Character creation in The Outer Worlds 2 lets players sculpt their commander's appearance, background, and strengths--while flaws, which shape how others perceive you, are assigned by the game as it observes your playstyle.

This idyllic destination is located on a moon called Eden, and while it may sound lovely, it's embroiled in a three-way conflict between the game's primary factions: The authoritarian Protectorate, the ruthlessly capitalist Auntie's Choice, and the scientific church that is the Order of the Ascendant. Following The Outer Worlds 2's prologue chapter, this is where players become truly acclimated with the game's new and improved systems in an open-world setting.
