Here I share a small story of a game I both love and hate.
Playing Stardew Valley, and while it's a great and REALLY addicting game... OH GOD. THE NPC'S.
Some demand crops that are going to be in season two seasons from or behind now, or summer crops in the MIDDLE OF WINTER, or fruit that's hard to get anyways in the middle of winter, where nothing but debts from how much hay your animals eat grows.
Then you get the shopkeepers who make me want to scream.
Fucking everything happens when it's not convenient for you, the shop you buy from the most is closed, not on Sunday or Saturday like anyone else with a brainstem... BUT ON FUCKING WEDNESDAY. WED. NES. DAY. You also get up nearly 3 hours before anyone else in the entire game too, so when you gotta do errands you do maybe an hour and a half's worth of errands and literally stand there for an in-game hour and a half, hoping to hell that the person you're trying to do business with doesn't just randomly decide to fuck off and leave their shop entirely unattended and unmanned for the whole day 40 minutes before they open... Oh man, if I had a parsnip for every time the damn ranch supply lady walked out before or after I got there when I was in desperate need of her hay, because my cattle in that game were going to fucking STARVE...
It's a great game, but the NPC's supposedly complex and realistic AI makes the entire town look like a bunch of mentally challenged first-graders trying to imitate old people and adults...
