Obsidian didn't add this cool feature to The Outer Worlds 2 until the game was well into development — here's how it happened

Obsidian Entertainment's third game launch this year is available now. Ahead of the launch, I recently had the chance to chat with Brandon Adler and Matthew Singh, game directors on The Outer Worlds 2.

One of the more interesting tidbits that came out of our conversation was the reveal that the Rifts players can find scattered across planets and space stations weren't originally something that could be interacted with.
