Just a few things I'd like to clear up about the mechanics of when you get the +20 friendship and what prevents you from losing friendship. 1. If a villager has a conversation that lasts multiple clicks, do you need to go through the whole thing, or just the first one? 2. Does talking to a villager at a seasonal event count? My guess initially was yes, since there frequently isn't any other way to reach them on the day of a festival due to the area being cut off; however, I know that it doesn't count for the introductions quest, so I'm not sure. 3. What about non-seasonal (eg heart) events? 4. Does interacting with a shopkeeper (Clint, Pierre, etc) to buy things count as talking to them?
Just the first thing. As long as you interact with them to get the dialogue box up, you get the points. I don't believe it does - I can't confirm this however. I might test this out on a spare save file I have and see if the relationship figures increase in the save file after talking to someone once at a festival. Will let you know. As in, do you get friendship points with talking to someone during a heart event? If that's what you mean (clarify if not), then no you do not. You have to actively seek them out after the event if you hadn't already talked to them. Buying things does not, talking to them directly and not interacting with the shop counter to open the buy/sell screen.
Thank you! That's everything. The first and last ones were the only ones that'll have an impact on how I play; while it'd be nice to know about festivals, that's still only going to be a couple days a season, so it isn't a big deal if I don't know for sure.
What about in the heart events where you're given dialogue choices. Say...if you answer right in Leah's 4 heart event, will you gain more relationship points, or what? Also...what about the dialogue questions they ask as you talk to them in town (Abby about her hair, etc.)?
I assume (based on stuff on the wiki) that it doesn't count as talking to them during the day with respect to the +20/-2, but that certain dialogue options get their own unique friendship bonuses.
Far as I know talking to them in a season event does not count. But unsure of that. However what I do know is it does not count towards that initial quest to meet everyone. That you have to seek them out on your own time mostly.
Yeah, I run through and talk to everyone in every event anyway, because...well...it can't hurt, right? ^^
I can confirm that I did not complete the introductions quest for year 1 of Spring. During the egg festival I was able to have a dialog with everyone there. The next day after the festival I checked my introductions quest and it was still uncompleted.
Its actually really hard to get a small reduction (Ranging from 20 to a whopping 6 hearts lost When you reject penny in the bathhouse event) Because,its easy to define if the dialog was rood or not.
Yeah for the most part it's clear what not to choose. I mostly mean the questions of like Lewis and Demetrius where they ask your opinion. Sorry Lewis, I think you're being dumb and should be open about your relationship. Demetrius, you know damn well your wife did not mean tomatoes when she asked for some fruit, gtfo! I'm happy I don't have to play to their bullshit and lose a bunch of hearts. At least I have not noticed a reduction.
If there's normally a reduction for the "wrong" responses here...then I'm guessing it's probably around 1-2 days of "speaking to them" at most, if it's not noticeable. Penny's though...that's way noticeable. I'll NEVER be able to reject her, cause I don't want to break her heart and see that crying face portrait. ;_;
I was like,Demetrius,even though its scientifically proven,DO YOU EAT TOMATOES LIKE A FREAKING APPLE?!
i wouldnt want to buy a plastic bag full of tomatoes if i wanted to prove my point,i think i overdosed him with coffee.
