The Outer Worlds - Interview @Den of Geeks
- Thread starter Silver
- Start date
I'm semi-interested, but not at $60. I'llwait for the price to drop quite a bit before I look again
I'm interested, but it's Obsidian, so I won't be buying it right away.
100% interest in the game and the people behind it. There are so very few other games and people for which I can state the same, but I am quite happy where we stand now.
My preorder list right now:
1. Outer worlds
2. Wasteland 3
3. Cyberpunk

I've said previously and will repeat it once again. Based on everyhing I've seen and read so far about it, I believe this game will be crowned as 2019. goty at most places.
No, not just RPG of the year, but game of.
Yes, I've joked about some indie yesterday, there were quite a few great titles released so far (not all were RPG) and there is that Rockstar's overhyped mmo being ported to PC, but I'm dead serious here. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's not possible to check everything in detail before the game is released. The potential is however out there.
Of course I'm buying/playing it day#1 (unless, as usual in that period of the year, have to travel for a few days due to job obligations).

The GURPS reference alone made this a great read, thanks for posting this great interview.

Yep, the flaws system sound fun. I intent to play the most deficient and dumb character possible for my first run.
Boyarski and Tim Cain cited Futurama (and Firefly) as inspiration sources so I basically will role-play as Fry.
Shut up and take my money Troik… I mean Obsidian.
Edit: google tells me that "flawest" isn't a word. I put "most deficient" instead but I really think "flawest" should be a word.

It's not that hard to climb rungs one-handed; how else do you carry a paint can up a ladder? The real drawback there is choosing the wrong teammates.

Yeah, Obsidian makes great games, but they're often very unpolished at release. Will wait at least six months until I play this.
I don't think I'll wait that long, but it'll probably be at least 2-3 months for me.
Tbh, I'm a little surprised by how excited some people are. I've watched a lot of footage, and I'm not seeing anything that really stands out about this game. I like the art style, but nothing about the dialogue or combat particularly impresses me.

Much harder on a vertical sewer ladder
If I'm being honest with myself, I'm more excited about the prospect of Tim & Leonard working together again than I am of the game. It certainly looks like a fun game, but the practical certainty of game-breaking bugs and game-breaking patches is a wet towel on my enthusiasm.

PoEII was pretty clean at release, and the fact that it's not an open-world AND not using the Gamebryo engine give me hopes for an okay-ish day one experience. I won't wait anyway…

I waited a year and half to play PoE 2. And Obisidan still managed to break my character with a patch halfway into my playthrough.

That doesn't say much about the state of the game at release but I heartfully agree that modifying core mechanics months after release is a terrible habit, and I hope Obsidian will lose it.
It's like they try to achieve a perfect game for the posterity more than for our entertainment as early (or not so early in your case) buyers. It's disrespectful.

Yeah, PoE 2 was a little rough at release. All one has to do is go back and look at the various discussions from back then. I'll give Obsidian credit though.. they stuck with polishing the game for far longer than most devs do. Maybe a little too long in some ways.

I just finished playing Pillars of Eternity Two last week, and it was excellent, although it's sounding like waiting was the smart call. I much preferred the second offering over the first.
