The protagonist will take on dangerous missions and fight arcane villains as they meet other characters who help shape the game’s gritty criminal underworld.
Thankfully, Vess doesn’t need to face theStar Wars Outlaws' universe alone, as she is accompanied by the adorable salamander-like creature Nix, who serves asKay’s pet and companionand can help her out in times of trouble. Unfortunately, due to a frustrating bug found by Reddit user WRSA, even Vess' loyal buddy couldn’t manage to come to her rescue this time. In a recent post, WRSA showcased a clip of Kay Vess trying to travel up the side of a mountain on her speeder bike. As she reached the top, the game experienced a bug that not only saw the character sliding down the ridge but also her pet Nix disappearing into the ground before popping out again as Vess finally reached the bottom.
