Ooh, @joefielder.bsky.social would be the best person to ask about this!

Wow! What a stunning shot of Niles! ❤️

I’ve been loving THE OUTER WORLDS 2! The moment to moment gameplay is much improved over the first (which I already enjoyed), the flaw system is super interesting and cool, and the companions’ stories are varied and nuanced.

A game like The Outer Worlds 2 rewards curiosity, empathy, patience, and the ability to put information together from gathered scraps and figure out what's crucial and how you should act on it. It treats you like you're smart. I ADORE it.

A terminal entry in The Outer Worlds 2 that a few people mentioned they like.

Possibly due to my ADHD, I rarely read any onscreen game text longer than an FTL update, but I read every terminal and journal in the original Outer Worlds because they were so well-written, funny, and concise. So I tried my best to hit that bar for them in The Outer Worlds 2.

The Flaws system in Outer Worlds 2 is really cool. Game is like “oh you like minmaxing? What about…the DEVIL’S minmaxing??”

If you're playing Outer Worlds 2 and are mean to Niles, you should have your video game priveleges permanently revoked. This man must be cherished and nurtured at all costs

Thank you so much, Raven! 💕

Everyone NEEDS TO PLAY THIS. We need more TOWs games 😩 especially since this one was straight up phenomenal

A screenshot from The Outer Worlds 2. A cowboy-style NPC is saying, "That was some slick talking! Can't believe you got them to surrender without firing a shot! I thought for sure we'd have to blast our way out of here."

It was incredibly difficult not to talk about The Outer Worlds 2's utterly funny dialogues and gorgeous landscapes while reviewing it. Seeing everyone enjoy it now as much as I did is amazing.

Dialogue from Outer worlds about it's religion known as the plan when I expressed that religion has often historically been used to attack people. Niles: "Done some good, too. Even I can admit that not everyone following the Plan is a fanatic. But when those beliefs start to require hurting others, even killing them - that's worth questioning their virtue."

Hey, so not only is #OuterWorlds2 really good, it has some actually quite nuanced opinions about faith and religion?

Big fan of Niles

Niles, my Commander, and VALERIE stand on an elevator in a green lit room.

This isn't exactly news, but the radio in The Outer Worlds 2 is an Achievement and you *need* to listen to it.

Nails the tone perfectly. I've laughed at the messaging but also been genuinely impressed at the quality!

I'm a bit of an Obsidian sicko, and annoyingly yack at length about KotOR II and New Vegas and just about every game they do, but this one? This might be my favorite game of the past 5 years (at least since Cyberpunk).

This has 'everything' I cherish and value in a role-playing game. GREAT WORK!

Ahh, I can't think of a greater compliment than this!! Thank you so much, Jesse! ❤️

We are celebrating Day of Dead in México and Obsidian was present lol

This is so charming, haha! 🌝 Thank you for sharing!

I've only started it, but my God, the Outer Worlds 2 is so unbeilevably good. It feels like the culmination of RPG design up to this point. It's the best in every class. The writing, the levels, the combat, the MUSIC!!! Its all top notch.

Tysm to everyone @obsidianent.bsky.social who worked on it!

Hey, look, it's the little Pentiment easter egg I put in! 😅 Was hoping someone would catch this!

Thank you so much, Jay! 💕

Wow! Thank you, Martin! Having grown up loving narrative-heavy RPGs myself, it's been SO rewarding creating a game like this for others who also enjoy them! It's also funny you mention the Coen brothers, as their work was definitely a stylistic touchstone for our dialogue!

Oh, absolutely! You can never be sure how something will land, you know? But so far the response has been splendid! Happy to hear you're enjoying it as well! 😃

Thank you! ❤️ Gambler/Lucky is a great combo!

Thank you so much! Yeah, the flaws system rocks! Glad you're vibing with it!

Thank you! I'm also a huge fan of our in-game radio. 📻💕 @joefielder.bsky.social and @seejackboyer.bsky.social played a huge role in making it as amazing as it is!

Ooh, that sounds like it'll be a fun build!

Yes! That whole sequence always makes me laugh. 😂 Glad you're having a great time!

I hope you have a great time with it! 😀

That's so nice to hear! Glad you're enjoying the crunch! 😃
