Except for headgear, that seems to only apply +50% rounded down (If head gear applies +5, the skill bonus will only show up as +2, rounded down from +2.5
I need to change it up. I always go into these games saying tank build! Energy weapons build! Heavy weapons build! But end up as the stealthy sniper popping heads from across the map.
I’ve never played a RPG before, but I’m a good 12 hours into Outer Worlds and I want to ask, if I have been bumping up pretty much all my skill levels (tech, ranged, Melee, etc) all of em Is that ok? It isn’t making me under powered in any way?
One thing I've noticed about Perception is that it seems to give the highest amount of dialogue choices of any attribute. Next playthrough I'm bumping that up a ton.
While this is true, I notice most attribute-based dialogue checks don't seem to offer you anything tangible, as opposed to actual skill-checks which very much do. So if you're bumping an attribute just for dialogue checks, I recommend only doing it to hear character responses. Then again the characters in this game are lovely so that's a fine reason in itself.
I used dodge constantly in melee, the 1 handed weapons had 3 swing patterns, so I would dodge in, hit with those three swings, and dodge out and back in between cycles. I found dodging good for kiting any kind of melee enemy, and also for zig zagging towards ranged foes to minimise damage taken.
Looks like -1 STR, -1 DEX, -1 Temp, +3 to Int, perception and charm seems like a great way to go for a guns + dialogue build without losing really much at all except for that reload speed
eh, there's plenty of ways to heal in this game, consumables, the inhaler, perks that will heal every kill, etc. plus it can actually be more useful if you want to use that +30% dmg ability, and benefiting elsewhere. but yeah, i agree, -1 str, dex, temp doesn't seem all that bad for gun user, really. carry weight's not that big a deal if using companions + a perk for carry weight, melee dmg isn't an issue, reload speed's not that big a deal, and the regen's not really gonna keep you alive in a firefight, anyway. tbh also see charm as being iffy, whereas int and perception's critical and weakspot focus works for any combat situation.
You think only combat focused though... Just finished a non-companion supernova run and i gotta say: - You are right with Long Guns + Science being a strong combo combat-wise. - All 3 dialogue skills are good to prevent combat on several occasions. - Medicine for inhaler slots to buff yourself while healing is useful. You can even add in food or drinks if you want. - Engineering for weapon/armor mod salvage and free repairs saved me my sanity (since i did not have to fast-travel to my ship after every 2-3 encounters) and a boatload of bits on mods. - Lockpick > Hack for the most part, but some quests require up to Hack 55 for alternative solutions.
I've been searching for a true guide for The Outer Worlds that went into detail about the features of the game and not just general tips. So THANK YOU for pumping out such a great series of videos so early in the release of the game. This is the time that it is needed most & you deserve a lot of recognition for being one of the best resources so far. I subbed the channel just for this reason and I look forward to more from Fextralife.
High Dodge gives you handy double-jump if you are exploring type. At low skill levels it's almost unnoticeable, but distance gets further with each point spent.
I love how my brain translated the leadership part. "Yeah they might die less. But ya know how else you can do that? In the words of an asshole, 'git Gud scrub.'" But it is facts though. Bug love for these videos. Your divinity breakdown videos really helped me with a sort of Behemoth build using your juggernaut video
some people call me a nerd for watching these videos for games I'm about to start. I don't care, I like to know about a game that is really good and I plan to put a lot of time into. I'm kind of serious about games and will usually get annoyed if I screw something up so I watch guid videos to know what I'm getting into. Video games are fun and a good escape and people who give you a hard time for them are asses and should just be ignored. So thank you for making a good starter vid that explains everything really well.
I was looking for a short video because I'm impatient but this video was incredibly helpful. The Nintendo Switch patch finally came out for The Outer Worlds today months after the official launch. I bought the game day 1 played 15 hours and deleted waiting for the patch that launched today October 21, 2020. So hyped to get back into this game.
exzisd how does it play? I just bought it for 30 bucks at game stop and gonna start after i finish darksiders2. Hope it plays smooth. Almost done with ds2 so kinda pumped.
