Hey we're aware of this - I'm working on a temporary fix that's hotfixable that'll make this wall buildable until we can do a proper fix.

No need exact numbers, but some information is detrimental to our strategies.

Unfortunately, I do not have more specific info on the rates just that it is higher on task then off task.

Team is working on a Hotfix for this situation, when its live you should be able to talk to either the Raptor or Siv to proceed

Hey, At what stage did you build the guardhouse. It should be locked on the blueprint table until the correct section in the quest. When I just checked I was unable to build the guardhouse so unsure how you have gotten into this state. Cheers

Currently looking into this. Thanks for raising :)

He also does not praise strength

I always felt like the way the Raptor spoke to us was because he himself defeated similar creatures and didn't see us as superior to his capabilities despite most other NPCs treating us as something of a celebrity and hero with our World guardian status. This requires, to some extent, a personal appeal in gaining strength and victories.

If he is uninterested and unenthused, I'm not really sure where his motivations for slaying difficult foes and comparing his accomplishments with ours comes from? Does he have an objective, or is he supposed to be a sort of "sentient robot" personality that is just programmed to kill things?

These are more dialogue than they are personality - maybe deep inside the Raptor cares tremendously, but this is more about what he does and doesn't express than what he does and doesn't feel.

These are interesting notes, but it almost sounds like he's a robot. He doesn't react to jokes or sarcasm, he doesn't praise or ridicule, and he speaks in the simplest sentences to get the point across - and in monotone no less! I'll be interesting in seeing how he's characterized in the quest tomorrow.

Yeah it's an interesting issue. The way I tried to deal with it was to have the Raptor be the straight man to the player.

FWIW this is "Rorschach speak".

This isn't a full character guide for the Raptor (because the basics like "always wears armour" and "stoic badass" are pretty obvious) but it goes into a bit more nuance about how to write him consistently. We wrote these during Unwelcome Guests to try to explore what does and doesn't make sense for the character and why, since even within "stoic badass" there can be a lot of interpretations.

The Raptor (he/him)

  • "The Raptor" is an awkward name to work with. If absolutely necessary, he should be addressed as "Raptor" (as in Batman) rather than "The Raptor" (as in The Rock), but avoid having characters address him directly as "The Raptor" or "Raptor" by just not structuring the sentence in this way. Indirectly he should be referred to as "the Raptor", but the 'the' should not be capitalised.
    • Bad - "Hello, The Raptor, how are you?" / "Hello Raptor, how are you?"
    • Good - (speaking to the Raptor) "How are you?"
    • Good - (sp...

It is, but not because of stone spirits.
