Starfield, conversely, seems to jealously guard its setting, giving its worlds and characters a sterile, immutable feel that makes their universe feel stagnant. This is because The Outer Worlds is far more comfortable with the player prodding and poking at the game’s factions, institutions, and characters. Starfield may offer a far wider range of features than The Outer Worlds, but it’s Obsidian’s creation, not Bethesda’s, that imagines the more complete setting. By coming to terms with herself, Parvati is empowered to leave behind a life of tedious corporate toil and embrace a line of work that really matters to her. It’s a lovely piece of LGBTQ representation which also leads Parvati to take up a life aboard the Groundbreaker - an independent starship far removed from her original home in the corporate town of Edgewater. Parvati’s personal quest goes above and beyond, however, as you help the well-meaning mechanic come out of her shell and embrace her own asexuality. Parvati’s personal quest goes above and beyond The quest has him challenge his beliefs, potentially allowing him to find peace during the game’s epilogue. Max’s questline has him attempt to solve the question at the very heart of his religion - attempting to find the solution to the ineffable plan that he believes underpins all of reality. Starfield may look futuristic, but its people are having the same arguments about distributions of power that US voters have been having since the country was founded.Ĭonversely, Parvati and Vicar Max in The Outer Worlds plumb deeper depths with their stories. The contrast between the centralized power of the United Colonies and the diffuse individualism of the Freestar Collective seems taken right out of a modern-day US politics textbook. Starfield, by contrast, presents a setting that’s barely distinguishable from our own reality when it comes to society and social norms.
The Outer Worlds presents us with a very distinctive flavor of futuristic dystopia NPCs repeat corporate slogans like religious mantras, downtrodden workers rent grave plots from their corporate masters so that their loved ones might receive the dignity of a burial, and even suicide is considered “destruction of company property.”
STARFIELD TRAILER LEAK FULL
The Outer Worlds’ grim setting is full of originality and flair. Contrary to Starfield’s relatively tame factions, the hyper-capitalist hellscape of Halcyon is stretched beyond the excesses of our modern-day. Halcyon presents us with a very distinctive flavor of futuristic dystopia. Halcyon is dynamic and colorful, and full of dangerous people with dangerous ideas. The Halcyon star system where The Outer Worlds takes place may be far smaller than Starfield’s Settled Systems, but it is anything but stagnant. Though its scope is narrower than Starfield’s, Obsidian’s title does a lot more with a lot less, regularly poking holes in the tapestry of its own setting in order to produce more tantalizing storylines and interactions for the player. Released in 2019, The Outer Worlds is a sci-fi RPG developed by Obsidian Entertainment. However, other entries in the open-world sci-fi RPG genre show us that it doesn’t have to be this way.
