The Outer Worlds - Impressions @PCInvasion

PCInvasion shared their impressions of The Outer Worlds.

The presenters chose to clear out the factory floor by making their way to the control room and making a public announcement. That's where we got our first look at the "dumb" option, which is a specific character trait for characters with below average intelligence that opens unique dialogue paths. However, be careful when going with this trait. As a dumb character, sometimes the game will only let you make a dumb response.

You can be just plain old dumb. They even have a phrase for it: script kids. You don't have to be dumb, but you certainly could be. It takes no skill. You just use someone else's program.
