Obsidian’s The Outer Worlds is a game that promises to please all Fallout fans out there. And in order to appease to even more gamers, Obsidian has stated that the game will not feature any microtransactions.
In an interview with Gamestar, Fallout creator Timothy Cain stated that there are no plans to include any microtransactions.
“There are no microtransactions in the game. You buy it once and then enjoy it forever.”
Obsidian has also revealed the game’s first screenshots via its official Steam store page. The Steam page has also revealed some new details about the game that you can find below.
- The player-driven story RPG: In keeping with the Obsidian tradition, how you approach The Outer Worlds is up to you. Your choices affect not only the way the story develops; but your character build, companion stories, and end game scenarios.
- You can be flawed, in a good way: New to The Outer Worlds is the idea of flaws. A compelling hero is made by the flaws they carry with them. While playing The Outer Worlds, the game tracks your experience to find what you aren’t particularly good at. Keep getting attacked by Raptidons? Taking the Raptiphobia flaw gives you a debuff when confronting the vicious creatures, but rewards you with an additional character perk immediately. This optional approach to the game helps you build the character you want while exploring Halcyon.
- Lead your companions: During your journey through the furthest colony, you will meet a host of characters who will want to join your crew. Armed with unique abilities, these companions all have their own missions, motivations, and ideals. It’s up to you to help them achieve their goals, or turn them to your own ends.
- Explore the corporate colony: Halcyon is a colony at the edge of the galaxy owned and operated by a corporate board. They control everything… except for the alien monsters left behind when the terraforming of the colony’s two planets didn’t exactly go according to plan. Find your ship, build your crew, and explore the settlements, space stations, and other intriguing locations throughout Halcyon.
Enjoy!

Woah i take back everything i said about the graphics level of this. Hype.
so you admit i was right?
???
werent you the guy who said the game looks like a ps game 2? Or was that the guy with the crysis avatar?
I kinda agreed with him, but i never argued with you…
This is kind of the game that single-player gamers have wanted for a long time. I’ll do livestreams of it when it drops. Seems like something that would be really streamable.
Red Braces For Teeth™ XD https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0067c1d26d048573d37391cc9e030fb503f1fd5cae97ff18263758099bd2b351.jpg
Yup. That’s my avatar.
Let’s see for how long Obsidian’s new owner Microsoft permits them to release games following this one without micro-transactions. Or, indeed, whether this will be their last game not tied to Windows 10 Store exclusivity.
You right, now the exclusivity thing is something to care about.
2019 is gonna be great.
This masterpiece, Metro Exodus, Sekiro, RE2mastered, Rage2, Control, Code Vein, DMC5, Wolfeinstein and AA/indie games like Biomutant, Greedfall, Sea of Solitude, A Plague Tale. Hoping that Witchfire also releases in 2019.
?
What I am excited for, Metro Metro Exodus, DMC5, Rage 2, Doom Eternal, Anthem (somewhat), 2019 is lit.
“anthem”
wut?
yup somewhat interested, but I will wait for the review before making the final decision
i mean the jetpack mech thing looks cool but its yet another destiny/borderlans/division diablo shooter clone made for coop in mind.
“Wolfeinstein”
No rip wolfenstein, press F to spit on machine games grave. Doom, ace combat, ion maiden atomic heart.
take the weeb games out of and we’re good, greedfall is being made by a trash developer, a pague tale is a walking simulator, rage 2 and control are mediocre. rest of your games are great.
my anticipated games: metro exodus, remastered RE2, biomutant, outer worlds, the new doom, sekiro (even though i can’t stand any game with dark souls combat system), my friend pedro and some games that might be released like mount and blade bannerlord.
” sekiro (even though i can’t stand any game with dark souls combat system)”
Same here but the combat looks more forgiving and you have a grappling hook.
No atomic heart though?
i don’t know a lot about atomic heart but it looks like it could be a good game. in case of dark souls, i don’t care about combat being forgiving or not, i just hate idea of rolling around and waiting for animation loop to end so you can attack, it’s stupid. also you have to kill same creeps over and over which is autistic and boring. i get 0 satisfaction and fun from dark soul games.
