My prediction for new killer WENDIGO was not the one used but It doesn't mean I was wrong. 💙

    Yeah I hate to say this man but I don't think it's going to be a windigo. The devs pretty much made it clear that they don't want to add creatures. Yes the windigo was once but the only creatures we might have in this game are basically ghost.

    Plus we already got to see the killer it's not going to be a windigo it's going to be a killer with split personality disorder using a combat knife that can interchange their stats at a moment's notice

    Every single clue. 
    The one you are pointing out with the names on the walls I suggested being days survived trapped after an avalanche or something like that happening. Days survived until being forced to eat eachother to prevent starvation. Susan in this case died earliest so I suggest she was injured in the avalanche and died shortly after obtaining injuries. 

    I still think a wendigo as a killer makes sense and would be sick and I'm hanging on to hope that they went with it.

    I realise some of you are sticking with the safe bet by saying its a mad man with a split personality like everyone says it is just for the sake of being right. I want something creepy really bad and a man with a knife is just so bland. This is the perfect opportunity for a wendigo and I would hate for noone to say "hey, devs see me here I want a wendigo as killer so bad. It would add that layer of horror which is desperately lacking.

    I'm not obsessed I just want to show the devs or whoever that a wendigo has a genuine place in this game and anyone comparing my idea to the hag just because she's a wendigo like creature then all I say is that ideas can spark new opportunities for a better diverse gameplay and mechanics. The wendigo could scream its own existence to you. A wendigo isn't a creature that places traps and teleports, a wendigo is some weird clicky cracking creature with no sense of humanity which hunts and stalks its prey. The hag is a sorry excuse for a wendigo killer because in essence she's just a shriveled up old woman who knows a bit of magic that's it.

    You're definitely obsessed with the wendigo theory. Otherwise you would have left it as "I'm hoping and heres why".

    Actually I just think the whole idea of a wendigo is pretty universal and would be a creepy killer in a game getting lost in killers which are there for novelty reasons and being just fun. 

    It would enable new interesting gameplay mechanics to work. I don't want a man with a knife as killer because I bet they are similar to myers who is his own character.

    But see, theres the problem. The knife isnt what makes Meyers. It's just a tool.

    It's unfair for me to label every knife killer with being a myers reskin JUST like it's unfair to say a wendigo killer would be a reskin of hag. 

    Freddy has claws too is he a reskin of hag no. As you said its the nechanic that makes a killer. 
    There is so much that can be done with a wendigo as killer. Climbing then dropping on someone would be nightmare fuel. A mechanic which makes it so survivors running power the killer up kinda like bloodlust. Imagine the pig ambush attack except its above you ready to pounce from the next room. I have pretty bad ideas but there are so many others which will work a dream.

    Except climbing on walls is a reason why they shot down the xenomorph as potential killer. Would be too hard to animate and work mechanically into the game.

    I also never said hag or freddy were similar? Hag isnt a wendigo...imo.

    Also, I meant the core character, not the power. Meyers is meyers bc of who he is. You could give him a bat and hed be scary.

    Logically though? Not wendigo more than likely.

    I expect this chapter to be the mad masked guy but I wanna see something wendigo like in the future. Even the noises they make are terrifying.

    As usual, everyone swears it's going to be some killer that it's not and end up being surprised when the PTB comes out. These post-teaser discussions and theories are the worst, I swear

    Hey maybe this hairless licensed wendigo will get in some day;)

    When you say WE TOLD YOU SO. It wasn't your theory. You stole it from someone else and believed it. It happened to be true because it was the obvious option. The killer was right there in the mirror.

    As for my Wendigo theory. The pieces and clues did fit. Apart from the we are legion caption in a dev tweet. 

    From how basic this killer seems I'm kinda glad we didn't get a wall/tree climbing wendigo who can charge and pounce on people because it needs a lot of time to make that kinda thing work well. 

    The legion is a fun but oddly underwhelming killer in it's current state but I have trust and faith in the devs to resolve this in time. 

    I'm happy about the new survivor and I love his upcoming face cosmetic which was leaked. I won't spoil what it is because imma spook you with it.

    I will still make far fetched predictions and look at unexplored possibilities for future content in teasers and whatever.

    It was a really nice feeling knowing what I suggested was possible but the devs chose something else over it.

    This killers main draw is probably the customizable options and making outfits would be more likely to benefit the game over a wendigo which would likely be near naked.

    I don't think DBD would have a Monster type killer, it's very Fantasy.
    They're sticking to human like killers.

    AshleyWB Member Posts: 4,061
    Wendigos are human but transformed after cannibalism. Similar to hag but more physical and devastating. Easy lore and nice snowy mountain map. THEORY - they made Ormond a realm right?, more snowy maps and possible new killers coming related to snow and stuff? Omg.  Maybe but really far fetched😀

    Agreed,  this person needs to step away from any wendigo content for more than a few hours.

    I mean it doesn't seem that the Entity has a time/age restriction when it comes to luring people into de fog, but we don't what is its reach. Atough I would be happy if it simply were a guy wearing a plague doctor mask, even better if it ends up being a skin for the Legion.

