“It’s not the best choice, it’s spacer’s choice”

A game that came out with no microtransactions, and it's also a finished game, like how games used to and should be

The first time I played the Emerald Vale section I went exploring in the Geothermal Plant and ended up in the basement. I found the terminal that controls the power flow and was like "wonder what happens if I change it to the biolab" and the whole town of Edgewater lost power and everyone hated me when I first arrived. The dialogue was even different to if I went there first to speak with Reed. That's true player choice. I didn't even intentionally complete the quest, I just stumbled across what I needed and then faced the consequences.

Hiding helmets and seeing proper stats for gear on my character.......THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.

*points gun at person* I want to just talk

I’m so shocked how good, and polished the game is. I think I’m so used to games being so buggy and unfinished on launch at this point.

0th: Some people don't realize that they could be playing this instead of Fallout 76 by simply going into F76's menu and exiting out of it.

One thing I’ve noticed that really annoys me is how slow the cursor moves on the map.

This is one of the most useful "10 things the game doesn't tell you" guides. I didn't know any of these. Thanks for this!

I play as a time traveler. Quick-save, slaughter everyone in a town to see what happens, Quick-Load, and pretend there are alternate dimensions or Universes.

I am loving this game. Best part: I paid full price and got an actually completed game. No DLC/No microtransactions. Beautiful.

“Helmet off” is a gift from the gods. I mean no one would be able to take something like Dragon Age Inquisition seriously without it

This makes me hope that Obsidian helps with the development of Fable 4. Since Microsoft owns them and all.

Something really cool I learned today is if you get the robophobia flaw and have SAM as a companion, you actually get a debuff called “phobia”that knocks down a lot of your stats. Also when you speak the robots you have the dialogue option of “AHHHHHH!!!!!”.

If you want to stop bringing your gun up when you interact, have a melee weapon holstered. No reload, so it stays down when pushing X/Square

if you hold the back button on the controller for more than a second you will always go to the map screen and for the start button you will always go to the quest screen

I had high expectations for this game and so far its exceeded every one, I played through New vegas 3 times and it was like a completely different game each time, def see myself doing the same with outer worlds

"Just like all my Xcom soldiers lol" Me: **Has a War Flashback**

another thing you didnt mention is if you want to free roam you can. You can also find quest items prior to ever starting the quest. You will hang onto them and once you start the dialogue for the quest, you will have the option to say "I already found that" or something along those lines.

I’m just sad I can’t go into 3rd person mode like in NV

There is so many call backs to everything new vegas. Loved seeing Cass' caravan made it off earth!

so basically obsidian does fallout better than bethesda

The game doesn't immediately tell you how amazing it is.

The first 30-40 minutes of playing the game I wasn't sure if I was gonna like, but after playing for awhile I actually really really enjoy it. There are a few things I would tweak with the game but overall I have had so much fun and I've gotten so invested in my companions. They did a good job on this title, especially when the companions are so alert to all of the different places you take them. Awesome job on their part!

my man pulled all this info from a single reddit post

I really did appreciate how the developers let you "Junk" anything in your inventory. Saves ALOT of time when selling things

Kind of sounds like Obsidian has been hard at work fine tuning their game instead of finding ways to shoehorn in microtransactions

Tip - if you want all the loot, search every nook and cranny. There are a surprising amount of lootable containers, corpses, and random items laying around. Another tip - watch your enemy indicators. It's honestly a good heads up before you get ambushed. Third - use your melee weapon. At times the gun fire up close is too slow. Early on you can find some decent 1-handed melee weapons.

To hide the weapons on pc, simply hold down the "R" key.

*Accepted "Drug Addiction" as a Flaw* around 4 hours in, only noticed *after saving.* Restarted with a 1-handed Melee Tank build, *laying off the Adrena-Time syringes!*

When it comes to hard to reach stuff (although I do agree the dodge forward is a must) the classic Doom/Quake run, jump and crouch also serves as a solid secondary if you dont have the skill yet.

