This is the first in a set of five videos exploring the design of The Outer Worlds. Make sure to subscribe (bit.ly/noclipsubscribe) to get updates as the next episodes go live. We're almost at half a million subs and would really like to celebrate by socially isolating with some beers.
Glad to hear there are more to follow, loved playing this game and looking forward to more detail of how it was made. Well done on still getting content out in these difficult times!
I'm so glad that with Outer Worlds Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky are finally getting the recognition they deserve. These two guys are right up there with Hideo Kojima and Ken Levine. EVERY game they've made together was a masterpiece held back only by technical issues.
In terms of "videogame journalism," you are on a different level. I grew up with Fallout and Fallout 2, and it shaped me. Thank you for all your good work. You're head and shoulders, my friend.
I'm always afraid coming into new channels that they'll end up being super negative hate mongers. I was very please with this channel and the work. Solid. No hate for clicks/views. Just solid content. Awesome stuff. So, full agree I guess is what I'm saying.
This channel has been my main motivation to keep coding. Always felt like I was never taken seriously when I said I want to make video games for a living. Seeing other people so passionate about a shared interest in a professional manner is refreshing. Especially when most media content out there for video games is just for fun. It's nice to see my dream isn't unattainable, or some kind of pipe dream, but a realistic, and rewarding field.
c# developer here, I understand what you mean entirely. Just today I was learning more about incorporating scripts as animation events to add more detail to character animations and then I watch content like this to keep me wanting to finish my projects whenever I start to feel burnout. please excuse the run-on sentence
Same for me quite surprisingly. I'm early in my coding "career" and the route I chose might not be the optimal for game dev where my passion lies, because I want to get financial security first. This means that I do a lot of studying and coding non-game things and very low level stuff at the moment, which is sometimes not very interesting. My goal however is to pivot towards the gaming side of things slowly. I'm just now for example building a VM that runs code I myself compile with my own compiler and the VM basically runs a game of sorts with that code, so very low level stuff. My end goal is to work at a game company developing better AI to games, or something along those lines. I see huge potential there for innovation, but the road to there is often really demotivating. These Noclip docs are really helpful when ever I feel like not working. I hope you kept at it and are thriving.
Do you know what genius looks like? It looks like this 20:07 transition where an interviewee scratching the lav microphone mid-awnser was used as the audio cue for a transition supported by a glitch effect. Amazing salvage!
Man, I noticed the transition immediately because I hadn't seen a single other transition in the video like it. But I hadn't noticed the guy scratching his mic. Now it all makes sense.
I've watched 3 videos. All 3 have been good. Today, I'm finally subbing. Some of us are just slow to trust. We see a video that matches our opinion that day. We trust that site to be news. They end up being a hate monger who just wants the to push the negative. So yeah... trust issues. It'll happen. It's a process. 12 steps and all.
This! The score as a whole is fantastic, but the main theme is just one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard in a game. I bet all of us just waited in the menu just to listen to it!
@@yaboyjay7202 uhmm ruclips.net/video/V70aqXNy0MY/видео.html ^I'd say that's one of my fave bits of music in games.... just sheer hardcore techno with a sick beat...
Man I loved playin this game. And hearing how they didn’t want Outer Wilds to get sidelined because they put so much love into THAT game makes me respect these guys so much more. Can’t wait for the next parts
Honestly, I thought this game could've seen some massive improvements, but in almost every moment of me playing it, I felt so entranced by the world and the stories that take place in it. Can't wait to see how they scale things up for a sequel/DLC
@@Rex1987 why would you watch this if you haven't completed this game yet? Aren't you afraid of spoilers? Felix and Max are two npc companions if I remember correctly. Also, pretty sure you can play it through xbox gamepass for pc.
@@CheriptheRipper Yes they are, Max is referring to Vicar Max from the first village you go in the game and Felix is from the big ship you go after finishing the village main quest
Tim and Leonard are like an old married couple! It's really refreshing to see these days in the videogame industry, I hope they keep Obsidian strong and healthy. In regards to the game length, I 100% agree. I have hundreds of hours in KOTOR 2, a long play-through is 30-35 hours. Played through it more than 10 times. Pillars of Eternity, that is a 60-70 hour game... I've only played it once. It was way too long, 50 hours and I would've been happy.
