  - Official app—I didn’t know there were so many options--that's amazing! -- nm* - Flavorize—Stat nerd Nov 13, 11:53

Finished The Outer Worlds the other day, which is generally the highest rating I give a game, but damn if it didn't feel like it was missing a 3rd act -- nm - Ender Nov 13, 11:37 8
- Yeah, I’m liking it a lot so far, but I’m dreading the coming “oh, that was the end?” quest. -- nm - Tim Nov 13, 11:43
- I started it over the weekend. I felt slightly overwhelmed with the scale of it. Felt like I was rushing/missing things right from the beginning. -- nm - oblique, #1 Astronaut Nov 13, 11:40 4

      - No it doesn't. That might be the difference for you. -- nm - spamlet Nov 13, 11:24 1
