Now I've no idea about modding and I'm sure this is a bit of a complicated request. But I'd really love to actually have characters in game react to the wooing of a specific person based upon their relationship to them and their reactions and randomized statements about that person after you've married them and had a child. Again, I've no idea how this would work or if it is even possible. I just feel somewhat disappointed that after marrying Sebastian, no one comments on it, not even his family! I just feel a little incomplete about it.
I hope that this will come in an official update someday! I totally agree though, it makes marriage feel like it isn't really apart of the game, but rather something disconnected and separate. If it never gets put in game, I hope that a mod does eventually show up to make marriage feel more immersive! ;o;
I think that'd be amazing, while I do love Stardew Valley so far, I do feel like the romance/event scenes are sort of lacking in comparison to the rest of the game... Or perhaps I'm just too cynical, given I was such a huge fan of the Harvest Moon series! It would feel more immersive if it were possible
I felt the exact same way when I got married. Like, I was engaged to be married in three days and his family didn't have anything to say. I didn't get congratulated by townsfolk I was close to or anything. If this could be made in a mod, or better yet official, I would be super stoked!
I know that this isn't exactly relevent to the topic but it would be cool if your spouse gave your character a unique perk, and different for each possible candidate. Like Harvey, loose stamina slower or half price on medicine and recustation.
I've just read CA's thought on this on his twitter a few hours ago. He said he was thinking of something along the line, but in the end, didn't want people to choose a marriage candidate simply for the perk he/she provides.
Speaking of perks, I think it would be cool if your spouse kept their job when you got married. For example, I haven't seen Sebastian doing his programming work from my farm since we got hitched. He helps out in the morning occasionally, but I do most of the farm work, and I think it would be cool if he got to keep his career. Maybe a quest or something could be done to set up an internet connection on our farm, then on some days there is a deposit of money from his job. (Could do something similar with other spouses, such as selling art or gadgets, or whatever else they would be doing.)
Yeah, perks and buffs seems to be against what CA intended it to be, so I'm not counting on that. But townspeople's reaction? YES. I really want to. Especially some related people (Emily regarding Haley, Sam regarding Sebastian and vice versa, George and Evelyn regarding Alex, etc)
Well yeah in rune factory 4 they are so many guilt trip lol like when you starting relationship with multiple girl at the same time and some girl will start guilt trip you and make you feel really bad doing that but it really good it make me feel like i done something bad and it should be this way in stardew we can just woo anyone and kiss all girl with no consequence
