"The Outer Worlds: A Casual RPG Warning of the Corporate Space Age"

The Outer Worlds, the spacefaring RPG developed by Obsidian Entertainment, was pitched as a more casual game with a sense of "Fallout meets Firefly." Director Tim Cain aimed to create a game that would be inviting to casual players while still offering complexity and interesting characters. The pitch resonated well with the final product, which features humor and a first-person perspective reminiscent of Obsidian's previous hit, Fallout: New Vegas.
