She is just the right level of droll. Hell much of the game had me in stitches, I think the writers must be on the same wavelength of sarcasm + absurdity that I operate on.

Second play through?? Good lord I think I spent 10 hours on Edgewater alone just exploring all the nooks and crannies and then giggling like a schoolgirl at all the easter eggs.

"Are you going to come watch a movie with me or shoot people all night?" (the wife) I haven't heard that in a long time. This is a time sink in the greatest way possible.

i don't wish divorce on anyone. it sucks.

that being said, not being married anymore REALLY has it's benefits when it comes to gaming.

When I decided to get married I made it a point to never ever ever buy/play/try a game that doesn't have a pause button.

yeah but sometimes the pause button gets pressed and stays pressed for weeks at a time.

This is the build I wish I had used to start: Sniper build | The Outer Worlds | Nukes & Dragons

Kind of tempted to just start over rather than finish my current playthrough. Not like the game is that long anyway.

Saw a video of some game play prior to starting and it was a sniper build. Would snipe a few enemies at the start of a fights and then companions would clean up what's left.

That swayed me heavily and have done the build linked pretty much. Only issue is when mobs get close to you.

There must be multiple endings, i just beat it on supernova lol

So I'm a few hours in and started on normal, and I kind of regret it. Steamroll most encounters. But I don't want to re-do it all on hard.

I have hundreds of hours logged on some Steam games because of a honey-do initiated alt-tab that ended up being multiple days because I forgot the application was minimized.

Yeah, I started over this morning and it's working out great. I don't mind the close mob mop-up, and I just let the companions handle that anyway because while leveling I have the perk that gives +50% XP on their kills.

That and the one that lets you fast travel while encumbered are the two best perks to have imo.

Level 8, been to Groundbreaker, but just got back to Roseway to do the story thing. Maybe I'm just dense, but so far I've got this curiosity about the game that I hope it eventually tells me. About wtf is going on, why things are the way they are. We'll see what happens!
