"B-but Deathclaws are still pretty scary! Outside of Power Armor at least which you should ALWAYS HAVE because it's AWESOME! You just hate new things you CHUD." There's also a sad lack of good Fallout horror mods so even modders who usually preserve the old good stuff and bring it to new games seem to not really do this.

I've heard Dust is a good mod

Having played it extensively, I concur. I've mentioned it and Frost a few times and they're both really good. They're both technically finished so there's no more official updates, doesn't stop people from making addons and such though.

Seconded this, both also make fairly interesting use of established lore for their stories even if some parts feel like a stretch like what happens to some people in Zion. I won't spoil in case people in this thread play them so they can have a blind experience. Both also will fucking brutally kick your ass even with a good build at the start of the game lmfao.
 
I know this is not exactly fallout-related, but I always enjoy Emil's seething when someone tells how shit his game is.

Mention that Outer Worlds is a better space rpg to one of the Bethesda drones and you get a similar meltdown
Tim Cain won btw

I actually was considering bringing that up here yesterday but was busy with some life stuff. It's kinda funny honestly, The Outer Worlds is pretty underwhelming with a mix of bad characters and some diamonds in the rough like Vicar Max but the DLCs where genuinely fantastic in my opinion while Starbound was hot trash and its DLC was even worse.

Yup, say what you want about the base game but Murder on Eridanos and especially Peril on Gorgon are genuine great DLCs. Shame we only got two of them, no modding tools either.
This makes me think that Obsidian can turn OW2 around and makea fantastic sequel, now that they figured out what works and what doesn't in this universe. I definitely want to see corporate nightmares played straight, no humor or jokes just lay it on me and show he how fucking horrid Halcyon really is. At it's best, Gorgon facility and what went on there reminded me of what I imagine Big MT would be like before scientists put their brains in jars and everything became lolsorandom whacky in there.
Murder on Eridanos went back to the more humorous side of things, but it was still better than what we saw in the base game(even tho the "plot twist" was the most predictable thing ever)
This might have just been a fluke, as the DLC was forced to be much more focused than the base game, but I think it worked. Eridanos also had a bit of horror in there, and it was handled quite well even with the humor, which leads me to believe they might have finally figured out a way to balance the two. Outer Worlds still gets shit to this day for how it was handled in the base game, ie without any restraint and in the worst way possible. Doesn't help that the political satire stuff they went for landed about as well as Starfield's "We're the last space explorers!" theme of the main questline.


Speaking of Outer Worlds, I am disappointed we haven't seen a mod that adds weapons or armor from that game. The Corporate Power Armor especially fits right into Fallout, just give us a base version or one that replaces OW corporations with Fallout ones. Hell, it wouldn't be anything new for the game either since we know Nuka Cola and Vim! like to paint their suits of power armor.

My favorite part of the Outer Worlds was being a third wheel to a Jeet lesbian.

Worst quest of the game you can easily skip for no major XP loss. If you want to criticize the game, I suggest actually playing it instead of parroting some youtuber or /v/ posts.
I should also point out that her writer was actually switched partway around development. After the first planet, where she is best written and most consistent, she was taken over by someone else and it shows. It looks like the development of this game was a mess, ironic considering that Obsidian specifically went with a smaller scale project to avoid this problem.

I've played the game myself. And it's the worst rpg I've ever played and one of the worst games I ever completed.
The combat is bad. The story is retarded. None of the characters are likeable. Your companions especially so. The quests are mostly fetch quests and boring dungeons. There is no exploration, loot is almost never unique and when it is it's pointless with no new approaches to do quests or new quests to be found. The environments look straight out of an MMO to how formulaic and lifeless they feel. There are hardly any real RPG mechanics or deviations. You just have some dogshit skill checks in some speech options. The character building it's self is piss easy and boring. I passed every check without looking up a guide. And there are no cool perks or build options that change how the game works.
I don't know how anyone can say the Outer Wilds is any good. I didn't spend any money on it and I feel ripped of. The game also is very clearly just stealing shit from pop culture as well as trying and failing to copy Prey (2016)'s homework.

Fair enough, but it is still better than Starfield and Fallout 76, that was my original point. Tim Cain reigns supreme once again!
And for the record, I didn't pay a single cent for this game either. Best purchase I've made in 2019!
 
Outer Worlds is unironically dogshit, and anyone who thinks it's better than any of the Bethesda titles has been sucking Obsidian cock so long they can't tell up from down. I'd genuinely rather play Starfield tbh, the writing in both is bad but at least Starfield lets me hoard items like a gremlin and make a cool ship.

My biggest problem with Outer Worlds was that it doesn't take itself seriously.

That is actually one of my biggest problems with it. This is why Peril of Gorgon is the best piece of content in my opinion, as that is one of the only times the game doesn't joke around or try to be silly and comes out better for it. PoG very much blows out Shattered Space out of the water, which was the original point, it also fixes the problem of inconsistent writing and atmosphere.
I believe I said as much in the Starfield thread, but SS needed to be AT LEAST as good as PoG to gather some goodwill around it and try to salvage some sort of playerbase. It didn't. Even at their worst, Obsidian is still better than Bethesda.

If only the proportions were reversed. I love Old World Blues which is a silly piece of content added to otherwise serious story. In case of Outer Worlds it's a piece of serious storytelling added to otherwise silly story and it doesn't work nearly as well as in case of NV and OWB.
