Hi my beautiful wife Leah just gave me some weeds (dandelions) and said that she planted them out back? Some weeds as a token of her love? After I gave her some 2000g wine and 1500 g truffles? What do I do here?

The one thing I always fail at with this game is making a nice looking farm. I'm just never inspired to fix things up.

Y'all should post pictures of your farms for some motivation. Or just to show off. Either way, definitely post farm pics.

collect a bunch of clay from ginger island, lay out brick pathways everywhere, put hardwood fencing in where there's a gap, put in a tree where there's two. congratulations you've done 90% of it now.

also the stone walkway is an acceptable substitute for brick and make sure you put in some lamp posts once you have an excess of battery packs so your farm looks like a nice park and you can see at night.

I picked this up on the switch and it has eaten my life for the past few days. Every time I pick it up I lose five hours. It’s great though, just reached winter.

But why is fishing so drat hard? Like sometimes fish are easy and I’m tapping away but I tried to collect 10 squid and I kept landing crazy reels where they bounced up and down way too fast to follow then failed out in 2 seconds flat.

I haaate itttt.

as soon as you can buy crab pots. it takes foreeeevvvvveeeeeerrrrrrrr to raise fishing skill through rod fishing while with crab pots you can get it to 10 p quickly. every level makes your green bar larger and fishing slightly easier. even at 10 with some fish you're just going to need to get lucky.

Unless for personal reasons Lava Eels are the better money maker over Sturgeons. Their roe ages faster and sells for more than caviar.

A caviar tycoon is respectable, the envy of the valley, his farm's products feeding the elite of zuzu city. His farm becomes a synonym for elegance. A man who puts his money into Lava eels? A fool who cares only for money. He may know the math of farming but he knows nothing of the art.

Having prices fluctuate depending on season would be cool. But unless it's rare niche items it's very hard to imagine how a single person farming by hand can somehow affect the price of any crop. Maybe if you got paid more for selling stuff locally, the rest gets bought by joja nationally or similar, then there would be a real and low limit to deal with.

Fable tried this because they wanted you to be able to make money through arbitrage and thinking and it just led to an exploit where if you sold a poo poo-ton of gems to a shopkeeper they would pay you a ton of money because they had none so it was really valuable and it would then drop to a value far below what you sold it for once you gave it to them because they had a lot so it was worthless. You could just do it over and over and generate infinite money.

Fable 3 for all its faults is still a decently fun game if you don't take it too seriously. Definitely a victim of its own ambitions though.

Ah the game where truly saving the kingdom can only be done by becoming a landlord and rubber banding your analog stick so the kings runs around in circles for 10 hours while you do something else

I actually love the whole fable trilogy I just also hate it like all fable fans do.

If I am only going to play one Rune Factory game in the foreseeable future, should I make it 4 or 5? RF4 has the advantage of already being out, but maybe there are fun new mechanics or polished up old ones in 5?

Edit: looks like Rune Factory 5 is Switch-only for a while to come. Guess I will add RF4 to my Steam wish list now. By the time 5 comes to Steam, maybe I will want to play another Rune Factory game.

I like harvest moon for the town best and olive town sucked for that because every towns persons dialogue was almost identical filler about the closest event. There was very little attention paid to writing that’s necessary for these games to work.
