Maybe once we hit the RED button we were going to eat some trauma, sure but it seems kind of like we basically doubled down on character creation problems-power at the sake of scars and trauma...My worry is stack too many, especially in the early game when we're surrounded by enemies, and we might just get swapped out for someone who isn't a shambling broken husk.
one isn't unlocked? Then when we grabbed that stick to finish the Spider off with...Where did the flames come from?
Also, there are many things that I wonder. We can only use shields, but can we dual wield shields?
Can we use more than strapped shields? What about center grip shields?
Here is how I think we can improve our offensive ability with designs alone:
Both two-handed and strapped versions. Pretty straightforward: just take the edge of the shield and either sharpen it or make it pointy, if not both.
Also pretty straightforward. Maybe more difficult to make, but this is a fantasy land, so who knows.
Big spike on the face, sharp edge designed to catch swords, integral blade and gauntlet, and IIRC, it also has integral spikes for the gauntlet to hold.
A little over the top? Maybe, and we don't really need the lantern, but otherwise it seems pretty damaging.
Honestly I think the biggest difficulty might just be procuring the shields to add such options to our own/'inventing' said shields if they don't exist, which might be a possibility. Especially that Lantern shield- I would not be surprised if say, people developed some sort of low-cost light spell or enchantment instead.
I think the main reason it turned out so badly was because so many people voted for the RED option at the start of the vision. I THINK this was in hopes of MAXIMUM POWER and possibly healing, but we really should avoid the RED options in the future.
No, in my case at least it was not in a desire to see maximum power, I didn't even consider that the visions could affect that until this last update. I voted for it because constantly ignoring Yukihime's bad impulses will not help us overcome them. Also because the imagery was rad and I wanted to see it, that was a factor too.
The only other color we've seen that I remember is BLACK. It showed up for "Break" and "You feel nothing". If the Cursed Shields match the seven sins, then maybe it's sloth? Otherwise, I would guess despair.
