The Outer Worlds: 10 Ways It'll Blow Fallout Out The Water
5. A Space Setting Could Make For Some Very Creative And Diverse Environments
The likes of the Glowing Sea and Far Harbour in Fallout 4 confirm that Bethesda can throw together some really fun and immersive environments within the Fallout universe. Travelling from one area of their map to the other will display a huge variety of differing and dangerous lands to traverse. They are, however, limited in part by the fact that their games are set on Earth. Unless Bethesda make a drastic thematic change, this is a limitation that they will continue to experience with future entries to the series as well.
Obsidian, on the other hand, will not suffer the same limitations with Outer Worlds. By setting their story in Space and across multiple planets, the environmental possibilities are endless. From low gravity to both hostile and friendly aircrafts dominating the skies, Obsidian have the opportunity to deliver a wild and unforgettable universe.
Perhaps some characters would struggle in certain climates whilst thriving in others. Maybe different races and species could be found and interacted with dependent on location. Adverse weather effects could change the approach required to complete certain tasks in an instant.
The sky is no limit for Obsidian when it comes to Outer Worlds.