Rage 2 how retarded are you?
Thats Assassin’s creed What is terrible optimalized and have multipple DRMs . And if you are ao big of a expert then you would know that. But you dont cuz you are dumb. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4fd9d1a53f6f02e1ce766160ef764b7b300c784a28d862f02a76334b1d89bbeb.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9fccbfb351d0c22b7ceb190009678fe9690c4f02a19ed40e5e41adb63f460da5.png
Oh no ceysis 3 another unoptimalized game with full of effects that tank you fps fpr no reason
In Crysis 2 objects controlled Parallax Mapping and tessellation on the ultra setting, which only dropped me to 40 fps. While Crysis 3’s drops it to 20-30 fps with no tessellation or PoM in sight.
Shading affected the quality of ambient occlusion in Crysis 2. putting this on ultra in Crysis 2 dropped a few frames (maybe 5) but Crysis 3, it kills the FPS
Shadows I could run completely maxed on ultra on Crysis 2 with minimal affect on my FPS, Crysis 3 is a killer above low.
You would know that but you are dumb.
Crytek wants people to believe they’re still pushing the envelope, so they unoptimized the PC version on purpose.
Oh “INSERT NEW UNOPTIMALIZED AAA GAME WITH MULLTIPLE DRM” game runs bad on my pc Well i guess i need to rebuild my pc just Because this one game…… Oh well. Time to buy a 1500$ GPU so i can play games on max .. Oh its sot stable 60Fps ? Hmmm but its the most powerfull GPU…. Hmmm how about i buy a another one and use sli… Nice .. This game dont support SLI…. Nice…..
Time to buy RTX TITAN FOR ONLY 2500$ YEEEEEEEEY go nvidia gp dumb richt ppl …. . Make new standart for gamers so mid range gpus will start at 600$ …. Yeeeey ….
“Origins is unoptimized yet performance is more than doubled on decent CPU”
thats the problem. Game runs like crap buy a decent CPU….
Idiot logik . .

GTA5 : dude you can google your self Its runs avarage 70fps.
Google it uour self so you cant tell i am posing you fake stuff. And yes i have GTA and never saw the fps drop bellow 60 .
Just be honest u r mad cuz u sold your cpu 3570k but here i am telling you its still fine in 2018.
If a ps4 can run it anything can run it …. .
“Not only your PC is CPU limited, but also GPU (vram especially”
I never run into this problem in 1080p* never. Its 1080p get it You dont need 6gb of vram fo it get it
“You laugh from people who play games at really high resolutions and framerate yet your”
Yes i do…….
U know why …..
Cuz Gaytracing …
Image having a 4K monutor yet you cant play at 4K cuz you have gaytracing on.. You can turn if iff but thst would make no sense cuz you just got a 1500$ RTX card GENIUS…….
The same with GTA5, just set distance sliders at max and you can say good bye to 60fp
1080p .. .. 1080p you cant se 10Km away hello ??
Oh look comon sence ….

So you just got a intel cpu in the era of amd cpus ? Oh boy…. Arent you speciál bur hey its your money lol …..
“AC Origins comparison, when i5 3570 struggles with 35fps”
How about wont use the most broken game as a example … Huh
So the story is . You sold your cpu that means its dead thats it ……
Yet i olay gsmes fine ….
“and because I was forced to lower settings”
Or set LOD and draw distance to medium and save you self from building a entire new pc just cuz one game? Hello ?
“but then dont tell people you are playing games with max details on your 3570 because it’s a big fat lie”
I am playing on max details . Bit i play good games what are optimalized
(play overwatch in 4K 100+FPS)
lol, please stop posting here on DSOG, Mr. Luckynumber8. enough of your BS comments.
didn’t your mom suck your D*** yet ? Lmao, she must be hungry who**** for sure.
you are nothing but a pile of junk….
