Stardew faves - a list
[earlier post - tumblr was giving me trouble creating it]
When I started the game, I missed harvest moon. I didn’t think i’d come to enjoy Stardew as much as I have. The game really does really well on the breadth of things to do, the quests, the tasks and upgrades and of course planning and designing the farm along with trying a few different farm maps and overall feeling of wamth and community. There are a few characters I’m glad to have come to love.
This is really just a list of characters and in-game forageable or grown etc items that i like. I’ve made it because I felt like it, because it’s part of my process of enjoying the game. I might edit it later to add or remove some things. The list is accompanied by screenshots that might be a little spoilerific.
[Favourite characters ]
Harvey. is my most favourite. I adore him and that’s that, Without him, i feel like I might have been FAR less keen on this game. His heart events are golden and have everything about them that I like. Harvey is a wise and warm guy and I really love his lines.
Demetrius - modded by Haywrites, it brought out the character’s personality btter but I loved him in vanilla too.
Linus - modded by Haywrites
Jas
Shane - I also use some mods for him but in vanilla there was something that made me relate to him and think warmly about him too.
Kent
Penny
Grandpa
Eliott - also modded / dialogue - expansion mods
Gus
Willy - modded by...Haywrites. I sincerely enjoy that modder’s efforts.
Evelyn and George - I really adore them!
wizard - Haywrites mod. Thanks to Haywrites, he has some really interesting tales to tell.
Jumino
Dwarf -haywriites mod. Dwarf puts the farmer through trial of rejection first, an interesting idea, thoug i don’t always like his new lines but the overall feel is...haywrites made him more interesting.
Krobus
There is potential in some others: Pierre sounds like he has stories to tell. Apprently he also practices opera singing - is he any good? Again, this character has a potential for a mod rewrite to give him more stories to tell.
Shop keepers
ancient mariner
Travelling cart
Gunther
[Favourite season]
Spring and Fall, especially with Starblue Valley mod – the colours are so much better than in vanilla.
This is ali’s foraging map mod - for the forest farm. The area which normally would have been a cliff felt empty so I planted some trees and felt happy to make Harvey a nice little corner to read like this so in the end decided to keep the mod.
