Don’t worry, you can go solo if you’re more the lone wolf type and there will be perks to help out with that, but companions do come in seriously handy. You can have two companions at any one time in The Outer Worlds and they’ll each have their own missions and needs. Yes, he’s called Clive.Įn route to the factory we’re introduced to the companions system. Giant colourful praying mantis insect monsters called Mantosaurs, anyone? So as not to spoil the story, Obsidian sends us on punny side quest ‘The Slaughterhouse Clive’ as a pub landlord called Catherine asks us to take down the self-named ‘King’ of Monarch who runs the Borst factory. Existing lifeforms were meant to be annihilated and replaced with earth species but the job went awry and Monarch’s existing flora and fauna just mutated and became stronger. We arrive on a colourful planet called Monarch which, according to Obsidian, was meant to be terraformed by a nefarious corporation known as The Board. The behind closed doors hands-off demo at E3 2019 is clearly crafted to show off just that.
That The Outer Worlds is also an in-depth RPG with rich skill trees, endless tantalising decisions, exciting monsters, and a slo-mo combat system just feels like an added bonus at this point.Īs you might expect from the developer behind Fallout: New Vegas, The Outer Worlds is all about how you want to play.
A creature bred in a factory specifically for the ripe, tasty bacon-flavoured tumours that regularly fall off to make endless 'Borst' snacks for the inhabitants of the planet of Monarch.