I feel like this game is the perfect blueprint for what could come later. People have been really hating on it, and yeah it does leave a lot to be desired when compared to say Fallout New Vegas, but that's to be expected with a new IP imo, it's a huge risk. They didn't have all the money in the world or the people and they didn't have the majority of everything already built for them and I think they did a great job with what they set out to do and I hope they can build on that, especially with how well the game performed and with Microsoft's support. I'm very excited to see what they create next.
That's their fault for expecting a sequel to Fallout NV but in space. It's surprising that tempering expectations is such a foreign concept to them and that any game should be a masterpiece. Bloodlines had its flaws but it still had a good following thanks to its rpg mechanics and world building.
@@trblemayker5157 the thing is, that the Bloodlines was technically flawed, but in terms of lore, characters, quests - it was a masterpiece from the beginning. OW was a few steps back not even comparing to New Vegas, but to latest Obsidian games
It has great dialogue options and voice acting, that's about it. The gameplay was uninspired and repetitive. Incredibly small play spaces for this type of game in this generation, after 10 hours I put it down and had no desire to come back.
Such a great duo of humble dudes. The fact that he was concerned their naming could negatively affect a game from a different, indie company goes to show what kind of human beings they are. It shows in their games too. Their art is a reflection of their heart. It's in the right place.
Outer Worlds is such a "personal" feeling game. I really cared about all the characters and it felt like my journey. I really hope they will continue the franchise! The world has so much potential! Great interview!
The Internet Historian did a really good one, "The Engoodening of No Man's Sky" about the whole saga. It's not straight journalism, but it's a great in-depth story
I love these guys. They hit on all of the things I really enjoyed about The Outer Worlds. I still hope that some of that cut content comes back in the form of DLC. I just want to get back in that crazy universe. I also enjoyed that rock climbing analogy. Being one of those people that was overwhelmed by early RPGs younger person, I've always been drawn to games where the systems were not as complex. An RPG that thrives on the story, characters, and interactive gameplay is always going to appeal more to me than one that has you min-maxing every 10 minutes for gear drops and level-ups.
man.... Iʻve already played through this game seven times... but Iʻm feeling like I might need to go through it again. There are so many fun details built into the game.
My favorite game from last year. I really love what you guys are doing- telling the story behind our favorite games. It's easy to forget the amount of work and inspiration behind our favorite games. And you guys really detail it. This type of content is so important to the industry. Thank you, for allowing these developers to share their stories with us.
@@davelanger what would you do in outer worlds 2 anyway. continuing the story somehow od creating a entire new story on a different planet in a different galaxy?
@@businessmail4929 Continue the story. The Dev's would probably have to pick a lore ending since everyones ending was different. Maybe just go with the ending that the majority of the people had.
@@davelanger huh. i would say for a dlc that might be perfect. but as an antire new game? since it's "outer worlds" i would say they could start somewhere further away in a new world with your character travelling and starting a "new life". Well since you said the majority i had the ending with not being the president or whatever it was called. i decided to be on my own still. my story would've continue me being somewhere new. maybe in a another galaxy.
@@businessmail4929 They could also just have you unthawn a new person, and have it not tied to anything you did. That would work too. Maybe set it like 100 years later.
Love the positivity and concern these guys have for a smaller studio hearing them talk about Outer Wilds at the end. Both excellent games in their own right!
The stories about Eric DeMilt's playthroughs starting around 21:25 amuse me greatly The idea of a boss playing an employee's thoroughly-storied RPG game by punching everybody in the stomach is hilarious to me
Your docus made me appreciate video games more in general. Also that last bit with the The Outer Wilds and them interacting and laughing it off was heartfelt.
Unreal 4 is such a gorgeous engine for color and lighting. I'm noticing this again now watching this video on Outer Worlds, but it's also struck me recently with the Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
The quality of your content is some of the best on RUclips. Telling stories that people want to hear whilst giving those behind the games the opportunity to speak openly without fear of their words being twisted or used as 'clickbait'. Cannot wait for more!
Hello all. I'm very late to the game but I'm so glad I decided to jump aboard. I'm loving this game immensely having pushed aside other stuff I was currently playing. The Outer Worlds is absolute perfection. I've only just begun my adventure and was so excited to hear we'll be getting DLC for it, I simply don't want this adventure to end. Thank you for such an amazing experience.
Thank you noclip. If this game didn't get the in-depth development documentation it deserved and all that information was lost to time I would cry. But this video series exists. I guess that means you made me smile!
