Space RPG in Fallout style with sharp humor and impressive choice freedom
The Outer Worlds is a fun and polished RPG from Obsidian Entertainment - the creators of Fallout: New Vegas. In an exaggerated capitalist space colony, you wake from deep freeze and discover a world ruled by corrupt corporations. Every quest offers multiple solutions - diplomacy, force, stealth, or cunning. Dialogues are clever and humor is witty, companion characters are interesting and developed, and the Flaw system adds a unique dimension. A game that recalls the golden days of classic RPGs.
