I think the Fallout games doing it still makes it “one of the only games”.
Damn I wish modern Fallout took more inspiration from the originals.
Comment on Here's what a random person on the internet thought of The Outer Worlds
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 11 months agoIt’s once again one of the only games where skills like speech or barter actually feel worth it

I also chat my way through the Outer Worlds. You could easily beat the game with just high speech checks. Although with the final boss, my speech check want high enough.

Honestly I found beating Rockwell with speech to be underwhelming.
No.
Ok.
It was a big step down from the Master in Fallout 1 which could be beaten with dialog, but only if the player had prepared with enough evidence to convince the Master of the argument the player was making.
I did find the battle against the RAM to be one of the best of the game, only because it was the only battle with a shield equipped enemy. That made me mildly have to think about what I was doing. Not the most inventive factor ever, but compared to the rest of the enemies it stood out.
