Who are you romancing?

[darthokkata]

The game really seems like it wants you to romance Emily.

She seems to be the easiest to build friendship points with because a lot of the early quests give her a head start on the rest of the marriage candidates, male or female.

I'm personally partial to Nurse Breast Physics. I've got her heart rating highest and am going to go for marriage with her in my current playthrough. I really just like her design and don't find her voice annoying.

Sonia reminds me too much of a Bonetown NPC. [A 2008 AO rated game, google it, and obviously NSFW.]

I don't care for the Church lady either. The whole thing seems kind of cult-ish and that throws me off.

I think the slim body type looks a bit weird. It does kind of fit the artstyle, but I think it's the legs that throw me off. They look a bit too skinny on the slim bodytype for some reason.

I also don't care about the marriage and dating bonuses much, the friendship bonuses are enough that it's not a huge deal to miss out on the marriage bonus stuff. That might matter more if I ever decide to do a min/max playthrough, and I won't bother with that until the game is finished probably.

Anyway, who is your romance target, and why?

[fhqwhgads]

I don't really dislike any of the girls, but I admit the way the game seemed to push Emily on me super hard early on almost put me off her. She's still cute enough though, but I decided to just be best friends with her instead of lovers. Though I have to say the way Sam always calls my character "kid" makes it hard to see me hooking up with her. You usually don't call someone you see as dateable "kid", even in a good-natured way!

Ended up going with Phyllis, gifting her bandages from bandirats, then simple ointments once I got the cotton farm going. I like to imagine my character was immediately enchanted by her figure, then her ambition and competence.

Edit: And I must say it felt good to complete Phyllis's quest line while married to her. I really don't mind spending 50k on my wife like that (I could've upgraded my house...)! Hopefully one day the devs will actually move her over to her own clinic and have her based around there instead of staying the local clinic once the questline is complete and South Block gets a little more attention.

ahem... In my defence, it's hard to decide when they aren't all fully voice acted yet ;)

I'm too lazy for that.

I might eventually go for a 100% game, but it won't be until it's finished and out of early access.

ahem... Note: It's soul *mate*. As in singular...

But if they aren't complaining. ?B)

Don't think I'll ever see that in my world, thanks for the pics.

Cheers..!

Because of the lack of deeper and more interesting personalities I am not dating anyone :/ Kinda miss a Stardew Valley'esque touch :c

Like feeding the gamer girl Gems. She loved eating those!


I am/was aiming at Sam but with the Helper Chest...might go back towards Emily and just leave Sam as my Resilence Buffer. Phyllis is another good choice but eh.

From what im understanding it seems like the spouse doesnt move in...why? If you married Arlo who seems to be the Civil Corp's local branch Head, I can understand if he stayed at his place at the Civil Corp office a few nights, but wtf? Even work addicted Detectives in TV shows go home sometimes! And Emily! She lives across the road! Though I guess Granny Sophie is getting on in years...she should just teach us the Pumpkin Pie recipe and then quietly pass on.

[dtt.scanner]

are you actually going back to your house at night, or staying out until you pass out? If you go inside in the evening, your spouse should show up and go to bed there.

I'm kind of doing what ggg is doing, but there are only 10 villagers with Lover's bonuses. I will stay BFF with everyone else. It does pay to get the lovers bonuses. I haven't committed to that though -- so far I just have Phyllis soulmated. It's still possible to marry without breaking anyone's heart. In case you don't know, if you do soul mate with everyone and then marry one of them, the others will drop to 3 hearts (Friend). You will have to work them back up from there if they have Good or Best Friend bonuses.

I will probably not marry because I really like all of the melee bonuses from the Civil Corps and Phyllis. If I were to marry, it would probably be Phyllis or Sam (Resilience).

I think Sonia is cute with the feather in her hair, but I can't stand her accent. Also no bonuses.

I prefer Ginger: 2k income each month and random food item on some mornings

Hmmm... I found Stardew Valley a bit lacking too. I liked much more the characters and interactions in World's Dawn.

And in Portia, I'm romancing Emily, because she's cute and well, I meet her every day.

I don't really care at all about the bonuses.

I'm torn between Petra and Arlo.

I like them both.

Does anyone know if Mali is romancable?

[PredatorBeing]

The social list doesnt show Mali or Dana so they may just be temporary visitors to Portia. Or perhaps, with enough people asking they will add them. Mali kicks a$$ in the ruins, it would be nice to marry her and have her help in future ruins. Husband and wife team.

For now, I'm married to Emily just for cheaper fertilizer.

[parrotletOvO]

I'm looking between Aadit and Mint. Aadit seems like a nice guy and has a nice voice (the like 1 time you hear it QwQ) and Mint looks neat. I haven't fully made up my mind about Mint but I'll see how the quests and stuff go.

Arlo seemed nice too, but he meets up late at night with Nora. I like her too, but same issue. I like a lot of the bachelorettes, there's more selection there than the bachelors. Particularly I like Nora, Petra, and Ginger (based on looks, don't know much of her personality). Mei seems nice too, but I'm rarely ever able to catch her running around.

[parrotletOvO]

Plus can you imagine how strong of a couple the builder is with Aadit? Between him who works at a tree farm and cuts down lumber and you who spends all day mining, building, and cutting down trees you have some pretty good upper body strength. Paulie approves

I hope they add more for Aadit soon

When you thought that current IRL social behavior suggest you that you should go for romance and true love, and not down to earth material considerations... lol
