Wardin25 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 if i remember correctly at first it was a coincidence but then they went with it also, maxwell starts with m but his real name is william so it checks out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dextops Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 because its funny but i think the real reason from what i've heard is that it was a coincidence at first and they just decided to go with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kur0u Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Something that I thought a couple of weeks ago is how when Maxwell chose to bring people to the constant he made everyone from skeletons, he literally created their bodies from scratch (Reason why even hair have bones). It's not your real body, you're only a soul (Or a ghost) controlling a man made body. You're in charge of a double of your original self, a double you. W.

Everything changed after Maxwell fell from power, I guess Klei just decided to go a different route. I believe Maxwell gave people he brought to the constant a new body he made himself to endure his trials. Who knows if he killed everyone during that time. You can literally die and resurrect many times by haunting touching stones, your body still stays in place where you died. It makes no sense to have only one body. Everyone is just a ghost controlling meat and bone entities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no sense to have only one body. Everyone is just a ghost controlling meat and bone entities. death in the constant is shown to work differently from where everyone came from. they moreso linger on rather then truly die telltale hearts are described as tethering a ghost to the living plane. in its animation, its shown that the ghost is being formed into flesh i don't think i understand the part about maxwell creating everyones' bodies. the only case i can even think of another created body is a meat effigy, but everyone can make those and they all resemble wilson (other characters even comment about this-- wx, webber, and woodlegs in solo dont starve are confused about who the effigy looks like, but in together, they all recognize it as wilson). i don't doubt you on the "multiple bodies" thing. i just dont think maxwell specifically created anything for them (you think there would be more comments about that, no?). to me, it's more like they were dragged in as they were in the real world, likely died a few times, and stayed around as something more akin to the concept of a soul. constant rules, as i mentioned before, are different from the real world's. souls aren't a new concept in general.

kilobit Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Do you think Maxwell or anyone else would realize that If I were sucked into this weird world and me along with literally other person had a name starting with W I'd be creeped out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArubaroBeefalo Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 was a coincidence when DS was being made Is a funny way to name character but i hope it never get related to the lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheggf Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Because W stands for winning, which is what you're supposed to do. If all their names started with L the game'd be a lot harder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowlVoid Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Only begs the question, when will Wario join the cast? There are onions in the game so he is a perfect fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Variant Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 As some others have said, it was just a funny coincidence the devs worked up when designing the characters early on in DS' life. They thought it was funny and rolled with it. I find it rather charming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
