Walter should get a bonus for foraging


Recommended Posts

Walter should get double and a chance for triple harvest out of plants that have not been uprooted and grow in the wild naturally. It would encourage Walter players to go out of their way to gather resources outside of the base.

 

it also fits his scout persona, as he is experienced with foraging and survival as THE ONLY survivor in all of the cast, makes sense that he forages better

chance for double I agree with.

Chance for triple ONLY if the plant hasn't been dug or moved around though.

Technically this would be Woodie since while Walter went camping Woodie lived in the woods.

As for this perk I feel like this should probably be bundled with another ability if it's just a chance to harvest more.

eh, i still have family that live in the wilds of alaska and i assure you foraging isnt an automatic skill just because you live 3 hours from a grocery XD

The difference is Woodie is implied to have lived completely isolated to hide his werebeaver form if he wasn't able to forage well he probably wouldn't have survived and his quick picker skill seems to directly reference his foraging ability from living that way. Also while you didn't bring it up I do want to mention that Walter being a scout doesn't necessarily mean he'd be better at foraging it's possible but not definitive.

fair enough, both have the potential neither are guaranteed.

I think it's better to leave this for Warly.

Or let them specialize in different areas? like Warly gets extra meat and crop with hunting/farming, while walter gets foraging bonus for grass, twigs and wild berries and stuff

It doesn’t fit Warly. Getting more from butchering animals fits warly. Warly doesn’t forage, he’s just a cook and an „accomplished butcher”. 
Walter is a scout specializing in survival outdoors, makes sense that he would forage better.

the problem is it is 20 for a character that was never going to get a fair shake x___x not even sure klei will see this let alone take it into consideration

20 for an unpopular character no one cared about, makes this even more impressive and Klei should look at it even more (that's me coping hard on copium)

I think it's less noone cared about him and more placing anyone beside Wendy was bound to get them neglected by comparsion.

Well that and the usual thing being that of the 3 characters Wendy takes the least effort to power up, then Wortox, then Walter so they'll probably have to work hard on his remaining abilities to keep people invested in Walter post skill tree.

i'll have a glass of what you are having then. regardless though when the beta is ended i am going to be playing the cutest kid for a while x''D i have been watching walter play-throughs for two weeks straight now and i am super excited<3

Based on your suggestion and the post that @_mylilsunshine_ made I got an idea

 Imo Klei could easily add both ideas if they make a badge system for Walter, like maybe him having a foraging badge that gives him a bonus for grass, twigs, berries, birchnut seeds, even bananas prob, etc.

Yeah people really underestimate how much fun his skill tree is as it really encourages the player to explore content due to how every piece of his gear is tied into various different major areas or content. There's also fun niche interactions like slowdown rounds being able to slow down nightmare creatures or honey rounds being able to trap birds.

Basically Walter's skill tree feels like it encourages the player to interact more with the game rather than by pass it unlike a lot of previous ones at least in my opinion.

Personally I think another fun one is him doing a shadow Winona role play with the brightshade helm if you need to afk since it prevents Charlie and he doesn't lose sanity from being in the dark.
