The Outer Worlds 2 is the latest installment from Obsidian Entertainment, and the goofy Fallout-esque game will be a thrill for players.
Now, for those diving into the game, it'll be good to know what the revamped 'Flaws' system is, alongside which ones to pick.
Here's what we know.
The Outer Worlds 2: All Flaws and Which Ones To Pick
Many players know the name Obsidian Entertainment, as they were famously the studio that developed Fallout New Vegas, a classic amongst fans.
Now, catapulting off the success they endured with the first Outer Worlds, the second one is reminiscing on some aspects, including Flaws.
Flaws are a mechanic that will affect your player over time, and, opposite to Perks, they're designed to hinder some aspects of your gameplay in various ways.
