If they took to heart the failings of the first one (too linear, tiny maps, severe lack of customization options), might be worth picking it up.
Should mention both reviews I've watched/read mentioned the first act is a slog but after that, it sounds like exactly the type of open world game that I actually like, where you make political decisions that have a huge impact on the world around you (I generally do not like open world games anymore).
Edit: One really silly fun feature they added for Outer Worlds 2 is the idea of character "flaws". For example, if you skip over the dialog too much, your character develops a flaw where you have a very short time limit to select what you want to say during conversations before the game randomly selects a line for you. Or another example is that if you pickpocket/steal too often, you develop the "klepto" flaw where your character will automatically steal things sometimes even in inopportune moments.
