My turn!
Gaming
1. How long have you been playing? Since early May, I have about 170 hours.
2. Briefly describe your Farmer: She's a bit of an idealised me. She has the right hair colour (but not the right haircut), eyeglasses, wears a bright green shirt (my favourite colour, although I don't usually wear green clothes), and I play her as she had my real self personality. So, in shourt, kind of a self-insert basically.
3. Briefly describe one of your farms: I'm still on my first farm, so I didn't know about some strategies (like the Junimo huts), and didn't plan accordingly. I try to be efficient, but I'm also mostly lazy, so my farm looks half organised, half haphazard and, of course, I'm too lazy to reorganise everything so I just deal with it. It works well enough, if a bit needlessly time-consuming.
4. What was/is the biggest game challenge for you? I started directly on v1.5, so there was just a ton of stuff to discover, and since I'm super curious and always want to know everything, I often didn't allow myself the pleasure of discovery and was way to quick to check the wiki, which I regret a bit. It really would have helped if I started playing the game before 1.5.
5. What do you love the most about SV: The depth. Lots of characters have very fleshed-out and three-dimensional personalities, which really makes it feel like you're meeting and getting to know actual people instead of just random extras who hand you quests. I certainly didn't expect to see a quite realistic portrayal of mental illness and other sensitive issues.
Characters
6. Favorite Bachelor/Bachelorette: Sebastian by a landslide. Not only does he remind me an awful lot of my closest friend (a depressive, introverted programmer who likes cuddles and dresses all in black), but his background story hits very close to home. I've been through depression and all the like, and even his conflict with Maru I can relate to, except my Maru was my own upbringing. (Basically, I'm both characters in the same person. I was raised as a Maru, which made my inner Seb snap under the pressure and social isolation.) It felt so weird seeing my literal life story unfold through him.
If I leave all personal issues aside, he's still 100% the type of person I would fall for. I'm all for shy and sweet guys who are also very independant and perfectly fine with introverting together. Also, his arc once you marry him is super heartwarming.
7. Current Spouse: See above.
8. Most Underrated Bachelor/Bachelorette: I don't really know what to answer honestly. As far as romance goes, Seb is the only one I can picture myself ever going for (based on my RL personality), and most of the other marriage candidates I don't even see myself beings friends with. Sam and Alex are probably the two I hear about the least so, lets go with that.
9. Favorite Non-Marriage NPC: Robin. She seems like a very welcoming person, andI just love her sense of humour. Dumb puns are the best.
10. Favorite Bachelor/Bachelorette Theme Song: I have no idea. I'd have to check the names of the songs and I'm too lazy for that.
Animals/Produce
11. Favorite SV Animal? Form farm animals, I'm going to say the void chicken, but I also really like those wild birds and squirrels and whatnot that show up randomly. And my pet frogs.
12. Favorite Spring product/produce? Kale. So satisfying to harvest it with the scythe (I like scythe-able crops. Less of a hassle to harvest.)
13. Favorite Summer product/produce? Probably sunflower
14. Favorite Fall product/produce? Pumpkin
15. Favorite Winter product/produce? Either crystal fruit (looks super nice) or those winter market deepwater fish
World
16. Favorite Place outside your farm? I have a soft spot for the mountain lake, mostly due to the amount of time I spent thereharassing charming my future hubby.
17. Favorite festival/holiday? Feast of the Winter Star. I like finding out who my secret gifter is each year.
18. Favorite non-farming item/object? Hard to choose, but just like that I'll answer with my faithful return scepter.
19. Favorite SV season: I like them all, but I tend to look forward to summer the most because the music is awesome.
20. What is your SV wish for future updates? A lot of my wishes have already been proposed a couple of times (like dates, aging children, etc.), but one I would like to see is a wider variety of vehicles, like a bicycle, or a skateboard, or a magic carpet, whatever. They could be either buyable (at a very expensive price/obscure location/etc.), craftable, or even as quests goals or rewards.
