I'm trying to puzzle this out. Since Dirk takes an action to jump into play, that has to be triggered before going to story resolution, right? Wouldn't that mean that Burden Bearer's ability won't trigger? Or does the wording on Burden Bearer only care whether Burden Bearer was the only character committed at the comitment step?
Ah, I see your point.
The reason I think Dirk works with the Burden Bearer is the BB says "...where Burden Bearer WAS committed alone,..." Why use the word "was?" What would've happened in between the Terror Struggle and the Combat Struggle that would've removed the BB from the story? I take it the "was" is referring to some past event such as the act of committing to the story. For similar reasoning, I think Swimming in the Deep would combo well with BB.
Now, if it said "is" instead of "was," then I don't think Dirk (nor Swimming in the Deep) would combo well with the BB. In that case, your best way to leverage the BB would be to either add Terror struggles, give him Toughness, or give him some Combat icons. That's my interpretation, but I could be wrong.
I agree it works. But I don't think that it working is enough, it doesn't seem to me to be an especially strong or obvious combo.
I've tried to figure out why Dirk is unique. He's cool, but he's also pretty bad. Even non-unique, he wouldn't compete with Master of Myths.
