That’s something of an awkward question.
Regardless of certain wibbles this one might have, this game used to have, on the developer side, someone who was very much a REH purist with more than a little pull.
This one thinks that was Joel Bylos?
But it has been years and concussions ago.
But then we get to perhaps the meat of the matter.
Is it better if it is done, even if controversially, and this the half decade+ old story given some closure, and the bug, as it was acknowledged to be at the time, addressed. Or is it better to just not touch it an hope for the player base to forget?
Going forward, with the Survival genre becoming more and more crowded with adjacent games that might tickle the itch, this game will still have it’s lore and it’s subject matter. No matter how many other build a fortress and enslave your enemies games appear, this will still be Conan tm. Doubling down on the point of distinction and appealing to one of the player bases with offerings of something they have that no one else can provide may be a tipping factor for those on the cusp of jumping to Enshrouded or Soul Mask, or any of the rest of the glut of such games coming this year.
