To top it off, Walter has some of the most random perks/ cons for the sake of lore with no match for gameplay: tree sanity (makes no sense gaining a tiny bit of sanity just to pass by trees or plant a few around your base...), fire pit story ( only works at night, throws away the sinergy of being a rider), bee penalty (it's ok I guess).

Those are called flavor perks and they come free with literally most characters in the game, i will never understand why Walter specifically gets cornered for having cute flavor perks, did you know Woodie has some extra insulation because he has a beard? did you know he has a Canadian tag that makes his followers last longer? did you know Wx loses more hp when drowning? did you know that Wurt gets some sanity from holding a fish in her inventory? did you know that Wendy is neutral to ghosts? these are just a few flavor perks there is a lot more for different characters idk why people kinda just hate Walter specifically for this, its annoying.

I always thought he had a goofy amount of flavor perks. I never checked how much he had vs the other characters, but it seemed very high.

I did know all those things! And I remember them. I still can't remember all of Walter's flavor perk soup. The task of remembering just makes me forget them harder.

He has a peanut allergy, right? But you can counter this by making an inhaler. But you can only make the inhaler if you put your tent near Pig King, and only on days that are prime numbers. I think I have this right.

spill iiiiiiiiiiiit. not to mention walter's tree sanity and campfire story are both good as well. sure, a better player might not need it, but just because you don't, doesn't mean someone else also feels the same 

i'm a terrible player, i often engage in fights i shouldn't be and i get hit a lot. but with the pinetree hat equipped, i can manage walter's sanity loss on hit downside fine just by walking around in a forest (which is a good chunk of the map), and i was already doing that anyway! i need to scout the map!

also, his campfire story allows modders to do silly things like inserting in the bee movie script, you can't tell me that's not good

I mean even his pioneer hat cuts insanity by half...but then you lose the helmet slot (best armor equipments), so then you are subjected to receive more damage and consequently more sanity loss... so the best option to use Pioneer hat...is with a Beefalo because it tanks the damage unlike Woby...

So again: NOPE! In my opinion it feels like a "throw it on the wall and see how it will be because we are about to end it all already".

Random huh? I've never understood this argument.

Character downside loses sanity from getting hit and being low on hp.

Character perks 

• Gains sanity from being near trees
• Gains sanity from campfire stories
  • Fun fact combining this with his tree perk stacks meaning 16 sanity per minute for him and doesn't have a time of day limit in caves
    • Additionally you can combine this with glommer for 22.25 sanity per minute
• Gains sanity and hp from a tent he can use on the go
• Doesn't passively lose sanity at high hp
• Has a hat that halves sanity loss

I can't even imagine what ties these things together.

Voted "other" on the slingshot because I am a little tired of the slingshot being pretty much the only part of his kit that's been getting attention, and am hopeful for the portion of his skill tree that will focus on Woby and scout/camping oriented perks. Feels a little weird that the Woby section we do have feels so...preliminary, but guess that's what a beta is for. Also agree with everything people have said about how Walter's supposed "perk soup" is a myth.
