This one’s the saddest one to me for some reason. In this video Wes does nothing but try to make the people around him happy, but gets fucked over every time do to pure bad luck. Poor dude wasn’t even supposed to end up in the Constant, he just stumbled into it. And the worst part is, even after all the stuff he went through, nobody noticed that he was gone.

It's interesting how Wes's bad luck positively impacted others. - His bad luck at getting food spilled all over him in the chase made a dog reunite with it's owner - The bad luck of having the rope snap underneath him saved a birds nest from getting raided by a couple of hungry crows - And finally his bad luck at accidentally getting dragged into the constant ended up saving a girl from becoming an orphan.

Maybe the lady who got saved by the soup might’ve been grateful but they might’ve not realised the soup was heading for them or just were confused, since it didn’t look like he really saved anyone.

[@TheFebgw]

This is actually PERFECT! It clearly shows that, while Wes is a bad omen for himself, he is a good omen for anyone that is around him, and his actions end up getting him into trouble, but also making people's lives better, without him even realizing it. I love this so much.

[@Flamme-Sanabi]

Sadly that doesn't apply to the gameplay.

[@TheFebgw]

I mean, it kinda does if you think about it. The hounds are more attracted to Wes, which makes it worst for him, but better to the other players lol

[@Flamme-Sanabi]

@@TheFebgw sounds interesting, are there more features like this?

[@TheFebgw]

@@Flamme-Sanabi OMG so many, Wes was totally reworked. I'll list some of these changes: -He now can pick the ballons he makes, so you can arrange them in a trap the way you want. -He now has a "Ballon Tab", where he can make items such as a speed baloon, where he runs a lot faster, a baloon hat which recovers a bit of sanity and helps protect from rain, a party balIon which recovers sanity from everyone that stands close to it, Wes included (and he recovers more sanity the more people are benefiting from the ballon), a ballon vest to avoid drowning when sailing, and there's one more but I forgot. -In addition to attracting more hounds, he also attracts more lightning bolts. He is more easily affected by cold and hot weathers. He no longer drains hunger faster, but his hunger, sanity and life are now only 75, making him the lowest status character. -When Wes uses tools, they degrade at a lower rate than tools degrade for the other characters, so they last longer, but his tool hits are weaker, so he needs more hits to break a stone, cut a tree, etc., but since tools degrade slower it balances out, except he'll take longer to get resources. There might be more changes but I don't remember now.

[@Flamme-Sanabi]
