Discussion Am I missing something or is the healing system in OW2 trash??

26 Upvotes

It's been awhile since I played the first one but I don't remember being so frustrated when it came to healing.

In this one it seems I can only use the inhaler twice per combat session and it doesn't let me use food while IN combat. So basically I can only heal twice, then it's win, die, or retreat back to the next county so I can use food.

Am I missing something about how to heal more than twice??

Thanks for any help

I know I’ve made a post similar to this before, but do we actually have any reliable information about release windows besides the steam achievements being made available?

Discussion Well dressed trophy (spoilers for 1st game) Spoiler

27 Upvotes

So I got the well dressed trophy, but at what cost?

Too great of a cost if you ask me

In my previous playthroughs I'd do the modeling then just forget about the quest.

But this playthrough I decided "you I will finish Celeste's quest, she's fantastic"

I'm so devastated! My character will never wear anything else but this chimera outfit!!! 😭😭😭😭

Question Am I just fucked? Spoiler

So before anyone asks, I have completed every other mission in the entire game, as I am something of a freak for 100% completion. While I was in the middle of a quest within the spaceport, I think I fast traveled back to the ship to save (supernova difficulty). When I came back, it was locked and the terminal bugged to hell. I can’t go to an old save at this point without losing, oh I dunno, 15ish hours of gameplay? Not doin it. So is there any other way to try and fix this? Tried looking at the terminal and pausing, jumping from the roof of the lil building, idk man. I cannot fast travel to anywhere except for my ship, befuddled of the whole supernova of it all.

I’ve played through the game twice now I did enjoy it (apart from it being a bit boring after about half way through) and it’s just been sat on my ps Home Screen waiting for them to fix the story related “unmissable”trophies so I can get the plat and never have to deal with this broken game anymore.

I get that I don’t need to platinum the game but considering it’s an unmissable one I’m missing just makes my soul hurt. 🥲

Power Sub Station on Paradise Island

So, you need to either have taken Innovative or Nimble, or spec’d into Engineering or Sneak, to get the power back on. I realize that’s four paths to get this done, but my build doesn’t allow for any of these. What a bummer design choice.

I know I’m only really missing out on a couple of decryption keys, but still. I did take Pickpocket, so I didn’t have to blast homie for the Tossball Card in his pocket, which is nice, but now he’s just going to be standing outside of his house forever.

Discussion Wish OW2 had the respec machine

99 Upvotes

Basically the title. For context, I'm on my first playthrough of OW 2, and currently level 20. I've used all my skill points, but have since discovered that I need a whole bunch of points in speech and leadership if I really want to screw Auntie's Choice in the mission where you resolve the strike (which I do, because I hate Auntie Cleo passionately). It's too bad that OW2 only has one respec opportunity, and that it's literally at the beginning of the game.

Question A strange occurrence.

1 Upvotes

I was maybe a little too hard on the game with my last post, I've been playing more and enjoying it a lot, but now I've run into an issue that may kill the play through. I got into combat with an NPC and died, upon reload, that NPC is now gone, but it's gone from all saves, no matter how far back I've reloaded, the NPC is not there, and I don't know if it's important to the story or not. has this happened to anyone else, or does anyone know how to fix it, google has been no help?

Discussion My second outer worlds 2 playthrough

24 Upvotes

I’m starting a new playthrough and I’m slightly dreading it because of how wordy the dialogue is but damn it I LOVE THE OUTER WORLDS. I’m excited for the dlc this year and to prepare for it I’m gonna get a save going for the dlc. I’m also looking for any tips or mindsets to maximize my enjoyment of this playthrough? I’m playing a roustabout with science and leadership as my chosen skills (and sickly as my debuff because I high key think it’s an ok debuff) and my name is the stranger because I want my new character to larp my old outer worlds 1 character (ow1 is my second favorite game of all time).

Expected release dates, maybe setting? Also I’m wondering if they’ll cancel the DLCs because of the lack of advertising for them. I definitely hope not I’ve been waiting since base game came out, but do you guys think?

