Field Notes

This mod modifies logs to fit more towards the style that RoR1 presented. There will be some creative liberties taken, so there's new lore added that's not canon.

Tell me your thoughts on it.

Changes

Survivors

• General:
  • Survivors: Survivors from RoR1 will have their events lead to them joining the UES Contact Light (RoR1 ship that crashed).
• Commando
  • Kept as RoR2's Commando, instead of replacing with The Survivor
  • Log detailed to fit his skills
• Mercenary
  • Included previous log
  • Contracted to sneak into the ship to assassinate someone
• Engineer:
  • Removed seemingly unrelated lore, kept as a mention of his character
  • References unlock (ROR1: 40 drones)
  • Accepted contracted UES job to repair ship before and during the next shipment
• Huntress
  • Included previous log
  • References unlock (ROR1: 15 monster logs). I got a little lazy with the fake names though.
  • Chooses the UES Contact Light as one of the ships used for completing bounty.
  • 
• Artificer
  • Modified end of old log
  • References unlock, (ROR2: Stuck in time crystal)
• MUL-T
  • Unchanged, as its a RoR2 Survivor and the log seems fine enough with the reference to CHEF.
• REX
  • Unchanged. Seems to be fine.
• Loader
  • Log now references content from RoR1 and RoR2
  • Expanded log, removed references to The Captain
• Acrid
  • Unchanged, because there's no way I can write anything cooler.
• Captain
  • Unchanged. Should be fine to be kept as RoR2.
• Bandit
  • Replaced Safe Travels with Contact Light, with some adjustment. Rest of the log is cool enough to keep.
    • Considering merging the Rusted Key lore about the chests...
• Heretic
  • Kept log mostly intact, adjusted for better flow
  • Added a bit of story of her discovering the Contact Light in orbit
• Railgunner
  • Completely replaced her log with an edit of some weird copypasta i found online when i searched for railgunner copypasta.
    • I did this since there's very little that can be said about her lore to rewrite.
• Void Fiend
  • Interspliced a log detailing what I imagine The Survivor's first logbook entry would be upon crash landing.
    • I think it adds a much more somber feel to the log. Tell me what you think.
  •
