I know Outerworlds wasn’t received as well as was expected but I honestly really liked it a lot! The companions were interesting and I liked doing their quests, the world and the general ironic tone of it all made me enjoy spending time there. I mean, the gunplay certainly isn’t as good as, say, Borderlands and if looter shooter aren’t your thing, this won’t change anyone’s mind. And yet, I had fun with it and I do hope for a more refined second installment!
Personally, I had no issue with it. MS have so many RPG developers under their wing now, that it’s good they all have their own identity in game styles, Bethesda makes the BIG RPGs, Obsidian make the smaller more focused ones, etc.
Which other Obsidian titles felt like that? Neverwinter Nights 2; South Park: The Stick Of Truth; and Fallout New Vegas all felt like very well fleshed out games to me. I don’t think I’ve played anything else from their catalogue.
Dont get me wrong, obsidian has created some of my favorite games. Fallout New Vegas is a masterpiece, but it was a rushed hot mess on launch.
Knights of the old republic 2 is the best example. To be fair its also a masterpiece IMHO.
Never winter 2? I’m struggling to recall, but my impression is that it felt empty compared to 1.
Pillars of eternity set up an amazing world and system, then dialed in the ending with the excuse that the sequel would complete the story. Which it didn’t.
Honestly I thought that it was more bare-bones than, say Fallout, because this was Obsidian’s attempt at a large-scale RPG without the backing of a big time publisher like Bethesda, LucasArts, Ubisoft etc. I had no idea that it was purposefully made more shallow to cater to more casual players.