These tips felt super informative. The one related to game performance was especially unique, I find. Awesome stuff, Gameranx!

Haven't been this addicted to non-fighting game since Dragon Age: Origins. Best surprise game of the year!

I love the game!! Favorite 2019 so far

This is the best vid on OW I've seen so far, from any channel. Well done, and thanks for the great info!

Tip: Do every quest available!

I love it! It's such a good game! I'm so excited for them to have a massive budget now!

I didn’t need the forward dodge to get that crate. I just sprinted and jumped

I just finished my first playthrough yesterday and I have to say I love it and hope there's an eventual sequel. I never played Mass Effect so I can't compare it to that, but for me it feels like a combination of Fallout, Borderlands, and Knights of the Old Republic.

The very first thing, about showing stats for weapons and armor specific to your player, was by far the most valuable thing on the list for me. Thanks!

Also you can unlock slots for your inhaler via the medical skill and the items you put in the slots automatically get used when you use the inhaler

Xcom command: "Commander why?"

Im loving it some of the companion quests are just amazing

I think a couple people already touched on this, but the classic tip is a good one to add here: play through a mission, save a new save file, and you can go back at any time to try a different course. I do this before making any major decisions. You could play through the entire game and then play again by choosing a different option for a “what-if” scenario from any point in the game. I see a lot of re-play potential in this game.

The Outer MassFallBorderShock

For number 8, if you have a melee weapon equipped, after sheathing it. Using the interact button (either X or square) the melee weapon will not be unsheathed

I love watching one of your videos on a game years after it's release, because it went on sale, and I had to consult with the boys lol

Thanks for the toggle headgear tip! I put a helmet on Parvati thinking I’d unequip it after a fight, only to find it stuck!! I actually reloaded (thankfully I had saved recently!) just because I didn’t want to miss the facial animations, especially since they’re really good in this game. I was bummed I wouldn’t be able to provide any of my companions with that additional armor, but now I can! So thanks!

I’d love to see how Obsidian would do a Skyrim like game

For console players if you don't want to pull out your weapon every time you interact with somebody or something, switch to a melee weapon before you put your weapon away and you won't pull out your weapon anymore.

first real usefull vid i've seen on the game, tnx!

For your number 3 spot, that treasure you showed to be inaccessible is actually accessible just by jumping up the little metal parts infront of the entryway, you don't really need any specific skills upgraded/activated to get to it :)

From my experience using a controller if you have a melee weapon as your active weapon then you won’t pull it out trying to talk to NPC’s

Its such an amazing game. Outer Worlds is fun af and the dialogue is a 10/10

Thanks for these, they really help.

#1 was very helpful, I was wondering why when I got that T3 perk that gave armor effects double the effect it didn't show on the armor but did on the character sheet. Definitely helped me out this time. Something so simple, yet makes a world of difference for how character progression feels. just a few points in handguns and you'll see it on your pistol now x.x bless your sweet souls, not used to ya'll hitting me with something I didn't actually know!

Spent most of last night and today playing. I am hooked. If nothing else, I knew it would be a better experience than Fallout 76. I am not dissapointed. In fact, I am blown away. The story is great! The setting and lore are amazing. And plenty of New Vegas call backs. This game deserves a running for Game of the Year. This is art. This is a game. Bethesda... Are you taking notes? If so, good. *rolls up newspaper* Please don't make me stick your nose in your own pile of **** to teach you a lesson.

Maybe its because I've been playing PC games since the 80's but I know to go and check the options menu first, before starting a game. So most of this stuff isnt a huge suprise to me.

Great video, might try some of these tip in the near future

Very good tips! Thanks for the video.

