Decide Your Play Style
Once you’re happy with the look of your protagonist in The Outer Worlds, it’s time to start investing in various Skills. These will ultimately determine what abilities your character excels in, and those which they’re not so great at.
For example, the Dialog skill increases your Persuade, Lie, and Intimidate stats, which will grant you alternative dialog options in conversation once you’ve leveled them up enough. Meanwhile, the ‘Defense’ skill determines how effective your Dodge and Block abilities are.
There are a ton of different Skills and Perks (but more on those later) that you can invest in in Outer Worlds, and the best way to separate the best from the worst is to first determine how you want to play The Outer Worlds.
If you want to be a smooth-talking, sneaky character who hacks and lockpicks there way to all the wealth they can muster in the game, the ‘Dialog’ and ‘Stealth’ skills are going to be where you want to invest.
Whereas if you want your fists to do the talking, the ‘Melee,’ and ‘Defense’ skills are going to be where you’ll want to focus instead.
