They actually did it. The game director for The Outer Worlds 2 has dropped a nuclear bomb on the community: RESPECS ARE BANNED. You heard that right. One wrong skill point, one build that doesn't vibe, one broken perk, and your entire playthrough is toast. Players are absolutely losing their minds, and for good reason! The forums on Avonetics are exploding with gamers furious that they'll be forced to follow rigid online guides or risk sinking dozens of hours into a character they hate. Forget experimentation, forget flexibility—the devs want you to COMMIT, for better or worse. Their justification? 'Immersion' and 'meaningful choices.' They claim this boosts replayability. But let's be real: is it truly replayability if you're just re-rolling to fix a busted stat allocation? Or is compelling replayability driven by deep narrative choices and branching quests? The community overwhelmingly screams for the latter! With the modern trend of games launching with buggy skills and vague descriptions, locking players into permanent choices isn't 'hardcore,' it's a recipe for rage-quitting disaster. We’re breaking down the entire controversial decision, the developer's questionable logic, and the fan backlash that could define The Outer Worlds 2's legacy.
