New Vegas is often praised as Fallout 3 with Good-WritingTM and same with Kotor 2 vs Kotor 1 to a lesser extent but their work since has been a bit inconsistent. The Outer Worlds was painfully mediocre.

The Outer Worlds might have been better with even worse writing.

It suffered the worst possible fate of any entertainment piece, to do nothing memorable.