    Whoever thinks I'm obsessed just because I'm suggesting something and dismissing unfair criticism. I have to question What is it that you are hiding?  You must have something deep down inside you that you feel the need to deflect your feral nature upon an unsuspecting avatarless civilian who is making a suitable prediction.

    For the record I'm not obsessed with wendigos. If the next teaser makes me think oooooh Slender or oooooh Noo-noo from teletubies then I will get excited and look for clues supporting my theory. Especially when I'm the only one making a meal if it. 

    My theory wasn't wrong because my whole idea would have fit. However they didn't go with a wendigo because they probably would have had to put a lot of work into it. This new killer the legion has a more simple and aggressive playstyle which was probably needed. 

    Maybe next year. Or before then would do.

    You're not dismissing "unfair criticism"; you're dismissing any and all criticism pointing out how you're wrong. You literally believed that all signs pointed to a Wendigo, despite the blatant contradiction between that and the teaser picture we got.

    Lolololol this idiot said the new killer could be a Wendigo when its not. @AshleyWB Lololololol 

    My idea was creative, you just assumed oh a mad man with a knife was the killer in one image and you went with that because you were 99.9% right not because my idea didn't make sense.

    Yes, we all assumed the guy with the sharp, pointy stabby thing was the Killer, because all Killers have weapons, whereas no Survivors have weapons. If anyone called you an idiot, they were wrong to do so, but there was absolutely no reason to suspect a Wendigo after the teaser picture we got.

    That's just what someone obsessed with Wendigos would say.

    But I feel the urge to ask, where is that obsession coming from? Is it a mental illness? That would be cool, honestly.

    @Orion I dismissed all criticism which said evidence didn't support my theory. Just like now because it did support my theory. And you're still saying it. They went with another killer but this doesn't prove my theory wrong. Just that the killer wasn't even covered at all. It could turn up in the next chapter and it would fit perfectly.

    Can you explain the dead body of the skier and make a link to this killer? Because with how weak this killer is I don't see the legion killing that skiier to DEATH. Your theory is flawed.

    It didn't support your theory, that's what we've been telling you. You were seeing what you wanted to see and ignoring blatant contradictions. You were demonstrably wrong.
    The dead body of the skier is, you guessed it, someone that the Killer killed. Read the Legion's backstory.

    You are wrong and have been wrong this entire time. You were not dismissing "invalid criticism"; you were dismissing people pointing out how wrong you were.

    @Crow so making a prediction and defending it screams mental illness to you?

    For your information I am one of the most sane people ever according to me, myself and I.

    Seriously though I was excited as I knew it was possible. You can't seem to tolerate excitement though.  You like many others seem to get a buzz from shooting down people's want for something creative and innovative. 

    The reason why others didn't come up with their own theories is likely down to the likes of you and the others who can't seem to want to cooperate just Shun the whole theory without even wanting to understand. 

    You talk about mental illness or whatever. What is wrong with these people who want to prove me wrong just to feel good? I cannot be wrong in theory because future content is undecided and it's a chapter idea which makes sense to cover.

    AshleyWB Member Posts: 4,061

    @AshleyWB Why are you talking to me like I've disagreed with you? I find your constant conspiracy and theorizing about wendigos very funny and unique! You don't scream mental ilness, you scream personality and creativity. I sure hope that there will be a wendigo-based chapter in the future why not? As long as it is scary and doesn't lose the essence of the game it'll be good.

    Just because you can answer a question doesn't mean your answer is right or even good. Your theory was wrong from the start. Other than the map, everything else pointed away from a Wendigo.

    TEST ME - You give me a clue suggesting it's The Legion. Then I say how this supports my Wendigo Theory.

    Only then can you claim I am/was wrong.

    I can already say you were wrong because the Killer is already available in the PTB and it is demonstrably not a Wendigo.

    Just shows how little you've even taken notice of my theory onion nurse.

    So your reason why my Wendigo theory is wrong is because it's not the killer.

    I know that. What I'm saying is that it was perfectly suited to the chapter pre ptb release.

    We got a picture of the Killer and the name of the Killer pre-PTB, objectively proving you wrong.

    My theory of a wendigo was not wrong as it was a perfect fit to the clues. It wasn't wrong in terms of it didn't make sense like you are putting it.

    I tell you what I will make a bio or whatever for the Wendigo at some time just to prove how well my theory could have worked.

    It fit one clue, which was the map, but it didn't fit any other clues, like the literal picture and name of the Killer.

    The image of the man with the knife i interpretted as he's a psycho because he's lost his mind and he's killing people because he was turning into a wendigo which is why the reflections signified decay into a wendigo. 

    To summarise:
    I wanted something interesting. Just because I didn't see it doesn't prove my theory to be wrong. It just wasn't the one used.

    My theory was bad? Really compared to the generic background this chapter has. 

    No offense but I was desperate for something terrifying and groundbreaking. Instead we got a psycho pig reskin who can launch him/herself at survivors and pretty much poke them to death.
