Hi,
I got The Outer Worlds on release day and played it last weekend just fine. But when I tried to play on Thursday, nothing happened - the game doesn't open, it just flashes briefly in the task manager and then disappears. Doesn't matter if I try to open it directly or through the Xbox app.
I updated my graphics driver (Nvidia) just before playing on Thursday, so I thought it might be the problem and tried rolling back, but it didn't help. I installed all Windows updates, I checked Windows file integrity, I reinstalled the game - still nothing. It just won't launch.
Any ideas?
-
I can't even get it to run anymore, it flashes briefly in task manager and then disappears. It ran fine for a week, the only thing that changed is that I installed the new Nvidia driver, so I think it might be connected - but I tried rolling back and it still wouldn't launch. I guess I'll try a full reinstall next.

I'm okay with that. I need to replay PoE and I haven't even started yet.

How's a Kind Wayfarer as a tank, though? I don't expect to do much killing to feed Strange Mercy... So order-specific skills fall to the sidelines. Hmm. A Shieldbearer might work with my character concept too.

This is useful. Is it okay if I hijack the thread a little?
I might have asked about it before, but only now do I actually have time for another playthrough, so here's the problem: I want my main char to be a Wild Orlan Kind Wayfarer and I also know I'll recruit Pallegina and Hiravias. Keep in mind that it's more of a roleplay adventure than a hardcore optimized run. With these two paladins in the party, how would you build them? I'd like for one to be more tanky, but I have no idea which one, I'm not very familiar with paladin talents. Any advice?
-
Yes, unfortunately.
Why is this **** a thing again. It was merchandising with barely a game on top of it, even in the 90's.
And yet... this is the ultimate Darwinian experiment in natural selection. All the lemmings with no sense of their surroundings will go over a cliff, get run over by a car or fall over a precipice, into a volcano.
So all these nerds who stayed in their basements and developed back and mental problems are fine yet when there's a game that encourages them to go outside and be healthy that is lame?
Also the Pokémon games are ridiculously full of strategic depth and content. It might not be your cup of tea but to call it barely a game is a lie. Not a personal attack, a stated fact. What you said was a flat out lie.
If they need Pokemon to go outside and be healthy then they're already beyond salvation. I'm a nerd yet I find time to go to the gym at least 4 times per week. Its really not that hard.
I played the old Pokemon games, perhaps Gold or Silver. To call them full of strategy is a mighty leap of the imagination. In my experience its a typical jrpg grindfest in execution and the breeding aspect is a spreadsheet for nerds. I consider it a mind numbing slog as only Japanese games can be.
You're making a fool out of yourself, judging a whole franchise by its second game entry released 17 years ago. It was before natures and abilities, the physical/special move split, stat overhaul, reusable TMs, double battles, online connectivity... It's ancient history in video game terms. But beyond games, there was still more than just cash-grabbing merchandise. Millions of us grew up with the Pokemon anime, PoGO reminds us of those times - even those who haven't touched anything Pokemon-related in years - and this excitement is a beautiful thing to watch. If you don't like Pokemon, that's fine, but to dismiss it as **** for lemmings and nerds is, well, embarrassing, considering the kind of forum we're on. I guess sitting on your couch stabbing virtual dragons with virtual swords is somehow more socially acceptable than going out for a 5 mile walk to catch these dragons? It's a good thing most of us are adults well-versed in the fine art of ignoring petty killjoys and carrying on with our lives.

Why would you even play it while driving? Eggs stop counting steps if you go too fast - a bicycle can break the limit, let alone a car. And Pokestops have a pretty low interaction radius. You'd have to drive at a snail's pace to reap the benefits.Traffic signs here in Arizona say Pokemon Go is a no-go when driving
Not my photo but here it is
I installed it on my phone but I can't really play it in the two places I play the most games on my phone, bathroom and bedroom, so it doesn't get played
-
I mean why not pick ciphers or enchanters who can cast spells indefinitely?
Because chanters are mind-numbingly boring and wizards are delightfully versatile.

Can you elaborate?Pollaxe. Finally a pollaxe in an RPG, which it turns out to be a poleaxe instead. Sad face.

There's probably a mod for everything when it comes to TES games, but Skyrim is a murderhobo adventure and if you removed enemies, you'd lock yourself out of 90% of quests and walk around a very empty world. That said, you can explore and have fun in a relatively peaceful way if you specialize in Sneak and Illusion. Just don't expect to finish any questlines.and I wouldn't be surprised if there's a mod for Skyrim that just removes all enemies or something like that.

White March, and no. The game is finished.Will there be a Winter March 3? May be there will be some good firearms there?