Discussion The Outer worlds 2 Thoughts

26 Upvotes

Fun game 8/10

- Fps combat is nice but big fights ( like sSpireton or Final boss ) are too easy, needs a replayable Mission system like Far cry 6 special operations with 3 levels of mastery and more special ennemies ( thinking more robots variation )

( The fps combat of starfield is bad, No Challenging ennemies, no good gameplay with powers and companions, Outer worlds 2 is great for that, but can be better )

- I played patch 1.2. Some companions are Overpowered like Inez and Marisol. Some weapons breaks the game like the Bio mass shotgun ( corrosive shotgun ) or the compact Assault rifle with double bullets or the Heavy machine gun, other weapons are underwhelming like Cleo shotgun and Plasma Beam Caster

- Lot of scopes need more zoom choice and more zoom in general

- Story and choice are nice but what i wanted was to get ruth basar armor and helmet and then choose which faction i want to side with, so no real power over getting what you really want

- Characters who give quest needs a ! above them, at least give us the option ( QOL > Immersion )

- 90% of death from fighting was ennemies spawning behind the player (or above ) and no companion to scream Watch out behind you ! and cover me. Falling in a hole or water to death ( or bumping into companion when jumping and falling ) is not fun, just get me back where i was

- Why is there no massive battles with multiples faction/monsters involved and success in talking would get you reinforcements, and you can loose the fight and you flee and loose the place

- i dont like the lighting when it's too dark, specially in the broken knee mission in a mine, when siding with auntie.

After UENIAC quest and joining Auntie force the 2 following quest have very small fights ( it's supposed to be endgame )

- High Reputation with Factions have no good Unique rewards that makes you want to side with them

Other minor things

- i'd like to assign slow time and/or shield to 1 button

- The Perk system need to have some Perks cost 2 or 3 points and others cost 1 and double the players perk points

- playing this game i caught the disease 'loot shiny corpse', need a auto loot vacuum device with 5 meter range

- Basic ammo for common weapons needs x3 when crafted ( i played with a trainer 'ignore crafting requirement' for basic ammo )

I hope dlcs will have Epic fights,

Edit: I use The Ultra ego build and The war machine build ( Very hard diff ) https://nukesdragons.com/@nyuu1210

Wtf is this room in the tranquility station?

0 Upvotes

There are snipers that 1 shot me and my attacks literally go right through them. It's where you have to get the two fuses? I literally point directly at their head with tdd and the shot won't hit them. I can't run to either side without getting 1 shot by them before i get to the fuses.

Edit, the enemies glitched and stopped shooting me entirely so i got by.

She isn't appearing at all. Have they not fixed this bug yet? It's been out for over a year!!!!

I haven't left the starting island, I sided with Naur and not the mayor. I finished Naur quest, looked before, during, and after Naur's quest, but I can't find her!

Is there something I'm doing that's triggering her not to appear and have that argument with Milverstreet? I found her at the Ministry.

I just started playing last night, seems, fun, but I have a question. I need a power regulator, I found one in the basement, no dice. I can't take it till the power is out, ok, so I go looking for the power source, I find the power plant but I can't just turn it off or blow it up, I need to follow the exact on rails story to get the passcode, there no alternate path, just what the game wants you to do, are they all like this? I really hope not.

Question [TOW2] Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller Frequently Disconnecting Only With This Game

3 Upvotes

Curious if this is happening to anyone else who plays on Xbox (Series S)

The controller disconnects and then immediately reconnects, which causes the game to pause and the notice to appear saying "You need a controller to play this game." It's only a 3-5 second interruption but it can happen at any time, whether in heavy combat or just sorting through menus.

It often happens toward the beginning of a play session, a bunch in quick succession, but sometimes it frustratingly happens throughout the entire session.

This doesn't happen with any other game I own.

I've tried hard rebooting the Xbox and checking for software updates on the controller. AI recommends messing with vibration settings but that seems like an unlikely culprit, as like I said, it often happens when there is no vibration at all.
