Actually curious, can you beat every boss by just face tanking? With of course, an optimal amount of resources to be able to live.

I think nightmare werepig would be the hardest, or at least the most annoying.

 

CK is impossible (or we all facetank CK, depending on your point of view)

 

AFW is definitely possible with a brightshade staff. Scion probably could be done at the very least with wigfrid. 

 

Beargers and moosegoose would be difficult if you dont allow picking up weapons. 

 

I feel like mutated deerclops could get you in a freeze loop? But these guys dont heal, either.

 

Misery toadstool is probably effectively impossible, not literally, but enough.

I’d like to see someone try scion 

You can actually pretty reliably tank the floor by chugging glommer goop, didn't try it with dragonpies which stack to 40 instead of 20 but I'm pretty sure that wolfgang with 2 gloomerangs eating a dragonpie every 2 attacks could kill scion pretty easily

If you genuinely believe the things you say, then we should nerf everything that poses a difficult situation for those mediocre/below average players, just so that they can play the game?

If you truly believe this, you'd agree to nerfing everything that is remotely difficult, because bad players are part of the playerbase. They too play the game.

you interpreting "they should be included" as "only they get to have any priority and noone else should ever be considered also the game should be tanked to make them feel comfy" is a reading comprehension issue and requires you to know how to effectively extrapolate words based on context. i can't do your thinking for you, kiddo. looks like this exchange has come to its natural end.

You resorting to direct hits at me personally just shows you were ragebaiting from the start. 

"reading comprehension issue" "i can't do your thinking for you, kiddo"

The moment you try to insult someone, or take jabs at them as a person, all of your opinions and takes become invalid. :)

crystal's weird freeze loop only comes from its projectiles. His regular attacks will break and reset your coldness just like reg deer does

This was originally addressed to klei should keep better mind while you’re reading

Built in (very important it help bridge the gap between lore(an example of this is shown in the indigestible section of the description depicted in the picture above) and game) :

Dear Klei entertainment ever sense the webber rework came out I’ve noticed that one thing is missing and that thing is a small but noticeable sanity  drain when befriended spiders die it doesn’t even need to increase by the spider like being in range of befriended spiders dying drains not spider by spider and if that’s to much sanity loss then preferred he can gain sanity around decorated dens like how regular characters lose sanity around normal dens , grain sanity around alive befriended spiders like how regular characters lose around normal spiders, or both and you said yourself that the point of the reworks are to make the characters more like themselves so please make this change it would make a world of difference I love your game and this community and thank you(depending on whether or not there just considered recruits/expendable pack cows(in the case of beefalo) or friends this could also extend to all befriended mobs)

Thinking about a hypothetical reformulation of Woodie with real disadvantages, ignoring the skill tree, I think of something that truly treats his transformations as a curse awakened by his instincts.

He would have 3 stats (one for each curse) and his actions would increase a specific stat: to walk: Goose, Fight: Moose, mine/Cut: Beaver. That would be the character's foundation. With X actions or Y interactions, he could regulate his curse stats and use them to his advantage, while also having to manage his actions carefully.

(I'd like some opinions on this, I really think it would be cool :v)

It's not that different from the first version, just with the beaver. It would be an enhanced version of the concept.

Disadvantages are an integral part of the game. Wilson is the foundation of the game's balance. If the other characters are supposed to be stronger than him, they must have significant disadvantages. When we came to the conclusion that Wilson is boring because he is weaker than the others...

Built in (очень важно, это помогает преодолеть разрыв между lore(пример этого показан в неперевариваемом разделе описания, изображённого на картинке выше) и игрой) :

Дорогой Klei entertainment когда-нибудь чувствовала, что вышла переделка Уэббера, я заметила, что не хватает одной вещи, и это небольшая, но заметная потеря рассудка, когда пауки-друзья умирают, ее даже не нужно увеличивать за счет паука, например, находясь в радиусе действия пауков-друзей, умирающие истощаются не паук за пауком, и если это приводит к значительной потере рассудка, то предпочтительнее, чтобы он мог обрести рассудок в украшенных логовах, как обычные персонажи теряют рассудок в обычных логовах, разумность зерна вокруг живых пауков-друзей, как обычные персонажи теряют рассудок в обычных пауках, или и то, и другое, и вы сами сказали, что что смысл доработок в том, чтобы сделать персонажей более похожими на самих себя, поэтому, пожалуйста, внесите это изменение, это изменило бы мир к лучшему, я люблю вашу игру и это сообщество и благодарю вас (в зависимости от того, рассматривались ли там только рекруты / расходные вьючные коровы (в случае с beefalo) или друзья, это также может распространяться на всех мобов, с которыми вы подружились)

Webber doesn't mind eating spiders... So... He doesn't feel sorry for his friends... At least his original RoG concept did not assume' That he's a kind, sweet spider boy...

Call the way characterized don’t starve together shows that he is a kind, sweet spider boy also there are multiple forces of monster meat, not just spider in fact his quote for spider gland, show his comfort with the fact that it came from a dead spider saying  I won't think about where it came from.

Similar to how Wurt can’t eat leafy meat because while you can get it from lure plants which are a humane (I think??) way of getting it but the other methods are killing creatures

im pretty sure wurt is sorta like a panda kind of vegan, unable to taste umami in meat ( the reason why meat related product have that unique fresh taste)

i doubt wurt is the peaceful kind of vegan that likes love and peace

I bet merms get abdominal cramps if they eat meat. My head canon is that crock pots transmute eggs into pure waffle.

It's because "leafy" is just an adjective, "leafy" meat is still meat so she doesn't eat it.
