The Outer Worlds

On Supernova, I find myself quite often engaging to get a sneak attack snipe with a scoped hunting rifle, then backing off and plinking/running away if anything gets within shooting or punching range.

That Normal is too easy and Hard is waaaay too hard until you get enough perks / skill points is a common complaint.

Fun game, wayyyyyy too short though and hacking makes a lot of things far too easy lol
didn't expect to beat it on hard that quickly

gonna start on supernova and try a melee build

Spoiler: story choice stuff

So after you leave the first planet, you get to choose between two paths, find flight plans basically on a space station, or travel to the planet Monarch and fight your way overland through waves of super hard enemies. Anyone choose that way yet besides me? Ridiculous. My weapons were all plasma and level 12+ by the time I left Terra 2 so these mobs are challenging but not that hard. Tons of loot on them and in the surrounding area.

~14 hours to 100%... yikes
"30-40 hours of gameplay" must be struggling through supernova lol

Damn that's disappointing.

At least the variety in character builds will make multiple playthroughs viable

as with most obsidian games, this suffers from tiny font syndrome.

That can't possibly be right, 14 hours to 100%? Brave New World is only 1 of the main quests. Also, to fix the tiny font on pc: You can make The Outer Worlds' tiny text bigger with an INI tweak

brave new world is the last main story quest of the game

either way, i skipped all terminal dialogue so its "100%" with a grain of salt, maybe theres hidden shit but i made sure to stop and find any quests i could find and scowered the wiki for sidequests to see if i missed any but i had them all.

it's a fun game either way and im looking forward to trying supernova, shame i got teased by 4 inaccessible planets though

14 hours... what? i mean did you skip all the dialogue as well? it took me like 7 hours just to get off the first planet

So far for me, I am 10 hours into the game according to save. First 7 were on first planet, where I skipped some dialogue due to having seen it in streams (watched some Cohh and DansGaming before it released). I am playing on hard, so not much reloading, and used fast travel between quests, but ran around and explored everything once. Never had a respawn encounter.

The next 3 were on the big ship that the story takes you. There I listened to all dialogue and did everything I could. Just finished up that. However, I did idle a bit, so say 9 hours actively played.

There are 9 areas I haven't visited on my star map. Assuming then, that no more areas open up, they would have to be around 30 minutes each to get to 14 hours.

I think 30-40 hours sounds far more accurate for a regular run going by the pace so far.

no real spoiler but I’ll spoiler it

BTW, if you want a tip on what to do immediately after finishing Terra 2: Go to Scylla and take the elevator down to find 3 vending machines. The Rizzo's one sells 29 Armor heavy armor, and if you go to Monarch first or head the other way on Scylla, you might be tricked into buying 22-24 Armor crap instead. Then go back up the other way from the landing pad and you'll find another machine with stuff you might prefer for your own character. There's also a couple machines on Monarch for main character stuff, as well as some nasty critters below the pad that you can shoot safely (leave companions behind if you try this on Supernova, they will get downed) and then go collect that loot too.

[As far as I can tell there's no reason not to give your companions the heaviest armor you can find and the highest base DPS weapons you have. LMGs (I modded one electric and one plasma) or the tactical shotgun are probably the best at that stage.]
