Arlo & The Flying Pigs

[Anomaly]

I've been planning on my character courting Arlo, though I've been letting things develop more organically as opposed to rushing into the relationship. Because of this, I wanted to wait for the "right time" for them to become an official couple, and feel like it just hasn't happened yet. Originally, I was planning for that time to be shortly after he fails the entrance exam for the Flying Pigs.

Arlo always spoke about how the entrance exam for the Flying Pigs was at the end of Fall, and after helping him train for the exam (and after telling him not to date Nora because he should be focusing on his goals), I thought there would be some sort of event or discussion about it once the end of Fall/beginning of Winter came around. But there wasn't; I thought he would at least mention passing/failing or it being difficult or something. Did I miss something? Or is there some sort of event that I haven't gotten to yet? We've already fought the Rogue Knight (the first time) and I'm about to build the Factory. Arlo is also almost at max hearts.

Also, just to be sure, there's no reverse-proposal event where a bachelor/bachelorette proposes a relationship/marriage, is there?

Well the thing is he only mentions failing it the fall BEFORE he meets The Builder. Obviously he must fail it again as he's still around how ever many years you play ... IOW he never makes it, the poor baby. He never talks about it, so feel free to play it as if he's just too ashamed to talk about it.

Mint proposes .... I think someone else does also but I can't think of who off the top of my head. No one else however.

Keep in touch Anomaly; Would love to hear any updates, I'm on your side!

Later in the story someone will tell you he did terrible.

Gust also proposes to you, if you play your cards right. Some characters will reject your initial proposal and force you to go through some quests before you can marry them (Phyllis, Mint, Ginger, off the top of my head), and then Emily has a special, optional romantic proposal that you can do around the Autumn Festival.

If you marry Arlo the discussion about FP is repeated every autumn (and when Mali comes )-
i'm sorry for him .
I'd like if the Builder would help him to get in FP as i helped Mint to become Gale' assistant
(but don't disappear as it happens with another NPC )

But the FP is an adventurer's guild .... ergo he would have no choice to leave .. unless his friendship with the Builder was high enough .. then he could leave taking himself out of the relationship pool.

In real life there are people who go on missions (army ,navy ,etc ) and return home to their families .
But this is a game where the characters are programmed to do what the dev wants

This is an adventurers guild, not the military, as far as I can tell .... but meh .... you got it right. They do as they are programmed to do LOL

It's always gonna be kind of up in the air because if he did pass the test, then he'd have to leave town to follow his dreams. Don't think that's something anyone playing the game would want. Imagine if you were romancing Arlo and he just suddenly up and leaves after Autumn. It'd be devastating lol.

A dlc where you get to join the flying pigs would be awesome hahaha, they could build an outpost on Portia then Arlo and yourself could do missions/commisions for them, I feel guilty but I know my character would get in easy haha. You tend to out compete everyone pretty quickly leveling up.
