False Categorisation

This game was wrongly included in the "Games delayed by COVID19 pandemic" or whatever. It's been out years now. Deleted category entry. Rachel Wilson, Manchester, UK — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.40.180.146 (talk) 03:11, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New Page

Masem Why not create a new page for "The Outer Worlds"? Barracudan~svwiki (talk) 10:23, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Creators of Fallout

While Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky were both the lead producer and art director, respectively, they are not the sole creators of the Fallout series. It was a AAA game of it's time with a full development team and originally intended as a sequel to a previous title who neither had worked on. (Wasteland) I believe it would be more appropriate if the article read "two of the original creators of" to not minimize the work others put into the game.

Per Category:LGBT-related video games

While not currently addressed in the article, here are some sources that could be incorporated regarding the game's lesbian representation: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Most notably, the game won a GLAAD award. Waxworker (talk) 16:17, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't see this talk page post before making my other edit, but I still don't know if a secondary character who happens to be lesbian warrants the category unless the game also features LGBT-themes or something. Maybe it's just semantics and the category could undergo a name change to better serve its intended scope? At the very least it should be directly mentioned in prose. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 22:23, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking as someone who has completed the game and per the sources given, Pavarti is a major character, and interacting with her is integral as she's one of the first people you meet in the game. The category is defined as "video games that feature LGBT characters as playable characters, as major characters essential to advancing the plot, or gameplay explorations of sexuality or gender that deviate from the hetero-normative". The game has won a GLAAD award for its lesbian representation, and it has been cited as an example of well-written gay characters. A game doesn't have to be 'gay commentary' to be in the category, the category is meant for games with significant LGBT representation, which The Outer Worlds has, as shown by the sources listed, among others. In addition, her personal quest is getting her a girlfriend. Her sexuality is an integral part of her character. Waxworker (talk) 22:02, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So in other words, the category needs to be renamed. ~ Dissident93 ^(talk) 22:16, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. The category is named that way for a reason, and the way you're interpreting it is not the purpose of the category. If you have an issue with the name of the category, take it to categories for discussion, as this is not the time or place. Waxworker (talk) 09:40, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Remastered The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition.

Why my addition about the Remastered The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition got removed? This information is relevant and essential to the subject of this game. 115.166.38.152 (talk) 06:38, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
