Stardew valley gay marriage
Eric Barone, aka ConcernedApe, really made a winner when they developed the smash-hit that’s Stardew Valley. Part farming simulator and part adventure game, the player leaves their capitalistic, hellscape of a job in the city to shift into their grandpa’s farm in Pelican Town. You join a number of different people, some of who you can even relationship. With that in mind, can you be gay in Stardew Valley?
The concise answer is yes, you can. You have 12 passion options to decide from, 6 men and 6 women, and all are single and ready to mingle once you get closer to them and achieve their 8-heart event. To execute this, you require to find out what each bachelor/bachelorette likes, such as coffee for Harvey, and Amethyst for Abigail. Keep talking to them, or handing them their favourite gifts, and you’ll eventually punch that all-important heart event where you can choose to take things further. And by further we mean virtual dating, alright? No hanky panky in this game. At least, none that we can see…
Anyway. After you start officially dating (and making it official with a bouquet of flowers first, of course) you obtain the chance to even wed your beloved. It doesn’t matter
When I first started to scribble this article, it was a piece about howStardew Valley was the perfect, LGBT utopia. There was no real thinking behind it, and the narrative was glossed over with nostalgia of a game that had made me very happy the first time I played it. Stardew Valley still does make me happy, and I’ve recently been unable to tear my attention away from it.
But when I booted up my playthrough this time around, almost a year since I had left it to play other games, I found my thinking of Stardew Valley as an LGBT utopia was far from the correctness. To me, the utopia I was shaping this game around was a place where everyone accepted one another, and people felt safe and represented in their community. It was a feeling, and location, that I never really had in any space other than online in tight-knit communities of friends and fandom, and even then that could get ugly. Regardless, that was what I imagined Stardew Valley to be.
On paper, Stardew Valley does seem unreal. You move away from your 9-5 job that makes you feel like shit to serve on a farm that belonged to your Grandpa, you receive your own dog or kitten, your neighbours all end up loving you, and y
A question that comes up with many Sim-type games hits on the quixotic relationship side of things. Who are the potential dateable characters? Is there a major difference between how the relationships evolve? Is same sex internet dating an option in the game?
Players can be queer or straight in Stardew Valley. There are six romanceable female characters and six romanceable male characters, any of whom the player can date then marry regardless of player gender.
Now to be clear, the game is far from perfect on this front. If you’re looking for a game that has an agenda or is politically active on the representation front, that’s not Stardew Valley and wasn’t their intention. That’s not the vibe that the game, but the ability to craft a choice and be accepted by the entire local community is, and that’s the one area where the game shines.
The representation is here if you want it via the right to build a choice and everyone in Pelican Town existence accepting of it, with very few seeing nothing odd or different about that at all.
Is this a perfect LBGTQ game? No, there are some cringe moments and arguments about representation are valid, but compared to the game
the game didn't need this in the past but now its unavoidable for completionists.
this doesn't really make alot of sense to me, i fond this game but i never liked the fact queer marriage was added, now i'm not asking for it to be removed but i just wish if there is a way to avoid queer marriage.
please give me an answer, not anti-straight comments, i'm not here to hate, i just wish if i can fully participate and complete this game without going against my beliefs.
EDIT!!!: apparently you can avoid gay marriage for all achievements, ♥♥♥♥.
. . .I mean, you're not required? The only thing you suffer from out on is the last heart event (maybe two). And the last heart event is a romantic one, and has always been?i mean the achievement...
I perceive your point of view. . .but this is also a fictional society. . .if it bothers you that much, don't undertake it? You're not missing out on anything but a heart event that has no baring on actual completion.
