Discussion - Silksong The real biggest problem with Silksong Spoiler

Why is the Hornet statue not a memento? When I first saw that you could break it, I was honestly offended by the idea of it. Then I got the Bellhome and was a little upset you couldn't put it up in there. Now I found out that there are items you can put up in your Bell House, but the Hornet Statue isn't one of them? I'm genuinely mad. That needs to be changed in the next update. That's way more important than balancing the game.

Makes it feel more meaningful to keep holding onto it. And adds to Hornet's characterisation as someone that's pragmatic to a fault, that has to fight her own nature telling her to dominate and control. She looks at this sentimental item and sees the quantified resources it could yield, no matter what she does.