A phenomenal game. A very rare example of a writing where I was not constrained to choose just the least worst line in the dialog, I was actually seeing a line I would say if I was there. Incredible level of immersion.
This game was truly a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed every moment of it and it is exciting to see the passion in the eyes of its creator. Cannot wait to see what they come up with next
What a lovely video! I loved getting both the itty-gritty details of the game development process, as well as the wider perspective of what makes a good game and how different disciplines interact. And while I would have loved to get some more time to spend with my companions (especially Max, hands down one of the best characters in an RPG in recent years), I also appreciated not having to spend 100 of hours getting to the end. A great game that I'm happy having played, and a really good documentary about it! I'm looking forward to the rest!
I love Tim's confused "no reason to... be... not" at the end lmao I was gifted the Outer Worlds by a friend a year ago, this doc might have inspired me to finally give it a spin :)
I for one simultaneously love the game and feel like it's lacking in some ways. Hearing them talk about the cuts they had to make explained it pretty well for me. If it weren't for clever writing, and how much you can interact with the characters in the game, I don't think I'd love it nearly as much as I do. Honestly, I can see why people don't like it. I was interacting with the characters to the extent of every dialogue option, and exploring every nook and cranny there was in the game, I was enjoying the hell out of it. They were right about players coming back for more, too. I played on normal the first round (I'm not super skilled), and twice again on story mode to kind of rush through to see the different ways of playing. Also, yes. The end felt rushed.. Hearing them discuss how they balance dark and silly was my favourite part of this, it's their signature mood in games, and meshes well with my own personality and what I prefer in entertainment.. I'm hoping DLCs come out soon because I have a serious need for more of this game!
I literally started playing this game a few days ago and this is probably going to end up one of my favorite RPGs. Tip of the hat to the whole team at Obsidian and off course to NoClip for this amazing documentary
I haven't played this yet... but I don't feel like rushing through it just to watch these soon... should I just watch these and rely on my shitty memory to forget most of it by the time I get around to playing it... who knows. Great work once again Danny and Jezza o/
I loved the little bit at the end where you asked them about The Outer Wilds. It's always interesting to see how people handle problems or situations like that. Great question
I love when Danny talks about how good the “Arse” is in a game. He always has great things to say about the imagination of the “arse” director and how long they spend to make the “arses” look so good! (PS i’m irish too, I know what he is actually saying :)
I love you guys so much ... there’s a lot of making of movies and music and other art forms out there, but when it comes to the human side of making specific and important story driven games you have no equal...
Completely forgot that this is a UE4 game. Saw the early prototyping shots and immediately yelled out in glee "Manny!" Very much looking forward to this series, thanks Danny and Jeremy for all the work you do.
In a time of "game as a service" crap and microtransactions BS, having the chance to get this kind game (singleplayer, storydriven, offline), created by an awesome team and this two legends on lead, its an absolute privilege for me, an oldschool pc gamer :) Thanks Obsidian, Tim and Leonard for making this happen, and also thanks for the video, looking forward to the next one
Great documentary, yalls are always the best! Excellent quality and you guus go very in depth with your interview which REALLY helps tell the whole story. I loved the outer worlds, great game by Obsidian, good to see they got acquired by Xbox that way they dont have to worry about financial problems. Cannot wait for the outer worlds DLC and their new games
As a student in the computer science field with a huge interest toward video game creation, this channel is showing me stuff I don't think I could ever access alone.
Watching this makes me wish we could see a documentary on Obsidian's other works, specifically KotOR II. I've always wondered what this studio was like on the inside.
Yesssss! I just finishes this game, and it is SO well done! My only complaints are very few, and pretty minor. (Sublight final quest options, Felix quest, and not knowing whether to go in guns blazing, or sneaky in Tartarus) SO glad that these two got back together to make a game! It really shows in the gameplay. I absolutely loved the humor and gameplay in Fallout 1, and this game is a fantastic continuation of that. :) Thanks for making the documentary about it!
Had a great time, would have regretted buying it though. Very happy for Game Pass. Loved it... now where's the other 2 acts to this story? Great video. Doing solid work... you... guy, people, group, oxford comma users, whomever. Top notch. Jolly good. Pip pip and all that.
