CatBurger Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 It seems that Don't Starve Together is getting a story of itself now, with Charlie taking reign over the shadow throne, changing and adding to the world. So, a story needs an end, does it not? I think that maybe this will be an end to the overall don't starve story line, with the characters and the new creations being rid of from the shadow world, and the shadow world returning to an empty world. Everything created in the don't starve universe will be gone, and the characters will return home. It would be a cool cutscene to see the characters coming back to their homes and lives, like wes appearing back in france and beginning his mime career again. And maybe just for satisfaction (this isn't going to happen i know but it would be pretty cool) Wilson comes back to his house, but he is only depressed because after meeting people and making friends, he has to return to a life of a failed scientist. NOW what if he gets a knock on his door, and opens it to see CHESTER. i would love that but it probably wouldn't happen. So do you think the end to the storyline will be in DST? Do you think Shipwrecked has to do with anything? And what would you like to see in an ending?

I agree. The characters will be probably go home eventually but... I reckon they will be altered. My theory is that the version of themselves that heads home will probably be the Triumphant version. Why? The only way to escape is to conquer the shadows... to become... triumphant. This is why I think DST Adventure Mode will come to fruition. With all the current lore of the story, the gang is planning to find Charlie (Ex: End of Cyclum). There will be a huge battle against the shadows and maybe Maxwell will be able to convince Charlie to help them, because he and Wilson both know the horrors they provide. Then. They'll be free. And as a cherry on top, Wilson will be sitting alone in his home, reminiscing over the horrors (and joyous occasions) he experienced. Then (like you said) he will hear a knock at his door... and all of his friends will be there. Plus, a very happy Maxwell with a recovered Charlie. At least... That's how I'd end it... For all we know there could be a meteor strike and all the survivors will die.

Asparagus Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I'm on the fringe if whether or not Don't Starve needs an ending like that or not... a lot of possibilities could make the ending... As you said, they all go back to their regular lives, part of them missing the trill and adventure... and each other... their lives will never be the same... but to get there, what would happen to the world where it all happened? They could come back to their world like nothing ever happened... but that would be too boring. They would appear to be back to their own world, but then we realize that they're still stuck being THEIR play things... not knowing that they're still in The World... they go about their normal routines before they were sucked into THEIR game... but it seems they've put up a new stage for their performance... They never get to leave for reasons: There must always be someone at the throne... THEY must always be entertained... THEIR world relies on their souls... their presence... their lives... Charlie is forever bound to THEM... as the previous Puppet master failed THEM, THEY must now bring matters in their own hands... Charlie, both Shadow and human... the catalyst... she mediates between them... giving her free reign, but at the cost of her sanity, soul, and heart...

Zeklo Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I don't feel like it needs an end, but I guess I wouldn't really be against it. Though something that might be worth mentioning is how characters die and respawn, or how Maxwell died after coming off to throne yet exists as a playable character in the world. What I mean to say, is it very well might be "Them" that is keeping them "alive". So if the characters were to escape the very thing keeping them alive (be it an eternal loop), they could potentially die. Of course, I have no idea how it all actually works, but that's just an intriguing thought.

fsp98 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I feel it could have an ending similar to the adventure mode one. The cycle continues, you can still play the game itself. Someone probably has to stay on the throne - that's what hit us as a cruel ending when we first finished it, right? Maybe we'll get different mods, each one with specific difficulty and unique features in the world, depending on whoever is on the throne at that moment. Maybe they will just get used to live there, maybe they will save Charlie, maybe the two worlds get 'merged', maybe WX will sacrifice itself. Probably something we haven't thought about will blow our minds in the end. What I would find fascinating is an 'ending' that repeats the cycle on the bigger scale. Maybe they save Charlie and the shadow world will start falling apart. They all wake up back on earth and the shadow world will reset. Then past versions of Maxwell and Charlie get in there and start it all over. Time 'works differently' there, after all, and I love time-travel fiction. They could also simply get out and throw away the Codex Umbra, only to be found years later by Shipwrecked-featured characters. Or, the story ends with a meta, deep plottwist, like that we are shadow creatures, or that we are just chess pieces of some even higher beings - our players. Something like this would hit the same way as when I found that adventure mode doesn't really end anything (the cycle continues) and that there is something far worse that controls the game.

AniMike Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 You meet Charlie, defeat her, the throne is empty.. they require a new host. Just as Wilson was about to accept his role as the pervious holder, the original holder, Maxwell, rushed back to the chair. Maxwell sent his new friends back to the original world they started in and the game continues as normal, but more brighter and fulfilling.

I actually wrote a Christmas gift for my friends last night. It was a bittersweet thing. The trick is with taking a victim away from the Throne and exchanging it with a willing sacrifice.
