Outer Worlds 2

[wndrbr]

Might be the dark horse of 2025 RPGOTY tbh, everything else I can think of right now was awful

not saying much!

well there's avowed (awful), kcd 2 (gay), expedition 33 (rugpulls you halfway through the game with a crappy plot twist), ac yasuke (lol), vtmb2 (not even an rpg), and a bunch of weirdo jap games no one played except Val the Muffia boss.

Some cool flaws now, got this one from spreading my skill points out.

► Show Spoiler

The system was really half-baked in the first one

it's still stupid how you can just reject flaws.

Flaws should've been a part of a character generation, like Fallout's traits.

Those exist, they're part of the trait system(positive & negative traits)

this flaw from the screenshot looks like it would've been a perfect trait, not something you pick up midway through the game (and not something you can just dismiss).

Flaws are meant to be reactive to your playstyle, the game watches what you do and basically says "yeah, you want to play into that? Here's a flaw you can take"
tbh I like it

Found a secret flaw that you get from accepting too many flaws

@logincrash ***** you finished Veilguard.

I 100%-ed Veilguard, thank you very much.

But why?

[logincrash]

As ****** as Bloodlines 2 was, at least it wasn't 83 GB. All game developers should be flayed alive and then rolled in salt and set on fire afterwards.

Also, 7 GB for an artbook? ******, you're insane.

I 100%-ed Veilguard, thank you very much.

But why?

Because I love the Dragon Age setting and wanted to see how much they tried to ruin it.

They already started pissing on the lore with Inquisition, you didn't have to play veiguard, or 100% that ****, to see this.

[rusty_shackleford]

welp, game bugged out on me and I can't continue a main quest down the route I want to go so I might stop and wait for patches

[wndrbr]

it's probably an unreal engine powered application that's basically a powerpoint slideshow with music playing in the background.

It's a Unity application. Avowed had the same thing.

What the ****? Back in my day artbooks were... books, albeit digital.

[rusty_shackleford]

hitting a few other bugs too, had another one with the same quest, companion has a speech bubble stuck on them(means he wants to talk, but there's no dialogue), etc.,
Guess you should wait for patches

They do the same with soundtracks. It's no longer just a folder with a bunch of mp3 or flac files, now it's an entire unreal/unity application, and all of the tracks are baked into game archives.

Gonna bake these devs into an archive of my own, see how they like it

Say what you will about The Outer Worlds and Avowed but they were polished releases. First the Avowed patch, now this, Obsidian's slippin'.

Obsidian has long ago been buried after slipping and cracking its head open on the pavement. What's happening currently is akin to a necrophile graverobber raping the rotten corpse. And the games released are the corpse gas escaping from every orifice.

well there's avowed (awful), kcd 2 (gay), expedition 33 (rugpulls you halfway through the game with a crappy plot twist), ac yasuke (lol), vtmb2 (not even an rpg), and a bunch of weirdo jap games no one played except Val the Muffia boss.

Also funny because none of these games are RPGs, just action games with barely relevant RPG features. I think (never played any).

Everything is a RPG now, and no one cares about the meaning of that acronym anymore. And if you dare to remind all those tourists and **** what a ROLE-PLAYING GAME is supposed to be, you'll only end up with a headache.

Got offered a flaw because I'm a fast reader

…And the game thought I was skipping dialogue.

That's the black coded "white boy reads too fast" trait

That is ******* hilarious and perfect for people who just wanna game

In first cinematic strong tall manly women punches weak pathetic soyboy.

meh, removing it, I'll try it again when the dlc drops

No one can handle this much warp and come out untainted.

[Breathe]

I've only watched 40 mins of Synth playing it and I've had enough. Woke out the *** - in the visuals, the characters, and the writing.

I've kept in mind what Thulsa has mentioned, but haven't seen anything firsthand that dissuades me from watching him.
