All the bachelors are lame?
Am I the only one who is disappointed by the bachelors? I feel like the dev must have been a straight male. The bachelorettes are much more interesting and attractive.
Theres the dumb jock, the nerdy stoner who looks like hes from Dragonball Z, the poet whos basically out of a bad romance novel, the pedo-stache doctor devoid of any personality, and an EMO? The emo is the most popular one?! How?? He's annoying. Emos are perpetually 14-16, I cant imagine marrying this guy and looking at his stupid haircut as we grow old together.

What about a blacksmith's apprentice? A mysterious fisherman? A farmhand?

Generally agree, I find the bachelors to be... less than compelling. On the other hand, I haven't done as much friendship-building with them as I have with the rest of the town, so I dunno if they get... less dull?

I agree that Sebastian's popularity confuses me, but I'm also perpetually confused by how Abigail is as popular as she is, too, so what do I know?

(I like Harvey, but I wouldn't call him a wealth of personality. Probably because he most closely reminds me of, well, me. And I wouldn't call myself a wealth of personality, either.)

It appears to me that the people who are available for marriage appear to be less then the age of 20. You could also categorize the females into cliques from a younger age group as well in my eyes.

The characters are a lot deeper if you get their heart levels up, unlock cutscenes, and start exploring their storylines.

You say you see a bunch of boring, flat characters? I say you haven't delved into their plotlines, and are taking their 0-2 heart dialogue on the surface, running with it, and casting a wide net of judgement based on that alone. Even in real life, what you get from a person you've just barely met and know nothing about is a 2-dimensional mask. It takes work to start unlocking those more complicated layers.

*SPOILERS*

Alex apologizes for acting like a dumb jock at somewhere around 4-6 hearts, and admits he's been using it as a defense mechanism because he's self-conscious about his intelligence level being high enough to get anywhere in his life (and he also admits he's probably not cut out for pro sports). It's something he turned to because he had an abusive, alcoholic father who constantly told him he'd never amount to anything, and he clung to the sports concept like a life preserver. He starts moving on from it at as an identity focal point from then on. That's just one example.

The "emo kid" that keeps griping about country life and how he can't wait to abandon his family and move to the big city with his motorcycle? He's more than willing to settle down with you and embrace farm life in full, as long as he's given a loving person in his life that he doesn't have to constantly feel like a second-class sibling to (he's got issues with Maru being the "favorite.") There's another.

I haven't gotten very far with Sam or Elliot, but I have to imagine they evolve in similar ways once you start working at their heart levels. Sam, at least, has started talking about his war veteran father, how he worries whether or not he's going to be riddled full of bullets before he comes home, and demonstrating a genuine protective side over his little brother, Vincent, at 4 hearts. You're not working hard enough to get to know the characters. You're not MEANT to get anything but a flat, 2-dimensional character for ANY villager (weddable or not) if you aren't working those heart levels up and don't do the gameplay effort of befriending them first, my friend.



.... that all said, the only bachelor I found genuinely unappealing (I hate to say it) is the sensitive doctor, Harvey. That mustache is LOATHESOME. I hate it. It's gotta go. I know it's shallow, and they're a bunch of pixelated sprites, but, hey, I can extrapolate a generic "real person" appearance from those pixels in my imagination, and Harvey's not remotely attractive, haha.

I'm finding Alex the "most" interesting one of the sack. Any ways, would be nice to have more people to meet and more ways to interact whit them, I know this is not the Sims and it's not a date simulator and I'm just going to finish the first year of gameplay, so I suppose that I still have many things to do. Please, no spoilers :)

Edit: Vincent is funny!!

How dare u say that about SeBAEstian

I feel like the most boring female bachelorette is the most popular anyway. (Penny. *Prepares to be attacked*).

I pretty much agree with Lurlex, you have to see their heart events to really get more of their personalties than the ones you see on the surface of someone you just say hi to once in a while.

Yeah, I probably will enjoy them more as I get to know them. I didnt instantly have a favorite I wanted to pursue, like in most harvest moon type games Ive ever played, so I plan on making friends with all of them so I can decide.

Why cant they be mysterious without actively being unappealing? Its great that they become more appealing as you get to know them, but still.

