I think outer worlds is gonna live or die for me based on if they let you have some tankie comments or really any kind of responses that arent just apolitical "it's bad to oppress workers" vs "we need to make money somehow" stuff.

The combat looks crap from what I've seen, pretty similar to gamebryo etc

I don’t buy that the Sentients went insane.

when a living thing imbibes kuva it receives what's called an oro, which seems to work similarly to a soul. orokin adults, sentients and warframes all have oro. orokin ai like the unum also seem to posses one. orokin children do not have oro since they're used for body harvesting or whatever.

the experimental colonist jump ship that went through the void, the zaramon or something, had its entire adult population go insane while the kids were fine. orokin tower ai's in the void are violently insane, but the grineer, tenno, corpus and infested are fine. the unum on earth is the only tower outside of the void that we know about and it's also fine.

it stands to reason that the sentients also got hosed up from void exposure

the back story is that orokin adults and robots have oro and going through the ftl hell dimension makes anyone with oro go insane and things without oro that go through the hell dimension get cool magic powers

the orokin sent robots with souls to alpha centauri using the ftl dimension so the robots went crazy and came back to kill everyone and did this partially by hijacking all of the orokin's meat computers. the orokin made a meat computer virus but the virus started infecting all meat and it wound up killing billions of people. in order to stop the virus and robots the orokin made meat robot drones out of the virus and started cloning billions of copies of their slaves to reinforce their probably near depleted normal armies. after hundreds of years they managed to defeat the original robots. then the meat robots rebelled and killed the orokin leadership, the slaves got hijacked and went rogue and the meat virus continued running rampant. the game takes place hundreds or thousands of years after that as the meat robots resume operating

The Orokin very specifically sent the Sentients to Tau without using the Void. Void exposure affects Sentient reproduction and adaptation, and would have prevented the Sentients from completing the assigned task of colonizing the Tau system and building a gate for their Orokin masters. The Sentients rebelled against their masters and sent a vanguard back to the Origin system throught the Void to destroy the Orokin. This is the Old War. Hunhow, Natah, and the rest of the vanguard might have VOID MADNESS (I remain deeply unconvinced by this) but they did realize that Orokin colonialism was bullshit before that happened. Presumably the rest of the Sentients have been slowboating it from Tau since. When they finally arive, that is going to be the New War.

misandry is real
I think I might be hosed when it comes to the church side quest in Disco Elysium?

I told the ravers I would look into their dance club, talked to the radio operator, and struck a deal with her to help her out so she would leave. Only problem is I failed the white check on the ice box and can't open it since I've reached my skill cap with Physical Instrument. Is there a thought or something I can do to raise my skill cap to get another crack at this or am I SOL?

you could drink some alcohol, drinking something or doing a drug not only gives you an extra point in whatever attribute, but also raises the cap. just drink some lovely wine, give a point to coach physical instrument and crack open that icebox like the avatar of masculinity you are.

its explicitly stated in that recent update that using drugs to raise the max cap allows you to keep the point you invest in it

Tacoma is pretty explicitly leftist, or at least critical of capitalism in a interesting/meaningful way.

A CRPG people might be interested in if they're looking for something new after sufficiently exploring DE is Shadowrun: Dragonfall. While I don't remember it being terribly political, it is a pretty sweet world, and DE kind of gave me some shadowrun vibes. DE's writing is far superior of course, but still.

Dragonfall is good and you can get an ending where F-State survives under APEX's protection.

This is unfortunately not the canon ending for Hong Kong.

is the only way to learn about the pale from Joyce is to pass that level 20 conceptualization check?

likewise the paledriver has nothing close to that topic I can ask about and the only related book I found in the store is about medicine that does nothing.

My cop was too dumb to get the sandwich, but got dang I loved just bluntly telling people I'm a fascist for no reason.

Honestly this game has the same capacity for providing an introspective, therapeutic effect on your thinking that good literature does, if not more so due to the interactive and reactive nature of it. The writers of Disco Elysium understand mental illness, addiction, and ideology.

in case anyone else was wanting to play outer worlds on pc you can get it on microsoft game pass and game pass is literally £1 for me

you can even preload it which you cant on epic for... some reason

the downside is you gotta download the xbox gamepass beta to preload and it is shockingly poo poo. microsoft are loving awful at pc software for some reason. i had to do a 45 minute windows update to run the app (???) then the app crashed on launch, now i got it downloading but its very slow
