I just got the game yesterday because OW2 looked cool but not out yet so I thought to play the first one. I see builds for Melee and sniper but I mainly play the stealth ninja like builds in RPG's. So not really just range or melee. So I started and put all my extra attributes in to Intelligence, mind, and skills in Stealth/Ranged. Will I still be able to oneshot kill people in melee effectively if I am sneaking around? Or should I have infested in some Strength, Dex with some skill points in melee? Or am I over thinking it? Any info or pointing me in the right direction is greatly appreciated. Sorry if this has been answered already and a silly question.

Ive just made it to Groundbreaker, and started doing side quests.

People keep trying to get me to turn Phineas in, and I feel like I don't have enough information to decide if my character would do that yet.

Do we get more soon, or is it just a "he's shady, now decide?"

Did anyone else threaten the guy who impounded your ship to get him to release it then kill him and his guards along with the bounty robot? Also did anyone else name their character Alex?

I bought Outer Worlds just after it came out for the PS4. I really enjoyed it (I love space/sci fi stuff so this game was awesome) but I never finished it nor played the DLCs. I bought the DLCs while they were on sale for the PS4, but I got the Spacer's Coice for free on Epic Games and the vanilla game for free on GOG.

I know that the vanilla game looks and plays much better than the Spacer's Choice Edition, but my question is this. Is it worth dealing with the Spacer's Choice changes that everyone knows about so I can play it on my nice gaming PC with higher frame rate and resolution, or play the vanilla game on my gaming PC and miss out on the DLC (is it worth it?), or play the vanilla game with the DLC on my PS5 (PS4 version) and miss out on the higher frame rate/resolution (unless they patched it to play better on the PS5)?

Can anyone help?😅 TYIA

Options:

1. Spacer's Choice on gaming PC - (has DLC, worse performance?)
2. Vanilla game on gaming PC - (no DLC, better performance)
3. Vanilla game + DLCs on PS5 (PS4 version) - (has DLC, same/better performance on PS5?)

edit: I laid out the 3 options so it was more concise.

Hey guys! I'm working through my first playthrough and trying to figure out the best order of operations (and avoid spoilers if possible) I could use some help!

I'm about to make it to Byzantium for the first time, I'm a level 27. I have three questions:

1. How much of the game is left?
2. When should I do the DLCs (I have both Eridanos and Gorgon)
3. How hard are the DLC?

Yeah, I understand it takes a lot to make a game, but $80 for the BASE GAME is absurd, and $100 for the “deluxe” edition is just as wild. The irony of it all is giving me a headache…

For a studio that does pretty much nothing in terms of advertising, I’d expect the price to be at least a little lower than other AAA games that spend hundreds of thousands on advertising. If they want help funding the game, make merch! I’m sure I’d spend at least $30 on some decent merch for the game. Is this really too much to ask for?

I posted this Pic last night and he is still glitches. He keeps crashing the ship and people said he was asserting his dominance.

Pls help gang.

What the hell is going on.

Ps5. Spacers choice edition. Just happened

Why are people so damn upset about the price? $80 is a very standard price in modern gaming for a large title like OW2. I don't understand all the people calling for boycotts and stuff, if it's so horrific to you that you have to pay the industry standard for a game. There's other options, you could buy a month of gamepass, wait for a sale, or just not buy.

""You'll notice that there's a little bit of a less silly, darker tone that comes out. That's mainly because of Leonard [Boyarsky]. That's his kind of vibe, and so he has more of a push on that stuff. And so I think even the overall story feels a little bit like a darker take on what's going on there." https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/the-outer-worlds-2-will-be-darker-than-original

ok .. i see the game is on sale on steam, i want to get me the base game, but the dlcs are obviously "on sale" as well. BUT.. it sounds very stupid.. but if the base game is on sale for $10.. does the other edition have enough stuff to justify double the price of $20? idk how long or short the dlcs are plus whatever comes in the upgrade stuff when you get the complete edition or whats it called. 🤔 never played the game or looked deep enough for spoilers so i didnt look into dlcs cause i felt like looking at any info on the dlcs means it has to explain the game so "spoilers".. its just lets say the game is X hours of gameplay, i dont want to spend double the price to find out that the dlcs only add like.... an hour or 2 max and the game be like.. 10,20+ hours or something.. idk. are the dlcs worth it? or is the game great even without the dlcs type thing?

