maybe he & her both can have a redemption arch- which in turn opens her up for becoming a playable character. The newest lore dump in his rework however makes me wonder if he and both Charlie weren’t just Victims.? Perhaps Maxwell wasn’t Always as bad as the game portrays him? And perhaps. I suppose gameplay wise: Klei didn’t want to change too many of Maxwells in-game quotes but you don’t go from most hated guy in the franchise lore to as Wickerbottom puts it- “he’s actually a sweet boy when you peal away the ego.” Without some sort of major plot shift & lore reveal- even still, his in-game quotes don’t make him seem “sweet” at all! All Villain traits, meanwhile Charlie was just an innocent bystander caught up in his actions. I personally never liked Maxwells personality myself- His character quotes make him seem cruel, self centered & uncaring. They both seem to be possessed by a demon of some sorts and unable to control their actions. The more lore that is revealed for DST the more I am convinced that Charlie Nor Maxwell are acting upon their own free will. So a quest like Celestial Champion that would expand Charlie's lore while players would be able to pick her at the start is what i felt like would be the most optimal solution. To delve deeper into this, I think that Charlie would require something of a higher scale compared to refreshes so a quest line like Celestial Champion would be very fitting for her, i don't think that it would be a good idea to lock a character until quest is complete as a lot of the players would never get that far or even if they do, they wouldn't swap their character at that point. I've wanted to see Charlie as a playable character for a really long time but there wasn't really a good situation to talk about it considering how many characters were left to be refreshed, now that we are almost done with all the reworks I think that this is becoming a possibility especially after watching Maxwell's short as i seem to like Charlie more and more while Charlie is already fleshed out in lore and I don't think that it is a bad idea for klei to actually make her a playable character. Why i am mentioning this is because i may not be correct in suggesting this so i would really like if people explain why it isn't a good idea when it comes to lore. I am not really a lore person, while I do follow DST lore at least partially and this is a very big exception compared to all the other games that i don't really care about their lore while i play them for countless hours.
