Hmm, I just had a thought... What if Yorick's rework took some inspiration from Pikmin?
Anybody here play that Gamecube gem? I absolutely love it. Great new IP at the time, with gameplay that really had nothing all too similar (AFAIK). Pure whimsical fun.
Now, while watching a playthrough of it on Youtube, I had a thought about whether or not some gameplay elements from Pikmin could be used for Yorick's eventual rework. Maybe he could scoop Ghouls out of the ground and use them with his other abilities, or something like that?
Anybody want to contribute their thoughts?
