The Outer Worlds<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t the first game to introduce the concept of perks and flaws, especially when considering Obsidian Entertainment\u2019s other standout game Fallout: New Vegas<\/em>. The Outer Worlds<\/em><\/a> has a distinctly different feel to it, though, especially when compared to New Vegas<\/em>\u2014more capitalism in space, as opposed to the Western aesthetic of its spiritual predecessor. However, both games have an in-depth perks and flaws system that enhances players\u2019 gameplay and immersion in the story. Both games also added new perks and flaws in each DLC addition.<\/p>\n

While Fallout: New Vegas<\/em> has been over-and-done with<\/a> for quite some time, The Outer Worlds<\/em> only released two years ago and has already added one DLC, Peril on Gorgon<\/em>, to the mix. Though no official date has been announced yet, the next DLC, titled Murder on Eridanos<\/em>, is set to debut sometime this year. Peril on Gorgon<\/em> added a few interesting perks and flaws in the game, so it would be interesting to see Murder on Eridanos<\/em> add the same amount, or even a little more,\u00a0for the overall gameplay experience.<\/p>\n

Peril on Gorgon<\/em> added the mystery and intrigue\u00a0of the Gorgon asteroid to the game, and Murder on Eridanos<\/em> seems to be following a similar pattern<\/a>. However, instead of a shut-down Spacer\u2019s Choice facility, the upcoming DLC will focus on Halcyon Helen, the main actress in the serial \u201cTerror on Monarch\u201d and her last adventure. This story could add intriguing new perks that somehow reference the story being told, but could also just exist separately as new abilities.<\/p>\n

The last DLC added 6 new perks (2 in each tier) for the player character. Companions also had 2 new perks added with Peril on Gorgon<\/em> (one for Tier 4 and one for Tier 5), with one hilarious standout being Felix\u2019s This. Is. Tossball!<\/a>, which unsurprisingly gives him increased damage when using Tossball equipment as his weapon. While these perks were beneficial to players, they also seemed only loosely tied to the Peril on Gorgon<\/em> storyline.<\/p>\n

For example, Applied Science could easily relate to the science-based facility on the Gorgon asteroid and the abandoned lab players had to explore on the planet Olympus. Others, like Improvisation Warrior or Lone Master, didn\u2019t seem related to the story at all and were just newly unlocked perks. There\u2019s nothing wrong with these additions, as they can be very helpful perks depending on the playthrough players want, but it would be interesting to see \u201cthemed\u201d additions referencing things like the Greek mythology of Eridanos<\/a> or some of Halcyon Helen\u2019s other adventures.<\/p>\n

Conversely, The Outer Worlds<\/em> might do well to take a page from Fallout: New Vegas<\/em>\u2019 many perks, but specifically the Hunter perk. So far in the game, The Outer Worlds<\/em> has limited perks that give players advantages over certain kinds of enemies\u2014mainly Automechanicals, thanks to companion perks from Parvati and SAM, but also a bit of a bonus against Creatures when Nyoka\u2019s companion quest is completed. However, adding in perks that allow extra damage to Mantisaurs, Raptidons, and Primals would come in handy for players<\/a> who don\u2019t have Nyoka in the party. Also, with Automechanicals, it would be an interesting perk to allow players to sneak up and power down Automechanicals similarly to how players can pickpocket when they reach level 40 in Stealth.<\/p>\n

Fallout: New Vegas<\/em> had a trait system<\/a>, rather than a flaw system, with traits having both a positive and negative effect. The Outer Worlds<\/em>\u2019 flaws, however, have purely negative consequences when they\u2019re accepted but give players an extra perk point to redeem whenever they want. Some flaws only take effect when triggered, like Cynophobia activating when near Canids, while others are permanently in effect from the moment they\u2019re accepted. Flaws like this include Drug Addiction (using too many drug consumables) or Corrosive Weakness, where players are more sensitive to corrosive damage at all times, whether it\u2019s from a Raptidon attack, falling into a sulfur pit, or just fired from a weapon.<\/p>\n

Though Nietzsche\u2019s Reward was a perk included with Peril on Gorgon<\/em><\/a>, it\u2019s tied to flaws in a big way, as each flaw the player takes on adds 5% damage to every attack. Flaws are triggered within the game when players do the actions impacted by the flaw, and players have the option to accept or deny the flaw presented. Peril on Gorgon<\/em> did add new flaws to the game, but it\u2019s difficult to distinguish what they are because flaw prompts come up so infrequently and only after doing something repetitively (like falling excessively or using too many nicotine consumables.)<\/p>\n

As for Murder on Eridanos<\/em>, it would have to add flaws that aren\u2019t too similar to what\u2019s already in the game. Players can already suffer a variety of \u201cphobias\u201d based on their encounters with different groups (robots, Mantisaurs, etc.), so if the next DLC adds access to the planet Typhon, it presents a unique opportunity for extra phobias. Typhon\u2019s Greek roots indicate that it could be a planet full of monsters<\/a>, and unique monsters would mean an extra opportunity for players to accept a flaw based on too many encounters with these new creatures.<\/p>\n

The planet Hephaestus<\/a> is owned by the Hephaestus Mining Company, which may actually mine things, but could also be a top-secret science lab, based on the Mandibular Rearranger that was manufactured there. If the Mining Company has found refuge under the surface of the planet, it\u2019s possible that the game could add a flaw that\u2019s modeled after being scared of the dark because being underground could potentially be dimmer than being on the planet\u2019s surface. A flaw like that would fit into the game pretty well, as players also have a day and night cycle when playing.<\/p>\n

Though there\u2019s been no word about when Murder on Eridanos<\/em> will release<\/a>, the last thing fans knew is that it would be sometime this year. Until then, players can always dive back into Peril on Gorgon<\/em>, or even just the base game, to reacquaint themselves with the perks and flaws they\u2019ve chosen for the Stranger.<\/p>\n

The Outer Worlds<\/em><\/strong> is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, Switch, and Xbox One.<\/p>\n
