Select fae at start

[Sch]

Can you add some way to select fae in the first room? In Hades, gifts from the gods were used for this. Sometimes you want to test a specific build and have to restart the game until the required skill appears.

I agree with your reasoning. Forcing a random Fae on the first room could be considered an extra level of challenge but considering you can just quit and restart the run it just ends up being a "time tax" to get what you want. So in that sense, just let the player pick the starting Fae. Same outcome but more respect for the player's time.

Agreed. Also I think there should be a way to refuse a fae's blessing, getting gold instead or something. It's hard to do a purity build when the game forces something you can't avoid.

I mean if they're gonna copy Hades so much, they really do need to take more good ideas from them honestly lol.

Trinkets, Companions, Heat Levels, Events, Lore, Room Choices (Find way too many times in Sworn where you're given only 1 choice in rooms, where as Hades not only almost always had 2 but sometimes had 3)

Even level design-wise, Asphodel is a better example of Sworn's 3rd Biome currently. The water is currently hampering too many abilities and the islands are just obnoxious to navigate. In Asphodel you could still move over the lava but took damage if you stayed in it too long, which is imo a better design.
