Whisperlisc Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 No, Wurt is not the last one, there will be one more. Warly didn't count as new character, he counts as character refresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange as it seems @Kuba5565 is correct. I think the main difference that sets them apart is that one is paid and the other was given free. So we are still getting another paid dlc character sometime in the future. Also in the new animations of "return of them" Warly started to appear, which means that cannonically he is now one more survivor, line Winona. Wurt, Wortox and Wormwood are more like funny support characters they found around the constant lately, and not the main protagonists of the story. If it was a tv series I'd say that each DLC character gets an episode or two helping the survivors, and even though they are allies, they are not part of the main group. Also so far all DLC characters were born in the constant, while the survivors were all from earth at some point. Not sure if this is going to be a rule or not.

Jessie_ Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 wormwood was "new" in the sense that he was added to DST less than one month after Hamlet's official release, while warly has been in the franchise for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowDigga Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Seeing that all DLC characters are non-human and Klei most likely won't have time to make another brand new character till the end of the year, my guess is that Wilbur will be 4th one. (I doubt they will port him as he is, let's just hope he won't be nerfed too badly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'll be damned if Wormwood doesn't play a lead role in RoT. After all, He's a child of the moon, which is one of the major plot points for the updates.

QuartzBeam Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 There's also the theory that Wormwood was meant to be DST-exclusive, but ended up being added to Hamlet before his original planned debut to replace a certain other character that shall go unnamed.

No, Wormwood did not replace anyone. That was Wheeler who replaced someone. Slide move? Compass for exploring? Unique gun? hmm. Wormwood had plenty of beta files, including being voiced by a short sharp flute of some kind, and this https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/8/8f/Wormwood_Voice_Removed.ogg/revision/latest?cb=20190125015212 https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/4/41/Wormwood_Idle_Animation.gif/revision/latest?cb=20190124232915 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While she may play completely different from Warbucks, she is still an explorer archetype, albeit a different one. It's extremely unlikely that she would have been added if Warbucks was still around, simply because two explorers would be repetitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike23Ua Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 No, there’s one more coming but don’t expect it anytime soon. (Please be Charlie!) Warly was considered a Rework and was given to us Free, Wormwood was paid DLC content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip. Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 This year there should be one more character (if klei counts warly for rework). But we still have another year of 2020 with probably more updates (hopefully :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you genuinely think that someone who is aware of data mined wormwood also thinks that warbucks somehow had a everything I mentioned before being removed? I dont think its a coincidence that Warbucks, who required a rework, who was originally titled the "gentleman hunter", pictured with a gun, who is also an archeologist and explorer, ended up being replaced with a brand new character who is an explorer ans also comes with their own unique gun. The early access trailer animation is a much weaker theory. Just reskin the pewomatic to a reskin of the bluderbuss and give all of Wheelers items and Perks to Warbucks and it starts to make a lot more sense. Why were there datamined files for Wormwood and Wilba but not Wheeler? Wheeler seemingly came our of no where, soon as Klei had to replace the empty hole of Warbucks with something else. Wormwood is a very well thought out character that clearly went through a long iterative process. Wheeler, not so much. Or at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not how DLC characters work though- if Wilbur is to be the 4th DLC character he'll stay mostly same as he is on Shipwrecked. Aside from being non-human, what sets apart Wormwood from Warly as a DLC rather than a rework character is how he saw almost no changes whereas Warly was thoroughly reworked like Winona and Willow that came before him.honestly I'd like to see Walani and Wilbur in DST through such reworks. 4 hours ago, maciu67 said: I think that Pig character suits to DST even more than before Wurt update. Previously I had absolutely zero desire to see Wilba on DST but Wurt's addition weirldy hyped me out, I'd love to see a rivalry between Wurt and Wilba now, through a rework.

Huh, turns out that if you intentionally misinterpret someone's question and then phrase it in a way that sounds stupid, it sounds pretty stupid! Let me try again to write a reply up to your high standards: Why would Warbucks have a gun like the pewmatic? It would make sense for Warbucks to have a gun, yes, but it would just be a regular gun designed for killing animals. Warbucks is implied to be a wealthy man and openly thinks very highly of himself, to the point where he considers most others to be below him, and refers to any other race as "savage" or "brutes." So why would he have a gun designed for scavenging ammo in survival situations? He wouldn't, he would just have a regular gun. And then he would die by being impaled by a rhinoceros. Similarly, why would Warbucks, a temple explorer, have a compass designed for pointing the way to more resources in a survival situation? Again, Warbucks is a wealthy man who thinks highly of himself, so why would he carry around a navigadget, dump himself into unknown new lands, and then hope he can find something valuable to put into said navigadget and then hope it points to treasure? Really, that does not sound in-character to me at all. I feel like he would be going in with an idea of what he's looking for, rather than wandering around a jungle and hoping he finds something valuable which then points to something else valuable. If you have an actual response this time, I'd love to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