This was a fantastic documentary. Thanks for making it. PS: I'm on playthrough number 1 and just about to hit 100 hours and haven't beaten the game yet. I'm taking my time doing all the sidequests, getting really into the lore, and I haven't even touched the DLC yet besides downloading it. This game is critically underrated from people comparing it to related games. Taking it on it's own merits (and drawbacks) it's amidst my top open world games along with Skyrim and Breath of the Wild.
Just like Todd Howard and Bethesda, its great to see the absolute passion these guys bring to the industry. I look forward to the continuing future of both Bethesda and Obsidian. They are creating my favorite experiences.
This game is amazing and critically underrated. Dark humor, great writing, it doesn't tell you the entire meta stories and lets you connect so many dots yourself while still being cohesive with it's main narratives.
The one thing that I somewhat startled by was how short it was. I felt like I didn’t get my fill. It was also a little off putting that the awesome character designer didn’t have any impact within the actual game. In other words, it was always 1st person. Other than those points, I thought that the game was well done.
Considering all the cuts they made along the way, surely they can add some of it back in, especially the last one or two, as extra content with a DLC. I am looking forward to playing this game some day, when it's made available on Steam. I would also have liked (and do prefer) a GOG option as well.
The Outer Worlds is a very solid foundation for a new franchise. The main quest does come off as rushed in the end whether it was lack of time or budget, both, or something else. Still, I still get the urge to clean up sidequests after the credits have rolled and I might try different builds/runs. The Outer Worlds is a charming game that keeps me coming back for more. I know Obsidian is busy on Avowed now, but I will patiently wait for TOW2.
I feel like this is the sort of game Cyberpunk should have been. It’s amazing what a smaller studio can achieve when thoughtfulness is poured into every aspect of the process. Cyberpunk posed in its marketing as this vast, multi-layered landscape that turned out to be a huge shallow let-down (amazing visual world building and graphics notwithstanding) whereas if they had narrowed the scope of it from the start like these guys did and added more depth to it it might have turned out to be a much more interesting game. It really shows how humility can pay big dividends if you pay attention to what you’re making. As usual all down to bad exec decision making rather than devs. For all the pre-launch PR hype about Cyberpunk being the big triple-A game, the OW is the one that ends up looking like a high quality, hand-crafted video game experience. Brilliant video as always noclip 👍
The environmental and story background settings actually kinda reminded me of Borderlands 2 when it was released, that game also has the different corporation stuff and feels very Wild West
I didn't finish playing the Outerworlds and I'm ashamed to say it. I just didn't like it honestly; but I love Obsidian. I can't wait for their next project.

I love this game. But what I think I love even more is how this game brought two people closer together.
I'd love to see Chris Avellone join the crew in a next game.
@@fernandonunes7608 yes and no because he have many projects but also now that Obsidian owned by Microsoft probably Avellone will return

Best thing about this games was the first time I launched it and heard that opening song.

Very late? No. A year later isn’t very late.
Great stuff man. I really love Tim's mountain metaphor for difficulty, really shows they wanna show the whole story to everyone.
Tim Cain is a legend. His personal RUclips channel is awesome.
Digital Foundry and Noclip never disappoint with their content. Love from Nepal.
Christ, it's been a couple of years but the feels that just hearing the music in the background really gives me feelings.
Two Veteran devs, so very much down to Earth and having the time of their life making the Games they love. Boy this was very satisfying to watch.
Funny, I just got The Outer Worlds yesterday and was playing it all night. Then I wake up to see this in my notifications. Cool!
Thank you noclip. If this game didn't get the in-depth development documentation it deserved and all that information was lost to time I would cry. But this video series exists. I guess that means you made me smile!
A phenomenal game. A very rare example of a writing where I was not constrained to choose just the least worst line in the dialog, I was actually seeing a line I would say if I was there. Incredible level of immersion.
I loved playing this game, great story, great characters and beautiful colors. It really shines how they set up the immersion of the game.
This game was truly a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed every moment of it and it is exciting to see the passion in the eyes of its creator. Cannot wait to see what they come up with next
Just finished this last night! Perfect timing for the video showing up on the feed
Thank you guys, this video is truly remarkable and I'm really waiting for next parts.
This was absolutely wonderful. Easily my favorite game of 2019, cant wait for the future installments of this series!
What a lovely video! I loved getting both the itty-gritty details of the game development process, as well as the wider perspective of what makes a good game and how different disciplines interact. And while I would have loved to get some more time to spend with my companions (especially Max, hands down one of the best characters in an RPG in recent years), I also appreciated not having to spend 100 of hours getting to the end. A great game that I'm happy having played, and a really good documentary about it! I'm looking forward to the rest!