Hah honestly Seb says so many things that are such a downer lol. But he pretty much lives in a house where his sister is doted on and he's kind of always second place. But after marrying him he's SOO much happier.

And I feel like Alex has the most growth. If/When I start a new game I will probably go with him next.

I think it's because ConcernedApe wanted them to be more like 'real' people than the characters in Harvest Moon (say what you will about them, but they were a zonky lot). Most of us hide our true selves behind a persona we put up for strangers, co-workers, neighbors, etc. Most of us don't do that by being a lone wolf or an enigmatic stranger -- we do it by putting on a fake emotional face and adopting an "I don't know you" flat personality; usually friendly on the surface, sometimes hostile, but never our true selves. We only open up to the ones in our lives that make the effort to get close.

There are mysterious people out there, sure, but what is mysterious? It's people that are quiet and never answer questions directly. Also, don't forget that "mysterious" only is generally applied to people that are blessed with the genes for physical attractiveness -- when a person has exactly the same personality type but hasn't been graced with the good looks, others usually describe them more along the lines of "shy" at best ... or all too often, "creepy." :-/

You honestly cant say that with only 5 hours of play time, its not that kind of game. You have to keep going, get to know the charaters and then you see more of their personalitys(kinda like in rl when you have to talk to someone alot to know what kind of person they are). Lurlex knows whats up.

I hope so. Like I said, I haven't focused as much on the bachelors, but I still have 4-8 hearts with all of them (Harvey's at 8, Sebastian is at least 6, Alex is 5-6, Sam is 4-6, Elliott is 4+). I'm pretty much pro-Harvey, Alex can go eat glass, and the other three are bland and dull. So here's hoping they all get better.

The bachelorettes are all at 10/10 hearts. And I mostly like them all. Except Abigail, whom I find mostly dull with a side order of distaste. And unlike the bachelors, there's no opportunity left for her to get better.

I have a bias against Maru. I've dealt with at least one "Daddy's girl" in my life which kind of poisoned me against her (you end up dealing with both the girl who constantly wants a white knight protector to carry her over every little mud pool in her life, and also the father who you're constantly apologizing to for not being good enough for his little girl).

Also, I'm fond of Sebastian, and I don't like how complacent she is with just letting him wallow in her shadow.

Some might think I'm injecting too much real-life into the game world, but meh to you if you do ... these are RPGs. I'm playing the role, as the acronym goes, and having fun with it. :-p

I think that's fair. I have a hard time getting fired up about Maru as well (probably for much the same reasons). She was a solid "fourth place" in my Bachelorette Book before her ten-heart event, and honestly, her ten-heart event probably made things actively worse as far as my opinion went.

I definitely haven't gotten to ten with her yet. Maybe I should just to see what you're alluding to, haha.

I am definitely disappointed with the bachelors in this game. I have gotten almost every bachelor/ette to 10 hearts now (Sam, and Alex are still at 9) and I'm not impressed.

I didn't like the portraits in the game so I replaced them so now Dr. Harvery is more like Dr. Hottie (lol) but he honestly has NO personality outside of being a doctor. All I got was that he is scared of heights and he likes airplanes... No thanks ? :/

As for Sebastian, he needs therapy or something. I am not attracted in any way to someone who is constantly acting depressed. He never takes a step outside of the trope that was given to him.

Alex I hated from the beginning. I don't like people who act like they are better than everyone else. Stuck up and thinking their **** don't stank. Same thing goes for Haley. I really don't care that they start to grow out of it because the damage has already been done!

Sam is just childish.. Nothing really wrong with him per se but as an adult irl I really just don't connect with him.

As for the girls I really liked Leah for a bit but now I don't know if I want to marry her.... Abigail started to get really cute in just daily conversation and although I initially thought she was childish like Sam.... I find her at the top of my list as far as marriage candidates go. Then again I might marry Elliott.. He is definitely a cutie after changing his portrait and I think he is the most mature male and probably the one I most connect with.

Playing Harvest Moon games I'm used to being more interested in bachelorettes than bachelors.. I always felt like more time was spent on them and this game isn't any different. At least in this game I can be a female avatar :)

Kateriix, out of curiosity, which portrait mod are you using? I'm always on the lookout for a good one.
