Your Portia character in Sandrock

[Adesanya]

I would have SWORN I saw Mint in the Sandrock trailer ... so now I wonder, if I buy and play and go to Sandrock will it carry over from my Portia saves?

Mint comes from Sandrock -- he came to Portia for the street project.

And no, it generally makes no sense to try and build a game that can use fully developed characters from some other game, as well as providing a good experience for new players.

Also, it even "happens" in games where you're actually playing the same character(s) in different games. Ever wondered why Lara Croft only ever sets of with no skills and basic gear?

It's rarely mentioned in game, but here's an example where they actually did it: Neptunia Re;Birth3: Back to level 1?!

I wonder if this is going to take place before or staggard congruity with Portia. You might see Mint head out to Portia at some point during Sandrock if I guess right.

Well in the Suikoden series there was the option to load your old savegame into the next game - but not to make your old character the protagonist, they instead showed up in a side quest (and could be recruited for the party afterwards).
Since in the 'My Time' series the main characters are builders, maybe the main character from Portia could have sort of a market booth once a month in Sandrock - a bit like the mysterious merchant.

Personally (not speaking for anyone else) I dislike returning protag Cameos. They feel so forced and they rarely (If at all) resemble the Character I played.

Here are some examples:

1. Main Character of Dragon Age 2 showing up in DA: Inquisition.
2. Maverick (Not even the name I picked for him in WC) Main Character of Wing Commander 1-4 showing up in WC Prophecy (actually I don't have a big problem with this as the FMV (Full Motion Video) aspects of WC 3 and 4 innurred me to the loss of my character from 1 and 2.
3. Sims 4: Anyone of my created Sims showing up in a place because they were randomely picked by the Game Engine....NO She is a High Class Snob....Why is She in the Bowling Alley? I hate this most of all.

I am sure there are more, but I can't think of any. I am just saying it doesn't really always turn out good.

Thanks for all of your replies! I thought NOT but ... it will be nice to meet Mint all over again!

Messaggio originale di Kargor:

I just realized .. Mint is NOT from Sandrock. He's from Vega 5

Mint lived for a while in Sandrock before moving to Portia. But it isn't clear what his role is in the new game. He isn't on the sheet of concept art for Sandrock characters. On the other hand, developer Zede has said on Pathea's discord that the new game starts a little earlier than MTAP and ends a little later than it. It might be that he simply passes through Sandrock on his way to Portia. Zede also mentioned that we'd see the travelling musician Penny in Sandrock, it is probably the same thing with her.

Whether we can reuse our character model from MTAP in the new game, they haven't finished examining if that would be possible.

OOOOOO Penny was fun too!

I've decided I will probably create a new character for Sandrock for exactly the reason that it overlaps the time at Portia.
