Comment on Avowed Developers Confirm Game Has Multiple Endings: 'It's an Obsidian Game'

  I feel like Outer Worlds was their take on Fallout, and this is their take on The Elder Scrolls. From the video they put out the other day, I’m down to clown.

  I don’t know. I felt like when I was helping factions it only felt noticeable when they showed up to help at the end.

  I haven’t replayed it because it felt like there wouldn’t be a lot of deviation between paths I choose to take.

  It’s kind of like Dishonored’s chaos level system that can result in additional enemies and a different ending. It makes it feel like more of an adventure game than an RPG.

  This is all obviously subjective but when people were hyping it up to have Fallout New Vegas levels of choice I felt let down.

    Same here. In fact the hype is the reason why it didn’t do well imo. It’s a fine game, nothing too wrong or bad about it, but they hype definitely killed. IGN kept advertising it as “Fallout in space” and “the Bethesda Killer,” and look where we ended up.

      I really dislike the X is the Y killer angle. It’s such clickbait and immediately puts fans on the Y side on the defensive. It’s helping no one.

      Unless it’s an indie dev I don’t even care what else they have produced previously. With such large teams there’s too many cooks in the kitchen and it only takes one of them to sour the entire game.