I love Tim's confused "no reason to... be... not" at the end lmao
I was gifted the Outer Worlds by a friend a year ago, this doc might have inspired me to finally give it a spin :)
This is a really good documentary, these game studios have very beautiful stories beneath their wonderful games
I need to get back into this game.
Actual closed captioning! thank you (a rarity in RUclips).
I for one simultaneously love the game and feel like it's lacking in some ways. Hearing them talk about the cuts they had to make explained it pretty well for me. If it weren't for clever writing, and how much you can interact with the characters in the game, I don't think I'd love it nearly as much as I do. Honestly, I can see why people don't like it. I was interacting with the characters to the extent of every dialogue option, and exploring every nook and cranny there was in the game, I was enjoying the hell out of it. They were right about players coming back for more, too. I played on normal the first round (I'm not super skilled), and twice again on story mode to kind of rush through to see the different ways of playing. Also, yes. The end felt rushed.. Hearing them discuss how they balance dark and silly was my favourite part of this, it's their signature mood in games, and meshes well with my own personality and what I prefer in entertainment.. I'm hoping DLCs come out soon because I have a serious need for more of this game!
I literally started playing this game a few days ago and this is probably going to end up one of my favorite RPGs. Tip of the hat to the whole team at Obsidian and off course to NoClip for this amazing documentary
I haven't played this yet... but I don't feel like rushing through it just to watch these soon... should I just watch these and rely on my shitty memory to forget most of it by the time I get around to playing it... who knows. Great work once again Danny and Jezza o/
I loved the little bit at the end where you asked them about The Outer Wilds. It's always interesting to see how people handle problems or situations like that. Great question
I love when Danny talks about how good the “Arse” is in a game. He always has great things to say about the imagination of the “arse” director and how long they spend to make the “arses” look so good! (PS i’m irish too, I know what he is actually saying :)
the fact the game is relatively short in terms of RPG was BIG PLUS for me since I don't have so much time as I used to have.
Thanks so much for this! Love Obsidian games! The Outer Worlds was good fun.
I love you guys so much ... there’s a lot of making of movies and music and other art forms out there, but when it comes to the human side of making specific and important story driven games you have no equal...
Completely forgot that this is a UE4 game. Saw the early prototyping shots and immediately yelled out in glee "Manny!"
Very much looking forward to this series, thanks Danny and Jeremy for all the work you do.
In a time of "game as a service" crap and microtransactions BS, having the chance to get this kind game (singleplayer, storydriven, offline), created by an awesome team and this two legends on lead, its an absolute privilege for me, an oldschool pc gamer :) Thanks Obsidian, Tim and Leonard for making this happen, and also thanks for the video, looking forward to the next one
6:33 "It's regarded by many as the strongest first-person Fallout"
91/100 > 86/100
Considering what they had to work with, this game is a stunning building block to launch Obsidian into the future.
Great documentary, yalls are always the best! Excellent quality and you guus go very in depth with your interview which REALLY helps tell the whole story.
I loved the outer worlds, great game by Obsidian, good to see they got acquired by Xbox that way they dont have to worry about financial problems. Cannot wait for the outer worlds DLC and their new games
As a student in the computer science field with a huge interest toward video game creation, this channel is showing me stuff I don't think I could ever access alone.
Watching this makes me wish we could see a documentary on Obsidian's other works, specifically KotOR II. I've always wondered what this studio was like on the inside.
Love the passion these guys have for their job.
Watching this right before I get back to work on my own game. Thanks for making these documentaries, they’re so interesting and eye opening.
Tim and Leonard really had The chemistry together. Now I wonder if Eric will also be in future episode.
Yesssss! I just finishes this game, and it is SO well done! My only complaints are very few, and pretty minor. (Sublight final quest options, Felix quest, and not knowing whether to go in guns blazing, or sneaky in Tartarus) SO glad that these two got back together to make a game! It really shows in the gameplay. I absolutely loved the humor and gameplay in Fallout 1, and this game is a fantastic continuation of that. :) Thanks for making the documentary about it!
Had a great time, would have regretted buying it though. Very happy for Game Pass. Loved it... now where's the other 2 acts to this story?