This is a ****ing disgrace. I still have the copies I bought elsewhere, but I can't redownload them, so I'm going to rebuy them on GOG right away just in case. Wouldn't want to be left with only my old disks in the digital age.

What?(on a side note, which also got negative feedback, if you ever want the classic versions from GoG, you better hurry, because Beamdog is going to bundle them with the "not so enhanced" editions and make them not avaible on their own anymore)
You will not be able to buy the classic versions on their own anymore from GoG. You will only get them with Beamdogs EE´s. Or in other words "buy our product if you want the classics you sheep"

So did he or did he not think murdering them was the right thing to do?
He didn't consider them civilians, he considered them traitors.
How aboutNever underestimate the strength of peer pressure. Mob mentality is a powerful thing, and it's clear from the flashback that he was worried they'd turn on him if he looked weak. What was he supposed to do:
A) attack an angry mob by himself with no weapons trying to defend a town of craven traitors and be instantly killed.
OR
B) throw a damn torch at a house and at least look like he's taking part
C.) Stay home and not commit a massacre of civilians?

I could, but I can't stand Durance. Besides, that post was prompted by an earlier one talking about priest PCs.If I wanted to do an "evil" playthrough, I'd definitely go with a Skaen priest. Such a fun concept. Throw in a Bleakwalker companion and you're set.
Or you could play a Bleakwalker PC and use Durance as your "evil" priest, since it doesn't seem like being in a party with a Bleakwalker PC would bother him much, if at all ... though I can't speak for any of the other Companions.

Can you just let him go or do you have to lie to the Devil and say he didn't do it? I don't remember the dialogue options.
-
You can lay down only one trap per character.

My first playthrough was without a priest. I used Durance in my second until I got to White March, where I switched him out for Maneha - I now have Kana as my only support character, no priest, paladin or druid. It's not an optimal party, but it works well enough. All problems I've had so far can be attributed to my inadequate skills with managing my team, not the team's weakness. I'm not sure yet how I'll fare in the hardest encounters, but I imagine I will be fine with just scrolls. I mean, come on, people solo this game, so everything's doable.
I won't lie, Viconia is still one of my favorite characters. I doubt that's the kind of cute the OP is looking for, though.You should be able to romance the cute female priest, as well.

You are not required to kill the Sky Dragon to complete Hylea's quest.
Sky Dragon is the only boss that kind of irks me. Not because I think it's harder than Alpine, or Adra, or the archmages or anything like that. It bugs me that it is part of a pseudo-mandatory main quest. Technically it's not 100% mandatory, but it's one of 4 solutions to a 100% mandatory quest, and by FAR the hardest of those 4 options.I'm laughing at the thread title. This game has to be the most balanced game I've ever played.
Complaining about OPTIONAL content that supposed to be harder than the normal content...sigh smh. That's like complaining about about rolfstomping sephiroth but getting ur ass handed to you by ruby weapon.
Remember OP, in RPGs that are trying to go with the old school formula, the LAST boss is hardly ever the most challenging battle in the game. There's usually always an enemy or two that's hidden off the path that u DONT have to do that would make the last boss seem like a lvl 1 scrub.

You could always use a scroll of Hidden Wonders, but it feels like kind of a waste to spend it on one trap.

Are you all talking about the whole forum or just Way Off-Topic? Because there are women posting in other sections. Not many, as usual on a gaming forum, but some exist. There were more earlier in PoE lifetime, but they have since wandered off.

IIRC, when he reached the Devil's house he ran into another aggressive guy who took him for a villager. He was about to be attacked, so he immediately threw the torch to show which side he was on. You could maybe spin this to say he had doubts and he burned that particular family only to save his own life. But to me he was murderous scum and that's all there is to it. *shrugs*There were no mitigating circumstances. He and the others went to Cold Morn to wipe the village out. They spent hours there killing everything and everyone that moved including children. Yes, he might have felt regretted his actions during and afterwards but that doesn't lessen his culpability in anyway. He still killed and in fact, burnt a family to death. Seriously, what mitigating circumstances could there be.....

If you did use two paladins, how would you build them? Would a tanky MC and more offensively focused Pallegina work?Also Pellagrina is better than any custom made paladin hireling.
So unless you are planning on having two Paladins and trying to decide if your MC should be a Paladin, the answer is Pellagrinna.

Update: I figured out how to fix it, sort of. It works when I change Windows UI scaling from 100% to 125%. It's not ideal, but at least I can play the game again. If anyone knows how to make it work in 100% though, I'd appreciate any suggestions!
