The Outer Worlds

I'm not big on Fallout, yet I'm a tad excited about Outer Worlds which looks like it will be not grey, funny in what should be a good Western RPG.

Have you played New Vegas mas? This looks so much like it and I am consequently very excited.

Never played NV as I didn't like Fallout 3

Obsidian really did put their own spin on it, while they are similar on a surface level NV is in a different league when it comes to roleplay and quest design, with all the interacting factions and true player agency. Bethesda moved even further away from that with Fallout 4 which is why Outer Worlds is so exciting

New Vegas was excellent - the faction system really made your quest choices matter and made your character feel like part of a world as opposed to a messianic hero figure coming to liberate the wastelands. I'd imagine that quality of writing will be present in The Outer Worlds.

I hope they have some of the dialogue options in TOW linked to your skills. That was great fun in NV.

I ran a poll on my twitter on what to play next with Luigi's Mansion 3 actually winning but had Andy along with a few others talk about Outer Worlds.

Mainly Andy telling me I wouldn't really like it as I don't like Fallout 3. Meaning of course I'm playing this and not LM3, I'm only on the second place (think it's some sort of space station) and so far really liking it.

I get a real firefly/serenity vibe from the game along with Mass Effect with the companions, quests for them but it's played in first person also as you shoot things it's clearly a FPS
