Oswald

Curious as to what people think of him. I heard of him for the first time in Epic Mickey and fell in love with the character. Was pleasantly surprised when the update showed him in it. I especially love his pickaxe emote. It seems like the devs put a little extra love into him versus other characters. The only thing I didn't like was that they stop using the silent movie text blurbs after a certain point. I thought that was a unique touch that gave him something special, and I can't decide whether I like his voice or not

Oswald is my most favorite Disney character and I'm so glad they added him to the game! He's definitely adorable and I think he brings something unique to the game. I loved it when he was mute and the dialogue box had this old black-and-white film aesthetic. I wish that was an option or something. But I also love his new voice. It was a little jarring at first, back when he was added to Speedstorm, but I enventually got used to it. I think it fits him perfectly.

EDIT: forgot to mention, but I really enjoyed the first interactions the player has with him. The way you solve the puzzle to get the Spark of Imagination was like being in a rubberhose cartoon.

I have to say I'm not a fan of Oswald. Nothing against the character, but I feel like they could have chosen a more recognisable character. I had no idea who he was and had to look him up, and no one I've talked to knows who he is either.

With Eternity Isle displaying a lot of Atlantian imagery I was hoping that maybe when we entered that area we would meet Milo, or Kida, or even Mole. I found discovering Oswald there to be very out of place and am disappointed with this character choice. One of his quests, An Alarming Development, was kind of cute but I do find myself levelling his friendship as quickly as possible so I can be done and tuck him away into a corner.

I'd never heard of him before this (haven't paid any attention to the "old days" WD cartoons, besides being generally aware of Steamboat Willie).

But I can see how he "fits" in the overall DLC quest, in the whole "he's from the PAST! When it was all black & white!" way. (rather than the previously-mentioned Atlantis characters)
And they couldn't use Steamboat Willie, because that's just Mickey Mouse without color. And we have MM already.

It would have been interesting if they kept him as a silent movie character, but I imagine that would annoy the programmers if they did much more future content with him. /shrug

He's an excellent farmer, very responsive, its cute they way he reaches on ground and then in his pocket and then throws bonus pumpkins. At first I thought he was new and interesting, a bit hyper, clingy, and annoying; he always seemed to be lurking just around the corner, startled me a few times lol. Like most of the new characters there's an awkward phase, he fits in pretty well; he's handling this virtual dimension with grace, i'd be freaking out if I were resurrected after nearly 100 years and end up in 2024. I think Walt D. would be proud.
