Man, we ended up setting up a wiki for all the ones from my last campaign… it’s down at the moment, but here are a few I have saved on my phone:
“My companions and I are professional adventurers”
“Some of us more professional than others…”
“For no sexy reason, what does the pope look like?”
“Also, I’m not doing terrible! But I definitely just got stabbed.”
Bard: “No, this is wholesome [Bard] moment! Anyway, how much money do you have?”
Sorcerer: “[Ranger], we are about to do some wacky-ass magic”
Ranger: “In that case, I would like to watch it from over there.”
Sorcerer: “I will not be doing it. I will be joining you.”
GM: “Divine and wild magic start pouring into and it’s like… Have you ever licked a battery?”
GM: “Divine, chaos, and dragon magic flows through you—”
Bard: “And bardic from the inspiration!”
Ranger: “Oh I can add some ranger nature!”
Sorcerer: “And I have one that can help! I cast minor illusion to make a “do not disturb” sign.”
“If I take one more step, it’ll be the furthest I’ve ever been from home…”
“You didn’t even have to step.”
“If I take one more interdimensional vortex…”
“Your left or my left? You’re an orb.”
“I am.”
“Float like a flowerpot, sting like a school bus.”
I have not yet played Return of the Obra Dinn, but it is always high up on the list when I look for games like Outer Wilds. I’m a huge fan of Outer Wilds, so maybe the recommendation can work in reverse
From what I have heard, the deduction is not as intense as in Obra Dinn, but there is very little hand holding, and the whole game has been brilliantly designed so that it is driven entirely by your natural human curiosity. Once you get through the initial “tutorial” section (probably the roughest part of the game, push through!) the whole game is wide open. See something weird orbiting a distant planet? You can go straight there and start poking around. If you follow the leads that turn up there, you will eventually even figure out what it is, and why it is there. Do that enough and you’ll eventually figure out the strange mystery of your home solar system.
Can’t recommend it highly enough, but you only get to play it without knowing the secrets once, so go in as blind as you can. It took me 20-30 hours to “solve” the main game, maybe another 20 for the DLC, which is also well worth it
