Do Married characters lose all their Character?

[Evir]

Pun non-intended, but question is after marrying most characters do.. they just cease to exist in the world, it almost seems?

I personally Married Abigail and just noticed how generic and almost cruel it seems, just sits there waiting for me every day, has no "life" it seems outside of waiting on me. Which is something I really really at least myself in a relationship would never want.

It says on the wikipedia that Penny, starts working at the library after marriage which seems like a good thing, more like what I was expecting from most characters.

I'm only a few days in with Abby, but just wondering if theres these kind of things with all the marriable characters or is it just unfinished content?






It just seems after marriage the story arc dies, nothing like getting to explore the mines with Abigail or something like that. Which is a bit disappointing, though of course I hope possibly might be a large addressed topic in future updates?

You end up learning alot about a character stalking them to all their locations to give them gifts over the months and listen to their conversations, for all that to end abruptly after marriage is just so eh...

It's the groundwork i'd say, there's a lot of places it can be improved on and I certainly hope the developer does in the future.

I also agree with you that Abigail in particular feels lifeless after marriage, some of the dialogue makes it feel like she knows she's supposed to be happy and she's got a stable marriage but there's so much that she doesn't like that she's miserable.

Many others have said it but the things that make you fall for your spouse are lost after you marry them, no more night time interactions or walks to the beach. Heck, no more interactions with other townsfolk outside of events, the other day Abigail commented "I wonder how everyone else is doing", like she couldn't leave the house and go visit them.

Basically seems about right, Groundwork. Really hope its on their list to improve rather then cash from the game and move onto the next.

I'd be very happy if the NPC interaction systems were flushed out a bit more to "stir" up the monotony and add some depth to the game. Regular events that happen with spouses etc.

Any yes exactly its driving me nuts xD... and its only been a few days, its like wow... I'm a total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for marrying you before the systems are complete lol... at least hopes the systems are more flushed out.

I would love for some unique traits are assigned to each person, unique events, and some shared ones between all the marriages, like exploring, going into the mines, etc

It's one dev, and for what it's worth, he's said recently that he plans to expand content in as many areas of the game as he can in both an interview with PC Gamer and a few times on his twitter. Marriage is specifically one of the things he's pointed towards as being likely to happen sooner rather than later.

So your saying it is like real marrage :P

Jokes aside I agree they do seem really lifeless afterwards I mean they dont even do what they would normally do. Also no one mentions the whole being married thing. Your in-laws never mention it, in no event I seen does it change a single thing, and I have never heard a single comment from any char other then your wife.

[AvatarMan]

Out of curiousity for anyone who picked Maru as a wife, does Demetrius comment at all about your marriage? I found him to be extremely protective when I was building a relationship with her, even having an event where he passive aggressively threatened the player telling you to not interfere with her hopeful future. As much as I dislike him, I'd love to know if he kept that personality.

Edit: Nevermind.

I kinda figured was more/less a one man project, but I'd assume with the "success" of its sales(assumingly since front page of steam sales, and tonnes of youtubers publicizing it), they like many projects like this I've seen can always hire a few extra helpers/writers.

Again good to hear, glad I'm not alone in the observations of what seems a bit lacking in areas. And definately look forward to updates in this game

Abigail is always in one of three places. The guinea pig, the kitchen, or the porch. Sometimes she'll walk around the house and stop in front of some furniture and watch it. All day. I feel bad for her. She seems happy, but never does anything or goes anywhere.

Which is funny since Pierre and Caroline never mention it once, like ever. I was totally expecting some sort of comment during the ceremony but nope xD... just totally take my Teenage daughter

Ya I feel alot of motivation gone playing now like I enjoyed chasing after her (looking on the wiki usually where I could find her, be it the graveyard or w/e. Now I always know where she is since basically doesn't have a life anymore, I'd almost prefer keeping her at 10 hearts and just leave it like that.. infact I likely would have if I knew it was going to dull the game this much after that.

I get what your saying. After I married Sebastian he literally does nothing except make breakfast and occassionally take care of stuff on the farm. I get it - he was a hermit to begin with but it just seems lacking. Like at least show him walking around the farm or town or something.

Tweet was released saying he planned on improving marriage conversations.

thats nice... I hope he amps up the characters lives after marriage as well... like have them visit relatives... go to the beach during teh summer... walk aroudn teh farm... go to teh store... maybe go to teh bar... jsut make them feel alive again hehe...

[Evir]

Ya I read that on the twitter just now, looks like a improvement;

Also read through entire Q&A, and definately respect the dev for wanting to continue on alone as much as possible, though do hope he isn't biting off more then he can chew now. Will be a rough few months are the error fighting goes xD.. srs his twitter is just exploded.

Marrying the novellist is a bit more bearable, at least they work from home anyhow. Seems sad that they don't visit the area they used to love, though.

[Zariah]

I feel the same way about Leah. After marriage she essentially just mopes around the house all day every day. Extra post-marriage dialogue would be great, but she *really* needs to actually go places. Visit the tavern once in a while. Go to the shops. Other peoples' houses. Etc etc.
