![]() ![]() ![]() Peril on Gorgon was a good DLC for all intents and purposes, it just needed a little bit of fine-tuning to make it as close to perfect as possible. However, it still remains to be seen whether or not potential new creatures could stray too far from the already existing enemies players have to fight. In Greek mythology, Typhon is the father of all monsters, which obviously gives the developer a lot of opportunities to introduce new creatures that players could face off against. Murder on Eridanos could definitely introduce players to new enemies if it decides to include the planet Typhon in the DLC. Though these enemies were tougher, they were just jazzed up versions of already existing creatures that players had encountered in The Outer Worlds base game. The only almost-exception to this was Gorgon, which had genetically modified versions of canids, raptidons, mantisaurs, and primals. ![]() The DLC introduced new types of marauders that players had to fight, but otherwise the enemies on Gorgon (or Olympus or the back bays of Groundbreaker) were pretty much already found in-game. Murder on Eridanos can make up for this, but it will probably also have new science weapons given that Hephaestus is the home of the Hephaestus Mining Company, creator of the Mandibular Rearranger.Įnemies were also a hit-or-miss for Peril on Gorgon as well. However, it had no new “normal” weapons, which disappointed a lot of fans. To its credit, Peril on Gorgon added three new science weapons, which made sense with the theme of an abandoned science facility investigation. New weapons is where Peril on Gorgon actually dropped the ball a bit, with players wanting more than they received. ![]() Eridanos might take a page from Olympus’ book and have stations in the planet’s orbit based on its description referencing distillation plants, while Hephaestus was claimed by the mining company but could produce more than it initially seems. The map of Typhon says that it “offers nothing to offer the Halcyon Colony,” but if players know anything from Peril on Gorgon, that description could very well be a corporate cover up. Given some of the previous uses of Greek mythology in The Outer Worlds base game, it’s possible these planets will also function in a way similar to their Greek namesakes. These planets are ripe for storytelling for a variety of reasons. So, Eridanos is probably going to be unlocked for players, given the title of the DLC, but there’s a good chance planets like Hepaestus and Typhon become accessible as the story progresses as well. There’s not much known beyond that, but players can look forward to gaining access to most of, if not all, of the previously locked planets still on Halcyon’s map. ![]()
