Your favorite/ non favorite NPC's

Hey all! I am curious to know who your favorite NPC's are and your not-so-favorite NPC's are. Mainly the bachelors/bachelorettes but it doesn't have to be. This comes after having to forcibly marry Emily for a quest I am working on and wondering if anyone else didn't like her. I had to divorce Sebastian (the love of my life) and marry Emily (who was already on the bottom of my favorites list). I've seen discourse about people disliking some characters and having faves for others, so I was just curious what hot takes you have or not so hot takes and you just wanna show love!

My fave is obviously Sebastian. The second I saw him I knew that's who I was going to go for. I don't regret it. He was a relationship I liked having to grow into. He wasn't exactly inviting and easy (like Elliot) or hard core mean with every discussion (Shane), but I was happy to see the gradual likeness he had toward my player. I love his little cut scenes and his obsession with frogs. What does irritate me is that I still see Abigail every where he goes off the farm (girl get away from him!!). I also low-key think he's a vampire (delusional) because some of his dialogue......that's my mans though.

Explanation on Emily is that her cut scenes are too long and weird. So over time I just knew interacting with her meant hours of my day gone. She is a bit too exotic for me. Then when I asked her to be my girlfriend she had a dialogue that made me feel like I just sold my soul. I can't wait to divorce her and get Sebastian back. SHE ALSO CHANGED ONE OF MY RARE CARPETS :(

Honorable mention: George. I love that little leek-loving grump.

Who are your faves/hates/honorable mentions?

Since I was pining for Sebastian from the beginning I hated Abigail so much but she's low-key very cool and I actually enjoyed her cuts scenes, I just hate how much they still cross paths in the game :(((( They are making it obvious....

All are fine on their own way, but my favorite is the little one :dwarf: my bombs dealer, the boom provider, the ancient one, the wise man, the one who remains; this guy loves the junk that I found on the mines, a really chill guy and he has presence (it's that the word? 😅 aura say the young people I think) My least favorite is Gil from the adventure's guild, I vanquished almost all the life in the caverns and the old man is not impressed, DO SOMETHING MAN!! GO OUTSIDE!! Just sleeping all day -_-

Favorite Romanceable- Penny (Love me a bookworm waifu)
Favorite Non-romanceable - Caroline (She's so cheerful and sweet, plus I love her hair color)

Worst Romanceable - Elliott (Booooooooring!)
Worst Non-Romanceable - Demetrius (OK guy, but his crap in Maru's 2 heart event made me hate him ever since)
Penny and Caroline are literal sweethearts! And Demetrius ... yeah not only does he not acknowledge Sebastian's existence but also being dense to his wife and overprotective of Maru... please stop

Honestly, as a first time player and still on my first ever save file for Romanceable I ADORE Harvey, to be fair he looks like my IRL husband but the nerdy demeanor as well as a soft exterior and vulnerability. My friend who plays 100% disagrees with me and hates harvey.
Non-Romanceable? Evelyn and George, Love them so much, shes such a sweetheart and he’s such a grump and its two peas in a pod. Gus is an honorable mention.
HATE? Sebastian, its the aura he gives off. Also, Jodie. Would love a mod to fight Jodie in the town square for the way she handles her kids and husband

I have to disrespectfully disagree on Sebastian but I do really adore the Mullners I wish they would adopt me! I honestly never think twice about Jodie this is the first time I've seen someone even mention her, that's a very interesting take

I 100% should probably try and get to know sebastian so my mind changes but Kents PTSD scene with Jodie as well as the 4 heart event with Sam where she flips her lid over something being dropped im just like, i get it your husband is at war but… chill?

Sam is my very favorite. I know he's a little boring...but I don't care. Sebastian is cool too though.

I love Evelyn and George they are so adorable together ❤

My least favorite by far is Pam! She is so rude all the time and she doesn't even treat her friends well! Even Gus who seems to be one of her best friends. I also used to hate Shane, but I had a few cut scenes with him and I don't hate him quite as much now.

I hate Demetrius for the same reason, his crap in Maru's 2 Heart event made me dislike him. Then i watched Sebastians winter snow goon event and it sealed my disliking of that stuck up ass.

My favourites

Romance wise - Sam, because he's so cute and amazing with the kids. He may not be great at keeping the house clean, but the moment i saw him make thst tune for the kids, i knew Sam was a keeper

Hayley, because underneath that stuck up exterior is a very sweet person. I knew from the moment i saw her that there was more to her then meets the eye. After i married her for the first time, i knew, I'd never want to marry anoyone else. Her adorable charity cake walk ti raise money to buy Vincent and Jas new school books sealed Hayley's place as my one true love.

None Romance Favourites

George, Evelyn (i love old people) Robin (she's funny 🤣) Linus (because we share a love and belief in nature)

Least Favorite To Romance

Emily - Because she's just too in your face, especially when she tries dancing for you, it's like HELLO you do realise I'm married to your sister right? Plus the sceen when Hayley is complaining about cleaning under the cushions really bugs me. Why do i have to have a go at Hayley and side with Emily. I can understand Hayley being bored with doing the same thing all the time, so why not give her a different job to do, like wash the dishes. Expencting me to rip into my girl and side with Emily doesn't sit well with me.

Penny - She's boring and rude in her 2 heart event sceen. She shoukd have been more open to how George myst feel having lost the use of his legs. But No, she comes over, doesn't even bother to ask if he wants help, shoves him out of the way and plays hero. That lost her a lot of respect from me.

Harvey - Like Penny, he's Boring and i don't like his attitude. In the day's when i used to Romance Maru (before i fell for Hayley) i never liked the fact that he kept trying to hit on my wife, by offering ti run sun screen on her shoulders during the Luau. That sealed his fate of being at the bottom of my eligible Bachelor's list.

Least Favorite None Romanceable Characters

Demetrius - His attitude stinks, i dont like the fact that he keeps giving me quests to over fish the waters around the valley. The attitude problem that 100% sealed his fate as my most disliked NPC, is his attitude towards his kids. What Robin Sees in that horrid excuse for a father, i don't know. It was bad enough that he tried to interfear with Maru's Love Life, (which was a bit low, but sort of understandable) by trying to get me to break up with her before we started dating properly. The icing on the cake though, was the day i saw him rip into Sebastian just because he built a Snow Goon. What kind of Farther tells there kid off for playing in the snow. That sealed his fate as the only NPC of stardew valley, that i can't stand to be around.

I'm so glad someone else loves Sam as much as I do! He really is the cutest.
