You can be the most snarky smart-arse that the galaxy has ever seen, or you can just straight up lie to people on a constant basis. Your character isn't voiced, but this gives way to some brilliantly written and often genuinely funny responses. Speaking of which, The Outer Worlds has some of our favourite ever dialogue options in a video game - and that's not something we say lightly. Sure, siding with those guys might have been easier, and it might have netted you shiny new amour, but you would have missed out on some hair-raising shootouts and a slew of deliciously dark dialogue options. There's no doubt that you can weave a tangled web throughout Halcyon, but again, it never feels like you're punished for doing things your way. Quests can change dramatically depending on your actions, and your alignment with each faction can fluctuate significantly if you adopt a more, ahem, extreme approach to problem solving. You could try lockpicking your way into their backroom and rummaging through their files - but what if your lockpicking skill isn't high enough? Maybe you'll have to settle for doing them a favour or, y'know, you could just brutally murder them and loot their corpse. Say you need information from someone, but even your silver tongue can't convince them to part with it. The beauty of The Outer Worlds is that you're never out of options. You can spend hours helping people out and making friends, or you can just step off your ship and start popping heads with your favourite revolver until you find some answers. There are factions to side with, characters to lean on, and societal scandals to uncover. What follows is a planet-hopping adventure that sees you bring peace or complete and utter chaos to the colony. Food shortages and plague outbreaks mean that some communities are barely hanging on, while governing bodies struggle to maintain law and order as situations grow more dire by the day.Ĭoaxed out of cryosleep by an unhinged scientist named Phineas Welles, he reckons Halcyon's doomed unless you can help him resurrect everyone else who's still sleeping on The Hope - some of the best and brightest minds that Earth ever sent off into space. Taking place across a space colony known as Halcyon, your custom character is awakened from stasis a whole 70 years after your ship - conveniently named The Hope - should have arrived at its destination.
