There’s a long list of inspirations behind The Outer Worlds 2, but its director knows that “people are probably tired” of hearing about one of them.
Speaking with GamesRadar+, The Outer Worlds 2 creative director Brandon Adler says that “the first game was the most important reference” behind Obsidian’s upcoming RPG sequel. That should come as little surprise – rare is the follow-up that pays literally no attention to its predecessor – but there’s another major inspiration that Adler also admits is one that fans might be a bit fed up of hearing about.
“We looked at all kinds of things,” he says. “I know people are probably tired of me saying this, but Fallout: New Vegas was a big inspiration for us.” If you’re not up to speed with why people might be tired of hearing that, it’s because Obsidian made New Vegas. That history with Fallout meant that when the studio came out with a stylized, anti-capitalist, contained sci-fi RPG, it was relatively easy to draw a line from Bethesda’s RPG series to Obsidian’s burgeoning effort.
