Dear Wolfstar and Wolfstar Team, let's talk about Hugo. 

But first; Thx for this awesome game [and soundtracks :-) ]. A very complex plot and the big sexy Bull with his new artwork and a bunch of cool wolfkin, keep me eagerly waiting for more. Well done. 

Now back to Hugo: I like you to consider some small but effective changes for the existing story/plot of Hugo now and in the future. It sounds nitpicky but I got the impression that  Hugo is severly suffering from the "Worf-Effect" (link https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheWorfEffect).  Hugo is a badass, but he sometimes ends as the enemies punchingbag instead :-(  . So i beg you to give Hugo possibilities to shine in future updates (especially in a fight). I also collected a few examplary scene. Please, would you consider  slighty changeing the text in order to make Hugo look more capable and tougher? "The Big Guy" of the cast deserves some love and credit to his strength. 

Hugo is established as extremly strong (Weightlift Scenes) bouncer with hundread year of experience and our hero is infatuated by that:


If Wolfstar helps Hugo against Fury, Hugo seems to be stronger than Fury ready to finish him off. But if you help Alex:

 

It would be more consistent if made clear that Hugo lost the fight because of Fury's Lightning Attack (just like the other choice). Or if Hugo is still (barely) standig and the hero insist that he should stay out so Fury doesn't get hurt.


The most infuriating Scene for me:


Hugo getting easily suprised and taken out by a single suckerpunch? Even considering that Sancho is a demon, Hugo doesn't derserve to be taken down so easily like Worf. At least give Hugo credit as a bouncer pls. For example let him block or dodge the first punch.  Or Sanchos needs severals punches while several of his Minions are holding Hugos Arms and Legs in place, forcing Hugo to comply (instead of going down from a single punch).

Thanks for Reading. I am really looking forward to your anwser, Wolfstar. 

Sincerely Berek a Bull- and Wolf Fanboy.

Howlies Berek07,
Ah, glad you noticed that sucker punch on our big bad ass bull.
Yeah that is strange that Sancho could KO our experienced bouncer huh?

Sounds like Sancho is some kind of arch/higher- demon, even more powerfull than Rotter or the big ape demon in the beginning. I suppose being a demon  gives a huge powerboost?


sucker punch on our big bad ass bull

exactly the Worf Effect. If it does happen once or twice against some Big-End-Game-Boss, it's ok. If this does happen to Hugo often (and it does happen to him a lot so far), he isn't a badass anymore. The Hero's admiration towards Hugo (Hugo being the stubborn but reliable-strong-protecting typ - correct me if i am wrong) sounds hollow. The hero is able to "akido-throw" Fury pretty eazily while Hugo goes down just like that. That's why i am also pleading to treat Hugo better in the future. 

Thanks a lot for your anwser Wolfstar. :-)
