But even more valuable from a gameplay perspective, is that maintaining good relations with the Talans opens the door to conversations where you will learn many things about these people and their history.
The Talans (humanoid but with long faces and talon-like hands and feet…hence the name) move naturally, and carry on in a variety of activities: talking to each other, doing pushups, practicing tai chi, delivering goods, playing music, farming, and many more.
Talans speak to Cutter in English, but to themselves in their native tongue.

These particular Talans have rescued him from the clutches of the evil Fae Rhan because they believe he is their saviour, the Ulukai.
The Talan either tells you, for example, "many steps east of here" or, if the one you're looking for is close by, he'll point to him.
The merchants are usually distinctive from other Talans because they tend to be plump and dress in silken robes and turbans, while most Talans are really skinny and dress in something simple.

Therefore the player has to visit region by region and talk to the local Shamaz, who knows where the local mon is hidden.
It is also the player's mission to persuade the Talans that he really is the Ulukai by helping them.
Quests are solved by fights; collecting, finding and bringing things; as well as by talking to different Talans.

Some of the Talans consider him a threat to their authoritarian regime, while others revere him as their savior.
Slade’s mission is to save Earth, but he needs the cooperation of the Talans to do it; he therefore undertakes dozens of quests to retrieve sacred objects, collect various plants and minerals, fight dangerous enemies, and rescue the trapped.
The Talans speak to Slade in English, and to each other in their own tongue; I was intrigued enough to study the manual’s language guide so I could understand what they were saying.

As you wander around the parallel world (Adelpha) and meet her inhabitants (the Talan) you begin to uncover a plot and characters as rich and deep as those in a good book.
You will be required to work alongside the Talans in order to complete your mission and will pick up many side quests along the way.
Controlling Cutter (aka Ulukai to the Talans) is different from most games I've played and requires a moderate learning curve.

Carrying his special nanotechnology-based miniaturized backpack (from which most of the crucial equipment has been stolen), Slade finds out that he has to save the native Talans on Adelpha from the evil Fae Rhan in order to get their help with his quest.
So while the safest general strategy is to show respect to everyone you meet, there is actually more than the usual level of planning involved in your decision about what to do next.
The vocal effects are both memorable and generally well done, and I particularly appreciate the voices of the Talans and Cutter Slade's own sarcastic wit.

 Spons' Outcast Review
These nice caring Talons turn out to be part of a resistance movement who believe that you are their messiah (happens to me everyday:) and agree to help you on your mission if you agree to help them in their fight against the evil ruler of this world.
This automatically updates when you learn a new word of the aliens language and helps you get to understand what the talans are saying when you eavesdrop on their conversations!.
Say for instance, you had to meet a certain talan who you knew had some information that you needed but you couldn't find him.

That is all well and good but these are things that should be left up to the player and not the game designer.
The non-linear style of the adventure sometimes has the Talans asking you to do things after the fact.
This was the exception rather than the rule but when it happens, your suspension of disbelief is dispelled.

 IGN: Outcast Review
After you meet about three Talans, you'll realize that all of their names are really long and hard to remember which means that when you start questioning someone about someone else, you'll often have no idea who they're talking about.
The quality of the voice acting is equally impressive with each of the different Talan boasting their very own voice (well, I'm sure there's some overlap, but not so as you'd notice).
The second big problem is the camera angle, which often rapidly readjusts itself right in the middle of combat or during a complex jumping puzzle causing you to die unnecessarily.

I've often read the stories telling of how many of the IP's are Ali Baba (thieves), and simply use the uniform to take advantage of people.

Cutter sounds a like he could be a father in one of those 50's white-bred sitcoms, with the intonation and the phrases he uses.
The Talan look and sound like the Trade Federation aliens from Star Wars Phantom Menace, right down to the bizarre accents, some of which sound like fake Asian accents.
The only difference is that the Talan from Outcast are indeed wearing traditional Chinese country garb, complete with conical reed hat.
