RobotAccomplice Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I know this topic has been done to death, but I just thought I'd throw in my thoughts Maxwell promised each of the characters something they wanted desperately, but banished them to the world of Don't Starve to accomplish that.To Wilson, as shown in the "Forbidden Knowledge" video, Maxwell promised success in his experiments and special magical knowledge--which he used to create Maxwell's door and banish himself to the world of Don't StarveTo Willow, he promised freedom from authority and societal pressures--by being banished to a world where she was the only inhabitant.To Wolfgang, he promised a reason for him to use his strength beyond simply performing in a circus--by banishing him to a world where he would need all of his strength just to survive.To Wendy, he promised to return Abigail to her--by resurrecting her as a ghost in a hostile worldTo WX-78, he promised a world without humans, where he would be free from Asimov's laws and could murder living things as much as he wanted--but he also made the living things try to kill WX-78To Wickerbottom, he promised a use for her wealth of knowledge, the chance to experience the outdoors after years behind a desk, and the opportunity for her books to be published.To Woodie, he promised a world full of trees, and the return of his beloved axe, lost years ago in the Canadian Wilderness. He also promised to prevent the Werebeaver from ever hurting anyone again.To Wigfrid, he offered the chance for her created persona of Wagrithr to become a reality, complete with weapons and a warrior's spirit. \Wes is just annoying so Maxwell locked him in adventure mode until the player frees them.

I just wish the developers would give us more info. Back ages ago, Kevin hinted at Wolfgang's backstory but nothing developed from there...we are quiet metaphorically, in the dark.

Ixmore Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I know this topic has been done to death, but I just thought I'd throw in my thoughts Maxwell promised each of the characters something they wanted desperately, but banished them to the world of Don't Starve to accomplish that.To WX-78, he promised a world without humans, where he would be free from Asimov's laws and could murder living things as much as he wanted--but he also made the living things try to kill WX-78To Wickerbottom, he promised a use for her wealth of knowledge, the chance to experience the outdoors after years behind a desk, and the opportunity for her books to be published. I believed that other people other than Maxwell and Charlie was involved in making the world because maxwell hints that he once knew the Anceint Guardian and WX-78 was created by one of the people involved and Wickerbottom was the wife of another person involved and maxwell promised her that she would be reunited with her lost husband Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/33854-character-backstories/#findComment-441660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MycoLogical Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I do feel Wickerbottom has a lost partner. They refer to her as Ms at the end of adventure mode rather than Miss. However her comments make no,such reference.

RobotAccomplice Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 I tried to make it fit with the whole Faustian theme of dark forces offering people things they want and then deceiving them.
