I liked F4 I love the exploration in Fallout and even though the institute was weak sauce I still enjoyed it.

Outer Worlds was mid I can't remember anything about it.

It runs alot better on my Steamdeck, I know that much.

Nah, the Outer Worlds was pretty bad, every character sucked too. Fallout 4 was at least a fun theme park, and far Harbor was great.

Outer Worlds has a quest where you help your engineer biromantic asexual crew mate to set up a date with a lesbian captain. Can anything in Fallout 4 top this example of PEAK WRITING? I think not.

Yep. Fallout 4 shines when you're dicking about in the open world for hours on end. Outer Worlds doesn't offer anything remotely compelling.

I'd take fallout 4 over outer worlds any day of the week.

Two different things. One is a cRPG, the other one an open world crafting sand box. Fallout 4 is obviously better at the latter because Outer Worlds doesn't have it. Same the other way around. F4 doesn't have meaningful speech skill checks for example and ridiculous dialogue choices that has nothing to do with an RPG.

Enjoyed both them greatly for different things.

Better gameplay,
Better battle system,
Better story,
More fun,
Less Buggy

Just a better overall game than Fallout 4

Both are pretty bad. But fallout wins because its fallout.

Found them both a bit weak sauce to be fair.

I prefer Fallout 4. Even if it was a stepdown from 3 and NV in some regards, the gunplay improvements and the great exploration and environmental storytelling made up for it. Outer Worlds was just boring to me.

I prefer Fallout 4. I like The Outer Worlds too, but the Outer Worlds' "world" just feel very "static" and offer very little in the form of an intractable environment. Fallout 4's "environmental story telling" is significantly better in my opinion.