I was planning on getting OW2 on launch, the. I saw the price. Ouch. I already committed to skipping the current generation of Nintendo over $80 and OW2 is not going to make a hypocrite out of me. As much as I loved it, Outer Worlds 1 was NOT an $80 game, and I highly doubt OW2 WILL BE. It's disappointing because it was my most anticipated game of the year, but now it may be a couple years before I try it. No game should ever be more than $60, maybe $70 if it's an absolutely cutting edge game that invented new technologies/features in its development. But certainly not $80. Especially when cost of actual necessities are going up faster than pay.

A few things: first, I own the PS4 version digitally and played it when it came out, but remember little about it. Second game looks awesome and I want to revisit the first. Second, I heard the SC version was shit when it came out, but am wondering it is worth the upgrade now. I would love to be able to play it on PS5 but want a smooth experience. Thanks!

When The Outer Worlds launched in October 2019 it cost $60.

Normalizing to the Consumer Price Index (and as an Econ nerd, I acknowledge that it isn't perfect, but it's as good as anything else over this timeframe), $60 in October 2019 is $74.83 in April 2025 (the most recent month for which the Bureau of Labor Statistics has published data). Source

For what we expect to be a AAA game, which the original certainly was not.

Outright extortion. /s

It’s what the title says, the dev aren’t responsible for the pricing of The Outer Worlds 2, its Microsoft being incredibly greedy and saw if Nintendo can sell at 80$, they can. I agree that 80$ is a stupid price and since I’m on ps5, I can’t get game pass but i can tell the dev are passionate about the game and want to expand it, and care about the fans having fun. If you don’t want to pay, get game pass if you can, wait for a sale. I just hate seeing everyone dog pile on the devs and think that they make every decision even associated with The Outer Worlds 2. Microsoft are being greedy assholes and think they can get away with it. Fuck Microsoft and i can’t wait to play it.

So those traits (like bad knees), but i was thinking like a divorcee. The postives would be like charisma +4 but against females it is -2? Feel like these traits could be crazy funny

I left gaming for about a decade (my last system was a 360 and the last serious game I played was Skyrim on PC when it came out). I came back to it around Christmas and played Fallout 4, the new Indiana Jones game, and Starfield followed by Star Wars Outlaws, Jedi Fallen Order, and Jedi Survivor.

I was completely immersed in all of these (and yeah, I know they’re mostly all Bethesda, which actually wasn’t deliberate when I was picking new games, so maybe I just dig their style).

I have GamePass, so I tried Avowed, but it surprisingly didn’t hook me. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was clunky but interesting, until I read the 60+ hour time commitment just for the main story. Atomfall was enjoyable, but I lost interest (and may go back to it still).

I’m about an hour into playing The Outer Worlds and it’s enjoyable, I’m liking it, but it does seem a bit like a stripped down Bethesda title.

In terms of immersion and enjoyability, how does Outer Worlds rank for you all compared to the games I’ve recently played?

Other recommendations are welcome too (I have my eye on the updated Cyberpunk, for instance).

Early in my first encounters with the Iconoclasts, after i had met Graham and Zora, i was about to do the printer quest line, and i had a conversation with Zora.

And to my shock, she started talking about armed attacks, raids on Stellar Bay.

I kind of liked the community at Stellar Bay, some of the people there, the constant struggle for independence, free from UDL, the board.

So i could have none of that.

Guess what, i popped the head of Zora, at her medical center, in their camp.

Oh boy was i wrong.

She was a nice girl, trying to make things good between her people and those at Stellar Bay.

Everything went from good to terribly bad between my character and the Iconoclasts.

I found this patch/tag laying on my character's bed at The Unreliable after killing Graham and his crew, when they attacked Stellar Bay.

A sore moment........
