I agree with you on all accounts more or less. But I want to change it only slightly, and the basic premise of Sonellian's armor works is just right I think for the job (assuming everything balances out)
Tom explained to me why your weight calculations didn't work out. I'm going to take him for his word, and apply his prescription to all your equipment and hope it works out (I think everything needs to have a weight)
Possibly with 0 body you are swinging a cedar tree. 0 body stat would probably qualify as some enfeebled status (a la curse or whatever)
SoM just doesn't have enough armor to go around. I swear it's like they just made enough pieces for a KF1 remake?!? (and then lock you out of making more -- and if I could just re-skin the fuckers that would stretch for miles)
But you know... if however a name is attached to the armor, then the name has to be legendary... otherwise no one would know what to call it
As for the squire... I'm a sucker for realism. Even if you're taking on the forces of darkness (or whatever in this case) focused on an entire kingdom... at the least you're gonna need a bed to sleep in and food to eat, and if not a wife to look after the place while you're off to work, a squire.
^He won't say much. The arch demons will also be able to summon him for you to their lairs (so you can easily equip for the elements) ...and probably they will take all your HP and MP for the job
Anything more populated than a ghost town is too much in any self respecting KF game anyway. For every NPC I add, I could scratch two. Of course I found the ASSESS guy (I even mentioned him like 3 or 4 posts back / moving him to the starting courtyard... instead of a literal hole in the wall!!)
Who else would be willing to quarantine themselves with a champion than his squire and an old man soon to die anyway??
I think I will add a number of monster NPCs though. If that is I can make that work somehow (you have a logman already in DoM so I'm hoping that will work)
PS: I don't think there is room to really explain Sonellian via his equipment anyway... Just what the equipment actually does (the player needs to know after all... and your descriptions already contain so much)
I'm planning on seriously reworking three or four points of the game event wise for the remix. Also I think I'm going to completely remake the Wind Lair from scratch, because it just doesn't feel like wind enough. I will probably recycle the Wind Lair map as a castle dungeon (defacto Dark Lair) ...and I'm thinking of adding a mid-game-boss to that map (who has Mithras captive... but is also captive himself)
I also have special plans for the Light Armor which will be the fourth priority after reworking the final battle (which might require four more mini-maps based on combination of elementals which require gaining the favor of two arch demons to unlock... the total of 8 maps will each have a piece of Light equipment unlockable with a light key which the four arch demons cough up sometime around the point you get the prism of whatever... only Light Armor will prove virtually useless because it protects against light -- not dark... so it must have a special purpose... ah complexity)
