The Outer Worlds 2’s first big choice is fatally flawed

As excited as I was to finally get my hands on The Outer Worlds 2, I was also a little apprehensive. After my experience with the original game’s first big choice, I knew that at some point in the sequel, I’d have to choose between two NPCs with wildly differing views. Lo and behold, that’s exactly what happened, as I was forced to side with one of two characters — the snakelike Milverstreet or the battle-hungry Kaur — in an early mission. But the outcome is a letdown, and the situation itself is reminiscent of one from the first Outer Worlds.