Shut up u MORON scum/Luckynumber8…The GTX 970 is more than enough for 1080p gaming. VRAM hasn’t been a issue for many, even after crossing the 3.5 GB barrier.
There are many many gamers who can still play AAA games without any stuttering, or frame rate issues with the GTX 970, as evident from the geforce and other tech forums..
stop spreading misinformation….next time, learn something….And NO, I don’t want any video/article proof from your side….I’m pretty much aware of this whole 3.5 GB VRAM issue.
deleted my previous comment, because no point in talking with useless guys like you….waste of time…
CRY moron cry…….lmao, you are indeed a lunatic.
?????
Lets see, post post apocalyptic game with diverse enviroments, made from avalanche who made just cause. impact full combat with powerful weapons fighting multiple enemies at the same time, powers that you can throw people around, overdrive mode that you go absolutely berserk and turn enemies into a bloody gory mess, ridiculous ragdoll physics enemies flying around, vehicle combat featuring vehicles bigger than monster trucks, mechs and one seat buzzsaw flying hovercrafts.
Its not amazing but certainly great and better than what bethesda did to fallout and what bungie has done with destiny. Or would you prefer another far cry or dying light 2?
Yeah but it might only come on bethesda platform and that’s a deal breaker honestly.
I prefer nothing
Cuz its a 0 effort game from 0 effort dev.
Rage was garbage and no one asked for this .. Or want this …
Ot will be a 10/5 game like the first one
You forgot one thing: Rage 2 and that Ubicrat postAp games looks like they had a nuke filled with colors blown up, unicorn farted, someone puked RGB……
And you, please stop posting garbage on DSOG, Mr. Luckynumber8. enough of your BS comments.
you are nothing but a pile of crap.
lol, please stop posting here on DSOG, Mr. Luckynumber8. enough of your BS comments.
didn’t your mom/sister suck your D*** yet ? Lmao, she must be hungry wh**** for sure.
you are nothing but a pile of crap.
Never thought I’d see such a positive and optimistic comment get any upvotes on this site haha. You should also add with Epic Games Store now being a thing it may lead to a more prosperous future for the PC platform, regardless of what people think.
Is not the first time someone tell us that another store will take over Steam, It has been years and some of these stores doesnt even have refund policies or local currencies outside US dollar and Euro.
It seems you and TheReaper95 are just mad because some people here is aware of that.
How am I mad? If there are genuine problems about most of these clients then people should have the right to complain. Steam has finally done a great thing recently for their Australian customers by providing them with a fair currency exchange. GOG for a while has benefited customers by providing them with online cash to make up for the additional costs of the games they purchase.
So if that problem is present with Epic I’m not gonna pretend that doesn’t exist. But there’s already so much potential with the client and what it could bring to the industry that it shouldn’t be shot down due to brand loyalty from others.
Also, Steam’s refund policy is a relatively new thing and it wouldn’t have come about if they weren’t threatened with that lawsuit which they lost against. They didn’t exactly do it out of good faith but it’s still nice that it’s there and it’s kinda to be expected from all digital platforms now.
Yep, 2019 looks to be a better year than 2018 overall.
Glad you left out Anthem 🙂
For me, because i loved the 1st, the new Dying light game is probably the game i want to play the most.
Is it a 2019 game ?
Dying light was amazing, but i wished there was more stuff to do, bigger maps, more weapon customization, much deeper story, more characters, much better textures and graphics, more colorful, more higher resolution, dialog choices with different outcomes based on our choices, etc etc etc.
IF THEY DON’T destroy the game with micro transactions or any other monetization scheme,
The next Dying light game could be everything i wish… 10 times more and better!
if the game has all the dialog choices they promise, factions, etc etc, it could almost be a mix of mass effect, fallout/etc games, with tons of stuff to do during hundreds of hours…
i want to see the next Dying Light game running on a 20-30Tflops Ps5 pro(699, 399 for ps5 core edition) or xbox2 X
You should not be wasting time here and spend it sharing your knowledge to others. You must do your own website, when criticizing and arguing should be banned and your opinion is the law…ah I forgot a site like that already exists, its being called PCgamer.
