A player recently asked: Will mates be more helpful in WolfQuest 3?
The answer is: Yes! and No! and Somewhere in between.
How’s that? Because in WolfQuest 3, your mate will have a personality! Some mates will be bold, some humble. Some social and some are loners. Some energetic and some lazy. We’re building much more naturalistic version of the social arena (I’ll share more about that in a future blog post), and in those interactions you can get a sense of each prospective mates’ personalities — though as with any partnership, you don’t discover everything at first… Your mate’s personality will affect how it hunts, how it interacts with you, with pups, and with the rest of the world.
Which leads us to another question about mates: Should it be possible for them to die? They can’t die in the current game, but that’s mainly for simplicity, since raising pups as a single parent would be quite daunting, and there’s no mechanism to get a new mate. In WolfQuest 3, it will be possible to get a new mate, so we’re thinking about what kinds of fates might await your mate — and we’d like your thoughts on this!
Here are the choices:
a) Mate can never die.
b) Mate can die and it's permanent.
c) Mate can die but you can revive it once, mortally wounded with low health, needing sleep to heal its wounds — but if it is killed again before recovering, that death is permanent.
d) All of the above, depending on difficulty level.
