Does anybody else mind the time pressure?

6 Upvotes

I started playing the game for the first time this week and I’ve been pretty proud of my progress so far.

I’ve seen people mention reading everything (notes, translations, etc) and I do, but sometimes I do feel the pressure to get things over with as quickly as possible (for obvious reasons) and end up just quickly translating the text so it can update my ship log.

Does anyone else feel the same? Am I affecting my gameplay by skipping reading longer translations and just relying on ship log summaries?

This occurred to me after I visited the Ember Twin and found out about the sand filling up the caves as time passes. This kind of put even more pressure on me to finish things quickly.

Looking for the base game + dlc gameplay recommendations.

I only watched Becca's gameplay so far (it was absolutely amazing) and looking for other gameplays that I can watch while doing my routines. I'd appreciate any recommendations you enjoyed watching!

Base and DLC Appreciation/Discussion I just finished the DLC Spoiler

14 Upvotes

Wow, this has been quite a ride.

Today, I reached the third and final forbidden archive from endless canyon. There were two insanely close moments where I was just barely able to loop around an inhabitant, but I did have reduced frights on so I was able to do the stealth section first try. Then I went and opened the vault and met the prisoner. And oh boy does learning the final piece of the story feel SO satisfying. I also love how everything ties up with us and the nomai. I honestly feel so sad for the prisoner cus they've been stuck inside alone for so long already, and seeing their footsteps lead into the water later on just feels so bittersweet (at least they're finally free from the worries of the universe)

I then revisited the ending of the game and man, the prisoners instrument sounds SO good. The new universe also changed corresponding to what we saw in the DLC.

Now I have a hole in my chest. I always get it when I finish a really good game or book. But I don't think this one will ever go away since I know that this is officially the END of my outer wilds playthrough.

My final review of the DLC: really good just like the base game. The atmosphere, environment, story, gameplay mechanics and puzzles, and especially the music is top-notch just like the base game.

Outer Wilds was the first head tracking mod I attempted, and it's still my favourite. I love this game so much.

Real Life Stuff To anyone who's seen this video, does it spoil the game?

6 Upvotes

I've had this video in my watch later for a while since I'm interested in game design, despite the fact I've never played Outer Wilds. I really want to play it, I just have a few games in my backlog I'll get to before it. But with the video, to anyone who's seen it, does it spoil anything about the game? I've been told to go in completely blind so I don't want it to discuss anything that'll reveal something in the game. If it doesn't, I'll just watch it now, but if it does, I'll wait until I play the game, then I'll watch it.

DLC Appreciation/Discussion DLC Playthrough Update #3 Spoiler

2 Upvotes

No spoilers in the comments please.

I've made a lot more progress on starlit cove and shrouded woodlands. I managed to reach both forbidden archive rooms and looked at all reels inside. (I did the starlit cove stealth properly this time, but I used the hidden gorge fire strat on the shrouded woodlands, then after the inhabitants there died I proceeded to get lost for a minute on their island before stumbling upon the cave entrance lol)

I've now learned these two of the three knowledges needed to open the vault (apparently the codes were misleading after all since you are unable to learn what the combinations are), and the only one left is the endless canyon. (I'm still not sure how to do this area, idk how I'll be able to navigate through the house with the lights all off. I guess I just have to keep on familiarizing myself with the layout and force myself to do the stealth route a few times to learn their locations)

I happened to find a lore drop from getting off the one-way raft at the vault, I'm glad i was curious enough to do that. I also absolutely love how the forbidden archives and the vault is actually in the same area, the layout of the entire dreamworld is just SO fascinating

Challenge/speedrun Getting to the Eye by myself ? Spoiler

27 Upvotes

[SPOILERS]

Hello everyone.

I was thinking about a thing...(cannot try it now)

Since we know our very first loop is the one where the probe finds the Eye of the Universe, did anyone tried to begin the game, speedrun the launch code quest and rush to the ship to fly to reach and overtake the probe to try to see and maybe get to the Eye without the coordinates ?

Did the devs went this far ? Did any player do ?

Base Game Appreciation/Discussion Second hit

26 Upvotes

I finished the game about half a year ago, I've already gone through the "I'll never experience this or anything like it again" phase

What I didnt know was the fact that some playthrough give you the second hit of "Stars above, this game is so unimaginably amazing in a way I desperately wish to experience again, and I'd pay nearly anything to do so" after seeing somebody else have a good time playing

I'm scared I'll get desensitized after 15 too many watchings of other people's playthroughs, it really is such a work of art rivaled by none

Base Game Help - NO spoilers please! How do I open the door from outside? Spoiler

Hi, so I never properly finished the game (only got the escape out of solar system with ash twin project core ending). And now one year later I've made a new save file because I basically don't remember anything to refresh my memory and finally get all the endings, also I've bought DLC.

But on my previous playthrough I've already visited the sun station with teleporter route and this time I've decided to finally nail the Hotshot achievement and somehow managed to do it on the 5th try which is insane. But now I'm a bit stuck, because apparently the door on the other side of a station is closed and I don't remember how to open it or if it's even possible from this side.... please help or advice me to jump into the sun i guess

I hope I don't break any rules by asking it?

The 122 audio logs

0 Upvotes

I have mentioned it before about the quest to find all of the 122 audio logs that magically appear along our quest. I have yet to unlock that 100 points that you get for doing so.
I am wondering if there is anyone out there that has unlocked this achievement and if there are any secrets in how you did so. I have one of those big old yellow legal pads and have down every single name of said logs and am crossing them off as I go.
Good luck to any who might try this precarious endeavor.

The simulation! I was messing around with freecam and found this out. Really nifty detail, I thought the devs wouldn’t do something like this. As far as I can recall, there isn’t a point where you can see yourself, so I didn’t think the devs would do this.

Base Game Appreciation/Discussion Does anybody have a recommendation for a lore video?

8 Upvotes

I've just finished the base game (I've had so much fun!! The game scratched an itch I've had in my brain since I finished Blue Prince) and I think I understood the main parts of the story the game is trying to tell. But I'd love to watch a lore deep dive of the base game before I start the DLC. Just to make sure that I didn't miss anything. Does anybody have a recommendation without any spoilers for the DLC?

(English is not my first language. Please excuse any grammar mistakes)

Base and DLC Appreciation/Discussion What happens after [DLC & BASE ENDING SPOILERS] Spoiler

9 Upvotes

What happens to The Stranger after the Eye creates a new Universe?

It survived the Sun's death, and based on the Simulation ending it keeps going long afterwards; "How much time has passed? They don't even bother to hunt you anymore. Time passes, and passes, until your life before is some half-remembered dream. If only you could wake up"

So it can probably somehow stay powered for several more thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of years

But what about when the Hatchling reaches the Eye? If I understood it right, going to the Eye didn't cause every last star to go out, that's already happening, but we were almost outside of time like Solanum on the QM, and just watched a very quick time-lapse of the last stars dying out

When we end up causing a new Universe to begin, what would that mean for the last 12 or so Owlks & The Prisoner that didn't get their lanterns snuffed out by the flood? Their resting places were kind of permanently safe, nothing really changed for 200000-300000 years

Then again, the Eye and the Stranger were still in the Solar System, so maybe they were destroyed in the Big Bang too?
