Having spent a lot of time on the very intense Cyberpunk/Phantom Liberty, I though I'd go for something fun and silly. I played the original Outer Worlds a few years back and really enjoyed it. This looks to be just as much fun.
One thing I have noticed is that the game tells when you've made a dialogue choice that will matter in some way down the road. I assume that some of these will actually matter in the overall story arc.
I haven't got very far in the game, but apparently it rewards you for picking a lane and staying in it, skill-wise. No jacks of all trades, in other words. I've chosen my usual hack/sneak/lockpick options and will add medicine, luck and engineering as the game goes on.
Anyway, so far, so fun.
