Parvati is my favorite companion, I see her as a (good) shot of Obsidian pulling off a Tali. Now I'm gonna try Supernova after finished my 1st playthrough on Hard. Trying to aim for 1 hit kill melee ninja build.

Like having your own Kaylee Frye "She is a treasure and she must be protected!"
I have never agreed with an Honest Game Trailers more.

Maybe I'm alone but I tried playing Outer Worlds the other day and played maybe 20 minutes and .... I don't feel drawn in. I kept getting distracted and nothing is hooking me If I get bored this weekend I'll try to continue. The 'cutesy 50's' or 'old-timey America - look we're so philosophical and making a Point' vibe is too much like Bioshock and Fallout for me Like, it's already been done? Feels cliche.

This post review vid is well worth its 60-minute length. This is a good game but not great. I'm hoping that Obsidian takes the feedback and improves. The market is wide open.

I finished it last night and I'd concur with the "good but not great" view. The overall story and setting were good, and I usually had about as much character freedom as I want, but it doesn't have the same memorable questlines and NPCs (Parvati might be an exception) typical of games that I really love and will return to over and over again. Most of the main quests are pretty straightforward without any memorable twists or surprises other than figuring out the compromise paths for the Edgewater/Deserters and Stellar Bay/Amber Heights disputes, and the companion quests felt somewhat slight compared to something like the New Vegas companion quests or the Mass Effect personal/loyalty missions. Felix walked out on me when I decided to persuade Rockwell to cooperate with me (I generally went with a "talk first, fight as a last resort" approach), but it didn't carry the same impact as when, for example, Shepard has a falling-out with a squadmate.
Also, as someone who preferred to use stealth and/or the disguise shroud, I was a little annoyed that my allies from previous quests kept turning up during the final quest to start firefights with the corporate guards, but were nowhere to be seen when I really could have used them, i.e. in that fight with the giant robot at the end. I get what they were going for here, and I'm assuming that they wouldn't have shown up if I hadn't helped them earlier, but I'd have preferred something more akin to the ME2 Collector Base where I can actually assign roles or even the option to have them lie low instead of attacking right off the bat.
I don't feel especially motivated to play it again, unless I was just going to try playing as a more militant anti-corporate type who sides with the Deserters and Amber Heights rather than negotiating compromises. Playing a pro-corporate character seems like it would border on evil-for-the-lulz, and that has zero appeal for me.

Also, did anyone else come back to the ship towards the end to discover a bunch of cows in that first-floor open space where Parvati hangs around? ADA complained about somebody "ordering fertilizer," but if this was a tie-in to a quest I completed, I must have completely missed the explanation.

There was an episode where they had a hold full of cows they had to deliver.

Well, if you run Windows 10 it is available on the integrated Microsoft Store. No additional client installation is necessary. Other than that, you'd probably have to wait for the Epic exclusive time to expire.

For $1 (for the first month), you can play the game with the XBox Game Pass for PC if you have a Microsoft account already (which you probably have if you installed Windows 10). It does require installing an application (the app is Microsoft own version of Steam/GOG). The app is also officially supported by GOG Galaxy 2 (that's how I learned such an application existed). For the record, I do not have the game pass for PC. I was looking at it the last few days after learning it had The Outer Worlds on it as I have 3 weeks of PTO coming and for $1/month it looked like a great deals to try a bunch of games I was interested in.

The game's getting Dlc next year forums.obsidian.net/topic/113270-a-special-thank-you-from-obsidian/"To all of those who voted for us in The Game Awards, you are all fantastic and we are so grateful for your support. The reception to The Outer Worlds has been unbelievable to see, and even just being nominated means a lot. However, the journey isn't over yet as we are excited to announce that we will be expanding the story through DLC next year! Details will be made available at a later date."

I replayed the epilogue and it's nice to see the companion death bug got fixed. I'm curious what direction they'll take the DLC. Will it be post-epilogue? Probably. There's still some planets we haven't visited yet, and I'm guessing the DLC will involve the missing ship. Will we be getting the band back together? Or will we be looking at a new crew, with maybe the odd cameo from the old one?

In the end, I couldn't wait to get the game. But I haven't bought it on Epic, I just subscribed to the game pass (will buy it once it's on Steam).
I'm also having a blast playing it.

On which platform is this game available? It's unavailable as yet on Steam and I refuse to sign up to any more proprietary platforms. Is it available on any non-proprietary platform? I bought it on the MS store. The only game I have gotten on that store and it will be the last. As far as the game goes, for me it was okay. Nothing special, but not bad either. Not anything close to Fallout: New Vegas in terms of quality, imo. The combat was okay and story decent, but the game tries too hard to be funny. Reminds me of MEA in that respect. Honestly, I wish I had waited until it released on Steam. Lesson learned.
