Is there a point to getting to know people? Well, other than the bachelors/bachelorettes for marriage, the other people give you friendship recipes, some of which can be helpful later on. Also, if you're an achievement hunter you have to learn them all so that you can get the achievement for cooking them all.
Marriage is just a nice little aside. Occasionally your spouse will make you food, water crops, feed animals, mend fences and so on. But, one of the biggest perks for getting married is the stardrop you can get from your spouse.
Energy becomes much easier to manage later on as you level up. Bringing food with you to the mines or when you're out chopping wood helps a lot. If it's early game and you're low on money just pick some berries, take some leeks, or craft a couple of snacks. If you have the money, just buy some salads or whatever from the pub.
I've got to say, I'm kind of glad that people don't stop me in the middle of what I'm doing to talk to me. I'd rather not be interrupted while I'm trying to do stuff. The socialization in this game is simple, but it works. Just take the time to chat with people.
I'm enjoying the game don't get me wrong, I guess some aspects are just not what I expected.
I didn't really socialize much until my first winter when things slowed down a bit and I didn't have much to do aside from fishing, mining, and waiting for my jellies and wines to finish. It's a little hard to make time for it when you first get into the game becuase it just feels like there's so much to do. But, waiting until winter to really get into gift giving and chatting seemed to work for me.
LOL! XD
As for raising it, there are cuts scenes. And at different levels, they give you Recipe's. Like Shane at 3 hearts gives you a recipe that turns crab pot fish into food that gives you a nice chunk of energy.
As for Energy, well, you can eat the crops you grow, or the fish you catch, or the food you pick up all over to refill. After maybe 1st Spring, Energy should managable. Time is more the issue. Otherwise, know your limits. Don;t plant a ton of crops if you can't/don't want to manage them. Trying to do a farm with 200 plots, with no sprinkers, no upgraded tools, your just asking to get burned out.
Yeah, marriage is kinda boring.
Just stack up on blackberries in the fall as a start for energy.
Go mining more often in the day then, plan the farm days and mine/fish days.
RNG is RNG.
Shane joined Joja, what did you think?
Reality is a hologram, life is an illusion.
I know some players who just concentrate on friending 1 or 2, then move on to some others, once youve got 3 hearts they open up much more and send gifts and recipies, some of the cut scenes are lovely.
Forage a lot for free berries/nuts/mushrooms to eat, and dont try to do everything at once. have fun.
You'd literally never get anything done.
I agree with this, but I could also see a little of the Animal Crossing style of interaction from New Leaf: when a villager wants to say something, an exclamation appears and you can choose to answer or ignore. It would be a neat little addition, but sometimes I get annoyed at that as well.
I agree with everyone else though, there is a lot to do but you don't have to do it at once. I save the mines until rainy days so I don't worry about crops and just go mining, or now that I've reached the end, fishing.
