I have to say I don’t really mind that the series is finished. Played and tried to like both Outer Worlds games, but found their world, characters and general writing completely uninteresting. The satire was too much and too on-the-nose for me as well.
I enjoyed the first one enough to play through the whole way once, and play part way a few times after that. Like you said though. The writing was dull, and it seemed like they wanted it to be gritty, but funny, and the satire was too much. The writing was so weak that I didn’t even bother pirating the second one to see if I wanted to buy it. I think I might have chuckled once or twice on my first play through. And the rest of my runs, I just kinda zoned out of all the story stuff and shot things. The combat wasn’t amazing either.
