Actually its more like Fallout New Vegas, not FO4. There's no karma system in FO4, and in many respects your decisions won't shape the game - at least until the end and you finally decide to side with a faction, where as New Vegas and Outer Worlds your decisions do matter.
The story requires you to make choices that effect characters and their lives. And you can get two companions from the first planet to crew your ship.
It's been a while, but Mass Effect seems to me to be similar to a Fallout Game, no? Maybe not as much action or story driven action in Fallout?
I've been playing on the Steam Deck. Native resolution very high dips into the mid 20's when doing conversations.
Enjoyable on the steam deck?
Example? If you don’t mind.
In the outer worlds, where you have a choice to try to convince the deserters to go back to vale. If you don't work on your reputation there, they won't go.
But if they don’t go back to the vale, is that it, they don’t go back or does something else result from that decision?
In essence sniper rifles are excellent for distance killing, in most games, even Cyberpunk 2077, I carry one, but the pistol buffs which I consider completely unrealistic in CP2077 allows me to use it most of the time, the biggy is the buff that removes distance penalties. Most of the buffs in CP2077 are fantasy buffs no relationship to reality, although you could argue that with cyber-augmentation, some abilities might be possible, therefore acceptable not to break immersion, and I’ve accepted and enjoy the framework, not much different than accepting magic in a game.
Oh I understand the difference between the two. Having a so called "space cowboy" build presents a completely different way to play. I'm usually the sniper and doing most of my shots from a distance. A pistol build requires a more up close and personal touch. Some games provide decent pistol builds. From what I can gather, its hard to get to a point in Outer Worlds where a given pistol will have similar damage stats as a rifle.
Outerworld is very much a game of choices and living with the consequences of those choices. If you start the game out with a generic non-specialized build, you set yourself up for frustration. You cannot alter the basic attributes once you set them.
Those attributes, strength, intelligence, etc, can’t be added to with XP accrual? In comparison with CP77, as you know, there are 6 attribute categories, out of 6, I maxed out 3 and dumped all the perk points in those attributes too, the vast majority based on XP accrual.
Except for companions, there is no buff to increase XP. Its the ol' you get what you get and you don't get upset type set up. The skills allow you to perform better in game, such as using heavy guns, or long guns, or pass language checks but it doesn't improve xp