I’m not sure if this guy has played the game, but the dialog skills are some of the most important in the game. Better dialog skills help you talk your way out of situations in restricted areas, will provide a discount at vendor shops based off of your highest dialog skill, and can unlock alternate story routes apart from the main one. The game literally says “Dialog skills improve your ability to talk with NPC’s, both in and OUT of combat”. Please work on your dialog skills. Thank you.🙏🏾
Thats going to be my second playthrough style. Im trying something new and starting off as a violent mercenary type for my first playthrough instead of waiting for my 3rd to do it. Yeah I already see that dialog skills are useful as fuck
I went for Intelligence 3 and Charm 3, was unsure about my choice and found this video. Turns out I probably went with the best possible combination for my gunslinger! :D Nice video!
I just did that too. You start the game hitting all the dialog skill perks when you first level, then unlock restricted vendor, and second level tinker. Leadership is reached third level up. No defense skills though or engineering. but early game swapping of newbie weapons is easy so who needs field repair in Emerald Vale?
Thanks for the overview man! Sounds like a long rifle sneak headshot time dilation build is absolutely OP and fun and if not that then a 2h melee build!
One thing on Dodge, the 20 point unlock dodge forward can be used to make a otherwise impossible long jumps. That can help you get to some hard to reach items. And it doesn't require going very far in to get.
Great job! Trying a pure dialogue and avoid combat character. So went high on Intelligence and Charm. Doing good, but I think one point in perception would have helped
I'd advise anyone starting this game to watch this video... I love this game. Everyone saying it's only 25 hours long but I'm ten hours in and I've just met gladys and the owner of one of the planets called Jeanie who my sidekick fancies. I hope it's longer than 25 hours and I hope there's DLC
Yes i don't know what was he talkin about with start a new game to respec. Okay you can't respec the attributes but they aren't so important at all. Yoi can do everthing with the skills and you can resoec as often you want. Only thing is; it costs more every time. But that's no problem, i do it like this: just safe before you respec, try it out and it's not the best - reload and respec with only 500 again etc etc ✌️
Haha. I had already done a build with a character planner, and it had the same stats as this video does at the start. Three INT, three PER. I had also already planned on maxing Science, and getting at least 60 in Engineering. As far as the perks go, I had already come to the same conclusions as this video while looking through them.
I think you're underrating the dodge. It doesn't interrupt your attack so it's not like you have to decide between swinging or dodging, you can get those dodge buffs while still mashing away at your left click
10% melee attack speed turns into 10% better melee DPS so dexterity is rather useful for melee characters also dexterity controls some pretty nice stats
I started out with that rp in mind, then I murdered the deserters, turned off the power to edgewater and went off in search of someone to rat Phineas Welles out to.
I know this video is old and things may have been patched or updated, but personally the Companion upgrades were extremely powerful for me, on hard difficulty my companions were destroying everything in sight with ease after I maxed those out. All I had to do was puff on the inhaler every once and awhile lol
going melee tank who can talk her way out of anything. gonna stack all the defence, healing (be it regen or health on kill) and chatting options. for the tech i'll have other people for that.
In Supernova, flaws are automatically taken, so you should try to get the five best flaws so you can't get any intensely crippling ones. Normal you get 3 flaws, hard gets 4, and supernova has 5.
Peter Quill (Starlord) leadership build is definitely going to be my first build. Then Riddick stealth build next. Then finally John Jacoby from killjoys tech build or Gary from final space dumb build 😁
The Boom Headshot perk is good if you you're a sniper and you plan your shots when two or more enemies are close together. Beware that you are looking without depth perception so even if they look close together, they may not be close in the Z axis. It is a good perk though for shot planners. Also, if you are like me and shooting from a far off perch of some sort, while your companions go in for the cleanup, I usually like to take one shot on each target for those with power armor or such or on the hard level where you may need more than one shot one kill. Spreading out the shots reduces their HP and makes it easier for your companions. Btw, if playing PC version, a mouse with sniper button is a must. I have not gained much by reducing mouse sensitivity settings in game. I refuse to overly reduce my general mouse settings, since I need flexibility for CAD work.
Thanks for the guide! Seems like the game is counting on you playing either a sniper or a melee build. Is that just your personal playstyle coming through or is it hardbaked into the game?
From what I am seeing in other reviews, leadership and using your companions to do most of the heavy lifting is a viable build. Also a balanced approach seems to work and even a dialog heavy approach is viable. Most others are saying the combat at least on normal is not that difficult. So I would say experiment at the difficulty and then do the harder difficulties.
