QUOTE(hazmick @ Oct 27 2019, 09:11 PM) Played through The Outer Worlds yesterday, and very much enjoyed it. Feels kind of like a cross between Fallout and Mass Effect, back when Bethesda and Bioware still had the ability to make solid games.
Decently written dialogue, interesting world-building, fun characters - including an asexual character with a romance story arc that was actually very well-written and made me feel all gooey and happy inside. The main story is actually interesting enough to have kept my attention all the way through, with plenty of options open to the player which will change the outcome of individual quests and the ending of the game as a whole.
The only major downsides to this game are the lack of customisation (most weapons and armour sets look almost identical) and fewer side-quests than I would like. Still plenty to do of course, but you will probably have everything wrapped up in about 18-20 hours, with little else to do outside of questing.
Overall, about what you'd expect from the good folks who brought us Fallout New Vegas. Not a bad start to what could be a great new franchise of single player RPGs.
HAZMICK !!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of Star Wars I'm also playing Jedi Outcast on the Switch. Ah it saddens me to play this game knowing the characters from the Expanded Universe are no more .

Made the game easier for me to play. Funny thing is playing without cheats is a whole new experience, I think I used to play with infinite health but doing that changes a lot of things like redoing certain areas that I'd would cheat through. Outcast is tough I'll give it that but its Star Wars and a fun one at it . I wasn’t as fond of Outcast. It’s a solid game, no doubt about it, but it just didn’t grab me like Academy did. Perhaps being able to dictate Jaden’s appearance helped with this. Felt more like my own character. This post has been edited by TheCheshireKhajiit: Nov 7 2019, 06:55 PM

I played Jedi Knight II with a mod that changed the player skin to a female Mandalorian, and another that changed it to Jan Ors.

But the voice was unchanged. Which made the cutscenes weird...

QUOTE(Dark Reaper @ Nov 7 2019, 08:17 PM) Oh speaking of Jedi Outcast, I remember playing the mutiplayer on the old Xbox and I would have player 2 (aka targeting dummy) be Luke Skywalker and I would would put the map on Bepin and force push Luke off and he had this funny as heck scream...lol those where the days.
I feel that if these games have a big weakness, it’s got to be the voice acting. I remember the guy who played Kyle in particular often sounds as if he’s bored or indifferent.
