poll A Poll About Wilson's Rework

[Pruinae]

Just a random idea:

Wilson's beard has more stages, it could have like 2+ stages (stage 4 in 30 days, so middle of first winter and stage 5 in 60 days, so middle of first summer for example) the more grown the beard is, the better it is in the winter and the worse it is in the summer. Having a beard in the highest stage could give him some special ability such as flying like the Ice King from Adventure time (lol) or having the green amulet effect when crafting things such as rope. I think it would reward you for playing as Wilson for long periods of time, help new players a little bit and not really give him a disadvantage (except not being able to switch off and receiving a more severe death which I don't really consider as being disadvantages).

Alright, wasn't expecting this amount of comments.

 

I decided to not have him stay the same because i think he's lacking, his beard hairs can be obtained easily if you know what to do and you can craft warm clothes to stay alive in winter. Stuff that other characters can do.

 

I might add more options and then let everyone change their choices, anyone got suggestions? I really don't think he should stay the same but if everyone wants it i might as well add it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love Wilson's status as a character with no downsides and dearly hope he can stay that way. I feel like giving him a couple more minor but handy perks would be the best way to make him a decent character.

I feel he's due for some perks simply because the bar for usefulness has been raised significantly by the recent character reworks/releases. He should mainly be a 'neutral' character, but...he needs something.

I'd like to see him follow the old 'I'll conquer it all with the power of my MIND!' quote a little more. Like, using his intellect to find better solutions to the constant problems of the constant. Not turning everything into easy mode, but...little contraptions, elixirs, ect that help just a bit, in every part of gameplay.

As far as I know, Wilson has a medical education, and almost every survivor has some kind of physical or mental anomaly. For a scientist like Wilson, this is a real goldmine. Wilson, examining the survivors with the help of his unique medical tool, will be able to obtain prescriptions of medicines for curing and / or neutralizing the negative aspects of the character studied. Perhaps the resulting prescription drugs will be useful for other characters. With such processing, Wilson will not change by itself, but will become a powerful buffer for the team.

he's decent for a beginner character, and i still main him bc he has better access to insulation in winter, lmao.

would be kinda nice if he got a couple of perks, tho.

He also has the easiest access to beard hair w/ which to craft a Meat Effigy, which can turn a failure around.

Meat effigies are useful in DS, but in DST they'll get attuned, hammered or burned down by other players for sure! And if you use it, you'll loose all your items in case of if a newcomer walks by. Meat Effigies are waste of ressources in DST, it's safer to keep a Life Giving Amulet in your pockets than having a meat effigy.

I want to see Wilson with his potions all the time.