My head is spinning. I've watched so many guides on this game since I just bought it for $20. But every video has completely different guides. Guess I'll just play and figure it out but I'm one of those people that hates wasting my time, especially in video games.
Wait, _precious_ magpicks? I had them flying through door and windows, with a few sneaking in from below the fridge. Like seriously, I had over a hundred each before really even starting terra 1. Edit: Also, on the TTD shot drain: Your weapon's fire rate (I suspect) affects the drain greatly. Take two single shot weapons(tac "assault" rifle and t&l sniper for example) and you see how different the drain is. The same is with assault rifles. Also, sneak -arch- ...sniper OP, yet again.
I think people are undervaluing how much reload and attack speed make a game *feel* better. Like if I would rather not do quite as much damage if it means that I'm getting silky smooth reloads and swings.
Do other people really not use headshot/weak points as their major targets when using assault rifles? Like I'd take those perks even if using assault rifles.
I don't if I'm using a controller, lol - I'm horrible at aiming with one, so I'm TTD heavy and only really aiming for headshots/weak spots with snipers. If I'm using mouse, oh hell yeah I'll be doing that, with everything.
You're right. Seems like a lotta Ppl don't get it.. Edit: and I started on heavy difficulty, even if I'm not a shooter player at all. (only like fallout or borderlands - rpg shooter) And bout aim: if you play the game! - you get better aim automatically! It's normal that you're aim isn't the best, if you never play shooter and then start this one - But normally 99% get a better aim pretty fast! ✌️
@@dondemonico I'm playing it on pc so aim isn't a problem. the problem Ive noticed is the damage output is a tiny fraction of what a melee crit or not. it really feels like they're forcing you into the melee route, so i use the melee and dump skills into guns intelligence stuff.
@@dondemonico I usually default rpgs to either the most difficult or next to. Feels more rewarding that way. I'm making progress, but I always keep a sturdy melee around just in case.
Hi, with cosmetic side of character creation I find it slightly just slightly disappointing, compared to other games, all the girl preset heads still look like the guys for this, I guess obsidian favoured the boys in this huh ? As for charm imo = charisma, ( just me tho ) it more fun to fail speech option or in this game to succeed at lying, also another thing for ppl to note instead of using adreno for health like stimpaking yourself , all that food or other healthy products, you can, load those into stimpak box in the menu, 1 last thing, I was aware , having just starting the game, that for example you could put points into sub skills, say under defence , like block and not just defence overall ? Thanks for the video guide, was quite interesting to watch and learn ,,
as always a fantastic video - to the point, great to listen to...i will go with a charisma, perception, intelligence build with focus on science, speach and companions
ATTENTION: Strength for some reason also determines your overall amount of time dilation, i picked below average strength because i figured i wouldn't need it, but boooy was i annoyed to find out it determines time dilation too
Dodge is crucial to most builds, especially on hard and supernova. Raptidon Colossi and Mantiqueens deal disgusting amount of damage with their skillshots, and once it lands, it's AOE. You have to time it perfectly, but you can't, because all of those little fuckers (mantipillars and green raptidons) keep shooting their barrages of skillshots, so your only chance of dodging is by leveling up your dodge, thus increasing the dodge distance.
excellent breakdown thanks,i was wondering if it was like new vegas or you had to put atributes based on the skills you want to use and you asolutely covered that
Dodging forward is likely a good way to close the distance between you and your enemy so it is useful at early levels not to mention it really depends on what kind of a player you are as I thought it was amazing while playing but this guy obviously does not share that opinion
He did like the high end dodge though, but pointed out, like most RPG, most perks fail against brutal DPS. Dodge is fun. An RPG jump? I always buy them sometime.
I'm 3 years late here. But isn't health regen exponentially stronger as armor and health increases? I'm not good at the math stuff but having watched some content creators for games making videos about similar stuff. Health isn't important in a vacuum, or armor, or regen. It's all about your combined EHP - effective health. So things like health regen could bump that up significantly when considering other synergetic factors.
Engineering is honestly the most underrated skill. Getting it to at least 80 makes money irrelevant which leads to maxing out your weapons/gear at all time
From the little bit of the game that I saw, it seems like males and females look the same in the game. Well like there are _some_ differences, but they can share not only some hair styles (which isn't that strange), but even faces. I thought that the first guard to the Deserters (I think that's who it was?) looked like Silas, just Silas had an older looking face.