No microtransactions, no deal. And throw ray-tracing in there for goodness sake. Have some respect for yourself, game.
I want always online and a battle royale mode too!
One step at a time. Loot boxes are next.
There is a gameplay video on youtube any reason you dont post it?
Also gameinformer asked questions about rage 2, apparently it has a upgrade system and weapon upgrades, there is a vehicle that is bigger than a monster truck, no new game plus, but you can continue after the story is over. They plan paid and free dlc and you can choose gender.
Looking forward to it, hope they add romance to it later 😀
Guessing MS has no faith of any kind in this game, which is good in two ways. One, it won’t be locked to their draconian dungeon called the Win10 “store”, and two, I’m guessing Obsidian is being given some degree of freedom as a result.
Sort of like what happened with Deus Ex HR. SquareEnix looked at it and though “Pfft, that won’t make any money. We won’t bother you about it at all, just keep the budget down.”
Then, enter Deus Augment Your Pre-order Ex MD, where SquareEnix…. well, SquareEnix’d all over it. We all know how that turned out.
In short? If this game turns out to be good, get it of course, but avoid its sequel at all costs.
how do you know?
i just spent 30 seconds on google and concluded that to so guess im super intelligent!
ah yeah looks like obsidian do own it so yeah now MS will
I want to know will the game be modable and what engine are they using? UE4?
No info on modability yet but it DOES use UE4.
Wonder if people will pass on it if its not modable. Or is that just for Bethesda games?
Hopefully it’s good without the need of mods.
That’s besides the point. Whether Bethesda games are good or not. Modding is something people expect all the time. But why not this game from Obsidian? I guess it could the engine they use. What if they change their engine for future games so that moding isn’t really an option. Will that be ok?
Up until Bethesda games I’ve played most games without mods. If they were great games they didn’t need mods. However modding support is always a welcome addition. And when it comes to Bethesda games it’s a requirement since Bethesda is so inept/lazy they can’t even ship a good game to begin with.
In short if TOW ships with modding support – great, if not and it’s still a great game – fine.
The best example for me is The Witcher 3 modding. Granted the modding support for the game is half-assed at best. But even the best mods (STLM, E3 2014 Hud’N’UI, Hogan’s HD textures etc.) can’t undo the bland gameplay, non-existent choice-consequence system, constant hand-holding, generic world building etc., i.e. the base game is nothing special so for me personally no matter how great mods are they can’t (in this particular case) make the game something it’s not.
that chromatic aberration though it makes me shiver
Hopefully it can be disabled
Ditto the motion blur and DoF seen in the teaser trailer.
Looks promising, got a RAGE/Bioshock feel about it.
The game is kinda interesting. I’d like the main character to speak, though. In my opinion, it always takes away from role-playing games.

It’s a bad sign when almost every game journalist rates a game as a fail.
What a massive waste of money to develop that turd pile of a game.
I hope that Bethesda has learned a lesson from this fiasco.
Indeed. I see the Fallout 76 fail train rumbles on by way of the game’s update not having delivered on Bethesda’s promises plus it having sneakily without prior announcement increased the grind. Yep, even the shill media aren’t dumb enough to be defending this one!
As if the Fallout 76 debacle wasn’t enough, Bethesda also recently released a Creation Club update which of course broke many mods for Skyrim SE and Fallout 4 until the modding community remedy things.
rip bugthesda
hard to believe microsoft mite have them add microtransactions later.i not dont ever pre order and i wait to see game play on twitch before i buy games.
this has saved me a lot of money.
Could’ve been exciting if it wasn’t Obsidian – they can only clone more successful games.
I hope it has ray tracing and DLSS.
Need more LOLs from angry paupers.
At this point in the industry I’ll simply believe it when I see it. Especially with microshtako owning them now. If it only comes out on the shtakostore on pc, I’ll simply play the Codex version and by the time they actually release on a proper platform it’ll be too bad for them if Codex provides it first at that point.
