#i get the feeling he wouldnt like playing horror gamess

[silverskye13]

Got to thinking about Decked Out being completed and Helsknight and Tanguish getting to play. I get the impression that Tanguish would excel (if very anxiously so) considering avoiding conflict is heavily incentivized in DO and the whole point is to kind of steal an artifact. Meanwhile I suspect Helsknight would lose his marbles not being allowed to fight back (as per the rules since replacing mobs is a massive pain). Still, maybe the challenge of it would still be good enrichment? Would either/both get competitive about it if given the chance?

I think Tanguish would be fantastic playing Decked Out II! He's quick and quiet, doesn't like getting into confrontations, and given his history as a thief probably is a decent judge of risk vs reward. He wouldn't struggle nearly as much in the lower levels as other people, because the blindness wouldn't affect him. And given wardens can't really decipher his smell from the sculk around him, I think he would have an easier time sneaking past monsters. Tango would find him frustratingly competent at his game ahaha. I don't think he would get very competitive, mostly because I think he would be well aware his runs are a cakewalk compared to everyone else.

Helsknight on the other hand! I have no! Idea! How good or bad he would do. I agree the challenge of it would be good enrichment. I think he would love the puzzle of trying to sneak and be nonconfrontational [though admittedly, I think "fun" for him would involve a lot of getting really, really pissed when he loses lol. You know when you play rage games, and you get angrier and angrier but also you've never been so invested in something in your life? That kind of vibe.] But I don't know if he would make it to the lower levels. He doesn't do suspense well, or being hunted well. The upper floors with ravagers I think he would eventually master, but crawling around in the dark while Wardens sniff him out would put him off I think? The power subversion would make him feel off-balance and vulnerable, and the blindness would unnerve him. I think he would end up being like Cub/Hypno/Etho, making the excuse that "really, if your deck is good enough you can win on the top two levels without delving THAT deep. It's fine!"
