    Just got to Byzanthium myself,
    I had the option to buy either a nav key or you're man badge,
    surely you get to go to other planets as well?

    There is one more, fairly spoilerish to say which one.

    Finished at 23 hours and did every quest/side quest/companion quest I could find, once you get to Byzantium it picks up pace rapidly, not half as much to do there as on Monarch which is by far the most quest dense planet. Byzantium is also the last real 'planet', the final one is just a single level and not open world, similar to embarking on the final mission in a Fallout game really, so there's very little to be done at that point.

    The end is a bit anti-climatic really when it comes, but it's a wonderful experience and still game of the year for me hands down. Hopefully there'll be DLC for it as well. I got a 'good' ending in every scenario as far as I can tell.

    I only encountered one bug in the entire game and that was the game crashing repeatedly when walking into a room with Chairman Rockwell on the last level. If you actually go around, walk around the railings, and enter the same room from the opposite side, it doesn't crash.

    Vive la difference. On 38 hours and just left monarch with a few things still to do before proceeding to Byzantium.

    Could do with the spoiler tags for some of that .

    What, the crash bit? I don't really think there are any spoilers in that to be fair. The hard crash bug is a major game-breaking problem and is occurring on every platform (in a specific context which I have not or will not spoil and I've given no actual outcome whatsoever), only that there is a potentially game-breaking crash issue when you potentially encounter that character so people can expect it.

    Also, I don't think Byzanthium being the last real 'planet' is a spoiler either. If anything I now very much wish I knew that going into it, definitely would've spent more time aimlessly wandering the other planets just enjoying the scenery and killing marauders and outlaws and leveling up and all the rest. As I said, last planet is more like a final mission of a Fallout game, but I feel a lot of people probably reasonably expect another planet and could be disappointed. I certainly was, others have given a similar sentiment already.

    Finished it last night with about 30 hours gameplay, thought it would be longer so happy I got it on Gamepass.

    SAM is my favourite companion, his lines crack me up

    Ending spoiler......
    Feel like Earth will be on some DLC

    I fcuking I wasnt going mad regarding the cows.

    If you squint, your Outer Worlds ship looks a bit like Serenity. If you notice your hold filling up with 'wooly cows', that's surely a reference to a Firefly scene that shows Serenity's hold full of cows about to be rustled to another planet.

    Couldnt screenshot it at the time because Xbox Windows doesnt have a screenshot feature ?

    When i first saw the ship, i thought 'it's no serenity' but something oddly charming about it. I'm only a couple of hours in but such a whiff of Firefly off it, in a really good way.

    I saw them too!!

    Win + alt + print screen should do a screenshot, or you can press Win+G to open game bar and do it there (if you haven't uninstalled it).

    Minor niggle with supernova difficulty, when a companion dies Ada still mentions them like they're on the ship.

    Reckon I'm not far off the end of this so I decided to mop up some companion quests. Went to do
    Parvati's
    which is a bit of a fetch quest. Went to Byzanthium and because
    I have went against the Board the whole place is hostile to me

    Shot my way through but now can't fast travel out of the area and I'm pretty much stuck. I had to load a previous save and I'm going to have to ignore that quest completely now which I think affects my ending.

    Pretty bummed with that now to be honest that it locks you out of companion quests. It just seems weird to leave you stuck in the area and forces a reload of a previous save, which thankfully I had a recent one.

    Will probably just plough through to the end now I guess.

    Afaik they are only hostile for a set amount of time, that amount I do not know.

    But you can wait it out on another planet FYI she must be with you in ByZ to get to the next stage of that quest :)

    Have her with me and think it's the last part of the quest. Probably do another few quests and go back and see if it's still hostile. It's a bit obscure now about the whole waiting it out thing. I read that you can rest at the ship a few days and it will cool off but only way I can find back to the ship is to fast travel and I cant do that cos area is hostile.

    Worth playing this on hard for your first playthrough?

    Yeah definitely, once you start levelling up a bit it's a breeze. I'd have restarted on Supernova if it wasnt for the perma death on companions.

    I would say yes. I'm a good bit in on normal and I'm finding it easy. Haven't even tinkered weapons or used Mods and having no difficulty. Could always change it I guess but not sure there is any point at this stage.

    Essential. It's tough for the first few levels at times but once you get past level 15 or so it's a breeze even on hard. In my last 10 hours of play I think I only died once after getting stuck in a corner. I would've played Supernova but it'd be insanely difficult to keep your companions alive.

    I set mine to passive and never looked back , enemies won't attack them usually. The stuff thats meant to make it more difficult is just annoying at this stage, lost count of the number of times I was half way to a point only to get concussed or crippled and have to go back to the ship, once I got to monarch though I ignored it when it happened. Keeping my gear 5 levels ahead and taking the extra capacity perks trivialises it now.

    I invested a fair bit into speech and science (bonus to shock and plasma)

    Finished it there. Enjoyed it mostly. Gave up on the companion quests for a finish as I didn't find them too interesting. Got locked out of one a couple days back as the area was hostile and a couple more were tied to same area. Tried to do Felix's one only to find it kept directing back to the ship after going where it told me to go so I just figured I'd concentrate on the main quest. Few instances of getting stuck in areas too.

    Overall though I enjoyed it. Theres a great foundation for a few more games there. Think the last one of that type of game I finished was Mass Effect so thats saying something. Some of the dialogue options are brilliant and characters are likeable.

    Its nuts, used it for most of my play through. Pumped points into Science, unlocked the third 50% extra science weapon damage and did a bit of tinkering and just smashed my way through the last few levels. Serious AoE blast from a charged swing

    This crash when leaving the ship is killing this game for me, its only just started happening as well. I want to complete but its a head wrecker.

    Didn't get to play for a few days but runout, managed to complete all side quests on Edgewater and finish the area with what looks like the best case scenario. Just landed on Groundbreaker and the game has taken on this whole new space adventure feeling. Loving it!

    I know it's not, but the design of certain things makes me this game is set in a fallout universe where the bombs didnt drop.

    It's great and I was pretty surprised at how big Monarch was when I first landed considering the game is supposedly only 25-30 hours.

    I'm also pretty happy it's 25-30 hours, that's perfect for a game of this type imo. They just kept it all to plot and good side quests and left out all the unnecessary stuff designed to make the games longer (Looking at you here, Bioware) and for the most part, all of the content seems like quality over quantity.
