Quoting from myself in a previous thread about [The Outer Worlds](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-outer-worlds-now-this-is-what-i-was-waiting-for/937408/10) - > [@The Outer Worlds - now THIS is what I was waiting for](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-outer-worlds-now-this-is-what-i-was-waiting-for/937408/10): > > The point is, while the game feels polished, it feels like it polished many of the more traditional open world/side story elements off in order to streamline your path to the end . . . which is one of the games weakest points. I do suggest anyone who wants to talk about the first game check out the thread, lots of the same complaints and compliments there. But I think the best news about the trailer is that they are still going with the ‘not take things too seriously’ that made TOW1 what it was. Sure that point irritated me at times, especially when contrasted with the vary serious nature of a lot of the story beats, but it was a pleasant change from, say Fallout 4, which despite a ton of gag Easter eggs, largely played it straight - despite _needing_ a distraction from the weak and bland main story. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-outer-worlds-2-reveal-trailer-is-hilarious/944235)._
