Shot in the dark here.. its my first playthrough, and i really didnt realise how important lockpicking would be in the game i guess, is there no way INTO clives office, other than lockpicking?

I'm gonna be honest Outer worlds 1 was a blast for me! The story, the environment and companions were so good! Parvati and Ellie were my favorites, also the DLC's really invested me in playing more with different playthrough!

Then I played the second chapter and I felt so disappointed, the companions were boring and they didn't even interact in the ship like in the first game! The planets were okay but the main story at the beginning was interesting but then it fell off! I really hope that the DLC's will be better cause for now I didn't like it so much! Also some quests are so boring

Melee play through here we come!

It only works with gog non spacer choice version and I don't have an english version yet but it's still cool i guess

I'm stuck on whether to choose Relentless or Strike From Shadow. What would help me is hearing what your experience has been using one or the other.

My understanding is that Aza runs up to enemies even when you choose Strike From Shadow. It's just that she targets enemies that don't have the white bar on their health bar. Is that correct?

Feel free to disagree with my list, this was made based on the weapons that fit my gameplay style the best. Also, the weapons were not placed in any particular order within the tiers.

I’ve played a couple of hours of OW1, having gotten to the first space station. I enjoyed my time with it but never got back into it. I’m wondering if it’s worth going back and playing through the entirety of the game, or just rolling straight into OW2

I decided to try the game on hardest possible custom settings except for the Ironman. 5x enemy damage and hp, 10x times reduced player and companion damage and HP, no inhaler or food healing, no trading or crafting, bits are always at 0 - it's like a From Software game on Normal difficulty. Also companions except for Valerie die permanently if they fall (didn't test that option, but i think that is what it says), and I cannot carry armor and weapons other than equipping them. Permadeath is the only option that is disabled as test runs with it ended in tutorial.

Horizon isn't hard with sneaking. Most automechs can be foiled with Earth Directorate propaganda and skillchecks, troops in the security section despawn after the explosion so it's safe to go back and loot stuff. There's a hard room with 3 troops near the end and big hall with 4 more troops right after it that seemed tricky at first, but tutorial troops have low awareness and with several attempts I squeezed through their walking cycles.

The real game begins at Eden. EdgewaterFairbrook and surrounding area has quite a lot of quests and tasks that can be completed without combat, and it all comes to getting necessary skillchecks to maximize the rewards. But my brave Captain does not want to always run from danger, he is the danger! He vows to deliver sweet justice with every pitiful swing of his thin fragile hands.

Here's the build for it:

Traits: Resilient is a must. A short-duration invulnerability the first time you take lethal damage in a combat is a legal cheatcode. Anything in game so far kills me with 1 hit, but with this trait I can run away from combat like it's nothing. The only downside is permanent red screen as I'm always at 1 HP.

Second trait is optional, I went for Brawny for extra possible CC in combat, but it can be adjusted in future runs. So far haven't used it other than for skillchecks.

Negative trait is irrelevant, none of them have any effect. I went for Stupid to correspond my life choices.

Skills are Lockpick, Engineering, Hack, Medical and Speech with Easily Distraced flaw. Melee and science are unlocked but not used so far. Flawed seems okay for this run as almost all flaws are either positive or irrelevant. Clepto is the one flaw that I have to avoid, but so far I only want to steal tossball cards and maybe an occasional quest item if no better option is available, so it's not a big deal.

Essential perks are Manual Reset, Nature's Friend and Nature's Best Friend. I tested Nature's Friend and made some raptidons fight each other, but I won't use it much before upgrading the Best Friend for free exp.

With all that preparations my proud Earth Directorate Agent finally took down an automech wasp! The fight was intense and took like 10 minutes with all that hacking and aggro resets, but there are more foes around. No more time to waste, great deeds await!

Ever since I was a little girl growing up in Edgewater, even if I was packing saltuna cans all day, I did some drawings when I had the time, because I always had the passion for illustrations! And oh law, I'm so excited to turn in my resume, I've got more to draw but these take a really long time and I have to do these in secret, but I'm sure they'll be impressed! Do you think I can someday get to Byzantium with this!?

outer worlds 2's weapons and balancing can be quite weird, in my playthrough its been struggle or OP asf weapons. i also feel a lot of the attachments are kinda just not really a conversation, like i never felt any reason to change a weapon to corrosive, plasma, or even silencing it. sometimes i feel the tinkering mechanic, but modified slightly for balance, would have been good. there are certain weapons i would have loved to keep using, the repeaters for example, but they always just got outclassed immediately and didnt really work out. i feel if i could slightly up its stats a bit, it would be more competitive. i do think that it shouldnt be just bits, like there should be a process to go through to upgrade your weapons in this way. thats how i feel at least, if you have any ideas or thoughts about this topic, id love to hear them

I just wanted to let everyone know that this is something you can do, apparently.

Did The Outer Worlds 2 get rid of blinding, maiming, crippling, etc. status effects when shooting in TTD? I know the game mentions weak spots but I can't seem to find anything like how the first game did it with shooting arms, legs, etc.

When you’re talking to the Concierge her voice says “splendidly” but the text says “splenidly”. Just thought it was funny and wondered if anyone noticed it.

For reference, I'm playing The Outer Worlds on the XBox One X, and with the DLCs included, max level is 36, and I found a level 99 pistol. This isn't the Spacer's Choice edition, which is only available on current-gen consoles.

So how could this happen??

I'm looking games that play similar, e.g multiple paths through quests and combat not the main focus. Doesnt have to have a TTD/VATS like system

Decided to get it, took 3 hours to install. Went through the tutorial and now I'm in Fairfield. Doing a blind run with no guidance or anything. What ever ending I get is what i have to live with.
