    Just started The Outer Worlds, which I got free on EGS during the holiday.

    I love the aesthetics and voice acting. The movement feels a bit floaty, but it’s alright. At least the configuration of the controls is intuitive.

    I know some people who’ve played it. Some say they really enjoyed it, while others said it was rather bland. I’m really enjoying it so far, but I’m not too far in. It seems like a game where I could get caught up in the side quests without ever advancing in the main quest.

      I loved it when I played it, but that was before I had played any Mass Effect games. Now that I’ve played Mass Effect, I don’t know that I would have liked Outer Worlds as much as I did. I wouldn’t be surpised if that’s where the differing opinions come from: those who’ve played Mass Effect vs those that haven’t.

        I’m in luck then because I never could get Mass Effect to create saves on my PC for some reason.

          I played ME1 years ago. It was decent overall, but I would hardly call it exceptional.

          I remember a little. Just that story was mostly good, main quests okayish, side quests mostly terrible and repetitive. It always felt like cheap knock off of KotOR (cheap in content, not presentation).

          Everyone was hyping the game so hard I was quite disappointed in the end. So disappointed I haven’t even started ME2 despite having it in library. And it probably won’t ever happen, especially when I discovered they ditched the bare minimum RPG elements ME1 had.