No way to make any of the characters look normal, can't edit the chin shape etc so all the females look manly and ugly. One look at their "art" team and you can see why.
Alright i need some answers: trying to talk to Pavarti and realized i want higher perception. What do i do to make it work within conversation? Ive tried consumables and it doesnt seem to work
Why is all he talked about is combat? No stealth, no science, no engineering its literally 100% about combat you're missing a ton of other features and bonuses these attributes give. Btw +30% reload speed and +30% melee swing speed is pretty significant specially in a bruiser build
@Grym My point is that trying to min max it is not necessary and would just result in missing out on the arguably more polished aspect of the game. Combat focus is fine, I also like to do that, but I just don't feel forgoing stuff like science and speech is necessary to still be a badass.
I plan on trying to go a non-combat character (who relies on companions for combat) while being great at non-combat stuff, so probably going to nerf my strength and dex so I can boost charm, intelligence and perception.
*Fextralife* What having *Dodge* at 20 points to acquire _Leap,_ then you can get to hard (impossible) to reach places that _may_ have bonus or even important weapons/gear?
Here is the question in the determination rank 100 skill it says companions gain 50% health when they kill an enemy now does that mean they heal 50% of their health, they heal 50% of the enemies health, or do they gain a 50% increase to their max health all of which are good, but healing 50% of their health every time they kill something is broken with a capital B
I think you under rate companigns abit. They are very power. THey have abilities that quickly get to the point of one shotting enemies or completely CCing groups of enemies. It's one of the best for conversations characters as you don't need melee stats and the charm overlap in benefits for you. Medical is also quite strong as the drug buffs are quite powerful, and loading up 4 of them with max duration to where one puff gets you through the fight is good. Each drug is worth a perk point or two. Not to mention N-ray dots suck pretty bad along with other slows and the medical mid tier cuts thier durations in half. On that note hacking 40 gives you easy access to a large supply of drugs to buff yourself with. Inhale bread for +25% base health, +1 body from water, +1 mind from coffee, +1 personal from alcohol all lasting almost a minute which is how long most big brawls are. If you wanna live danerously there are even more powerful buffs you can grab. Medical lets you actualy use those 25second long buffs. Last dex is worse strength, but 10% more damage and 10% faster attacks is the same thing unless your doing a power hit dodge build or something. On the power hit dodge build. You can use the dodge ability along side power 2h weapon attacks to do big damage. Most else you are pretty spot on though.
Ryan Klee Yeah I noticed that. I haven’t purchased the game yet but I compared it to Kotor, and the third person view not only allows you to see your character, but it just looks better IMO. I understand from their point of view deciding to go first person. They probably thought it would be more immersive but it actually makes it less immersive for me. Not a deal breaker though.
Harrison John it is good go play it! you can still see your character when you edit your load outs and stuff. 3rd person may come later down the track? 🤷🏼♂️ seriously go play it it’s awesome
@@idontsmile2114 Just because someone has a complaint doesn't mean they hate the game lol. I wish there was a 3rd person option too. I also wish they had long hair options but this game is still a solid 8/10 for me. I'm loving it.
The level 60 perk in inspiration gives you 100% companion skill bonuses and it’s op as hell
Except for headgear, that seems to only apply +50% rounded down (If head gear applies +5, the skill bonus will only show up as +2, rounded down from +2.5
alright, so lone-wolf stealth arche... i mean sniper it is, as always! :P
I need to change it up. I always go into these games saying tank build! Energy weapons build! Heavy weapons build!
But end up as the stealthy sniper popping heads from across the map.
I’ve never played a RPG before, but I’m a good 12 hours into Outer Worlds and I want to ask, if I have been bumping up pretty much all my skill levels (tech, ranged, Melee, etc) all of em Is that ok? It isn’t making me under powered in any way?
@@cuppedcup5048 Unless you're playing on a high difficulty I wouldn't worry too much.
Drachnon ok thanks
You summed up pretty much all my playthroughs lol
I just wanna be a space cowboy
Spike Spiegel or Malcolm Reynolds?
Either or really, I’ve been playing and so far I’ve been doing what I wanted from the get go
@@MrDanTheManWhat Gene Starwind, personally.
