What will make your character different from everyone else? Their attributes. In The Outer Worlds, you have to start by choosing what will define your character with his attributes. These will determine many of their starting stats and make it easier. Now you can break away from these attributes as you play the game, but it will take a little time and effort. Here's what we know about Attributes and what else they have in the game.
Guide to the attributes of the outer worlds
The attributes of the game are divided into three different categories, with two different options. You have body, mind, and personality. Each of these determines how well you are going to be successful in a specific aspect of the game. For example, the Body category is going to boil down to how your character will fare in combat. There are two different aspects to focus on to determine specific things.

Sometimes being subtle and kind isn't for everyone. Some people are more aggressive than others and they need to yell and scream so everyone knows they are there. However, others do well in controlling these emotions and closing them off. Having a decent temperament can save lives.

These are all the attributes you need to know when you start the game. If you want your character to be good or bad in some way, double check their overall attributes before you jump into the game. Making a specific attribute bad or good could determine how much trouble they have with certain things at the start of the game.
The Outer Worlds will be released on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via the Epic Games Store on October 25.
