TL:DR Version: Nightmare Fuel screwed everything up.

Yup, pretty much. Check Metheus after the William Carter puzzles, @Emsyhunter.

Yeah, the basic outline is

  • Maxwell uses Codex Umbra for his stage magic but it's really magic and it kidnaps him and his assistant Charlie to The Constant. 
  • The shadows there put him on the Nightmare Throne, where he can control the world but never leave. 
  • Maxwell lures other people to The Constant through a certain model of radio in order to mess with them. 
  • Wilson is one such person, tricked into making a portal to the Constant. 
  • Wilson survives Adventure Mode and finds Maxwell on the Shadow Throne and frees him, but is trapped himself. 
  • Charlie releases him from the Throne to take it over herself, casting Wilson back into the Constant
  • Wilson and Maxwell meet up and after a rocky start agree to work together to make a portal that transports the other trapped survivors to them. 
  • They survive long enough to get to the heart of the Ruins, fighting the Ancient Fuelweaver and going into the portal after it's defeat. 
  • In the portal they find Winona and are put through a gauntlet called The Forge, eventually defeating the Grand Forge Boarrior.
  • From there a new portal is found that takes them into a world where they face a force called The Gnaw. (This is where we are currently.)

I forgot to mention this earlier, but there's also a little bit on her speech file comments on the Charlie page. You can go read the whole thing if you want to, but long story short, Charlie now resents Maxwell for the whole mess.

I don't really blame her, he is basically responsible for her current state. 

Not intentionally, but still. 

I'm waiting for the inevitable boss fight where Wilson suggests just letting Maxwell go solo for this one. 

Thanks guys, looks like I was upto date, can't wait for more. Sorry I kind of got addicted to the game, lol I wrote that earlier didn't post for some reason. 

 

Interesting stuff thanks, didn't realise Charlie changed the portal that maxwell and Wilson made.

1921: Wilson gets pulled in (Forbidden Knowlege trailer).
*THE ORIGINAL GAME + ROG STARTS HERE*
?: Wilson lives in DSworld for a while. Dies a lot, eventually finds Maxwell's door and confronts Maxwell

?: Some other crazy stuff happens that we haven't told you about yet.... 

?: The DST plotline begins.

 

 

 

Minespatch thanks i will look into the gnaw, I know about the rest. 

 

Question is the throne that Charlie on the same as the throne maxwell/Wilson was on? I came to an assumption it wasn't and that the throne that maxwell was on was a link to (I guess) the real world (were the characters originally came from), maxwell was needed for the throne because of his magic and that's why Wilson was removed as he didn't have magic. Just a though.

It's the same throne. The nightmare throne works based on the mentality of the sitter. Here's different versions of the throne during her internal struggle.

If you look at the triumphant skins, the same applies to the throne. If Wilson stayed on the throne for longer, the land would've matched his personality but Charlie took away that potential timeline.
