The Outer Worlds: 11 Gameplay Details You Need To Know

4. You Can Customise Everything

As is to be expected from a player-driven RPG like this, there are so many customisation options included in The Outer Worlds. This of course includes the look of your created character, alongside their armour and weapons (I found a spiffing top-hat that I became enamoured with), but it thankfully also extends to the minutiae of individual stats.

Though Obsidian have always attempted to maintain a certain level of tabletop inspiration when it comes to tweaking your character's stats and abilities, other RPGs (including Fallout) have attempted to streamline this and make it less numbers based. The Outer Worlds embraces the older approach however, and with every level you can tinker with different abilities and sub-abilities (alongside perks), which really lets you create a specific build tailored to your playstyle.

It's not exactly anything new, but it's nice to have that control back over your character, and combined with weapon crafting, armour choices and additional abilities, should allow players to come up with radically different builds that offer radically different experiences in the finished game.
