Do you think old missing characters should return to Together?

[JuliaQueen1]

I was thinking about this these days, because I don't think that DST should have new characters, but in this final stretch of the story, bringing in the old ones and explaining their story should be a good thing. (With the exception of characters that are directly linked to the story like Wagstaff and Wilbur who are basically in the game with the transformation of Moon Quay).

 

I'm more curious about characters like Woodlegs and Wheeler returning, not only because their Reworks would be much easier than the other characters, but I think they would have a very interesting role in the story.

I think you're about 7 years too late

I mean, besides the ones that already exist of course, i was saying that at this point of the story it would be a bit bizarre to introduce new characters and not include the old ones

[. . .]

Yes. All characters from DS should be playable and ported including Wagstaff. I'm sure Klei will warm up to the idea once they run out of characters to add skill trees for and they can also have an extra batch of reworks as well for the returning characters.

[Valase]

Not really, outside of Wheeler/Wagstaff, I don't think that the rest of the cast is all that memorable. Besides personalities and "starting gear", they don't have much to be brought over.

Look at this way- Wilson is the only one who canonically made it through all the puzzles and challenges Maxwell threw at him, and even HE did not get to escape the Constant.

When DST was created: Wilson & Maxwell created the Jury Rigged portal that pulled all the Survivors from alternate realities all into one world together.

so for them to NOT be in DST or have an NPC in DST is to imply that Walani, Wheeler, Wilba, Woodlegs & Wilbur all managed to Escape the Constant somehow.

I get that maybe Klei doesn’t want to add them as playable characters to DST, but they should at least explain where in the heck they went to tie off their story plots.

[EATZYOWAFFLEZ]

None of the old characters would fit well into DST imo. Their mechanics are either too specific or they've been functionally replaced by other characters. And of course Wagstaff is an NPC now.

[Antynomity]

No, we already have too many characters that's why we have eternal character updates to try and 'equal' them out on a power level, yet the same mistakes are being made over and over again so we will keep getting said character updates.

I just want Woodlegs back.

He's gona be brought back as Stonelegs now he likes caves much more

[Echsrick]

warbucks returning? yea i can only aggree to that

[ADM]

As much as I'm pretty convinced they won't, I would really like to play Woodlegs for what boats are in DST. Walani and Wheeler could be fun too but they'd be a bit out of touch nowadays.

[Mysterious box]

At this point there's not enough unique ideas going around in dst for anymore characters to be added at all let alone adding old ones whose functions have more or less been replaced.

[Yuuko]

I think there is definitely room for Woodlegs to come back with some cool boating perks.  We really need a character who excels at boating and NOT just b/c oars are great so Wolfgang is great at boating...

Also Wilani.  Right now in DST I think it would be pretty cool to have her and her surf board around.  It probably wouldn't be the same b/c we don't have waves the way a surfer would want, but she would probably love a paddle board.

While we're at it - spyglass and cutlass supreme could both be ported over too pls.  Have the cutlass supreme require a shark tooth, dropped 100% drop rate from sharks on the ocean.  Give the recipe for crafting it when you defeat Sharkboi - maybe with a tooth.  This would make him a great early game target for ppl wanting to focus on boating around.

I actually like a lot Woodlegs, and i think he deserves to be in DST, but i don't think all the Cast should be in DST, example Wilbur and Wagstaff, because both of them are tecnically in the game, either story-wise or mechanically (like Moon Quay Curse is bascally Wilbur)

Yes, in short, it's a bit strange that these characters haven't been mentioned until now, especially Wheeler, who i truly belive has strong connections with Wagstaff, not only that, but it leaves these characters a bit lost in the gap, especially because we don't know how their story started (seeing that none of them have story videos) and not even how it will end.

Even so, I still understand certain characters not coming like Wagstaff and Wilbur.

And speaking from the perspective of money, I personally think that these characters are basically High DLC, So i don't see a reason to not release them in finacial form.

I actually sugested that they go through a Rework, all the characters passed ir at the end of the day

[Just-guy]

I don't know if them returning as playable characters could work, since we already have characters that fit their niches or their gimmick wouldm't fit DST.

I can only imagine them returning as NPC's that would give quests.

As i said above.

By the way, I've already thought about things like Woodlegs having a boat like the DST's instead of his normal Don't Starve boat (Duuuh), but with Twist it would be much bigger (To amount a base on it) and it would have more life... But as it bigger, heavier to navegate and more prone to bumping into Rocks, that would be a really cool idea.

I like your way of thinking, I think it's better to theorize instead of acting like everyone is saying that "It can't be done", simply rethinking how the character would work in the multiplayer state and in the current state of the game, just like Klei did with the other characters.

Tell me why Wilson’s playstyle can’t be fleshed out a tiny bit more to get a better skill tree where he can choose between Wilson’s perks, or Walani’s (surf board perks) with matching Walani head skins and the likes?

When I first saw Wonkey add to the game I was like “Well this is semi amusing… buttt People who loved Wilbur wanted Wilbur & this is an Insult to those Wilbur Lovers, However if Wonkey had skins to LOOK Like Wilbur, hmm..”

Then there’s Wurt- Who depending on which skin you use for her is a Merm, a Goat, a Squid, an Angler Fish, or a Goldfish..

My point? Wilson getting a Walani skin isn’t as hilariously ridiculous as it sounded at first so much anymore now is it?

I never said that he wouldn't get those, nor even suggested something about it.

I don't think any of the characters could be reworked in a fun or interesting way. More characters at this point would just feel like bloat anyway.

Everyone keeps saying they want wood legs, but ocean content is so small compared to the rest of the game that his perks would be irrelevant.

I think you lost the script...  WHaT?  Why would Wilson have a Wilani skill tree and skin?

As for Wilbur.  I think they should have a special quest you can only do as a Wonkey that unlocks picking Wilbur, that would be pretty cool  Kinda like how old DS you unlocked Webber by finding their skull and burying it.  You could turn into a monkey and then quest to find the crown and return it to the Queen to unlock him.

Even this is soo cool, i don't think it will work at DST, unless you can play as Wonkey for the beginning and yeah, Wilbur be a Skin for Wonkey as a Free Character. It would be cool, but i don't know if it will work

Doesn't Wonkey not have a head skin slot? How would the Wilbur skin work or any

Wilba and Wurt could have the funniest interactions between them.

Like how Webber and Wendy have quotes between each other.