I haven't found a cowboy hat unfortunately. I don't think there is one (at least up to the point I'm at)
@@dumbdickler670 thier is one in byzantium at clothing store
Game has laser scythes. Melee it is.
I mean there really is no cooler weapon in existence so i have to agree.
Yoda agrees 😉✌️
Yeah
One thing I've noticed about Perception is that it seems to give the highest amount of dialogue choices of any attribute. Next playthrough I'm bumping that up a ton.
While this is true, I notice most attribute-based dialogue checks don't seem to offer you anything tangible, as opposed to actual skill-checks which very much do. So if you're bumping an attribute just for dialogue checks, I recommend only doing it to hear character responses. Then again the characters in this game are lovely so that's a fine reason in itself.

Yo avid dodger - same - investing points in the skill line - dodge distance is generous
Looks like -1 STR, -1 DEX, -1 Temp, +3 to Int, perception and charm seems like a great way to go for a guns + dialogue build without losing really much at all except for that reload speed
Charming cowboy is a fun way to go.
-1 Temp loses the heath regen though, depending on difficulty that can come in handy from streams I've been watching.
low dex you lose also 30 weapon durability
You lose health regen but theres a perk I believe you can get at lvl 1 or 2 that let's you heal for 10 or 15% per kill so no worries
eh, there's plenty of ways to heal in this game, consumables, the inhaler, perks that will heal every kill, etc.
plus it can actually be more useful if you want to use that +30% dmg ability, and benefiting elsewhere.
but yeah, i agree, -1 str, dex, temp doesn't seem all that bad for gun user, really. carry weight's not that big a deal if using companions + a perk for carry weight, melee dmg isn't an issue, reload speed's not that big a deal, and the regen's not really gonna keep you alive in a firefight, anyway. tbh also see charm as being iffy, whereas int and perception's critical and weakspot focus works for any combat situation.

Just finished a non-companion supernova run and i gotta say:
- You are right with Long Guns + Science being a strong combo combat-wise.
- All 3 dialogue skills are good to prevent combat on several occasions.
- Medicine for inhaler slots to buff yourself while healing is useful. You can even add in food or drinks if you want.

This literally the only video you need on RUclips to create a great character!!! Everything Fex said was on point!!! Thanks bro!!!

Great minds think alike, it seems. My first build had three INT and two PER(mostly because three each felt a bit too munchkin-y).

Wait, _precious_ magpicks? I had them flying through door and windows, with a few sneaking in from below the fridge. Like seriously, I had over a hundred each before really even starting terra 1.
Edit: Also, on the TTD shot drain: Your weapon's fire rate (I suspect) affects the drain greatly. Take two single shot weapons(tac "assault" rifle and t&l sniper for example) and you see how different the drain is. The same is with assault rifles. Also, sneak -arch- ...sniper OP, yet again.
I think people are undervaluing how much reload and attack speed make a game *feel* better. Like if I would rather not do quite as much damage if it means that I'm getting silky smooth reloads and swings.
This.
You gonna make bullets rain? Because it's not ideal to waste all your gold on bullets because you want to be "smooth"
@@bigbadwolf3199 Something tells me I'll manage.
I made an MAXED Intelligence + Maxed Charisma build without even knowing game dynamics just because i liked this way and NEVER regret it :D
Intelligence and Charm! I love it.
Super Nova super flawed silver tongued gunslinger planned for my first build. Gotta finish Fo4 GOTY first
Thank you!
Awesome video. I enjoyed your Prosthetic tool guides with Sekiro. Very informative
Excellent guide, thanks a lot!
I am level 19, and I picked attributes because I saw the skill points that they effected and I'm missing so much more damage on a stealth sniper
Do other people really not use headshot/weak points as their major targets when using assault rifles? Like I'd take those perks even if using assault rifles.
I don't if I'm using a controller, lol - I'm horrible at aiming with one, so I'm TTD heavy and only really aiming for headshots/weak spots with snipers.
If I'm using mouse, oh hell yeah I'll be doing that, with everything.
You're right. Seems like a lotta Ppl don't get it..
Edit: and I started on heavy difficulty, even if I'm not a shooter player at all. (only like fallout or borderlands - rpg shooter)
And bout aim: if you play the game! - you get better aim automatically!
