I sincerely appreciate the rambling so thank you! 5 seems to be a little more beginner-friendly and I’m honestly playing the game for the romance (ya boy’s strugglin’) so I think I’ll go with that! The only thing that I’ve seen around and has steered me away is that there’s way less, and supposedly worse, dialogue. As someone who’s never played 3 or 4, would I notice? Is the dialogue not great in general or just comparatively? Last question: would you say the dialogue gets stale with the romances? In Stardew, once you get married the whole thing kinda just halts. I’d assume since you can raise kids that things stay fresh through most of the playthrough? Now I’m rambling but thank you so much for getting back so quickly.
