There will be at least one major difference between The Outer Worlds 2 and its predecessor: it features a third-person view. Heavily demanded since the first game, Obsidian made the decision to include the option entirely because of consistent fan feedback.
A lingering criticism of The Outer Worlds was the lack of choice between first-person and third-person. As Obsidian was behind Fallout: New Vegas, another expansive sci-fi RPG that included a toggle for the two perspectives, it was disappointing when no such inclusion came in the team’s newest original project.
