Auth Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Klei, I... I don't know where to start. The latest DLC character is truly someone who has completely shocked me to my core, even more than the announcement of Wanda did, so much so that I couldn't just simply make a reply to the post whenever it came out, but I had to make my own. Where do I begin? So, firstly, while their stats aren't much to marvel at, those new tools they come with- Absolutely amazing. Their functionality is something I don't think the game has seen before, and actually looks quite similar to the character I suggested a while back, albeit in a different way- Which, I must say, is genius! The resources to craft new ones are extremely rare, but my god, that functionality is unbelievable. Being able to examine out-of-place objects to yield additional rare rewards brings a whole new layer to exploration, where players are rewarded for carefully checking items around them. I mean, trinkets and gold isn't too extreme, but it's really nice to be able to have something to do while exploring your world, and it coming with such a nice benefit is wonderful. I often go through gold extremely quickly, as my main use of it is giving it to pigs. And as for their other tool- Being able to carefully break apart stones to get more resources for them is something I think the game long since needed, as noted from the character I suggested a while back. It doesn't sound very nice to use on the ears though, so the only thing keeping me from calling this character perfect really is that. The fact that other characters use more durability than they do using the tools is kind of neat, but I think maybe just keep the tools exclusive to them. Makes them feel more special! But anyways, I think the characterization is amazing, yet somehow familiar, which, to me, just makes it all the more incredible. A dignified character besides Maxwell, who gains sanity from rich and rare materials- A really interesting way to say that he was someone who liked their wealth before the constant, which, I must say, as a writer, I LOVE little details like that, where a few lines and details can go a long way to paint a bigger picture of who a character is. And the fact they lose sanity from eating raw foods is kind of funny, although a little repetitive feeling somehow... Lastly though, Their art, while really awesome looking, brings forward a few questions. Like, to me, they just look like they'd be kind of frail, even more than Maxwell, really... I just can't shake the feeling. And either the character isn't finished yet, the art was done strangely, or there's more coming, because I'm not quite sure why they hold a blunderbuss in their portrait if they don't start with one. Just an odd note, but I suppose Wilson is there holding that duck, and doesn't start with one, so... Maybe I'm just being silly. Either way, I haven't really read any of their quotes yet, so I hope there's nothing in there to really ruin the experience of this new character for me. Until then, I think this character was extremely well made, and deserving of the highest praise I could give. I just had to buy their deluxe wardrobe because I need more of them in my life. Thank you, Klei, for making this all possible.

CaptainChaotica Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Hmmm...I notice in the original post, one of the references to "the character I made up before" is actually a Youtube link... There's no way in Maxwell's green Constant I'm clicking an unknown one of THOSE on April 1st, but lemme guess...is this new DLC character perhaps the type who would, say, never give you up, let you down, run around, or desert you? ...Notorious Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/138784-a-huge-thank-you-to-klei-entertainment-for-the-newest-dlc-character/#findComment-1554375 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for made-up new characters, anybody remember when someone used that "Talk to Transformer" thing, seeded it with bits of actual update text, and got hilarious imaginary DST updates? My favourite was the one where we got a new character named "Witherbloom", an evil fairy who will "steal your farm". XD Spoiler And then of course, because I'm me and I knew an evil-fairy dollmaker, I had to make her visual: (Isn't that like, perfect for somebody named Witherbloom? Dead ripped wilting flowers and leaves.) And then because I also could, I made her Triumphant (aka FREAKING BADASS) ..and Roseate costumes. (she's even sitting on a Rafflesia aka "Glommer Flower", lol.) Note that she does have the Don't-Starve-Girl creepy blank staring eyes, too. Heh ...and even though that was years ago, I STILL have those because there doesn't seem to be any way to delete old pictures. : P (actually I'm kinda glad they're still here. They turned out cool, even if it's for a character that never was and never will be.) ...Notorious Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/138784-a-huge-thank-you-to-klei-entertainment-for-the-newest-dlc-character/#findComment-1554537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
