Talk:Ancestor

Yeah, with the right trinkets and skills, the first form of the ancestor can be blighted of bleeded. But it doesn't do anything! I thought it was a tactic against him, not confusing useless note. 37.215.16.131 19:20, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

I have few thoughts on the way the Ancestor's biography is formatted. Lovecraftian and Grimdark media often leave out details for the reader, resulting in theories and headcanons. Try to add as many details that pertain to the lore, rather than creating theories that have not been proven by the official developers. For example, the Countess was a character in the Ancestor's youth, and was killed by him. However, it isn't explained how she returned, or how she regained her form. This is one of the things that are left to the player's interpretation of the story. As well, the Ancestor's actions are not easily ordered as there are no exact regard for when they happened. However, I think (based on narration, can be wrong and freely changed) that the Ancestor has a set timeline on his interactions with the Hamlet. He begins being neutral and welcomed by other Hamlet dwellers, and his excavations beneath the manor begin the rumours and ire that the townsfolk feel. We can partially separate the Ancestor's memoirs into two groups; one where he is beginning his pursuits, and where the townsfolk tolerate him; and one where he is destroying lives and creating abominations that the player encounter as bosses. I'm rambling here, and I'm probably being hypocritical with the "I think" sentence, but these are just my thoughts on this article. This article is still under construction by the way, so please contribute. Uncutconglomerate (talk) 08:05, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
