Dr.Webber Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Do you think the new vignettes could be hinting at the next skill tree being Webber’s and maybe they add another hamlet character or maybe some content from Hamlet and also maybe some form of update on the A Little Drama stuff or some to do with the rose vines 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First I thought he just looted the stuff people abandoned in the theater, but you can clearly see that one of the people he helped had a walking cane, but not when he go outside, and later in his home Wagstaff had that cane. He really is evil. An opportunist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cropo Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 13 hours ago, goatt said: I'm a bit confused, so he was a thief? In Shipwrecked DLC, Wagstaff has an examination quote on I think the snake oil where he comments that he used to be a snake-oil scammer. He was always a terrible person, especially when it comes to cheating and scamming people. Anyway this is great, i've been wanting them to update the Klei shop for a long time, I just spent all of my 13k points on the skins I missed; it's an absolute win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D_Good_Fellow Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 12 minutes ago, Dr. Safety said: So Wagstaff is essentially just me in public servers... neat! Me, forcibly relocating all pig men to my lumberyard to literally work them to death: "Man, that Wagstaff guy is a real jerk!" In all honesty though, this might not be a coincidence. I've always found it interesting that Don't Starve indirectly encourages "immoral" behavior. Playing successfully usually means killing innocents and prioritizing loot over the preservation of life. Even Krampus just encourages being SMARTER about how you kill things, rather than actually deterring the act of murder. To be clear this is not a criticism of Don't Starve; it's actually pretty common for gameplay to encourage player behavior that contradicts a game's narrative themes. In fact, DS has always had a certain self-awareness to this that I like! The game seems to understand that players are doing "immoral" things to win and incorporates that into the game's dark humor (like Maxwell declaring "Sacrifice yourself for my comfort!" when killing something that can't fight back). Which is why I think it's so interesting Wagstaff can be compared to a "Don't Starve player" himself. He explores The Constant using an avatar he controls from the real world (you know, like you do whenever YOU play the game) and his casual meta commentary really makes him come across as someone who doesn't consider The Constant "real" so much as a simulation he can study. This animation suggests that he treats the real world similarly. Maybe I'm overanalyzing this; I just think it's neat 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wagstaff Evil though! In his defense, there was NO way he was lifting that rubble off that guy in the theater. Also is it confirmed now that WX-78 is partly organic or is the body under the floorboards not connected to WX With how annoying the pigs can be in Hamlet I can't blame him for wanting to end the world lmao (Still my favorite DLC) On that topic, I wonder what the Encore short that was released a little while ago implies. Seems like Maxwell is dipping more into being evil again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Safety Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Seeing Wagstaff in animated shorts and seeing his personality has changed my mind. I know it will never happen, but I'm officially for having Wagstaff eventually become a playable character in DST (I'm sorry I ever doubted you @LinknAllie) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im starting to understand why he was so excited to try and make the world end sooner in the Hamlet dlc… lol. I knew Charlie & Maxwell were the good guys all along! Well mainly just Charlie.. Wagstaff Evil though! While it doesn't show any of this survivors, I like this short because it finally properly muddies the choices between Wagstaff and Charlie. Up until now it was basically just "queen of darkness" or "silly little man who's in over his head." It started to be shown in host of horrors and scrappy scavengers with his reaction to the Possessed varg and Wobot, but it's pretty clear his true colors now. Wagstaff is willing to help the survivors as long as its convenient for him. And Hey! He has about a dozen of them! So if a few get lost in the process it's not the end of the world for Wagstaff. But as soon as it becomes inconvenient, he's going to leave the survivors to deal with the consequences. Meanwhile Charlie is very clearly an enemy, but appears to be willing to negotiate with the survivors for her benefit. She accepts the dreadstone for the portal, She's willing to negotiate with Maxwell (although very clearly manipulative in manner). So i suppose the question is... Would you rather have an Enemy that sees you as potentially useful, or an Ally who views you as expendable. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
