All of that is a reason to nerf Maxwell, not to retain the current state of affairs

It shouldn't be controversial to say that there should be a reason for a minimaxer to actually be playing Wickerbottom as the character who reads the books and not just crafts them

Ok, so remove the Celestial Portal. Then there's "reason" to play Wickerbottom. Anything less than that and the "problem" of minmaxers only using a few characters will never be solved. There will always be characters who are the best, and characters who are not as good (not to mention the pushback you'd get along the lines of "it's just pve! I have no concept of why balance is important, so don't nerf the ridiculous characters!").

After this dev cast I'm more optimistic.  This looks like some fun stuff that brings more options, interactions, and especially more QOL to existing systems that need it.
