Brumister Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Yes, I know this sounds stupid, but let me explain myself. Out of all the characters, only 2 of them (Winona hasn't really done anything yet) really matter lorewise, and the others are just... their for some reason. At this point nobody's expecting a full on 612 page epic on the life story of Wes, so do you think it would hurt to much to just plop in someone else? Just as well as they fir the theme of the game, their name starts with a W, they aren't to crazy OP, and they have no impact on the lore whatsoever, would it be possible? And no, I'm not saying that Walter or Wisteria are gonna pop up in the next trailer or puzzle, but theirs nothing really stopping them from existing.

Feels like this game is for "make own story" thing, where comes rollplay and do whatever you want in the world. Although, modded characters can be cannon if you feel like it, tho it won't ruin or change the story due to the whole gameplay is like playing in a multiverse where you can find own copies of yourself, or even other versions of it, so any mods added to the game would will become cannon if you believe, imagination is your tool in this game.

Sinister_Fang Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 That kinda falls into the fanfiction category to me. So no, it's obviously not canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you are describing is absolutely nowhere close to either. I sincerely hope that if any of you are old enough to drive you have a less “interpretive” view of what stoplights mean.

I sincerely hope that if any of you are old enough to drive you have a less “interpretive” view of what stoplights mean. what should be canon is a canon within a cannon. But then again the devs would never allow it. Thus we can never full fill our cannon needs. However it would be interesting if the stavers carol was something that was canon. The characters have voices now! But, sadly the devs also denied that as canon. Let us go ahead and talk about stuff that is actually canon with in this game, and not just bad mouth some one on the internet that just happened to add an extra n to a word mkay? As i said earlier The boons can be considered as a mod character if you really want them to be since those have to have been people who entered the don't starve world but then ended up dying. For all we know the only characters who have survived are the ones we play as currently and who are pivotal to the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because canon vs non-canon is as simple a concept as "red means stop, green means go" and there comes a point where I really wonder how people make it through the day without their... creative thinking... becoming a hazard to themselves and others. 40 minutes ago, EsaiXD said: what should be canon is a canon within a cannon.

I really don't understand the source of your confusion around canon vs non-canon. If you considered the boons mod characters you would be making up non-canon story. In addition, Webber was dead at the start of DS, you unlock him by finding and burying his skull. As far as the story is concerned the only characters that can be described as "Pivotal" are Maxwell, Charlie, and Wilson. Maxwell and Charlie largely influence pre-DS comics and puzzles, Charlie is the current ruler in ANR, and Wilson is the canon character to complete adventure mode between DS and ANR.

I know you're making a joke, but it raises a good point about the status of the SW characters, which have been in a very strange place for a long time. For whatever reason, Klei decided to kind of pretend they (and SW) didn't exist, and all of a sudden have a beta update right when they announced the forge and hamlet.