Find Ole’ Reliable in emerald vale in the primal nest

20 hours in and have encountered no bugs

Great video. Something I find surprising, or not, is many of the things mentioned are already in Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning. I hope like hel KoA gets ported to the Switch.

thank you! specifically for the forward jump one, I was wondering if this would ever come in progression as I am only a week in, but loving this game!

i really enjoyed this game, my only gripe is that it's too short even with doing the side quests

I unlocked a door ended up purging half of the groundbreaker

This was crazy useful, thanks!

I found this game brand new for $5 in Puerto Rico a couple weeks ago on vacation, I had been putting off buying it. As soon as I saw it I snatched it, and as soon as I got back home I put it in my PS4 and been playing the hell out of it. Love it!

Definitely going to have to pick this up.

Well this is a surprise wasn't told there would be a second video on the game.

I just got done playing this in legendary, I had a blast. Shooting npc’s and enemies in the game gives so much joy an satisfaction. None of the weapons have bugs and are very well balanced. I’m waiting for outer worlds 2 to come out.

Thanks for the video!

For number 8 you can just equip a melee weapon and holster it, then you won't have deal with drawing your each time you interact with something

i just finished it. genuinely enjoyed it from start to finish

Between this, and Shadowkeep, I'm happy entertained and super content! :)

holy crap there were actually some REALLY GOOD TIPS in here! THANK YOU! I stopped my normal playthrough for a supernova playthrough and it is an absolute BLAST!

I almost didn't get this game. After playing it, I am glad I changed my mind.

oddly enough some of the pc bugs made me feel like I was playing New Vegas again. My favorite is an npc was standing while clipping through the floor and bed of their house. Still less bugs than any Bethesda game though.

Nice to see all the footage is from the starting area. How long have you played?

Thanks for the item stat and helmet tips!

Sneak when stealing, when no one is around. Close doors too. It doesn't remember the item is stolen like FO4 or Skyrim.

Love this game so much. Hopefully Obsidian can keep up the good work unlike every (almost) other developer nowadays

Was really hoping you would tell us about damage types. Which ones are good/bad for which enemies.

Base item stats option was an excellent tip. Thank you.

I’m a dirt farmer.

Lord Shaxx: Helmet ON

7:44 anyone else see this and immediately think of that one room in Dark Souls 3 The Ringed City dlc where ur right before the Spears of the Church boss fight, theres that open room with soldier statues and that one small room where u hear the turtle monk and go through a bunch of illusory walls to get the lightning bow miracle? idk why but the exact layout really made me think of this.

Honestly an amazing game, the dialogue was amazing and I loved the art-style so much

6:04 STILL no option for 'oops, my mistake. Sorry (Returns Item)'

I'm level 20 and not even at 50%. I say the combat is like fallout 4, the graphics, atmosphere and the aesthetics of every world is incredibly breathtaking. The story of each character is really complex and detailed, its like the NPC's story is one of the factors of this. My advice is to level up your dialog and stealth earlier in the game. Dialog is to pick special convo and farm expi, stealth is if you want low profile and will be easier to hack/lockpick as you progress. Loot everything, steal everything.

That part where you "need" the dodge forward to reach the crate, I just jumped from the closest point on the ground to the ledge.

The tip were you can take off companion hats was super useful because the entire time I played I had to keep giving hats, or eyepatches

7:18 Another way to play dumb is to put fallout 76 on and trust Bethesda. Crazy

You actually don’t have to dodge forward to reach that one.

5:37 Bad example, I running-jumped in there. I just started a little lower before jumping haha.

Little addendum to nr. 3 That particular box is reachable without the forward dodge. Just simply dodge backwards and done (turn your back at the box obviously 😁) . I don't had time to test it at other locations though.

You dont need to pay 10grand for a navkey. Just get hopped up on movement speed boosters and leg it through the enemies on monarch

That moment when your crawling back to a workbench over encumbered and then you realise you’re not playing Fallout 76

awsome video, good tips 8)

If you hold down the triangle button on the PS4 controller instead of pressing it, it brings up the weapon select wheel and if you hold down the square button it puts away all weapons, good if you find it odd to talk to characters with a weapon pointing at their face.
