I mean this game is based on/a sequel to Pokemon Legends Arceus which played differently from all other games in the series.
Additionally, based on the trailer, combat will be changing once again.
That being said, I do expect it to be buggy.
So yeah, I'll likely be having fun with this game.
I couldn't stand much of Outer Worlds tbh. Avowed has been a 100% upgrade from my perspective. Not being able to kill NPCs and having no repercussions for stealing just seemed like they were transposing PoE mechanics to the first person perspective.
