Before You Play 'Don't Starve,' Read Up On These Characters

My friends and I always describe it as "Minecraft on steroids."

'Don't Starve'

In This Article:

One of my favorite indie and steam games to play is "Don't Starve." My friends and I always describe it as "Minecraft on steroids" because it's essentially a survival game that becomes increasingly difficult to play.

Today I'm going to be talking about the characters from "Don't Starve." I made the first part of this madly long list of characters in the past so if you want to see what other characters are available, feel free to check that article out!

Woodie

His character description is, "Has a lovely ax. And a terrible secret. Is thankful for bountiful harvests." What this actually means is that Woodie comes with his own ax but he also comes with a meter with how much logs he can chop. If he chops too much, he becomes a were-beaver where he is ultimately immune to most things but it also comes with many downfalls. After returning to his normal self, he will have very little sanity and health remaining. So be careful of who you provoke!

Wes

His character description is, "Can't talk. Has trouble staying alive. Practices balloonomancy." What this is trying to say in a nice way is that Wes is the worst character in the game. I'm not even kidding. Unfortunately, poor Wes comes with no benefits and only cons. He can make balloons but can hurt himself if he pops them. He also gets hungry faster than others and is weaker than most of the other characters as well. Don't pick him unless you really want a challenge.

Maxwell

His character description is, "Is dapper, but frail. Can split his mind into pieces. On a first-name basis with the night." Maxwell is the only character whose name doesn't start with a W and it doesn't just end there. His own character history is so interesting as he is the original character to have been trapped in the caves and required the help of other characters to get him out. In terms of character analysis, he can split his sanity into actual characters where he can help do work for him like fight on his behalf, mine rocks, or chop trees. His downside? Insanely low health. Just to give you an idea, Wigfrid has 200 health and Maxwell has only a whopping 75. Many mobs deal health damage of 15-25 so be careful as Maxwell.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
