We have seen many streamers play Unexplored, but “Wildfremd” is the first to reach 100 episodes. To celebrate that magic number, here are 10 questions and 9 answers by Wildfremd.
Episode #100 of Wildfremd's Unexplored series
1. Why did you decide to play and record Unexplored in the first place?
I found the idea of a new dungeon generator really interesting. There are many great rogue-ish games out there, but at some point you know the pattern and they start to feel a bit lacklustre. So Unexplored caught my interest during Early Access. First I did a first impressions video and after a while I begun the let's play.
2. When did you know, "This is going to be a long series"? Was there something in particular?
I don't think 100 videos of Unexplored make it a long series. Sure it is my longest let's play, but between part 80-100 I realized that I only scratched the surface. It feels more like I'm at 10 percent of my let's play.
3. What's your weirdest experience in Unexplored?
Definitely to adapt to the dungeon generator. It took me a while to understand the possibilities. Here and there I see people complaining about how they got stuck, but I never got stuck in Unexplored. There is always a possibility to progress, but maybe you don't see it, because you never played a game that creates dungeons in such a way.
4. Which moment (probably a death), made you hate Unexplored the most? 5. Which moment (probably not a death), made you love Unexplored the most?
(Answers to both questions): There is one thing that I hate and love the most about Unexplored: Dying is always my fault. It never feels like the game is unfair or enemies are cheating. After every death I found a solution for the problem that caused my death, and that is driving me nuts in a good way. :-)
6. What are your favourite settings/classes?
I play the game on challenging (without extra puzzles and bosses) and I refuse to make it easier. :-) I can't say much about the different classes, because I don't play to unlock a specific class. There were to many games in the past that forced the player to play a game in specific way to unlock this or that. If I unlock a new class that's great, but that's not my goal. I really like the adventurer and the mage (with recharge scrolls ;-)), but I'm sooo bad with the rogue. I really don't understand stealth in Unexplored.
7. Which of the DLC did you like most?
The truth is: Until now I never played one of the DLC. I put all my focus on the main game. I never played Unexplored without recording. But this question lead to an idee: I will maybe start streaming the DLC on Twitch. So everyone (0-1 viewers ;-)) can see me live getting crushed! :-D
8. Now that you have reached number 100, we reckon you switch to another game? Which one and why?
That's a funny question! In the last episodes I've got the feeling that's only the beginning. It's not getting boring and there is so much more to explore. I'm joking around and tell people that I shoot for 1000 episodes. Maybe. We'll see. Unexplored is not my only project, but it comes first. There are so many great (and unknown) games out there. Caves Of Qud or Cogmind would be interesting choices, but it's not yet set in stone.
9. Your favourite games are...?
Wow, this question is hard. I play now for over 25 years PC and console games and I've played many, many, maaany games and there are countless games that are great. I really like rogue-ish, diabloesque, platformer, role-playing and competitive games.
10. Who is Weldfremd?
I was born in 1980, I live in germany and I worked as a lifeguard and a copywriter. I can write, but I'm a talent-free entertainer! :-D I love books (yeah the ones with paper!) and writing. Due to my mental illness and my personality it is sometimes very exhausting to create new videos, but I love it! At last i would like to say: Mental disorders are serious illnesses that need more attention!
