I got a fun little theory now that this update is out, what if the final boss of the swamp wolves is going to be Serena? like she gets taken and becomes a drone of the swamp or something and becomes like a "Goddess" or some shit involving fertility because all she thinks about is sex and what happened with the werewolves. maybe we will get another character swap moment where Logan or Bernard will have to fight Serena and either bring her back or send her to the afterlife (and or kill a bitch) because she is unsavable. (The second possibly giving a black heart or just losing love with Logan because that's still his wife and he wanted closure or something. while the first he would get closure and she would either try and fight to get him back or give in and understand she fucked hella up. maybe even depending on our interactions with her she could either hate us or end up hoping we date her Ex because she wants him to be happy or think we only stole him and if we died, she would be his love again. maybe that could be like a mini boss where we gotta stall instead of win because Logan will eventually hear and chase the MC or Serena depending on choices and either break up the fight stopping MC from hurting his wife and getting mad or stopping his wife from attacking MC cause they only blocked and became injured while his wife was unscathed even if we dealt damage because we didn't win the fight.)
we also maybe could get a new mechanic about like allies coming with us other than companions! like if you get 5 hearts or maybe just 100 like with someone, they could just come with you on adventures and help you out. plus, they could have unique skills like Logan and Bernard would have higher physical stats but lesser charm/persuasion stats. and maybe Rose, Othra or Xer could have higher intellect stats and be better with smart stuff, while Rose in specific would have higher charisma and be hecka smooth.
this could also tie into later bringing back Tao/Scrap to Bareshade, we could have 100 like and take them back to Bareshade or the home they live in! maybe scrap could become like a second roommate and learn from Korg! maybe they could even do lewd things lol. plus maybe non humans could give the character buffs? like Werewolves could give a buff called "Scent of the wild" and depending on which werewolf you could gain a different version! like Logan's could be super strength buff but less charisma due to it being like a berserk infliction buff while Bernard's could be a bit of strength and maybe some speed because idk it's Bernard lol, and Caleb could give speed for certain and maybe Charisma/appearance because of how flirtatious he is. (Which maybe these could affect others too and cause them to get in trouble, everyone but Bernard at least.)
also, the lizard's ability/buff could be similar to Orsu's blessing, but like Lizards protection if you have one of the Male lizards (excluding Xer) and Lizard's Blessing if its female (excluding Xer again because he would be custom until he chooses his path.)
Then Orc's could give something like Tribal stuff or Ancestral Wrath based off heritage and could change depending on which Orc you got, Korg could have something involving whatever his Clan does and Orgram or Groth could have something involving their clan!
(And humans are basic bitches imo, fun ones but still basic so no buff unless they are like Everett and are commander's which could give leadership roles where you listen to them and gain buffs the more you listen or something.)
