Quentins new power

[mental sand]

Since quentins powers are sorta a mixture of leaders and detective, they seem unbalanced, very disposable, and out of character. Here is my idea for his concept power move
Suspection: Whenever a kid gets captured and has their little tombstone (whatever you like to call it) Quentin can go near it, and when he gets near it, a message will pop up saying the person who is the neighbor.
This should replace the speeding mechanic that he has
And now we have to update the surveillance move to make it a little more consistent to Quentin and here's how I make with my own idea
Surveillance: When Quentin gets near the basement door, he writes down "how many locks are there" and "what kind of color are there for the locks" everytime a person unlocks one of the locks in the basement door, Quentin needs to update his surveillance power, to catch up on how many are there now, and what color are there.

i think the ability to see who is the neighbor would ruin the whole point of not wanting to reveal your identitiy

[mental sand]

The revealing of your identity would only occur to that one Quentin player who investigated the body, this won't affect other players at all

[lethal beacon]

But he will just tell everyone who Neighbor is and everyone would Trust him because of the ability

[mental sand]

Not really, because there would be some that wouldn't even talk. And the plus side, most players in the game commonly don't trust each player, and would just attack the one that screams "neighbor" to someone.

[cosmic flicker]

if there are multiple quentins they can easily know who it is

[mental sand]

I guess

[cosmic flicker]

also, people would suspect the player that was shown to quentin more even if hes trying to trick them

Just give Quentin Cameras xD that would fit him perfectly

[mental sand]

No, ok?

[ancient fiber]

Cameras are to basic we need something more.. unique

[quaint idol]

idea: quentin could see a replay of the last 12 seconds of a explorers life.

cameras? basic? im sure it wouldn't be a big issue. The surveillance ability is incredibly basic, and replacing the ability with cameras just makes the ability a bit more interesting. The cameras could still have the same function as the original ability if you set up a camera near the basement door, but you can still use the camera for other purposes.

[quasi raven]

good idea. The replay should hide the identity of the kids and remove player names so you dont have an exact idea of who the neighbor is.

[quaint idol]

yes

[mental sand]

That works

[quaint idol]

e

[ancient fiber]

Actually way better way way better

[cosmic flicker]

that would instantly reveal the identitiy too

[cosmic flicker]

cameras would be good for knowing if the neighbor camps

[quasi raven]

👍

[ancient fiber]

Not if its hidden as quenstion marks

Like a humanoid question mark

[lethal beacon]

Cameras in sn would be so good

If Quentin Places camera in right Place he can see Who is the neighbor like u guys want and it gives neighbor a chance to Manipulate someone he want to kill to Leave place with camera

So cameras over Hot news

[quasi raven]

that may be op so i would say you should be able to destroy cameras like in the old games

and they can be repaired with the hammer

[lethal beacon]

That's awesome idea and should balance them

• I think Quentin would have multiple cameras maybe 2 and he will have perk that would give him at level 1 one more camera and level 2 two more that he will have 4 with golden perk like in hn2 just delete Hot news and This Key Ability and give him ability to Place cameras and second Ability to get his monitor from hn2 and just see

[quasi raven]

i dont think they would be that generous with the upgrades, most upgrades are useless. I was thinking that you would start with one camera at the start of the round and the cameras are hidden around the map, you can have a max of 4 cameras like in hello neighbor 2

and the cameras could be inventory items

the monitor shouldn't be an inventory item though since you already have to carry a crowbar with you almost everywhere you go.

[lethal beacon]

Both are really good ideas

But I don't think that more cameras perk would be generous like we have more ammo perk to scout but like you said monitor Shouldn't be inventory item for Sure

Is should be like Inventor Metal detector

[quasi raven]

maybe instead, cameras can have battery. and there can be a more battery perk.

[lethal beacon]

No matter how cameras would be implemented they have so much opportunity to be one of the most fun things in sn

[quasi raven]

i really hope they add them, cameras were my favorite part of hello neighbor 2

ill probably make my own post on ability reworks for Quentin. I have a lot of ideas to improve his seemingly rushed ability set.

[alpine sorrel]

Suspection is a neat idea, but his dash is the one decent ability he has right now. Replacing it with something else would just make him even weaker than before. And as for surveillance, it just seems like a slightly more inconvenient version of the ability he has now, which already isn’t too helpful to begin with

[lethal beacon]

Ye dash should Stay beacouse of his stamina
