You have to unfreeze more extremely smart people from your ship, then ask them to save the world. Is it rallying the downtrodden but resourceful people of Halcyon to overthrow their overlords, drawing on their shared knowledge to build a better future? No, that would be silly.
Phineas explains that there’s only one solution.
The solar system has been mismanaged beyond repair by a corrupt corporate board. From its first few minutes, you’re effectively one of the most exceptional people in the known universe, and an eccentric scientist named Phineas Welles has dispatched you to save Halcyon from a terrible fate. And instead of coming from a vault, your protagonist is an unfrozen passenger on the Hop e, a long-lost ship that apparently holds some of Earth’s brightest minds in suspended animation.īut Outer Worlds doesn’t bother with false modesty. Huge companies with old-timey names like “Auntie Cleo’s” have colonized a solar system called Halcyon, turning its planets into nightmarish company towns, hardscrabble survivalist compounds, or a labyrinthine prison. Instead of a Mad Max-inflected Earth with a ‘50s Raygun Gothic aesthetic, it portrays a far future where the Gilded Age of robber barons never ended.
