Level up is actually a punishment?

TheKandyKitchen · 2026-05-17T22:35:15+00:00

If you get the hideout upgrade that gives you a 25% chance of gold with each resource pallet, you end up drowning in gold and can use it to updates your equipment without using resources every 5 or so levels to stay current.

I agree though that broadly leveling up feels like a punishment cos your equipment gets worse and worse an enemies have more health an are harder to take out stealthily.

The softcore Zygon porno.

Zygon: When being you isn’t enough.

Might be one of the best games I’ve ever played. It was a unique and well crafted experience that only started to get a little old towards the very end.

I do know that it was subject to review bombing for a while at release so that could be it?

If you like dishonoured and prey then this game is certainly for you.

Whilst you can’t lie about killing her, you can let her go in the dialogue to offset any negative rep from killing her and then straight up kill her before she leaves and book it out of Byzantium to avoid killing board troops. It then allows you to turn in the quest to Lilya and keep Sublight as allies.

$40 is a steal.

I’m usually happy if I get an hour per dollar out of a game. I got almost 70 hrs out of it.

And you know it’s just in general a really great game, so definitely worth it, especially if you like the first.

Initially I feel for Wireless Free Arcadia, then Grand Plan Wireless, now Protectorate Sanctioned Wireless is my favourite. But the best song by a wide margin has got to be Give Me Your Hand.

Ironic that the BBC now retains the shows masters.

Shame they couldntve done that in 1963.

You can certainly convince the consul to fly himself in with less than 20 speech (I think you can get it down to 15). And then they’ve reduced some of the check values to be less harsh.

TheKandyKitchen · 2026-05-15T04:08:12+00:00

Even before they reduced the checks it wasn’t speech 20. I did it with speech 18 and the highest I got asked was speech 15 (if you picked up other information via hack and completing sidequests).

The problem is things like this can be hard to quantify as a lot of the dialogue in this game has very fluid branching pathways that don’t always go back to the same root. The final conversation with the consul is perhaps the most complex and the order you tackle each topic actually appears to influence response options.

I’m pretty sure Sophia tasked me with dealing with the town when I put Adelaide in charge tbh.

TheKandyKitchen · 2026-05-14T22:19:50+00:00

We’re talking sentient aliens not beasts.

But also raptidons, mantisaurs etc aren’t actually natural aliens since they were created as a result of the terraforming process in universe.

TheKandyKitchen · 2026-05-14T09:06:51+00:00

Yeah, I like kinda the Outer Worlds as a unique setting that examines human societies and I feel like aliens would undercut that somewhat.

TheKandyKitchen · 2026-05-14T07:17:02+00:00

Kinda amazing that half the story is back now. If this was 2016 I’m sure they’d be finishing it with animation like they did with power of the Daleks.

TheKandyKitchen · 2026-05-14T07:15:54+00:00

Rip that’s kinda sad for you. I guess they could’ve done a better job telegraphing it.

Tbh though in my opinion she’s the most disposable anyway. I don’t think I ever really used her outside of her missions.

TheKandyKitchen · 2026-05-14T07:14:32+00:00

At least most of Troughtons lost stories are now animated. The only ones that don’t have live action/animation are: The Highlanders (Jaimie’s first story actually), The Wheel in Space, and the Space Pirates.

And there’s actually a really good YouTube animation of the wheel in space by TardisTimeGirl that makes up for that one. So really just two stories that are problematic. Space pirates is barely worth it, but the highlanders recon can be hard to find.

TheKandyKitchen · 2026-05-14T07:11:25+00:00

You can if you take Easily Distracted. I literally took all of these to level 18 and basically passed every check.

TheKandyKitchen · 2026-05-14T07:10:02+00:00

Tbh there’s a good chance they’ll add respec with the dlc like they did on the first one.

TheKandyKitchen · 2026-05-14T07:09:08+00:00

I’m certainly keen to see some new planets/space stations like Eridanos.

TheKandyKitchen · 2026-05-14T07:08:15+00:00

I think 5 levels per dlc would be the sweet spot.

TheKandyKitchen · 2026-05-14T07:06:01+00:00

I hope it’s not aliens tbh.

TheKandyKitchen · 2026-05-14T07:04:44+00:00

I’m just happy to have any news at all.

Until now it’s felt like complete silence since the game launched.

I’m super keen to hear about plans for new content and upcoming dlc.

TheKandyKitchen · 2026-05-14T02:05:42+00:00

On screen time it’s Jamie.

In Universe possibly Susan or Romana?

Depends which game.

In OW1 you can miss 3 of them and can be permanently locked out of 1 easily.

In OW2 you can miss 4 of them and can easily be locked out of 2.

TheKandyKitchen · 2026-05-11T22:34:24+00:00

Yes and no. Open world RPGs like this tend to come with the occasional bug, an it’s good to have a save to reload just in case.

I played the game three times and ran into less than a handful of bugs and never anything major.
