Major Star Wars Outlaws NPC Flaws Discovered By Fan

has just recently released, and it's hitting the spot for many fans of the beloved sci-fi world. The latest game in the universe follows the adventures of Kay Vess and her axolotl-like companion Nix. does a lot of things well, but it falls short in some regards. One fan video highlights one of the issues, revealing a major problem with the game world's NPCs and enemies.

YouTuber NikTek has uploaded a video where they tested various ways to interact with the NPCs and the video's title says it all: "" Over the three minutes, NikTek shows the complete indifference of NPCs and enemies as they try very hard to provoke them.

In the video, NikTek tries to blow up several NPCs but receives no reaction from the characters or the environment. The video also shows Kay plowing her speeder right into a couple of enemies and characters with no reaction, an enemy NPC getting stuck trying to walk into a slightly-too-short door, armed enemies failing to shoot at Kay when she uses melee attacks on them, and other ways that the game's environment fails to correctly respond to players actions.

The lack of repercussions from enemies and other characters in the world seems to go against the whole point of the game. uses a Reputation system to affect how factions and characters interact with Kay, but NikTek's video shows that free-roam NPCs don't quite follow the same design principle. It's surprisingly difficult to commit a crime in the game all about outlaws, even when the crime involves literally blowing people up. One comment on the video by user sideswipebl summarizes the issue: ""

The video highlights several other non-NPC issues. Ladders seem to be Kay's biggest nemesis, foiling her attempts to pick up and carry a weapon and completely confounding a Stormtrooper into inactivity when Kay stands at the top. Kay is also shown to glitch out when she tries to run up the side of a cliff or when she gets too close to a body of water, and actually entering the water immediately fades
