Pipspook Quest 3: The Sequel (And Wendy discussion further on)

[Frootl00ps]

If PQ1 + 2 were combined, what would you like the new PQ3 (since it's now PQ2) to be?

I was thinking of an alternative to Pipspook that adds to the character and not just a QoL skill.

 

Perhaps instead of doing the quest you can turn it into a temporary ghost boomerang weapon, or build a temporary shrine (a use for the perennial altar?) that induces flower growth (and maybe resume their quest later?)

Another point, maybe to combine Extra Yield and Strong Brew. Since Strong Brew doesn't affect the better potions it's not really that useful especially because of how many potions you can have. I'd even take a 1.25x duration multiplier for all potions instead of the 2x. Really just another QoL skill. Honestly a better QoL skill that is better than EY and SB combined is something like Bigger Potions, allowing two uses for one potion. And since they like nerfing to balance things out, perhaps decrease max stacks to 15 when obtaining Bigger Potions. This leaves another skill open (final skill in the chain), what would you have it be? Being able to have two different potion effects? Being able to throw potions on the ground/at things and whomever walks on the potion puddle receives an appropriate buff / debuff? (Group and ranged healing? Woohoo)

Regarding the Picnic Casket, it's great! The things it's lacking is just QoL stuff. Not staying open while crafting Tell Tale Hearts, or being unable to drag the potion onto the box and storing it, like fueling a lamp. It'd also be nice to have two or three hotkeys that pop up when hovering over the casket, showing specific potions. Definitely not a big issue for PC players but I'm not a PC player.

Since Ghastly Experience potion makes the Sisturn practically useless outside of Sisturn Blessing 3 and a cute animation, it'd be nice to implement in it everyday Wendy'ing.

I think a good place to start would be able to upgrade the Sisturn to be able to do more things. Kind of another quest for Wendy to be able to do. Perhaps with the upgrades you'll be able to imbue Abigail with elements, or have her stay at or send to a specific Sisturn, or be able to access Abigail's otherworldly inventory from a Sisturn only, where she will only hoover things up if it's already in her bag. (I'd mainly use this for potion ingredients ngl)

I'd love to hear what you guys think what would make Wendy not just better but feel more fun to play.
