Yes, I am a patient gamer. Why do you ask?
I never realized til now how trans D. Va’s bodysuit is
I kept looking at it, going, “Now, what does this remind me of?”
Outer Worlds is a wonderful proof of concept, it only really felt shallow for so many because it stood so close to New Vegas, yet with a much smaller scope and budget.
I cannot wait to see what the Outer Worlds 2 may look like with an actual budget and dev time! Tim Cain is a treasure, and given that the Fallout series continues to be battered with generally terrible direction I’d love TOW2 to cement TOW as a viable alternative going forward.

As someone who went in knowing nothing, I expected much more of a linear/“indie” feel. I can see how people might be disappointed if they compare it to FNV, but damn it’s been pretty good for me so far. There’s a lot more here than I expected.
My biggest complaint is that the movement feels floaty. I feel like if they can get that right, then it would feel much better to play.
Yep, comparison is the thief of joy. I enjoyed my time with TOW, but felt that it realistically needed a bit more meat on its bones to gain real traction. It tries to sell itself as a long-form RPG in a bite-sized scale, it doesn’t quite work out pacing-wise.
Fun story and characters, but they need to work on combat/UI if there’s enough interest in a sequel.
Plenty of people want a sequel. The next one will hopefully drop 2025. What’s wrong with combat in the game now?
Well, considering it’s Obsidian, I applaud their characters and environments, but it feels like they’ve made no progress concerning gameplay. Of course, they have since been bought out by Microsoft. Whatever team remains, I hope they allow for a more robust style and flexibility.
I get that but what would you change to make combat better?
More fluidity, along the lines of Fallout 4. Increased variety of weapons, which could be tied into character/play types. A few QOL adjustments that have come to be expected these days
Outer Wilds has a whole species of non-binary characters

Now if only the spacers choice edition I got for free on Epic wasn’t such a shitshow.
What’s wrong with it? That’s the version I’m playing, and I haven’t had any problems whatsoever. It’s been great.
Is there a lesbian love interest in this game?
There seems to be so far, but time will tell how far it develops.

Oh, I see. I haven’t experienced any framerate issues, but I’ve got a RTX3080 and Windows 10.
I do intend to switch to Linux for my next build. I’ve already moved to it on our other PC and laptops.

I’m thinking it’s the former because I have had it get pretty hot while playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, for example, but I haven’t had that happen with this one so far, and the framerates have been steady.

Honestly, I’d totally have been willing to buy this, now that I’ve seen the gameplay and characters and know what it is. I went in knowing little to nothing.
I’d seen people reference it in passing on r/gamingcirclejerk when it was released, but I didn’t pay much attention back then.
I wanted to get into that on Linux, too. Which Wine/Proton version did you use?
deleted by creator
Thanks for the answer! I don’t have a windows installation around anymore, so I’ll just see if when I do try it, it runs better.
Not having DRM is a good sign at least iirc :D