It's normal that you're aim isn't the best, if you never play shooter and then start this one - But normally 99% get a better aim pretty fast! ✌️
@@dondemonico I'm playing it on pc so aim isn't a problem. the problem Ive noticed is the damage output is a tiny fraction of what a melee crit or not. it really feels like they're forcing you into the melee route, so i use the melee and dump skills into guns intelligence stuff.
@@hunterromano5562 you're right. Same here on ps4.. But you can play what you want - it's ez
@@dondemonico I usually default rpgs to either the most difficult or next to. Feels more rewarding that way.
I'm making progress, but I always keep a sturdy melee around just in case.
In routhly 5 minits, this been enlighting, I should get better understand what to get now.
Thanks, handy guide!
Thank you very much!
Hi, with cosmetic side of character creation I find it slightly just slightly disappointing, compared to other games, all the girl preset heads still look like the guys for this, I guess obsidian favoured the boys in this huh ?
As for charm imo = charisma, ( just me tho ) it more fun to fail speech option or in this game to succeed at lying, also another thing for ppl to note instead of using adreno for health like stimpaking yourself , all that food or other healthy products, you can, load those into stimpak box in the menu, 1 last thing, I was aware , having just starting the game, that for example you could put points into sub skills, say under defence , like block and not just defence overall ?
Thanks for the video guide, was quite interesting to watch and learn ,,
Thanks bro. Now I don't have to go in blind and worry about having to restart after fucking up.
Sorry for stupid question i asked before i finshed your vid. Very helpful vid i still sad i cant respec attributes😭
Great tips!
Thank you , and good luck with the Wiki!
20 to 30% extra melee speed is effectively 20 to 30% more damage if you are not a sneaky type and more of a brute.. not sure why the hate is there.
as always a fantastic video - to the point, great to listen to...i will go with a charisma, perception, intelligence build with focus on science, speach and companions
Attributes - 0:11
Skills - 5:42
Thanks for the video!
ATTENTION: Strength for some reason also determines your overall amount of time dilation, i picked below average strength because i figured i wouldn't need it, but boooy was i annoyed to find out it determines time dilation too
thanks for the guide
Killer video. Just great! Thank you.
Dodge is crucial to most builds, especially on hard and supernova. Raptidon Colossi and Mantiqueens deal disgusting amount of damage with their skillshots, and once it lands, it's AOE. You have to time it perfectly, but you can't, because all of those little fuckers (mantipillars and green raptidons) keep shooting their barrages of skillshots, so your only chance of dodging is by leveling up your dodge, thus increasing the dodge distance.
So yeah I can see sniper builds being really powerful
manage to get 100% crit chance with a super huge crit modifier your going to be doing lots of damage per shot
Are ARs considered long rifle ? Like if I wanna make a space commando?
excellent breakdown thanks,i was wondering if it was like new vegas or you had to put atributes based on the skills you want to use and you asolutely covered that
man i'm gonna create erron black from MKX. a freakin gunslinger with a razor sharp tongue :3
A fun build is a "jedi" build. Focus on melee, dialogue and dodge.
Thank you for this! I’m more casual so this definitely helped me, can’t wait for the game!
Dude. Thank you!
Dodging forward is likely a good way to close the distance between you and your enemy so it is useful at early levels not to mention it really depends on what kind of a player you are as I thought it was amazing while playing but this guy obviously does not share that opinion
He did like the high end dodge though, but pointed out, like most RPG, most perks fail against brutal DPS. Dodge is fun. An RPG jump? I always buy them sometime.
Great vid, thanks :) Subbed.
I'm 3 years late here. But isn't health regen exponentially stronger as armor and health increases? I'm not good at the math stuff but having watched some content creators for games making videos about similar stuff. Health isn't important in a vacuum, or armor, or regen. It's all about your combined EHP - effective health. So things like health regen could bump that up significantly when considering other synergetic factors.
Max temperament and good medical skill
Slap some carbs into the inhaler and you can get pretty absurd health regeneration
Engineering is honestly the most underrated skill. Getting it to at least 80 makes money irrelevant which leads to maxing out your weapons/gear at all time
From the little bit of the game that I saw, it seems like males and females look the same in the game. Well like there are _some_ differences, but they can share not only some hair styles (which isn't that strange), but even faces. I thought that the first guard to the Deserters (I think that's who it was?) looked like Silas, just Silas had an older looking face.
