Character Creation in The Outer Worlds occurs at the beginning of the game. Players will be able to change a variety of things about their character, though they will rarely be able to see him/her, as there is no third-person option. The player character is also silent, but NPC dialogue is fully acted in English.

  • You can re-spec your character once you obtain your Starship, the Unreliable.
  • You will not be able to re-spec Attributes, so pick wisely. We recommend checking out our Builds.

      Yeah, so I somehow ended up with blue hair and pink beard. The beard looked black in character creation *sigh... Thank you obsidian for not letting me fix it without restarting the game... Real great!

        Is there a way to change your race to a robot? I saw a few images on google that had some robotic-like characters.

          I would like to mention after listening to a you tube from dev team about the game, I know a lot of people would like a lot of things changed/ added/ removed, but i think the one thing a lot would agree on is in the character cosmetic creation more lighting would be great, forgive us for wanting to see the actual colour of hair n eye colour just a tad more lighting would be good -- "Jade River " --

            You can see your character with the idle camera, as well as in the menu. Personally i never cared about a third person camera but i understand the uproar somewhat. The way i see it is i dont constantly look at myself in the mirror but i know if i look good or not, and i think the same thing goes for my player character in roleplaying games

              That's too bad! In New Vegas, we could switch back and forth; it was nice to see your character. Also, having a voice adds a lot.

                I don't even use third person for combat, I do it to look at how nice my player character looks in the outfit I stuff them in, this is really the only thing I'm bummed about in regards to this game and I hope they decide to add it in
