![]() This scale is also permanent – I found no way to reduce the hate a faction has for you (as it’s two separate bars). The more positive it is, the bigger discounts you get and the friendlier the people are piss off the faction and expect to be shot on sight and refused business. Reputation is a major part of the game, every faction you meet has a Positive and Negative bar. ![]() Or, you can fuel the city and then either kill or force the Fat Cat to leave so the Hippies can move in and take over the town – every choice changes the lives of the people within the game. However, after speaking to the rebels, you can instead send all the power to them, thus pissing off the Fat Cat and increasing your reputation with the Hippies. One such example, on the first planet, sees you being tasked with diverting power from a small rebel settlement and sending all the power to the major city on the planet so they can power their machines and force the rebels to return to their jobs where they belong – in the factories. The Outer Worlds almost demands multiple playthroughs – not in terms of the trophies, as most of them simply require you to make a choice and not a ‘certain’ choice, but because you’ll want to. So, it’s up to you to enrol new companions, travel between various planets, resolve local and wide-spread conflicts, and ultimately help revive your fellow colonists and take down the corporate-ran agencies who will stop at nothing to remove the threat to their plans, you. ![]() Sadly, the smuggler isn’t too smart and ends up with a fate akin to the Wicked Witch… Your mission: supply Phineas with a substance he can use to revive the rest of the colonists and stand by him as he takes on the political agenda in Halcyon, an agenda that isn’t quite the one described within all of the marketing materials and promises for this once prosperous place. Once you’re out, you’re sent to Terra 2 in hopes of meeting up with a smuggler who will aid you. I thought this was pretty cool as it’s much better than just getting your face restructured or just ‘being’ there with no explanation as to why. This is where the character creation comes in, as you choose from multiple options such as what to invest skill points into, what your background was, and what you look like, Phineas will pull the character you create from the thousands aboard the ship. ![]() Now, having played the game and experienced the beauty the game offers, I can’t imagine it looking any better than this PS4 version, but if it does, it must look freaking gorgeous! Also, thanks to a clarification tweet from publisher Private Division, we know that the PS4 version I’ve been playing was 1440p, whereas the Xbox Version (which is in GamePass on day one) will be 4K with higher-quality assets. Although they’ve developed other hits, such as South Park and the Stick of Truth and the critically acclaimed Pillars of Eternity I and II, the team have returned to the Fallout format in their latest game, The Outer Worlds – a game which could be perfectly summed up, at first glance, as ‘Fallout in Space’…ĭespite the developers stating not to expect a massive open world, like in games such as Fallout 4, and to expect a smaller and more condensed experience, my first blind playthrough (which didn’t even include all side quests or finding all colleagues) took me around 25-30 hours. Obsidian Entertainment, for most people, is most well known for Fallout: New Vegas, the follow up to Bethesda’s Fallout 3 on PC and the last generation of consoles. ![]()
