Because people kept complaining that companions in the original didn't have enough work put into them and you can't really have both a lot of companions and well fleshed out ones too.
Because its a great appealer to backers. They want a profit you know.
Also this game is bigger and more beautiful. Upgrades cost cash. People want more. Pay more
Some talking swords can get really dirty when used."Yes, yes... grab my handle... feel it. Now put them forward... harder....harder... i want all that moisty flesh..."
That opens all new kind of dungeon.
Flesh Dungeon.
Dun dun.
Dude. Ydwin is the 8th companion. Shes in. 5 mill is easy. Stretchgoals keep going AFTER fig with the backerportal.
Already at 4 mill now. (400k investments being vetted)
4.25 minimum when fig stops.
So only 750k
Next week the paypall boost and then it will trickle in slowly to 5mill over tge next month
4.25 million:
Add a 5th companion thats a spirit!
-Spirit of Nature that joins you
-Ghost that Haunts you (Maerwald haha)
-Piece of your soul that Awakens and tears itself free at one point so you both dont go mad
