OMG you guys, let's talk about the REAL star of Star Wars Outlaws – and no, it's not some lightsaber-wielding Jedi. It's NIX, that adorable blue fluffball who's basically my dream space pup! 🤩 As someone who lives for RPG companions (Midna forever! 💅), I can confirm this Merqaal buddy is gonna steal your entire heart. Seriously, who needs the Force when you've got a loyal furball bringing you space-rocks and dead alien lizards? 😂
Watching Nix cling to Kay Vess' backpack during speeder chases? Chef's kiss. That chaotic energy is everything. He's like Stitch's rebellious cousin who traded Hawaii for Tatooine vibes 🏜️. But beyond being cuteness overload, this little dude actually puts in WORK. Remember those tedious crouch-walk missions in other games? Nix said BYE FELICIA 👋 – he'll distract stormtroopers so you can strut through enemy bases like you own the place.
Here’s why Nix slays the companion game:
-
Multitask King 👑: Need a button pressed? Distract guards? Fetch guns mid-firefight? He’s your guy. No one-trick-pony here!
-
Emotional Support Alien 🥹: When Imperial officers try to extort you, he’s literally nuzzling your leg. Mood.
-
Customization Goals ✨: You KNOW I’m gonna splurge on galactic pet beds and gourmet space-kibble at every port. Self-care includes spoiling your digital pets, okay? 💸
But real talk – devs could’ve totally Gollum’d this. Remember that traitor bird from LOTR: Gollum? 💀 Absolute trashfire. Nix though? He’s the anti-Gollum pet. Doesn’t snitch to orcs, doesn’t force moral dilemmas… just rides shotgun while you live your scoundrel fantasy. The way he seamlessly blends into stealth AND combat? chef's kiss. It’s not just “press X to pet” – he fundamentally changes how you play.
Honestly? Star Wars Outlaws gets me because it dumps Jedi drama for pure, unadulterated space cowboy chaos. And having Nix along makes every bounty hunt feel like a wild road trip with your BFF. Would I die for this pixelated creature? Abso-freaking-lutely. 🚀🔥
