Winter year 1, just met Nadi... Opinions on bachelors?

Resolved

I've been waiting for SoS to come out in eur for a loong time. Ive enjoyed it too, i really like the art style and the sewing etc. but i sort of wish i played as a boy! I find all of the boys, excluding Fritz, are too posh and whiney. Or in Klaus' case just creepy.

Mostly a complaint triggered by meeting Nadi- the whiniest of all whiners - but wondering how others feel?

Just a side note: I've just started ignoring most of the dialogue and I'm still having fun with this aspect.

Mistel is a true gangster.

Mistel - interesting. He reads S + gold digger to me, with a decidedly possessive streak. His very close relationship with his sister is a little creepy, as is his apparent age. (Note that I have a 15-year-old daughter who looks more mature than he does.)

Fritz - sweet, but more of a charity case/friend. I highly suspect he has a learning disability (and is insecure about it) of some sort based on his rival events. Go for it if you like redheads or sweet and clueless guys, but be warned that you're going to be fishing A LOT if you want his reverse proposal. It can take years to unlock both the recipe AND the relevant King Fish.

Klaus - fine, except for his wanting to repeatedly hammer home his advanced age. Otherwise, he's fairly mature (a little on the naughty side) and has an interesting profession, just like Kamil. Love a man who is secure enough in his masculinity to persue perfume making or flower arrangement.

Raegar - Tragic past. Too good looking/popular. Very career minded. Still spends a great deal of time at work after you marry him. Not for me, but he's a great friend.

Nadi - suffers too much from the last minute addition of extra localization team members. He's tsundere to the point of having multiple personality disorder. He was my intended target right up until I saw his infamous "bosom" line, but that was too much for even me.

Kamil - perfection. So much better than his ToTT incarnation. He only has one line of dialogue that rubbed me the wrong way, the Valentines "Ciao, babe." one, but I can overlook it, I guess.

Haha good summary, I haven't met SoS Kamil yet and didn't decide to wait because I had already gone for him in ToTT. But I like the teamwork behind a farmer and a florist.

where in the world do you even get gold digger from?

Are you playing the EU version by any chance? They changed quite a bit of text, but I'm referring to his first Flower Event mostly. He just strikes me as someone who cares more about monetary value than any other positive qualities. Of course, everyone can interpret each character as they wish to, but his first two events would have made me eliminate him from my potential dating pool even if I didn't dislike his portrait art.

I'm enjoying dating Klaus; he gets more interesting after you raise his affection and see his events.

He reminds me of a Jane Austen character. A little formal, stiff, and older, but on the inside he's more fun, a little naughty, and really cute when he gets flustered.

It also just amuses me that he looks like my IRL husband, lol.

I've heard that his dialogue is a bit better in the US version so maybe I'm missing out. The scene where he talks about his blood pressure... Surely he isnt supposed to be that old?

I just read into it that something was raising his blood pressure. -wink wink- Rather than him being old and having high blood pressure. But yeah, bit of an odd change.

The quote included something about it being bad for "a man my age" so it's hard to see it any other way! I do wonder whether it was weird changes like this that held the release up. Really strange. Still tempted because Klaus has cute babies though.

I don't like any of them either. I guess Mistel is quite alright personality wise but he looks like an eight year old girl.

I went for Raeger. He's way too cliché but at least I don't feel like a pedophile.

I just discovered that he gives you food as gifts, and (in the dialogue anyway) gives you sweets if you lose a contest. I'm ok with this.

I was waiting to meet Nadi because I liked his looks, but ugh his personality. Now I still have to meet Kamil (I'm also in Winter of year 1), but I'm focusing on Raeger. I like that he's work-oriented, no-nonsense, not sugary and just quite independent. I don't need a possessive guy or a puppy metaphorically following me around.

Yeah I think we've gone for a similar angle then. On the plus side this might motivate to play a second time though. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed a harvest moon game so much so I'm really happy otherwise. I think the cute art style helps!

2
c-a-m-iPAL 4699-5809-6139•

Yes! I've played all of the Harvest Moons so far, and for a long long time there hadn't been one I enjoyed as much as this one. Most of them I just dropped after a while. :(

I like Raegar's personality the best, but I'm not really super fond of how his kids would look. I like Kamil's personality second best, but I married him way too much in ToTT for me to seriously consider marrying him, so I went with Nadi! He's a bit too stereotypically tsundere but I like his looks best.

Nadi and Klaus have the cutest kids in my opinion. I've gone with Raeger for now but may change for the adorable babies.

I went for Klaus. No regrets.

I got really confused by this thread, until I saw it was asking about bachelors and not bachelorettes. Oops!

Nadi is extremely tsundere, but if you don't mind that trope, his after-marriage dialogue is really cute. Also, he loves rabbits and tries to deny it, which I find highly entertaining. :3c

I don't mind tsundere too much but the way his dialogue switches so drastically was a bit jarring. Especially because the first thing he said to me was "congratulations on dating" dialogue (kind of weird how the game doesn't realise they're new!) which probably made it more obvious.

Guess it was partly my fault for not waiting!
