The Outer Worlds: Eight Playthroughs

I discuss the details of eight different character builds with which I finished the Outer Worlds. As a bonus, I include a list of purchase requests I received during the development of that game.

Videos I reference:

This just in: Tim defaults to a damn Stealth Archer like THE REST OF US.

One of us. One of us.

My 4th or 5th playthrough was the "Spacer's Choice is the only choice" run. I attacked everyone I encountered except Spacer's Choice affiliates; All while wearing the Moon headpiece, Heavy armor, and a minigun.

That was a good one and it really showed me how the game would bend to accommodate such an insane whim.

The fact that you took two robo-phobias for the scientist type that caused you to hide your character while your companions fought the rest. That got a good chuckle from me, you’re role playing your character well.

"Things people on the Outer Worlds team asked me to buy during the making of Outer Worlds [...] a pig wearing a mocap suit"

IGN headline: Tim Cain cruelly denied gamers of motion-tracked Cystypigs.

I cannot help but draw some parallels between the list of things you were asked to buy, the sort of people who would ask for those things, and the sort of games you've been a part of. Not only do I mean that in the most positive way possible, I'm tickled pink by the creativity and sense of humor that'd prompt them (the requests, and the play through ideas). Definitely will be a super fun Friday video for everyone else, and an early one for us! 🙂

Hey Tim just finished my first playthrough of outer worlds spent about 70 hours on it
I absolutely loved this game this game is definitely one of my top 5 RPGs
I usually never play a game more than 1 playthrough but I wanna see more outcomes

Go-Pro chicken is my new favorite thing.... I have SO many ideas for that!
Pro-tip: at my local makerspace, whenever a 3D printer has to leave the high quality printer farm, it is promoted to chocolate printer, the conversion is pretty easy, and the possibilities are Endless!

I just bought “The Outer Worlds” based on these videos you’ve been making, it cost less than “Starfield”, a superficially similar game, but it was easier to get into, largely because I didn’t have to constantly switch my brain between walk/shoot and fly spaceship modes (which may show the detriment of having more than one control scheme in the same game). I am really enjoying the game so far and have fallen in love with Parvati, and her shy, ace ass romance with Junlei.

Outer Worlds was my gateway back into gaming, it will forever be one of my favorite games of all time

[sswenr]

I really like these build videos 👍 if you kept similar notes for Fallout, could you please do a vid on that?

[LEIANCHARLESRAMAS-nl]

Can't believe Tim found "8 times the detail" on outer worlds

Can't wait for the outer worlds 2 🎉

Stealth Archer was always my favorite go-to build, and slowly I entered into the "stealth Melee" playstyle over time. However, what I've always wanted to do and which nearly no modern RPG has allowed me to do was a poison build that I could use to kill enemies without even being in the same room as them. Like being able to poison their food/drink, or poison someone while they were asleep without waking them up.

Oblivion was the closest I could get, but I had to use the duplication glitch to do it. I remember how much of a challenge and how fun it was stealing every piece of food from a bar that people hung out in, then stealing every piece of food or drink they had on them, then throwing my duplicated poison apples all over the room for everyone to pick up and eat. It was awesome just being able to sit back and watch my plan come to fruition, but I always wished I could do that as easily to the enemies/assassination targets more easily without the need to alert them and engage in combat.

It's not the best - It's Spacer's Choice! 🔥🔥🔥

[FrankRiverfr]

I just bought the spacer's choice edition weeks ago, and, what a great game, i wish it had a bigger scale with more biomes within one single planet. I'm patiently waiting for that sequel :)

[CalamityAbounds]

My Science focued safety inspector turned Subtlight Vice President was definitely my favorite run. The prismatic hammer belongs in in a museum

[cyrylkowalczyk]

What I love in Outer Worlds is how the game makes every possible outcome fun. I never felt the need to reload the game, even when something went wrong.

[rhinosaur]

your character names have me cracking up! lol i nearly passed out from laughing at the kill everyone name

While I have 9 playthroughs in NV, I couldn't manage one in The Outer Worlds and I'm not sure why, Love the content Tim have a great week-end.

[thatrealba]

I feel so fortunate that YT recommended this channel 😂

[utuberz]

Hearing Tim talk about different playthroughs makes him sound so normal. I think I forget he's just a guy who likes playing games, as well as a guy who makes them
