Mop Up Any Remaining Quests, Especially Companion Ones
While The Outer Worlds doesn’t have any endgame, per se, there’s a lot of quests to find and complete, and it’s very possible you haven’t done everything by the time you beat the main story.
Because of that you should go and mop things up, and if there are any major side quests you haven’t done do those, then beat the game again. Some of the side quests can affect the ending as they feature major decisions.
Past that, if there are any companion quests you haven’t done, we cannot recommend enough that you finish them. The companion quests feature some of the best writing in the entire game, and do a great job of fleshing out your crew members.
Explore the Halcyon Colony
Exploration is obviously a big part of Outer Worlds, and although each map isn’t huge there’s plenty to see and do. The main story and side quests take you around each area, but there are still things to see and do off the beaten path.
Once you’ve beaten the story go back and poke around the wilderness. This way you might find new side quests, weapons, Easter Eggs, and even little stories on computer terminals.
Of course, you’ll also get to take down plenty of marauders and beasts along the way, helping you reach the level cap of 30, if you aren’t there already.
Play Through Again, Or Even Two More Times
One of the main draws of The Outer Worlds is the amount of choice packed into nearly every quest. When you beat the game, the best thing is honestly to just start up a new playthrough.
The experience can be drastically different depending on if you side with Phineas or the Board, or neither. There’s an absurd amount of choice packed in with different options for side quests, companion quests, and main quests, so get a couple playthroughs going and see what happens.
A much less honorable option, of course, is to just go on a rampage through Halcyon. In our interview with Obsidian confirmed that you can kill every NPC in the game, so it’s another interesting way to see how that affects everything.
