First impression of the Outer Worlds 2 is practically shining, to say the least. I’m getting much better vibes mechanics-wise than I did 1, as has been said ad nauseam by the rest of the internet, lol.

My Commander, Diana, is a Capital-S-Suave Gambler whose hand got cut off in a game gone wrong. (In reality I hadn’t even noticed after building off the preset I picked that she had a prosthetic. It wasn’t the one I would choose, but it still gives a fun layer to her character.)

Im trying to go for an ice-cold femme fatale vibe with her, which is a little hard to do when most of the witty responses are cheeky as opposed to “layered,” but I’m having fun (and should have expected that with an Obsidian game). Usually my first-playthrough characters are just facsimiles of myself, but this time I’m going for a more roleplay-write-as-you-go type run.

Soooort of spoilers under the cut.

Def enjoying the game, although I will say the premise gives me a “both sides are bad!” vibe, almost. Now, I only JUST got to Fairfield, but it feels like… “unbridled capitalism is bad, but so is autocracy, guys!” Like… yes, we know this. But! I haven’t met the other factions, so who knows.

Also, the Earth Directorate is most certainly an allegory for Western imperialism, per Sandoval’s “we are best suited to lead them, they just don’t understand it yet” drivel. (I will say I didn’t enjoy the small convo you had in the prologue with him, where you could end it abruptly by calling him all sorts of things. Sure he was a pig, but what if we’re roleplaying a pig ourselves, just less fanatical?)

Happy to see Obsidian return to its “go get your revenge!” roots. De Vries is very compelling. I might actually love her ngl.

I love the whole Emily/Talia relationship, but what did Talia expect? I'm going to be married and have a girlfriend on the side???
