Add your party members into the mix, bolstering any stat or ability shortcomings your character may have, and you've got all the makings of a nearly unstoppable force. You COULD just shoot an attacking Marauder in the head and be done with it, but it's much more satisfying to shoot him in the leg so he can't run, then antagonize a nearby creature into finishing him off. The combat is fluid and responsive, and the "Tactical Time Dilation" feature opens up some unique options. Gameplay in The Outer Worlds is a blend of first-person shooter and classic role-playing. This is your story, and the game encourages you to write it any way you see fit.

And if you don't like how things turned out one way, start a brand-new run or re-work your abilities, try a new path, and change your fate on the fly.
#THE OUTER WORLDS CHOICES SERIAL#
You want to join the corporate machine and keep the people under the sway of its propaganda? Sure, why not? Pacifist, serial killer, thief, con man … it's all up to you and the choices you make. You want to save the world and bring your people home? Go be the hero. There's not really a "wrong" way to play The Outer Worlds. There are a lot of games that offer player the freedom to "play the way you want," but very few deliver on that promise as well as this RPG (role-playing game). Just remember that on Halcyon, as advertised, satisfaction is always guaranteed. Will you save the Hope's colonists and lead a revolution against corporate rule? Will you join with The Board and devote yourself to its marketing and propaganda? Or maybe you'll just ignore it all, leaving a path of murder and mayhem in your wake. You've been given a second chance, but what you choose to do with it is up to you. Now, seventy years later, you've been revived and sent on a mission to Halcyon to recover the materials needed to rescue the rest of Hope's cargo. You were originally meant to be a cog in this corporate machine until a malfunction aboard the transport ship Hope left you and hundreds of other colonists stuck in stasis, then shipped off and stranded in the far reaches of space, covered up rather than bring the board of directors any undue embarrassment.

Don't believe it? Just check out all the great product placement and marketing materials that clearly state otherwise. Welcome to Halcyon, the greatest corporate sponsored colony in the universe. THE OUTER WORLDS introduces players to a time in the far distant future and a place on the edge of the galaxy.
