deskp Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Seeing as it sounds like characters will be the only reward/progress you really make in this game.Is there supposed to be a ton of them or just the 5 we currently see? Have the devs said anything about this?Could there be characters without special abilities?My hope is there will be alot of characters, because I like the visual differences, the special abilities isn't as important to me.

Bogpad Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I don't have a quote at hand, but I am pretty sure the devs mentioned to make more characters as the 5 we see atm, yes.up until recently, all characters were without special ability, except for wilson, so I guess no,they got through the struggle to give all of them a special skill, so most likley there won't be characters without one, why should there, the characters stand for different types of gameplay, defined through their special skill.

Cheesecookie Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 There is a new one on the way, To go along with the research change It's going to be another girl/woman and have an ability to help with the new researching system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogpad Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 that's the fifth one he already mentioned, but as said, there should be more than these 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Tree Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 That would be a great idea.... adding new characters always refreshes the game...We might even see some pets somewhere in the future .... who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpetinus Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I would love a character who has like a permanent pet (until it dies of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 If you want a character without special abilities just play with wilson without the meat effigy... and the 5th character is supposed to be really smart and i think it's going be an old woman!

deskp Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 (edited) If you want a character without special abilities just play with wilson without the meat effigy...

mobius187 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I wonder if the characters will continue to be unlocked only via XP earned from playing the game, or whether additional goals will be included to add difficulty to certain unlocks? I'm of course thinking about the Binding of Isaac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm of course thinking about the Binding of Isaac.I remember that kevin mentiond that after he changed the research points, he will work on exp aswell, so I guess chances are good that we see something like you mention, or at least a change on how it works now. in worst case, we will at least be able to unlock new characters without killing ourself.

Of course I would still like it if there was something more to it than just that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylynne Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I would love to have to unlock them via ways other than exp maybe keep some for exp, or "easy" unlocks, and then others you have to something that is perhaps related to them. I like working to unlock them all and I don't want them to be too easy to unlock...Perhaps you have to unlock and play one of the easy characters to unlock certain ones. So that way you get something for trying out other characters.. Though I'm sure some people may see this as punishment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Fu Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Just chiming in to say that there used to be TWO blacked out characters a guy and the girl you see now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I'm assuming from the silhouette that she's a librarian who has and effect on the new research stuff. Probably the one who has to pay less extra resources to unlock items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathurr Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Has nobody unlocked her yet? I can't find any information on her anywhere. Not even a picture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royal Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 It's not able to be unlocked yet, simply a placeholder silhouette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