Great video. Doing solid work... you... guy, people, group, oxford comma users, whomever. Top notch. Jolly good. Pip pip and all that.
This was a fantastic documentary. Thanks for making it. PS: I'm on playthrough number 1 and just about to hit 100 hours and haven't beaten the game yet. I'm taking my time doing all the sidequests, getting really into the lore, and I haven't even touched the DLC yet besides downloading it. This game is critically underrated from people comparing it to related games. Taking it on it's own merits (and drawbacks) it's amidst my top open world games along with Skyrim and Breath of the Wild.
Awesome work! Looking forward to the next parts :)
I’ve been waiting for this all week! Finally!
Keep it up Danny! Everything you guys do is coloured GOLD! Well done as always...good stuff in isolation!
Just like Todd Howard and Bethesda, its great to see the absolute passion these guys bring to the industry. I look forward to the continuing future of both Bethesda and Obsidian. They are creating my favorite experiences.
oh my god, yes! i've never wanted a documentary on a game more than i've wanted one on this!!!!
I actually appreciate these documentaries.
I can't wait for a last of us or cyberpunk one :)
@11:00 Diet toothpaste gets me every time. haha
I loved the Outer Worlds and I hope 2 is more of that but bigger and more variety with mobs and freedom.
The real content after long time. Kudos danny
I like how they admit that the ending was kinda rushed.
Love this game but would've loved it if it was longer and more drawn out main story.
Hello,
Thank you so much for this video ! It was very interesting.
FO: New Vegas is my favorite of the modern Fallout games, and I have absolutely loved this OuterWorlds as well.
Thank you so much for all of this high quality content! I can't wait for the next parts!
This game is amazing and critically underrated. Dark humor, great writing, it doesn't tell you the entire meta stories and lets you connect so many dots yourself while still being cohesive with it's main narratives.
The one thing that I somewhat startled by was how short it was. I felt like I didn’t get my fill. It was also a little off putting that the awesome character designer didn’t have any impact within the actual game. In other words, it was always 1st person. Other than those points, I thought that the game was well done.
Considering all the cuts they made along the way, surely they can add some of it back in, especially the last one or two, as extra content with a DLC.
I am looking forward to playing this game some day, when it's made available on Steam. I would also have liked (and do prefer) a GOG option as well.
The Outer Worlds is a very solid foundation for a new franchise. The main quest does come off as rushed in the end whether it was lack of time or budget, both, or something else. Still, I still get the urge to clean up sidequests after the credits have rolled and I might try different builds/runs. The Outer Worlds is a charming game that keeps me coming back for more. I know Obsidian is busy on Avowed now, but I will patiently wait for TOW2.
Thank you for this NoClip. I have so much love for this channel.
what better pedigree to have than a game that was released 16 years ago and is so loved it still gets fan made patches to this day .
Woohoooo!! Glad to hear Tim and Leonard will continue to work together!
Outer Worlds was great, but it did feel like there were a few too may cuts. I'm looking forward to seeing more from these guys in the future.
Thanks for this, Noclip.
Your channel is awesome!
Greetings from Paraguay.
I feel like this is the sort of game Cyberpunk should have been. It’s amazing what a smaller studio can achieve when thoughtfulness is poured into every aspect of the process. Cyberpunk posed in its marketing as this vast, multi-layered landscape that turned out to be a huge shallow let-down (amazing visual world building and graphics notwithstanding) whereas if they had narrowed the scope of it from the start like these guys did and added more depth to it it might have turned out to be a much more interesting game. It really shows how humility can pay big dividends if you pay attention to what you’re making. As usual all down to bad exec decision making rather than devs. For all the pre-launch PR hype about Cyberpunk being the big triple-A game, the OW is the one that ends up looking like a high quality, hand-crafted video game experience.
Brilliant video as always noclip 👍
Cyberpunk genuinely sucks from being underdeveloped and it's still better than Outer Worlds right now.
The environmental and story background settings actually kinda reminded me of Borderlands 2 when it was released, that game also has the different corporation stuff and feels very Wild West
I didn't finish playing the Outerworlds and I'm ashamed to say it. I just didn't like it honestly; but I love Obsidian. I can't wait for their next project.
Play Pillars 2 : Deadfire
Their next project will be announced in the next two months or so, its a fantasy game like the elder scrolls
@@AngelPerez-dw8ou isn't their next project that Minecraft like game?
I like channels where I can smash the like button before even watching the video.
