You don't have to be level 13 to unlock companion abilities, you need 20 points in leadership. Also, just an fyi, there is a trunk in your captains quarters that can be used as storage.

Several things in this video are flat out wrong. There are locks you can't unlock if your lockpick skill isn't high enough regardless of how many maglocks you have. You have to be within a certain range of the lock's level to use them. I've got a lockpick skill of around 65, have a massive stash of almost two hundred maglocks [because I beefed it up early and very rarely needed to use them as you can open locks for free if your level is high enough], and I've run across at least three level 100 doors that do not provide the option to unlock them even with maglocks. Yes, they can be opened if your lockpick skill is high enough and aren't just story locked. Also, some of the stuff mentioned is locked behind a level. Such as repairing weapons in your inventory, you need to be lvl 20 in the relevant skill to unlock these things usually. You also use fewer parts repairing at a workbench, so don't repair weapons from your inventory unless you absolutely have to. [And you never really do, as weapons don't "break" when they completely degrade, and just have a debuff to damage when fully degraded. They'll still work well enough to get you to a workbench in most cases]. Companion skills are locked by your leadership/inspiration skill level, not your character level. You really shouldn't ever need to buy much of anything from vendors as you'll find plenty of weapons, armor, healing items, and ammo just lying around everywhere, even without stealing you should end up with a surplus of bits. Also, bribing people often makes you miss out on interesting dialogue or skip sidequests. I don't recommend doing it on a first playthrough. Tinkering a low level weapon into a higher level one results in a better weapon with slightly better stats than one you can find at the same level. It's also cumulative, so leveling up a level 10 weapon to level 30 will yield better results than leveling up a level 20 weapon of the same type to level 30. I should also reiterate that the difference isn't huge, but it does mean that you'll end up with a slightly more powerful weapon. The cost is also cumulative, so upgrading a level 10 weapon up to level 30 will cost a lot more than leveling up a level 20 weapon to the same level will. You'll probably only be able to afford doing this to one weapon if you're planning on keeping one of your early game weapons through to the endgame. Seriously, it will cost in the range of millions at higher levels if you're tinkering an early game weapon into an endgame one. It's not worth it for the minor damage boost you'll get, but can make for an interesting [and likely very time consuming] challenge to see if you can scrape together enough bits to max out a weapon like that. It is worth it to tinker a weapon that is closer to the same level as the highest level gear you are finding, as the cost does justify the additional stat boost if it's within a few levels.
Stealing is far too easy in this game. Nobody questions when you go into their store room, come out with your arms full and then sell them all of their own stuff.
Even though Obsidian is way better they and Bethesda have one thing in common, completely oblivious and dumb as rocks npcs. Like how you can literally kill someone in Skyrim but as long as you are hidden the other person will only think it was the wind.
And even if you do get caught, if your speech skills are high enough, you can easily get away with it with the only penalty being a virtually meaningless reduction in standing with the faction in question.
One important thing new players should know is to increase perception a couple notches when creating a new character, 50-70% of the game is talking your way out of or into situations, however any decent dialogue option is behind high perception checks.
I played a dumb character for the trophy. Had Strength and Dexterity on average, Intelligent on -1, Perception on +3 and Charisma and Temperament each on +2. For a not dumb character I would put 2 in intel, 2 in perception and either 1 in charisma and 1 in temperament or 2 in charisma.
Love the commentary and how it's presented, It's not just the tips, but the the way it is voiced. Very pleasant to listen to, not just a bit of boring tips presented in a factual manner, this presentation is interesting. Zola Delahunty-Light does a great job, keep up the great work.
I am actually super happy that there are not lockpick mini-games. I'm not bad at them it's just after the first few it gets really old and usually there isnt an option to turn the mini-game off. Like in Hogwarts.
this game was everything i wanted and more. If i was going to be RRRReeeaallly picky id say the only thing missing is radio stations with amazing unique song like FO ....but honestly... it exceeded all of my expectations. So glad to go back to the "silent" main character in dialog too!
Awww, what a cute ickle monster at around 09.36! i'm assuming keeping it as a pet isn't allowed? Every game should have the fast travel while encumbered perk - loot is too important to be left behind/prioritised! Thank you Zoe! X
actually, companions special attack unlock when you have reach 20 points in the last skill tree (don't remember the name) so you can have it at a low lvl if you desire to
Tip 1: Let your companions do all the work. (Yes, with your best weapons.) Tip 2: Sit back and watch. Tip 3: Press F. (To pay respects to the fallen enemy. And to heal your companions.)
You can repair your weapons and armor on the spot but you need lvl 20 engineering for this. And your companions do die if you play at the highest level difficulty.
Like most RPGs, shops and vendors in the Outer Worlds are almost pointless. Scavenging is so absurdly easy and lucrative that you'll have everything you could possibly want or need simply by picking up everything that isn't nailed down.
Mr Bigglesworth I loved it from the get go. And it’s free on Xbox gamepass and I knew absolutely nothing about the game and dove straight in. Just watching videos now to see what other people think about it

Your companion doesn’t die is not completely true. If you play on supernova skill. They die for good. So be careful. Every other setting they do survive
If they're done well, I agree. I think it's a bit of a pity this doesn't have them at all, when an option to turn them off (or autocomplete at a certain skill level) could work just as well if the concensus is that they're annoying after a while.
Can i ask what is point of going through creating player facial features at start when i've not even seen my own players face yet in game? Knowing me i be missing something.
I misread the original question and thought they were talking about climbing radio towers, like in Far Cry. A mechanic I think is overused in games. But they weren't so there's no reason for my "thank god no". So human error, mystery solved I hope.
Tip #1: Change the Field of View to at least 90 (from the default 75)!!! I played the entire first world with 75 and thought the entire time "something's wrong with the graphics, but I don't know what. I can't see anything" ...
@@j.barnard2669 I'm playing on the PC, so I don't know if that option is even there for console players. But on the PC, you'll find it under Settings / Gameplay I believe.
I don't think I have the patience for this kind of game anymore. Early on I already felt like a scrapbook boy or a working accumulator. Let's see if interesting quests appear. Compared to Fallout: Shooting is very good at The Outer Worlds.
I actually stopped playing after the first planet. I'm bored to freaking death. I love Obsidian games but this feels like just another Fallout type game to me. I had to force myself to finish the first planet in the game.
Tip 13 : you need to have engineering skill at 20 before you can repair items in your inventory

If you chose to play at supernova difficulty though, your companions can die (permadeath) if you're not careful.
Some stuff aren't true for Supernova difficulty. Companions will permanently die if downed in combat, and you can save only on your ship.
is this game not too short for most people? i LOVE it but i’m worried it’ll end too quickly.
