Were married in what appears to be a heterosexual relationship (could be bi/pan but that's up to you at least)Īny one of these says a LOT to me about who my character is.

Find out what happened if you want I guess? In Fallout 4 the setup going in is you. In Fallout: New Vegas, you were a courier that was shot and left for dead. In Fallout 3, You grew up in a vault and your dad is gone. Part of why I liked these kinds of games is the ability to be who I wanted and create my own identity around the bare-bones narrative. Outer Worlds is a whole lot less janky than Fallout 4 is, and of course it has the better writing.įallout 4 is more restricting than I was comfortable with in my RPG. It's not one large map, it's divided into many smaller maps, however they are pretty good maps other than the negative space issue. In Outer Worlds there is little empty space between points of interest where it felt kind of jarring leaving a town to immediately be in a hideout of bandits. One thing Fallout 4 does better than Outer Worlds though is negative space. I think it's limb-targeting system (slow motion) is better than Fallout 4's (VATS). An example is getting a flaw where your character is afraid of robots, but if you accept a flaw, you get a perk later, so you have to decide if for how you built your character, the flaw is worth accepting.

One of my favorites is the flaw system, where sometimes you get a notification to accept a flaw to your character. There's tons of systems for role-playing in Outer Worlds. Outer Worlds is actually an RPG that plays like a shooter (think something more like Deus Ex, VTMB, or New Vegas).

I mean within the first 30 minutes you put on a set of power armor, grab a minigun and gun down a Deathclaw, regardless of if you have a high STR character to support that normally. Fallout 4 rarely locks you out of anything based on what your character is and isn't capable of. It's also part of the Fallout franchise, and if seeing familiar things of Fallout, it taking place in the ruined USA and all means a lot to you, then that may be the answer. It's an okay game in it's own right but it's not what it claims to be. I'd say Outer Worlds, but it really depends on what type of game you want.įallout 4 is more of an open world shooter that masquerades as an RPG, but it's extremely light on the role-playing elements. I don't know if I'd say Fallout 4 has better gunplay, but it is passable and much better than 3 or New Vegas.
