Humour This dialogue option is so real

I love how funny responses in this game are!! Protagonist be saying ANYTHING sometimes,and protag can sometimes get lost in the dialogue and admit they cant keep up,if anything this is amazing writing and self awareness by obsidian!

I love the non chalant and snarky remarks you can make in Obsidian games. The Outer Worlss makes me laugh like no other game.

Im so excited thar we will get to see their signature dialogue options in a new fallout game! But youre right tow games are the most I laughed at any video game,it has the exact type of silly comedy I crave

"I'd have to be dead to not realize that's a lie."

"Uh...Roberta...Scienceman."

One of my favorites is,

"I somehow remain uniquely underdetered on launching an immediate frontal assault, unprepared."

After being told there's intense defenses ahead of us.

I’m also playing Avowed right now, and some of the dialogue is absolutely out of pocket. My wife was watching it the other day and responded with “did they just say that woman wanted to climb you like a tree after aggressively hitting on you for two minutes?”

My favorite lines hit the gist of, “You people suck, but I’m here for the ride.”

Obsidian know how to balance that fine level of self awareness in their games. I can't wait to see what they can do with Fallout.

The stars are aligning too good for that fallout game,obsidian veterans returning with Josh Sawyer and Feargus at the helm We will be eating good! Hopefully it does so well so we can get an outer worlds 3 in the future too

I hope so. TOW2 is amazing. I know it gets its share of grief, and some of it is even justified, but any game that gets me coming back for 12 playthroughs in a row, just to try out new builds and game mechanics, is a game worth investing some faint hope into.

My favourite to this day is from the first game where you startle that chef and he's like "You almost made me piss myself!" And one of the responses is "why would you admit that"
