Tzimiscelord Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) I was thinking in maxwell quotes from the final chapter, in the nightmare throne, in this, to be more precise: "Or maybe They've grown tired of me." "Heh. Took them long enough." "They'll show you terrible, beautiful things." "It's best not to fight it." "There wasn't much here when I showed up." "Just dust. And the Void. And Them." "I've learned so much since then. I've built so much." "But even a King is bound to the board." "You can't change the rules of the game." "I don't know what they want. They... they just watch." "Unless you get too close... Then..." "Well, there's a reason I stay so dapper." "What year is it out there? Time moves differently here." "Go on, stay a while. Keep us company.""They" or "Them" are beings of terrible and unfathomable power, beings who are best not to fight....They just watch, (unless you get too close in your shadow control capabilities, and they ****** you), only watch, day and night....And then, i watch this video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BUcTVIV5y0 And i watch a dark observer watching.... an observer i already know too well, when my characters go insane, (second number 00:45) we can se another one in the william carter puzzle number 6, and another one in the pics of maxwell´s house. Sometimes, we can see them even while sane: http://dont-starve-game.wikia.com/wiki/File:Shadow_watcher.png I think they are the beings who retain maxwell captive, the source of all the "allucinations" (we already now oficially that the allucinations are real beings and not allucinations at all, not only because they can move the webs of a spider den and alert the spiders even when you are far, but because a totally official phrase says:"Low sanity is not fatal, but strange creatures from another time and place are attracted to madness."And, we can craft things with the substance of their bodies) They are watching in every moment not only maxwell, but everyone in his realm, that maxwell built for them, even if normally we can only see them at low sanity (normally, sometimes we can see them sane) What do you think? You believe the same as I ?What do you think is its real purpose?Why only watch, if you have power for create or destroy almost everything?I´m open for all kind of theories, critics or just opinions.

Battal Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) The reason They just watch is because the entire world of Don't Starve is nothing more than a stage, the characters nothing more than performers. Maxwell directs the show, hence the name "Puppet Master". They are the audience. Edited April 9, 2014 by Lord_Battal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzimiscelord Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 we dont knowOf course, i just want to know theories, what the people think, and trying to make a puzzle, or just watch possibilities that i alone havent thinked yetand, in answer to lord battal.... I sincerely hope it is some kind of experiment, or just need a human host to something, or to enter our world or, i dont know, a motivation, just for entertainment will be..... a little disappointing for me.

Eldritch horrors, elder gods, beings that exist outside space and time- They could be a lot of things. Is the entire cast of don't starve entertainment for Them? Perhaps. An experiment to understand human nature more? I dont see why not. Maybe They feed off of saddness and fear. Maybe They are evil just to be evil. Or are They actually evil? Do we know Their true intentions? Perhaps all this suffering is for the greater good on the cosmic scale. Maybe They are a manifestation of the human concept of fear itself, They are not even real but simply what we tell our children to fear lurking under their bed, in their closets. But in telling them that, doesnt it make Them real? Whose really pulling the strings? Can we as humans with our limited knowlage and comprehension even perceive it? Of all the magnificent and incredible things that can and do exist! What can't? We just Don't know. And that's where the fear and fascination stems from. Because we'll truly never know anything.

Tzimiscelord Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Not every game is going to have some "Evil plot to destroy all humanity" or whatever. Plain and simple things, without reason or purpose, are seen commonly in real life, when i play something, i want something more exciting and challenging that "they are doing it for the lols", im more akin to Maximun 124, but thanks anyway, its a possilility, after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
