The Outer Worlds - BEST BUILD - The Captain

[@grahamking1588]

Here's a written summary starting from after character creation Skills Levels 2 & 3 Tech & Dialog to 22 first Leadership until 50 then Inspiration 60 By level 7 22 base in Dialog, Stealth & Tech 50 Determination 60 Inspiration Then get Dialog, Tech, Stealth to 50, priority to Dialog & Stealth (for persuade, hacking, & lock picking) Then start bringing Dialog, Tech & Stealth to 60 to get effective levels to 100 No need to invest in combat skills Persuade usually covers most speech checks, if not, Intimidate 95 or Lie 65 usually does the job No need to invest further in these skills especially with later game gear which will boost dialog skills further Consider investing in Science to reduce tinkering costs Consider Determination 60 to get effective value of 70-80 Perks Top priorities: Tier 1: Deadly Demonstrations Tier 3: Armor master (first perk you should get at level 22 or earlier if you’ve taken flaws) Other priorities: Companion based perks: Precision, Tag team For convenience: Walk & sprit speed Carry weight Time dilation Vendor price Don’t Go Dyin’ on Me! (Can use inhaler to revive companion during battle (15 min cool down)) Flaws Only consider Drug Addiction (easy to fix with Adreno, inhaler) and phobia flaws of less common creatures like primals Armor Gear that boosts skills needed at the time (light or medium armors) Early game: Protecting clothing with safety harness (+5 Dialog) modded with Silver Tongue (+5 Dialog, +10 leadership) A Nice Hat (find in OSI Church in Stella Bay Ruins) (+5 leadership, +7 Persuade) Late game: Camara (sp?) (+10 dialog, damage 53) (quest in Bizantium (sp?)

All started when the gravedigger wanted me to handle his debts. Everyone I talk to was insane. There’s this one guy who wanted me to deal with some kind of Mythical robot uprising but he was clearly in sane so I killed him when I went into town the barber wouldn’t pay me and well naturally it ended and violence. The third guy had the plague so naturally he had to go. And the fourth girl in the factory What is the only one I initially spared simply because they were too many guards at the time but that quickly changed.

[@Ritchian]

What you all outlined here is sort of how I ended up playing my first run. I called my character the exasperated mediator. I didn't invest in leadership as much as you all did, opting for guns. By the end, her ethos was, "You idiots WILL get along and fix this colony or by god, I will start shooting everyone with my tricked out sniper rifle until you change your minds." I tended to use Ellie and Parvati as my default companions. Yeah, I know there were better options instead of Ellie from a min-max skill up perspective, but I liked running around with a hardened cynic and a naive optimist to keep my character centered.

Great build! Not sure I'm a fan of having my companions fight my battles for me, but if one is mainly interested in the story and roleplaying, I can see this as a worthwhile build. If I were going to min-max this build, I would have Nyoka and Vicar Max as my companions. Give Nyoka a good machine gun with good mods, and give Vicar Max a science weapon such as the Shrink Ray.

The way it seams they built this game is to allow the casual market to be able to make this style of character were they don't feel like they're missing out bcos they invested into certain areas.

This build works really well on supernova, but you should invest in one combat skill preferably a ranged one so you can support your companions. It’s actually a lot of fun because it makes you work hard to keep your companions alive. You know, like what a real captain would do, instead of throwing them to the wolves :). Also, TTD really comes in handy.

+ Great video. This is very close to the build I used to finished the game on release. I personally went with Vic and Felix /// Felix and Nyoka /// or Vic and Nyoka for my companions with the unique tact shotgun on Vic and my highest DPS LMGs for the other two. I took all the comp ability reset perk on my character and my companions. As for as my weapon, I thought the best weapons were the Science weapons. All 3 ranged Science weapons were absolutely amazing and made my team an amazing squad. If you hold down the 5th science weapon on an enemy, you can basically perma CC the enemy while your team goes to town. The amazing dialogue and having access to everything quality of life while your companions earn their keep was an amazing fun way to play.

[@Tentonaxe]

For those curious... this build rocks supernova, just gotta be cognisant of where you place your followers before a fight. Place them behind cover where they cover each other and draw enemies in. And, of course, keep them well equipped... though that should go without saying.

[@Neonmirrorblack]

This is funny. Currently took a short break from my Supernova NO RELOAD (if I die, then game over and if a companion dies, they will stay dead) and this popped up on my recommendations. This is pretty similar to the build I came up with on my own after already finishing it on Hard. I did not put a point into every stat though, because INT/PER is just too damn good. Science is the best skill all around and having a higher INT allows you to get it up faster and your own combat skills won't be horribly lacking even if you don't even go beyond 20 in any gun skill. What is the point of having "balanced" skills, where you might save four skill points if you don't even care about some of those skills anyway? And STR? That's a complete waste in a build like this. You actually squander skill points when you raise STR if your companions are doing most of the work anyway. I might try doing this build on another playthrough, but it just seems like you would be very behind for lockpicking and science early game, and that's where they matter the most. Also, your companions are getting slaughtered, and it looked like you only put it on Normal difficulty...

