Title: Increase Raider Roster with Skins.
Post by: TheBrentWoody on August 20, 2018, 04:59:10 PM

Make these skins unlockable with gold, but be a character that is functionally identical. Like Alicia and Clone Alicia. Kon bot and Kon Project

I'm all for skins on this game because they are done very well, but isn't that kind of what they already do with the guns that go to certain skins? Like Barrier Mikah with mechanic skin is different in the way you play her from someone else's default skin vk-9 Mikah?

I meant allow duplicates of characters if the skin is a different entity.

i see. trying to allow more than one of the same character on a team, like 2 Kons?

So let Alicia and Clone Alicia be separate characters.  And get some lore working on how to incorporate that into others. Other Aleph Weaver's is easy on Iune. Get some voice lines associated with those skins. Slave Units. Etc.

Just from a lore aspect it'd be cool. I'm all for giving them unique everything

I totally think lore is crucial and should be heavy thought out if they were to do this, but in my head, i'm laughing at gameplay of multiple "Alicias" zipping around a stage, or a team of "Harecs" all posted in a corner of a ceiling.
This could work out as meme teams and be good for funny videos or surprise hijinxs for Antags

Yea, clone Alicia's kind of a weird story. She just joined Harec's team because she thought she was real, but discovered, no doubt by seeing the real Alicia, that she was a clone. How does that jell with Alicia and the team? How does she not kill Kuzman on the spot?

Yeah, I don't mean make every skin count as an individual, but the skins that are seperate individuals let them play with the originals.

Four Tolchok Kons or four R&R Alicias, that would mean bad times for the antag. I doubt that will happen.

No one is saying let four people play the same character. I'm saying make pickable raiders consistent with the lore even with one another.  Like Alicia and Clone Alicia. Not Alicia in a different outfit.  Also, balance RnR and Tolchock first.  Obviously. :D
