Immersion

[JimmyTheGent]

What’s everyone wanting for more immersive gameplay in the Outer Worlds? Gun holstering is definitely one. Companions showing their guns in non combat situations is another. What’s your vibes?

You can holster your gun in the game.

That’s not what he means, he’s talking about visible weapons on you when not in use

I want night time to be dark.  As it is I often can't tell, at first glance, whether it's day time or night time, because the landscape is completely lit up no matter what time of day it it.

Agreed with eris_c, for me what is lacking immersion wise is more "environmental" things like really dark nights but also a slower day/night cycle, NPC schedules (going to eat and sleep and shops should be closed at night) and also a way to know the ingame time (if it exists I haven't found it yet)

 

As is the game is great but feels more like a single day frozen forever or a play where the actors are all in place and frozen there not a living breathing world.

Im not touching the game until the arrows over the enemies can be removed.

[JezaGaia]

You can remove the arrows and many other things on PC by accessing this file :

c:\local\"your username here"\AppData\Local\Indiana\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini

Make sure to have a backup of the original file just in case

There are two lines to change :

EnemyAwarenessMeterMode=On   --- change to off
bShowEnemyAwarenessMeters=True   --- change to false

 

read through the file you'll see there are many other UI parameters you can change.

 

If you're on console though I'm sorry

3rd person cammera, what's the point of having a rich character editor if you won't see what you did? also, i am not playing MODOK but someone with neck and eyes in the head, not the chest

[JimmyTheGent]

Yeah 3rd person really needs to be here. Wanna see me character cruise into town like the megalomaniac he is! It’s a great start for the series though. Really brings back the old fallout feel for sure, unlike fallout 4 where your immersion was broken because you were a set protagonist. Few tweaks though wouldn’t go astray, mods would be sweet for consoles too!

to tell the truth, this is one of the immersive stuff i don't want to be removed, it gives me some senses that i lost due "first person" camera only: smell and hearing. As soon as i found those arrows i switched from "story mode" to "normal mode". Yet I still die a lot but i do suck big dinosaur balls at FPS so it is my own fault. Not like i am gonna "git gud" anytime soon because i am playing a melee character, but the bullet mode helps me more than yelling "USELESS SISSY, COME HERE AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN" most of time and it is making this game bearable to me
