[The Outer Worlds won't launch on Steam]

Long time obsidian/sci-fi fan here. Just joining the chorus to say I will no longer be buying this game, if it is only releasing on the terrible epic games platform or windows store. Please reconsider this

Creepy Stuff

 

That was very weird and not helpful

[Pallegina left party to stand in the ocean.]

That is incredibly nice! I very much appreciate it, even though I’m just a big complainer. If I have a smaller question that may be a bug, can I ask about it there as well?

 

Sorry for sidetracking the thread

[How to side with Huana and keep Pallegina now?]

Yeah, real bummer. I was so confidend in my route. Went with Principi first time - I thought no companions leave you if you side with them. Used to be the case at least?

Left Dunnage and Pallegina left me. Feels bad man.

Yeah, it’s obnoxious because there’s no real explanation of how that particular route damages the VTC. I simply killed the RDC leadership without blaming VTC. There’s not a good in game explanation for why she must leave after that, compared to blaming the VTC for powderhouse.

[Is the game stable enough for Ironman run?]

 

Do you know which things can result in instadeath, other than talking **** to Rymrgand?

 

I think there's one other, involving Eothas, at the end of the game. But for the most part, the game makes it pretty obvious, and gives you the option of going back in dialogue.

[Whats the point of the main story? (spoilerss)]

The point is you can't always get what you want, but sometimes, you get what you need.

 

I.e. you cant stop Eothos, but you can help steer the future of kith, which in the end is prob more beneficial. The Gods are morons and should no longer be trusted to lead anything.

I agree with this sentiment. I think for story reasons (i.e. the next game) it was necessary, but ultimately the player will have a huge guiding hand. I'm interested in seeing where everything goes.

[Help with a new party composition]

Have you tried subbing out Aloth for a Half Wizard/Ranger Maia? She can be a competent spell caster if you build her right. What do you look for in a companion/party member?

[Pallegina left party to stand in the ocean.]

The Area Design team took a look at the saves and noticed that they all had reasons that would trigger Pallegina to leave the party.  Most of the companions have triggers that can cause them to leave the party if they are unhappy with decisions being made by the watcher.  I'll list Pallegina's triggers below.

 

 

 

• If the Watcher does harm to the VTC.  This includes blaming them for the Powderhouse incident.
• If the rival faction in Hasongo has been determined to be the VTC.
• If enough negative reputation is gained.

 

 

 

I do believe there was a bug where Pallegina was not leaving the party properly earlier in Deadfire's release, but the bug was fixed and allows her to leave the party as intended.

 

If you think you are not triggering any of these situations, we are more than happy to take a look at the conditionals set in your saves(send it to me at support@obsidian.net), but so far the devs have seen that the conditionals of the saves have been triggered negatively by one of the above reasons.

Hello, I am having a similar issue that may be a result of a similar thing, and could use some clarification.

 

 

 

I am currently trying to avoid losing Pallegina when siding with Huana.

I tried talking to the Hazanui then declining the Queen assassination, causing her to attack me (to not lose Maia). But whenever I talk to the queen then leave the island, Pallegina leaves! Even though her departing letters says I wronged the VTC, and when I ask she says everything's fine.

 

Also, VTC is not the "Rival" and I have good relationship with them/Pallegina. She was only initially exiled from VTC, but then welcomed back/returned.

 

So my question is, did killing RDC leaders and not following VTC plan suffice to get Pallegina to leave?

 

 

 

Thank you for any help/ guidance on this. I can post my saves if it helps.

I am also currently trying to avoid losing Pallegina when siding with Huana. For me, VTC is not the "Rival" and I have good relationship with them/Pallegina. She was only initially exiled from VTC, but then welcomed back/returned.

 

Here's what I did:

Any Ideas? Is it simply not possible?
