As you know, there is no Danforth in RPG. Do you like his absence?

If you double tapped escape, he wouldn't show up. I thought he was a nice touch.

I did like Danforth as an oddball salesman, but can see how he might have confused or angered some people.

Some sort of option of whether to see a generic sell screen or Danforth's office would be nice in future games, but it would require the coding of an option, two sell screens and not just one, and someone to voice act for Danforth (either the person who did his voice previously or some New Danforth).

(I voted Yes.)

I feel you should just be able to have a non-Danforth option, and otherwise enjoy Danforth screaming at you about things.

I have to admit that I find the entire Danforth shtick to be an extremely creative and novel concept for persuading people to purchase the game.
He needs to come back. (Was he fired?)

What was confusing about Danforth?

EDIT: The above post seems to have changed, therefore rendering this post nonsense.

Maybe he wasn't confusing, but it got on my nerves when he didn't give me any more options besides the "boss" and others. Or maybe I'm just crazy.

He was ok, but too repetitive. I'd rather see him improved than removed... for example, he could download new lines and even maybe new speech options from the server, and surprise me from time to time. Maybe poll my opinion on the new holds, or that DROD RPG game everyone are talking about. Or just simply ask me how was my day. You know, something new to give him depth.

And for all those anti-salesman people, an option to disable. Then everyone would be happy.

Not a bad idea, actually. It's not like holds get rated all the time by lots of people.

Since Danforth is merely a salesman whose only ambition is to persuade the player to purchase the game, perhaps (the cartoon version of) Mike Rimer should be posing the question about rating a hold.
I'd find that far more amusing and compelling, actually.

Ooh. DRODLIZA! "Why do you say trapdoors under tar can bite you?" "Tell me more about wisp." Now that might make me tolerate Danforth.

Hello, I am D.A.N.F.I.F.T.H. Virtual Sales Protocol Alpha. You may ask "What kind of Arnold are you?", and I will answer. I am like Arnold the Governor, in that I expect your support and vote of confidence by purchasing what I have to sell you. But I am also like Arnold the Terminator. I suggest you buy, and we need never discuss why that is. From this day forward, let it be known that Danforth and his human idiom based sales methods are obsolete.

All of those who hate Danforth :

Would it be scarier if there would be 39th Slayer,not Danforth?

39th Slayer : "I will slay you if you dont buy this game!"
"I will stand behind your window"

Just thinking about it!

I didn't like Danforth the way he was presented, but I liked the person. It would have been nice to see him as a character selling stuff for greckles.

Danforth's room is located in TCB hold (in inaccessible area of course to protect from angry players ). So he just left behind .

The only thing I had found confusing about Danforth was that I had initially been under the mistaken impression (for a few weeks, actually) that he was the CEO of Caravel games. Oops...My sincere apologies to Mr. Rimer.

Is it actually possible to access the room from the editor after mastery? Cuz that would be cool.

The Hold is 'Only You', so no accessing after Mastery.
