Instead, his self directed monologue openly claims that his only regret is not being able to kill the pups while the Alpha watches, as a way of gloating, and he refuses the crown due to a simple lack of interest. By contrast, in Overgrowth's rewritten Lugaru campaign, Turner never has any such moment of introspection or gradual descent into cynicism. but he refuses it and decides to roam the island to search for a new purpose, partially due to his state of mind. In the end, he succeeds in defeating the conspiracy, and is offered the crown by the king's guards as a reward. but he briefly stops to question his own morality when he decides to kill the Alpha Wolf's family, including the pups. When he discovers that their deaths were a small part of a much larger problem started by the corrupt king, and that one of his close friends was directly involved, he gradually becomes colder and angrier as he seeks to uproot the conspiracy, and starts to show some antisocial tendencies. In Lugaru, Turner goes on a vengeful quest to kill the raiders after they murder his entire family. Adaptation Personality Change: Turner got hit with this hard.

As a result, persons new to the Lugaru universe can be totally unaware that this moment had any meaning beyond a simple boost in power. Turner takes it anyway without any explanation given beyond the fact that armor is. It doesn't even look different than any other armor. In the updated Lugaru campaign included with Overgrowth, Aspen's armor is not stated, implied, nor shown to be important at all.

This is because the armor the boss had was stolen from Turner in the first place.

Adaptation Explanation Extrication: In Lugaru, Turner takes the armor worn by Aspen after killing him, despite having ignored the similar suit of armor worn by a mook he killed earlier.

See the headings for Adaptation Explanation Extrication, Adaptation Personality Change, After the End, Gender Flip, The Kingslayer, Lack of Empathy, and Rewrite below for details. it's actually a complete rewrite that alters or outright removes a plethora of details and plot points of the original game, while leaving only the central conflict intact.

Adaptational Context Change: Overgrowth contains a 'port' of Lugaru's main campaign.
