Star Wars Outlaws vil forsøge at give os et dybere billede af galaksens underverden, fordi du skal blandt andet arbejde for de centrale karteller, alt sammen i et forsøg på at undslippe gæld og trusler mod dit liv.
Dermed bliver det en afgørende mekanik at vedligeholde et godt ry, og et godt forhold med de diverse karteller, men hvad hvis du ikke formår at gøre det? I et nyligt interview med Game Informer fortæller instruktør Julian Gerighty, at de faktisk vil sende dusørjægere på nakken af dig, hvis du ikke opretholder en god relation.
"One of the key things of being a scoundrel, an outlaw, is that you live and die by your reputation with the syndicates. You'll be able to pick up jobs for the syndicates, and some of those jobs will propose to rip off another syndicate, or help with a smuggling route, that type of thing. And you can choose to do those for the syndicate, or maybe keep a little for yourself, and every single decision in those missions will affect your reputation with all of the syndicates. So it really is about spinning plates and making sure that you're not in too bad stead with any one of them, because if you do get in a bad reputation with them, they'll send assassins after you, and that you really don't want."
Interessant nok er der også en anderledes dynamik med disse karteller, eftersom du kan vælge, som en slags kulmination, at røve deres mest værdifulde ejendele:
"We have faction territories for all of the different syndicates that contain not just distractions, contracts, vendors, but also a vault in the center. The vault is something that contains precious materials or precious objects, but you'll only be able to steal from them, so you'll only be able to break into it. No matter how good your Reputation is, you'll never be able to get into the vault without breaking in."
