Kelvin is... Special

[Ichbin]

I get it, he's got brain damage, but damn...

He can't fight. He never stays put, following you at the worst times. Doesn't follow you when you want him to. Idk if this was intentional, or just EA shenanigans. Lets not forget the ONE THING is does right, which is gathering, he can only do one log at a time. It's also hilarious watching him trying to finish a small log cabin.
The only real use he has, is the ability to conjure sticks & rocks, anywhere. Man's not a bad fisherman either.

And that's why I did not bother with him ... he's still moaning at start location (unless he can die of exposure).

[Elyrien Valkyr]

He's the response to how insanely tedious it was go gather resources in the first game. Kevin is great. He's a little ... different now, but that boys a god send. Makes building effective and large scale bases insanely easy.

He cant swim to my island though, will make a bridge / zipline to see if he will cross that

[Rascal]

Dude is a literal ray of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sunshine. Straight up good vibes and ready to complete tasks. Blue berries and water is all this based individual needs to get through the day. Hearing was just an inconvenience to him. Kelvin the giga chad does not need to listen to your garbage.

he walked into the fire pit and just stood there burning for about 10 seconds he was suppose to be resting

I used him for getting fish whilst i built, it was handy to have him doing that especially in single player

[Crow]

Don't forget his ability to magically conjure infinite Tarps.

[ikeaman]

I like him, makes it much better to play solo

[BRS]

i like him
It reduces a lot of the labor that was difficult when playing alone in the first part and makes the game less scary.

[Shadez]

He is good at farming fish

how did this go bc i have a similar issue

[Jamesinator]

your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ right hes special. He's the best companion there is. I told him to cut down trees and he killed 3 cannibals (with the tree). Kelvin is a chad.

[Buntkreuz]

Considering its an AI companion in an open world environment where the player interacts and form said environment, he actually pretty good.
When i tell him to get logs and full up a space, he manages to do that fairly well.
Tell him to get fish, he does fine.
Companions are absolutely hit and miss, even in linear games.
But the quality he has in an open world game is surprising.
Ofcourse not perfect.
