My thoughts in Wilson rework.

[Pomato]

I expressed my thoughts in a comment section, but decided to also post it as a new topic and see your thoughts on this.

 

As a Wilson main myself, I am a sad witness to how my boi has been overshadowed by almost everyone after their reworks.

Willow is fierier, Wigfrid is meaner, Wickerbottom is smarter and so on.

But Wilson only has a beard. 

I hearby suggest we should buff the major aspect of Wilson, the gentleman scientist:

 

HIS EXCLUSIVE SCIENCE TAB.

Wilson rework can have following changes:

Wilson's chemistry knowledge lets him craft beard hair growth potion, instantly grows a beard.

He can also scientifically synthesize hair gel, hardening his beard into a damage resisting armor.

With his scientific knowledge he can also weave a beard whip for combat, beard mast and boat kit for sailing, gem+marble+moon+thulecite razors for extra beard hair and sanity gain after shaving.

He can fortify a meat effigy with even more beard to make the character have a better health condition when resurrected.

Years in the constant has taught Wilson more than cooking meatballs. Now with wilderness culinary experience he can cook exclusive beard dishes:

Hair stuffed lunch wrap; A filling meal which reduces sanity but greatly reduces hunger drain.

Beard Hair spaghetti; Spaghetti made entirely of beard that decreases your sanity and health but makes your beard grows into a super long state where it covers your entire head and body so it pairs well with his hair gel to make Wilson a walking tank.

Beard oatmeal; to treat your beefalo friend by filling its giant stomach with beard!

 

 

Forget everything I just said. 

I am honestly surprised when I heard Wilson will be getting an update, my biggest fear is that this might push him away from the only role in this entire game:

A basic character to introduce beginner players into the constant, and for experienced players to get the classic Don't starve vibe.

I question if everyone needs to be as buffed and meta like Wigfrid, Wanda in DST. I believe we already have a wide variety of gods anyway.

If you want to fight, play as Wolfgang. if you want to support your ungrateful team and getting yelled at, play as Warly. If you don't want to play, then choose Wendy.

So...personally, my somewhat selfish wishlist for Wilson's update would be...

Exclusive emotes, more skins and idle animations, or something like that.

Anything cosmetic to express Wilson's personality would make Wilson simps like me to love him even more.

 

(Besides, Wilson in canonic storyline is already pretty remarkable. Did you know he once triumphed over the amazing Maxwell and became the new Nightmare king?

And he was the inventor of most of the seafaring science tab and shared them with all of the survivors? And how only Wilson noted something is off with Waxwell and escaped Charlie's manipulative game?)

I look forward to Wilson's animation more than anything, he definitely has a decisive influence on the future lore, and the possible ending in this game.
