Question of the day 5!

If we allow for the game to have a secret where you can unlock a third character or drifter, and we can play through the game with them, who would you choose. I mean anyone. You can pick the white cloaked dual wielding drifter, you can pick pink drifter, you can even choose the guy who owns the gun shop. Who’s your pick??

The dog-dude with the beard and the snapback... potions shop, 100%. Or the otter-dude hittin' the pipe in the SW corner of town after you beat enough bosses? That seems chill.

Although, the two people outside the shop- the synth and the gardener probably have an interesting story behind them, too.

Honestly, what does that DisasterPeace guitarist-skeleton get up to on the daily, tho? I wouldn't choose to play the Drifter's timeline with these other characters, who probably live a mix of rebuilding and scavenging in the safe zones.

Synth? Not sure what you mean Also, there are a lot of characters who probably have extremely rich history

Take the sword master. I mean he teaches drifter, so he’s gotta have some stories to tell. Or perhaps the guys behind twelve key, underground where horde arena is. That bison seems like he had run in with judgement. There’s also a little dog guy playing with a blade. What’s his story? Or maybe the otter drifter with the dark cloak, or the large cloaked robot in town by the gardener.. was he a fifth member of the four boys in south?

My goodness the possibilities!!!! 😉

YES!! Good call on the Bison in the Horde Arena. That otter would be insanely agile.

I know it’s an obvious choice, but I really REALLY need more pink drifter back story. Guy loses his family to the scourge that’s is judgement 🤦🏻‍♂️. And I would love to see his fight with judgement. We got to see judgement in some weird centipede/ millipede form.
Pink drifter is one of those guys that when you meet them you think to yourself “now this guys seen some shit.”

The fact that he looks out for us/ saves us says a lot about his character. He saves the gardener and her father/husband too. Must have saved quite a few people. Him in his prime must’ve been a force to be reckoned with.