I have 3 awesome Build inspiration concepts for you: DOOM Slayer, The Predator (That ugly MOFO) and The Terminator. Face and demeanor suggestions: DOOM Slayer: Never speaks? (low intelligence or charm?) , Serious face, few scars, Blond hair, Dark Blue eyes, commanding face, not a big talker, yet has a comanding presence, independent . The Predator : Heavily resembles his alien self, Bright green eyes,Olive toned skin (if possible), Dreadlocks, Natural unsettling grin (seems permenant like a Joker), despite his scary Visage he is sane and calculating, patient and good at alternating between stealth and frontal, good at intimidation, very low charm, very intelligent, a natural hunter, a loner. The Terminator: Speaks to the point, Man of action (less words) , stone face, indomitable, relentless, will outlast and out gun anyone, all the while not being in a hurry anywhere, man on a mission, companions aren't necessary (keep as needed) .

[@DevilVelocity]

Did the same thing with the creation, but since i noticed there is a 2 handed science hammer that melee power attack does area damage and is really overpowered with putting points into science, which also makes you not need to put points into ranged, defense or leadership but into important stuff and you only need to put melee up to 20 to use the power attack, so you can focus far more points into dialog, stealth and tech. Basically get perks helpful with science and then get the ones you want, same companions, for skill buffs plus max has science damage bonus, definitely would suggest giving that a go.

[@jjnelson1999]

I just got the game and was playing a sneak/dialogue character. It was fun messing with the npcs, but now that im getting companions i want an army.

[@KingThor128]

Going below avg str/dex, very high int/cha, high per and average temp is much better for skills you want here. Will have 20 lockpick and 40 hack right out of the gate, 25 Long Guns for a nice base, and 25 Persuasion to nicely benefit from Parvatis boost. and still no problem bumping inspiration to 60 before leaving Emerald Vale. The all Good attributes balance is just bad. You're balancing stuff at 12 that you dont ever use, and dont use well anyways. The reduced carry weight and durability is offset by perks you'll want anyways.

[@louisdellalucca8969]

YES! We're now getting Fudgemuppet Build goodness!!! Your Fallout and Skyrim builds are awesome. I'm hoping we get a Malcolm Reynolds build soon.

[@funnyblog100]

I went with max strength and temperament at the start. Okay then dumped points into melee and diologue. This gave me a really high lie and intimidation. It also gave me decent engineering and medical. So I modified heavy armor and picks spud sous chef for aptitude giving me an extra point in one handed melee. Also the strength gave me a high heavy weapons skill. Meaning I have wolverines healing factor from max temperament, have enough engineering to constantly repair and modify my gear. So two handed melee plus plasma plus heavy armor that I can tinker and modify. This means I can walk through bullets with toughened heavy armor and wack someone so hard they will explode. Also plasma mods mean they fucking disintegrate if I use a tossball stick even on the highest difficulty I can practically one shot everything! Even if I don’t one shot every marauder Sam will spray them with acid or I use that gravity gun science weapon and explode them with my prismatic hammer before they touch the ground. That high lie and intimidate allows me to bluff persuade or threaten my way past any guard and literally walk through the front door and out using the holographic shroud and just bluff my way past everyone if it fails. High medical and engineering means I could just pass every other dialogue check as well. I literally walk through the front doors of enemy camps without using stealth at all.

[@jonunciate7018]

The companion bonuses were so high I didn't even bring lockpick past 30 and still easily got it past 100 with pavarti and Felix. Science I ended up maxing first. Totally worth it. Shrink Ray was a funny support weapon early game.

[@neosildrake]

My best build I have made is a low stat strength, dexterity and intelligence and a very high in Perception, Charisma and Temperament. Any slack my character has, is balanced out by perks and companions. This is a very viable build on Spacer's Choice Edition because of the level cap raised to 99. No longer do you have to juggle everything so tightly. On my first playthrough in the Standard Edition with level cap of 30, I did chose the balanced approach of 1 poing in everything.

Yeah, I noticed the same thing. I’ve only seen one very high intelligence check and I think it only would’ve opened up some unique dialogue.

From 11 hours in, I can say that extreme min/max buffs/options have been minimum in the game. Yet, I felt I was missing out because I couldn’t hack 1/3 of the containers due to lack of skill in stealth, or even not being allowed to buy shunts or lock picks from vending machines. I was able to pass high engineering, speech, and medical checks and it felt quite nice to actually be able to role play for real instead of how FO4 was.

What rifle is that and where do you find it? Ive seen them in a few reviews but not the rifle itself. Only people using them in the vids.
