Which side do you think the survivors will take?


Recommended Posts

I'm wondering, because other people were talking team survivor, if Wortox and Woodie would be on team survivor. Wortox would probably think this civil war/choosing sides thing is foolish. Woodie has a dark curse that is also triggered with the moon and I'm guessing he would also think it's not logical. Maybe Wes would be in there too because he wants to help everyone out. At least that's what I think. I could see Wicker Bottom on team Lunar though, because of all of the knowledge going on over there.

Also I love your idea of Winona in shadow because she would want to see Charlie and maybe try to save her. I also like the idea of Maxwell and Wilson having a rivalry sort of thing. They aren't necessarily the leaders but they'd be out to get each other constantly. Obviously in game you can choose whoever to be on whatever side but I do wonder if they will have canon teams for the characters.

I don't think Wigfrid would take the side of the shadows. She's shown a lot of praise for Mani(The Norse god of the Moon, who she perceives Alter to be instead). In some quotes she associates the shadows and darkness with Loki who she seems to dislike from what I can interpret.

Why Warly for Lunar? Curious what lead you to that pick.

Willow I would personally put on Team Lunar. She's always been fighting against the shadows since the beginning, that's been Bernies purpose. I can see her becoming an ultimate shadow fighting force with a lunar infused bernie on her side.

Woodie's interesting, on one hand he could go team lunar to encourage his wereform/become more powerful. The moons growing prescence is how he got the two extra wereforms at the end of the day. On the other hand he could go team shadow if he wants to suppress his wereform. Though considering the existence of the Daywalker perhaps lycanthropy would still occur with the powers of the shadows.

Wortox, I actually think it'd be much more interesting if he just wanted to stay out of the way. I can't see him wanting getting in the midst of any of this.

Wickerbottom I think mostly leads towards shadow with her magics, though she's got small hints of lunar interest.

The rest. Yeah I can't think of anything either.

The reason why Warly is in the constant is because he became desperate to try and help her grandmother suffering from dementia.

It doesn't seem like Maxwell really honored his end of the deal and we have this quote for the completed Celestial Altar on the island is this: "You know how to get me home to maman?"

If anything, it seems like he'd want to go back to his grandmother rather than stay in the constant at this point.

As for Willow, I put her on Team Shadow cause of what happened at the end of Wickerbottom's short where she seems to already be in cahoots with the shadows.

Wurt would be on the lunar side because of the daywalker. If the nightmare side has pigs on it then she’d stay far away from that.

Incorrect, Wurt would be on the SHADOW Side because it is Canon that Hamlet takes place in the skies above DST and Thus are closer to the Moon, which made the pigs intelligent enough to build their entire Hamlet civilization.

Pigs are also Cursed by the Moon to become Werepigs on a Full moon or Gargoyle Pigs?? In Hamlet..

if the moon is giving the pigs all their intelligence & powers.. Moon is on Filthy pigs side.

it's unlikely that WX will support the Lunar side due to their past relationship with Wagstaff. Additionally, WX considers the clockworks as peers and probably will side with them. Wortox is not trapped in the Constant and will likely choose the more fun option, but based on his comments about the Ruin, he may favor the Shadow. On the other hand, Wes is likely to be on the Lunar team regardless of his choices, as Maxwell hates him. As for Webber, he would probably align with the Shadow side to stay with the spiders and avoid being hunted if he were to leave the Constant.

I was thinking of making this, but every time it just seems silly to take a side in a cosmic horror war where both sides are hostile, and choosing a side means killing THAT side preferentially for scrap material while both maintain hostility.

 

Sucker for Love makes more sense…

 

To me:

Shadow:

Maxwell (duh), Wendy (I bet Charlie can offer something for Abigail), WX78 (simply for against Wagstaff), Winona (for her sister), Wickerbottom, Wolfgang (their powers are closely related to shadow)

 

Lunar:

Wormwood (duh), Woodie (power related to moon phase), Wilson (befriended Wagstaff), Wigfrid (she seems to prefer moon god), Willow, Wanda (they both are hunted by shadow, despite related tp shadow)

 

Other:

Wortox, Wurt,Webber (natives)

Walter Warly (their stories and personalities are not expanded), Wes (nobody wants him)

Wx likes the Moon a lot more than they like, really anything else in the game.

They're very interested in the power of the Moon. And besides, "fighting for the Moon" doesn't necessarily mean fighting for Wagstaff. Wagstaff's trying to harvest Alter's energy for his own use! That's the point of Alter sending down their guardian to smash up his siphonator.

Praise be to the one lunar lord, :D

My additions:
Wortox - team lunar, he wants to find a cure for the "curse"
Wicker - team lunar, she is all about knowledge, and lunar has enlightenment theme
Wolfgang - team lunar, he hates shadows and dark
Wigfrid - team lunar, she likes being in the spotlight
Woodie - team lunar, as is an outdoors person, and his curse is lunar related, he will want to get to the end of it

My teams:

Shadow:

Maxwell - because yes

Wes - because why not

Wendy - suits the mournful girl obsessed with death

Webber - his spider part might suggest this team

Wanda - I doubt she'd want to give up her power

 

Lunar:

Wilson - has already helped Wagstaff

Willow - hates darkness (and also has a BODYGUARD against  it)

Wolfgang - hopefully not afraid of the light

WX-78 - "MOONBASE. AAAAA. MOONBASE!"

Woodie - finally accepted his curse

Wigfrid - I'll trust Hornete on this one

Winona - looking for a way to counteract Charlie's corruption

Warly - Idk, he just feels like a lunatic

Wormwood - definitely a lunatic

 

Uncertain:

Wickerbotton - has shown interest in both fields

Walter - too ignorant to care

Wortox - is technically an outsider

Wurt - merms are only related to the Gnaw

 

 

I would actually argue that Wanda would either be neutral or attempt to side with Lunar peeps as she might want to destroy the shadows to get out of her "deal". Even her examination quotes for the gestalts have her question if she should make another deal so she might go for it.

Edit: Upon further inspection, she'd be even more likely to side with lunar due to how scared she is of anything to do with the Ancient fuelweaver and how the timelines become " untangled" when she wears the enlightened crown.

Wanda would definitely not be on the shadow side. Why would you help the party that is trying to slowly kill you at all times? Woodie and wicker seem like they would join the lunar side since all of woodies abilities work because of the moon and apparantly wicker helped him with that in some way.

Ok but does wagstaff have a cool stage? Didn't think so

I think Klei said that it's going to come down to the player's choice for each of them.

I imagine the post refers to their canonical choices, which no doubt they'll make. Maxwell's already taken Charlie's side.

And despite all of that, WX didn't get a single Lunar-themed circuit during their refresh. 

 

This is a hate crime against Robot kind.

In fairness, with Klei's plans for being able to "choose a side", I am thinking they'll give us plenty of new toys/unique perks for characters to play with like Wilson got, depending their chosen alignment. So they may have just been waiting on it, though we'll have to wait and see.

I mean, Wigfrid and Wickerbottom both got lunar crafts. So did webber if you count the shattered Switcherdoodle. While Wolfgang, Walter, and especially Wanda all got shadow/ruins crafts. So I don't think Klei would have held back a lunar circuit just so WX could get one from lunar alignment.
