since it stuns the bot for quite a while
kill the combat drones yourself and have your other partner attacking the boss
i had a plasma carbine to shoot him when i had the chance and it did okay damage charged

Aren't there perks for solo-play? So just play solo in the rural/dungeon areas and only take your companions to settlements for quests.
Is there a way to go back and take on flaws after you decided against them? Opted against the first one the game presented to me because I wasnt hungering for perks, but in hindsight its the only one presented so far that makes sense for the roleplay of my character even if I dont really need the perk
I was super high on Outer Worlds when I started, but 15 hours in it's definitely "just okay."
It reminds me of Pillars of Eternity in that maybe it's getting praise just for existing in a field that's been so barren lately.
Even so, I do appreciate how densely packed with quests and points of interest the game is, my biggest criticism is that combat's uninteresting and the systems aren't very deep.
The weapons and mods are good, but because all the enemies are "run straight at you" types that you just hose down with bullets until they are dead, all the weapons end up feeling pretty much the same.
If they could just rip off Mass Effect 3's combat system for the sequel, have a cover system and some special skills. Woo.
There seems to be banter just exploring the world. I've always felt this added a lot to exploration. I usually just keep them out of the way in combat.
Well just finished the game and the review aggregates in the 80ish out of 100 seem fair. I enjoyed it quite a bit and its flaws didn't bug me as much as others. Until the last 20ish minutes of the game, it was also pretty damn bug-free. It's no New Vegas but I knew the odds of this game topping it was slim going in. I think Obsidian might have a great series on their hands if the Outer Worlds 2 can address the shortcomings of this game.
Now I just have to decide if I want to do a replay of this or go finish Disco Elysium.

Cant play this today. If i dont log in a day or two in Wow Classic after being gone so long i might get gkicked! So im roaming around listening to this while killing mobs lol
By law I hope they do this, I would love to do a second playthrough as a board lackey, but only if the difficulty is more customizable.
I used the mind control gun on him. It still took a couple of tries. During reloads used my companion abilities. I died a lot during that fight, wasn't my favorite.
This is how I am feeling too. Think I'm just going to power through it as the side quest are feeling like a chore now. People talk too much as well.
Definitely same for me. It also doesn't help that, for there beings tons of dialogue and exposition, most characters aren't interesting. I'm level 28 and I just want to make it to 30, finish the main quest, and probably not play this again.
I'm about to lose my fucking mind doing this quest where you model the outfits on Byzentium. I've purchased over a dozen Spacer's Choice pieces and none of them work.
I saw this and I can't find either of these. I've been running around to the vendors that supposedly carry it for 30 minutes. What an absolutely frustrating quest.
The helm is at the hideout you get on Fallbrook but I remember getting one as loot by the unique hammer on the Groundbreaker. The clothes I bought on the Groundbreaker. I think it was from the Spacer's Choice guy buy I definitely bought it.
Yeh, Monarch sucks. Was enjoying it, now I'm skimming and skipping dialogue
i must have already sold both of these because they aren't there. Hilarious that neither pieces of armor are spacers choice. What kind of garbage ass quest is this.
