    I try to keep preaching, Outer Worlds and New Vegas were written by different people. Marketing pushed the connection because of the shared studio, but the actual creative teams didn’t have much overlap.

    Leonard Boyarsky wrote Outer Worlds, and if you look at his previous credits the structure for big choices makes more sense.

    It’s not a bad difference, but it is very different writing from New Vegas, and people going in expecting New Vegas are going to be disappointed.

      Sure, but that’s why Tim Cain coming in is great news, because at the end of the day I think what a lot of people really want is New Vegas 2: IN SPAAACE.

        Tim Cain isn’t “coming in”. The first Outer Worlds game was Tim Cain’s baby along with Boyarsky. It’s not a shock he’s working on the second one.

        Tim Cain didn’t work on New Vegas.

        The second game is likely going to diverge further away from New Vegas, not become more like it.
