Walter suggestion: Size dependent badge effects for Woby


Recommended Posts

One of the biggest downsides to Walter's skills relating to Woby is that some of them require Woby to be in big form while others require her to be in small form, meaning you would only take one at a time. I'm suggesting that each badge should have two effects, one for each form. This way, Woby will still benefit in most circumstances regardless of her size. The ideas I have for alternate potential effects are such:

Agility: Woby's ample agility helps her path-find for Walter, increasing his movement speed slightly while on foot.

Bravery: Woby stands firmly by Walter's side, inspiring him! He gains a lesser version of support's base effect of losing less sanity from damage, effective in helping players who want to take Walter into dangerous close combat circumstances, risking themselves to get hit.

Support: Woby is a great support animal, comforting Walter. The sanity restoration Walter gets from riding her should be moved to only when she's small.

Digging: Big Woby is a big help and can dig up tree stumps for Walter while he's collecting firewood.

Fetching: Walter can call in his companion to come and swoop him up so that he might mount up while on the move. Doing this keeps him going in the direction hes already moving for a second.

While it is good to have uniqueness to skills and thus builds, whenever someone intends to use Woby as a mount, it effectively means getting half of the perks becomes pointless. This applies also if someone wants to use a Beefalo instead. Giving the perks alternate effects means that the player will now have an additional choice to make while he's playing the game, whether or not having Woby in her Big state is what he needs at that moment. Consider these ideas, you'll like them.

Oh you reminded me of something, I usually carry two slingshots in my inv with different frame updates since both the thulecite frame and scrappy frame are awesome but at the same time highly situational. It would be nice if we can see the upgraded appearance of the slingshots from the inventory.

Off topic yapping aside, I think the badges should indeed function both in big and small form, but in different ways. And for pure aesthetic reasons the badges should show up on woby as well xd
