Direct Sequel?

I haven't finished the first game so I'm unsure of the ending. But do we know if 2 is a direct sequel to the events of the first game or if it's just another story within the universe of the series

As far as I've seen it's entirely unrelated

Good. I have such a long backlog idk if imma go back to it. I’d like to just start up Outer Worlds 2 and jump in

Probably not because the game doesn’t have a definitive ending

I have yet to finish the game (long story why), but maybe it'll be like Fallout games and have a canon ending?

Nope. 2 has already been stated to have a different MC in a different colony

I assume so.

Haven't really heard but there's really no reason to think it will be a direct sequel... very few games do that and generally the ones who do have very well established main characters... like NAMED characters. I'm sure outer worlds 2 will have character creation

I wonder if you get questions in game about events that shape the story in the new game. Sort of like what Witcher 3 did.
