Somehow I've managed to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Win10 without buying it, with no digital key... how.

MS have offered free 10 upgrades on a lot of builds...8 wasn't well received so most of us stuck with 7 for quite a while.

Not complaining! Outer Worlds on PC is so much better than console for me.

Damn near everything is better on keyboard and mouse...only just started TOW myself. All these "free" games; not helping with my inability to finish them.

How does something like The Outer Worlds compare to Borderlands??

Anyone been playing Modern Warfare, it's brilliant imo.

They are different games (while looking similar). But IMO, The Outer Worlds is, ahem, worlds better. Borderlands is a shoot 'n loot, whereas TOW is an RPG.

Okay, I’m addicted to Outer Worlds. Played non-stop all day pretty much.

It would be nice if Bethesda could liquidate itself and give Obsidian the rights back to Fallout already k thx

Very few games not better than Borderlands 3. Steaming pile of tosh

2K/Gearbox can liquidate themselves as well

Seriously though, with both those games, it's weird how "clean" everything is. Especially Fallout 4.

Fallout 3/NV had it right with a more gritty aesthetic - it's supposed to be rough/post-apocalyptic yet everything is shining, not a speck of dirt out of place.

It's jarring when you consider they are RPGs.

The Outer Worlds isn't post-apocalyptic. It's set in an alternate future or something but there's no nuclear fallout or anything. Plenty of run down and dilapidated buildings strewn around. I think the bright colour palette of The Outer Worlds was definitely a conscious aesthetic choice. People were getting very bored of the Fallout/GoW browns and greys, it's nice to see pretty garish uniforms and creatures running around for once in a cRPG.

I was just about to tell you about KMSpico if you were struggling to get a legit copy of W10. It's a grey area, but I'm pretty sure it activates it legally...

Getting Fallout x Bioshock vibes from Outer Worlds so it's a big two thumbs up from me.

At some point, around the time Windows 10 came along, Microsoft introduced a digital key which is tied to your Microsoft account and can activate multiple products if it was originally upgraded from certain versions. I don't know exactly how it works. I upgraded from 7 on day 1 and ever since then, never needed to buy a license key despite multiple new systems, only thing that stayed the same was the SSD.

The Outer Worlds is great though. Proper traditional RPG with good character building.

Really enjoying the outer worlds now. Had a few hours playing it today and proper got into it.

Running around with the science hammer, plasma Carbine, assault rifle that head shots and some unique flamethrower from the fella on the bounty hunt.

Really like the upgrade tree. Not passive like fallout 4 with small upgrades , getting a perk that significantly changes something is really helpful.

Haven't gone in a direction yet, kinda spreading the points about at the minute.
