TeoSS69 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I think in the next update we will get some information on the other characters. A note from the library perhaps that is demanding the books that Maxwell has taken out for a long time signed by a Ms. W. Wickerbottom.I guess we'll get background info an all the characters, but since there are 2 updates left i guess they'll have to share puzzles. Unless Klei keeps them coming with DLC trailers...

Spazmatic Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 @Spazmatic i guess an update is due.Was gonna work on that already, but alas the lore has been updated I think in the next update we will get some information on the other characters. A note from the library perhaps that is demanding the books that Maxwell has taken out for a long time signed by a Ms. W. Wickerbottom.So far Wickerbottom could serve two roles: She may or may not be the sister of Charlie, or like you said was the librarian of the library Maxwell got the book from (if he got it from a library that is, but it still seems likely!)

Luggs Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 You know what would be a troll? If the last "puzzle" (and I use that word loosely) linked to a video of Joker going, "If I have to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice."

BlackWolf Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I think in the next update we will get some information on the other characters. A note from the library perhaps that is demanding the books that Maxwell has taken out for a long time signed by a Ms. W. Wickerbottom.I always thought that William got a hold of the book as a result of the train crash. Either one of the circus workers/passengers had it, or he found it in the desert. I doubt that a library would lend a book like that to people. I have a hard enough time finding witchcraft books at my local library! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamLogan Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) I can't believe she hasn't met the the twins yet! Personnaly, I understand that the twins are Willian and Jack. Maybe, her mother leaved the UK when they were baby to migrate to the USA. That's why the brothers go to this country. Anyone share my thinking?

BlackWolf Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 No, because then Jack would have said that their mother hadn't met them. I'm fairly certain the twins are Wendy and Abigail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unsound Mind Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hmm, something to tie into the 'why does maxwell get angry at you the closer to get to him' question. He made the world dangerous, tough to survive in. He goes outside of it and brings people here, and lets the world kill them. He doesn't like it when people survive, and thus get closer to him. He gets angry at them, keeps putting harder and harder obstacles in their way. So there must be something driving him to do this, to kill them rather than helping them help him. The killing part is important, the victim's success is bad. Since Maxwell is basically a prisoner of Them, I think they are driving him to do this, and might get unhappy with him if the killing isn't happening. However, when you get to the Two Worlds map in adventure mode, he's mad at you and says: So at this point he isn't worried about the killing part so much, he's more worried about you getting closer to him. So the player getting to him is worse than what They do to him normally. I think he's showing self interest here, that something really bad will happen if the player reaches him. Maybe he's afraid you'll try to kill him? Maybe he's afraid of what They will do? When you finally reach him he's resigned, not angry or afraid. 'You made it, congratulations, now what genius?' Hmm, this might be on the right track but obviously isn't right. I have a theory, but it might be crazy. First of all, I don't think They are making him do anything. According to Maxwell, he doesn't know what they want. All They do is watch. Perhaps they like to observe how humans react in situations the same way a psychologist does. As for the adventure mode question, this has also bothered me. However, on a recent play through of adventure mode, I noticed something. When Maxwell greets the player anytime in survival mode, his appearance is accompanied by smoke and a "popping" sound. In adventure mode, his appearance is accompanied by a black swirling shadow at his feet and a ghostly sound. On top of that, his appearance becomes more and more beast-like. It may just be a coincidence, but maybe that projection isn't Maxwell at all. It could be Them, or Charlie somehow taking his form. They both have reasons why they wouldn't want him to leave.

the truthseeker Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 He could be allowed to travel in the Adventure portals (popping in and out) but only making an illusion (he is a magician after all) in survival mode outside the door worlds. One thing is clear in adventure mode: the better you do, the more dark and ugly you see how he truly is as his anger means he can't hide it. But I'm more interested ATM what went wrong to make Charlie the way she is currently and if her sister is one of the currently unlocked characters or not.

TeoSS69 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Can we agree, that "Them" are the Shadow Watchers? #foreshadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estel Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 I would rather think that shadow watchers are kind of "avatar" of "them". Think like Wild Hunt <-> Aen Elle correlation in "The Witcher"'s world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARamblingSpider Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Hey @Spazmatic can you update this with the most recent puzzle? Oh and sorry for Necroing, but I feel as it this thread is important and should be noticed. Edited October 1, 2013 by Xjurwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixmore Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I just thought I add this. Maxwell's dialog regarding the Ancient Guardian suggest there was other people besides him and Charlie. If that's true, than we should look at this as a chess game with Maxwell being the king, Charlie being the Queen, the Ancient Guardian being one of the rooks, and the playable characters (excluding Maxwell) as pawns. Maybe Maxwell escaped and took shelter with Abernethy & Parker after taking advantage of the train accident to fake his own death. So Abernethy & Parker could be our rooks based on the fact that the rook represents the king's castle. Perhaps the DLCs will have bosses that resemble another Rook, two Bishops, and two Knights. And I'm betting there will not be any new characters though updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangulwort Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I saw an add for dont starve and wanted to see the full image. Much to my suprise there is a hidden image near the bottom that leads to a desktop background and a picture of "charlie" looking scared. http://images.eurogamer.net/2013/takeovers/Dont-Starve-Skin-Halloween.jpg I also found this. Dont know if anyone else has. http://www.dontstarvegame.com/science/mdocs/ta-da/praecantator.htmlIt has changed. I remember when it was only "3". Wish i chould have saved it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both have reasons why they wouldn't want him to leave.They don't just watch. He says that They'll show beautiful and horrible things and that if you get too close They'll do something to you, that's why he stays so dapper.They seem to like to observe human behavior and/or creativity, and for that they need someone to input creativity and turn the world interesting for other humans to survive. "Getting too close" would mean being insane in that world, where you can see them and they become more tangible, able to interact. That angers Them, they don't want to watch in the shadows, from far, they don't want to be seen and messed with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
