What I can say is that the game is really fun, but it does have that weird downtime feeling HM used to have, when you're slowing running around from one map edge to another and you start thinking all sorts of weird stuff, philosophical stuff, or even start questioning if the game's that good. But then you reach your destination and it's all good.
"I hear the chirping harmony of the myriad birds around me, the leaves rustle quietly in the wind, and I ask myself...
Do I exist? Am I only but an inconceivably small accident in the plan of the universe? One that cares not for the petty whims of myself and others? I remember I missed my brothers birthday because I was so invested in my books, and that chance will never come around again, I always think myself above others, with their egotistical snobbery, but am I really any better? Am I-
Oh, I'm here, YAY! BLACKSMITH GIVE ME THE THING I WANTY!"
Exactly. That's not even a joke.
hahaha
I am looking forward to the day when I can get a bunch of energy bars and go on a massive mining adventure.
You made reminded me of something. This is not really a spoiler..but in Spring there are berries growing in a lot of bushes around town. I didn't notice this until like the 20th day, and then I ran around collecting them and got 30+ berries. I think they provide 25 Health / 15 Energy, so I just went crazy on the mines for a few days.
Also, some NPCs seem to have bugged reactions to gifts. I gave Abigail a Quartz and she said "Thanks, I was really hungry!
". Which confused and scared me a bit. What's worse is that it doesn't even seem she liked it, it may have given like half a heart (which doesn't show on the social screen) or something.
And I completely agree with the "Save and Quit" being a better way to go about it, and 25%-50% running speed increase.
Yeah, there's a limit to how big a mining adventure you can have in one day anyway, since you have to be home and in bed by 2 am or you pass out. And it takes a while to get home from the mine.
Try leaving the mine exactly at 2AM. bwhahaha. No don't do that, it almost caused me a CTD..
PS: I remember someone talking about fishing, so I can confirm that the place where the 'sphere thingy' of your fishing pole lands (the distance of the sphere thingy to dry land) is a factor on what kind of stuff you'll catch.
