- The worms seem to be a bit deeper in the mine

- You don't feel any rumbling or hear any worm noises
- The letter in the kennel mentions Wilbur sneaking back out into the mine periodically, tunneling through walls, etc.


Well whatever it was it didn't seem very human to me.

And the tunnel dwelling dude in the kennel did........?

LOL

LOL whats who i meant in the first place. I know the worms aren't human Tongue. Then again it could just be clarence messing with Philip's head...

RE: The spider-eating guy - gandalf91 - 05-16-2011

Oh, gotcha. Tongue Just go back to the kennel level of the game and read the notes. The guy crawling through the walls is Wilbur Friske, former overseer of Shelter. Wink All of that was reality, not just part of Philip's waning sanity.

Lol well I guess Wilbur had morphed into a dog or something, sure sounded like one. That bit took me a while to work out...

RE: The spider-eating guy - gandalf91 - 05-17-2011

I wouldn't really say morphed. He just started acting like one and began adapting to do so. No doubt grew stronger teeth and claws..but I doubt his appearance was much different otherwise. That is all up to debate though.

I actually have a whole theory about him I thought up while playing the second time around if you're interested to hear. I was thinking of making a thread out it but never got around to it.

Ok whats the theory? I'm intrigued now haha. Just don't think there was enough much information on Wilbur to have one...

He was rather insignificant though...

Well in my opinion he added the extra ''spice'' to make Overture intresting. So to me he was very significant.

RE: The spider-eating guy - gandalf91 - 05-22-2011

So what was his name then?

RE: The spider-eating guy - spukrian - 05-22-2011

I looked it up: the Spider Eater's name is Dr Roberts.

And the report in the kennel was written by someone named Garett Quinn.