No way to make any of the characters look normal, can't edit the chin shape etc so all the females look manly and ugly. One look at their "art" team and you can see why.
Good video
Alright i need some answers: trying to talk to Pavarti and realized i want higher perception. What do i do to make it work within conversation? Ive tried consumables and it doesnt seem to work
you can reset skill points and perks at least
Why is all he talked about is combat? No stealth, no science, no engineering its literally 100% about combat you're missing a ton of other features and bonuses these attributes give. Btw +30% reload speed and +30% melee swing speed is pretty significant specially in a bruiser build
Focusing on min maxing combat in a SINGLE PLAYER GAME with a HUGE focus on dialogue and role playing... 🙃
@Grym My point is that trying to min max it is not necessary and would just result in missing out on the arguably more polished aspect of the game. Combat focus is fine, I also like to do that, but I just don't feel forgoing stuff like science and speech is necessary to still be a badass.
Thanks.
What I'm worried mostly is can I max out all of the skills at the end?
I dont thinj so
You can use any attributes or skills really, it doesn't matter in the long run at all.
Source for the image in the thumbnail?
I plan on trying to go a non-combat character (who relies on companions for combat) while being great at non-combat stuff, so probably going to nerf my strength and dex so I can boost charm, intelligence and perception.
Le Voyeur
*Fextralife* What having *Dodge* at 20 points to acquire _Leap,_ then you can get to hard (impossible) to reach places that _may_ have bonus or even important weapons/gear?
When the game drops I think I might go with a charming melee crit build. Not my usual style of character, but it seems like a fun build.
"devs explain how their favoritism towards certain character builds result in min-maxing cheese"
Cant cheese a single player game with a difficulty called supernova trust me
If you spec into below average intelligence you can actually unlock "dumb dialogue options" because words are hard.
If your rifle has a Shock mod, will the Science skill help it make extra damage or is it exclusive for plasma guns and such?
Here is the question in the determination rank 100 skill it says companions gain 50% health when they kill an enemy now does that mean they heal 50% of their health, they heal 50% of the enemies health, or do they gain a 50% increase to their max health all of which are good, but healing 50% of their health every time they kill something is broken with a capital B
They just gain 50% health lol if it was max heath it would say "Gain 50% Max health"
Like half of their health is recovered on kill
I think you under rate companigns abit. They are very power. THey have abilities that quickly get to the point of one shotting enemies or completely CCing groups of enemies. It's one of the best for conversations characters as you don't need melee stats and the charm overlap in benefits for you.
Medical is also quite strong as the drug buffs are quite powerful, and loading up 4 of them with max duration to where one puff gets you through the fight is good. Each drug is worth a perk point or two. Not to mention N-ray dots suck pretty bad along with other slows and the medical mid tier cuts thier durations in half. On that note hacking 40 gives you easy access to a large supply of drugs to buff yourself with.
Inhale bread for +25% base health, +1 body from water, +1 mind from coffee, +1 personal from alcohol all lasting almost a minute which is how long most big brawls are. If you wanna live danerously there are even more powerful buffs you can grab. Medical lets you actualy use those 25second long buffs.
Last dex is worse strength, but 10% more damage and 10% faster attacks is the same thing unless your doing a power hit dodge build or something.
On the power hit dodge build. You can use the dodge ability along side power 2h weapon attacks to do big damage.
Most else you are pretty spot on though.
Appearance sadly doesn't mean shit in this game, no third person chats with NPC's or third person when walking.
Ryan Klee Yeah I noticed that. I haven’t purchased the game yet but I compared it to Kotor, and the third person view not only allows you to see your character, but it just looks better IMO. I understand from their point of view deciding to go first person. They probably thought it would be more immersive but it actually makes it less immersive for me. Not a deal breaker though.
Go cry. smh always something when a game comes out
Stealth Ops Lol. For sure. The game looks awesome I definitely want to get it. I was just agreeing with his point, but it’s not that big of a deal.
Harrison John it is good go play it! you can still see your character when you edit your load outs and stuff. 3rd person may come later down the track? 🤷🏼♂️ seriously go play it it’s awesome
@@idontsmile2114 Just because someone has a complaint doesn't mean they hate the game lol. I wish there was a 3rd person option too. I also wish they had long hair options but this game is still a solid 8/10 for me. I'm loving it.
