Yeah, I had a false start at Outer Worlds a few years back on release,
and now I'm doing an earnest run at it. The setting *is* really
interesting, and I like the humor, but it's one of those games where I'm
going to stick to the main quest line.

 
So how is that going? I've been thinking of the same as the sequel was
announced and actually restarted yesterday. From Epic stats my previous
attempt was all of four hours. I can already tell the extreme
corporatism at the start gets old really fast.

I didn't have a problem with that as to me it came across not as some
sort of serious political commentary but instead really just a parody.
Admittedly parody has a long history of effectively being used as
criticism in an easier to take format.

Yeah. It's in the tradition of Jonathan Swift or George Bernard Shaw.

Wait... what? Did I just say that?
