Characters feel empty without stories or interactions

[Hades]

I’ve been really enjoying the game overall gameplay is solid and fun. But one thing that’s been bugging me is how the characters don’t have any personal stories or interactions. It makes them feel kind of forgettable, and I just end up picking the most useful ones instead of caring about who they are.

I keep thinking about Dead State, where each recruit had a backstory, quests, and even events at the base. You could talk to them, and they’d sometimes interact with each other. It made me want to recruit everyone just to see what would happen.

Would love to see something like that added here. It’d make the characters feel way more alive and add a lot more depth to the game.

I'd love to see backstories and cut scenes and the ability to run into the other starting characters somewhere down the line. Maybe they'll know one another or were in some sort of military safe zone that was overrun and were separated.

-1 (Dead Age has)

[Lekgos]

Agree, we want more from the characters

[Tauliath]

I'm hoping they will add these over time as it's a very common complaint. Fingers crossed

+1, some voice acting would be nice too.

[Ordisoftware]

-1 for voices too, as for stories between characters beyond the background stories about the starting characters and scripted encounters.

It's not empty but a special atmosphere, specific gaming experience. I like the game as it is.

The roadmap already promises more interaction between characters — let’s hope they add that kind of stuff.

Do they have plans on the road map to add stories too or is this just a hope?

Aye check road map they'll get a lot deeper in their interactions with one another
