Don't. Trust me.

If you have stacked Gamepass (@Vorph does, a few here do, I still have mine until Aug 2026) it doesn't hurt to try it. But now you have to pay $29.99 for one month (More in your neck of the woods) and it isn't worth it at all. Like ACG said, I think 80% of the people playing this will drop it like a bad habit before they get off the 1st planet.

Avowed, other than a couple of little things and one companion, was not that bad; The Garrus-voiced companion had a gay relationship briefly touched upon in one quest, for instance and there was a DEI companion who never shut up about Woke BS the whole time who I left at camp the entire time. I am sure there were other things but nothing that really sticks out to me.I am the most Woke-sensitive person there is, and if I could ignore it, then anyone could ignore it. None of the reviews that I have seen indicated that there is anything woke about this game; Outer World was heavily anti-Capitalist in its satire, howeverm and the DLC/expansions even more-heavily handed in that regard. Supposedly OW2 is "more serious", which means less absurdist in its anti-Capitalist commentary.

There are no romances in this game. Hopefully they stayed clear of ideological anything.

If there is anything like that in Outer World 2 I will report back.

I thought Outer Wilds one was enjoyable. Those NPCs in the picture make this look very unappealing.

If you think back to the first one you'd realize these companions would fit in perfectly there as well. The gameplay was serviceable and the levels were meh but the damn characters caused me to uninstall half way through.
Parvati Holcomb is a character in the 2019 video game The Outer Worlds, known for her role as a companion to the player. An Indian engineer with a distinct southern drawl she's romantically attracted to the female character Junlei Tennyson, though she grapples with her asexuality and anxieties around pursuing her, with the player-character being able to help her work through her issues. She has garnered a dedicated fanbase, with many players expressing a strong connection to her character.

"Being able to help her work through her issues," i.e. being pestered about it constantly, dedicated fanbase my ass. She was just the most glaring example.

If you're that bored, just start another Elden Ring playthrough. Working on my first Megabonk build with dual beat sticks. Stay strong out there, homies.

Were you also talking shit prior to release about how nobody was going to buy it because of how much of a dumpster fire Gearbox is?
