If you were to ask me whether I’m a first-person or third-person kinda guy when it comes to open-world RPGs, I’d reply that The Road to El Dorado answered it on my behalf 25 years ago: “Both is good.” Yes, the immersion of the hero’s perspective is a core tenet of the experience, but I equally appreciate the extra awareness I’m granted during combat with the camera sat at my back. It’s been a topic of debate for time immemorial, but I’d always advocate that giving the player the choice between the two where possible is the best way to go about it. While The Outer Worlds took the traditional first-person approach, The Outer Worlds 2 has expanded its options, offering a third-person toggle. Obsidian’s decision to dangle both carrots mimics what it did with Avowed earlier this year, and as game director Brandon Adler and creative director Leonard Boyarsky tell Jamie at Gamescom, The Outer Worlds 2 team wouldn’t have added the option if their hand wasn’t forced internally.
