In The Outer Worlds 2, who you are is reflected in every decision, skill, and flaw that defines the way you move through the galaxy. Obsidian Entertainment’s long-awaited sequel takes character customisation to a new level, letting players shape their own commander from the ground up and experience a story that reacts to their unique approach.
From the moment you begin your mission as an Earth Directorate agent sent to investigate catastrophic rifts across the Arcadia colony, The Outer Worlds 2 makes it clear–there’s no “right” way to save humanity. Every choice, from your dialogue style to your combat strategy, builds toward a version of the story that’s entirely your own.
Build your perfect commander
Character creation in The Outer Worlds 2 lets players sculpt their commander’s appearance, background, and strengths–while flaws, which shape how others perceive you, are assigned by the game as it observes your playstyle. Want to play a silver-tongued diplomat who can talk their way out of any firefight? Invest in Speech and Charm to unlock persuasive dialogue options that can shift entire faction dynamics. Prefer the subtle route? Focus on Stealth and Engineering to sneak through conflict zones, hack terminals, and strike from the shadows before anyone knows you were there.
This sounds like an exciting development for The Outer Worlds 2! The ability to craft a character that truly reflects individual playstyles adds a whole new layer of depth to the game. Looking forward to seeing how these choices impact the gameplay experience!
