My time at sandrock nia for free#

I was like 'Cool, I have 200, I finally have a use for them' and after two cycles of the quest, I'm suddenly told its a waste of time and when I offer to just give her the stuff for free because I HAVE SO MUCH OF IT, I actually LOSE a whole bunch of reputation with her! Why?! One example is the chain that asks you to get clay twice a week for someone. I just dont understand a lot of interactions that get added to these kinds of games. As much as I like to grind monsters, building and farming, requiring me to do social interaction and get reputation with people to progress fills me with dread.

It wasnt so tied to social interactions so I was able to essentially beat the game without any special favors or side questing. My experience with Portia was pretty skewed as well but in a funny way. But if some other character wants to share some funny stories about our past, I'm game. He has no reason to be so insecure about himself that he would need a cheerleader. But in the context of the game, my character is amazingly successful (as everyone else's is probably as well). Granted, all of that was very easy since it happened inside a game that was designed to put me on that path. I mean, it's obvious that I'm helping the town a lot, I've turned a dilapidated workshop into a powerhouse that also includes an extensive farm and garden, I've taken the first place in the commission leaderboard from lazy Yan before the first month was even over, I've made a lot of friends who keep saying nice things to me, Mabel wants to adopt me, Vivi considers me 'the grandchild she never had', Heidi is impressed by my work, I could go on and on. I can see what you mean there, but to be honest, I really don't see why I would need yet another cheerleader in this game. Instead of telling me about how cool her botany interests are, she's just making fun of building and everything I'm doing. Originally posted by Crystal:Instead of having a friend who is cheering me on, I have letters telling me my family doesnt miss me and doubting my skills. Would you really call such a character 'tsundere'? It doesn't seem to fit the descriptions that I've seen of that trope (but again, my knowledge of it is rather limited). She also doesn't seem angry, just disappointed. She's not distanced at all, in fact she tries to be as close as she can be to you under the circumstances.

) She doesn't reject the player and is not 'cold' toward them - if anything, she 'defines' the relationship as something closer than the player might feel or want. But all that is exactly what Nia doesn't do. Now, I may be missing something, as the world of anime is mostly alien to me (when I grew up, the only 'animes' available were shows like 'Heidi, Girl of the Alps' or 'Captain Future' - obviously not something where you'd find tsundere/yandere characters or other now popular tropes ) ).īut as far as I understand, 'tsun-tsun' translates into 'to turn away in disgust or anger', and a 'tsundere' character would be someone who rejects the player's advances while giving the impression of being cold, harsh, distanced, dismissive, or angry (before eventually revealing a softer and more affectionate side). Mostly the tsun-tsun part and less dere-dere. Originally posted by Nishi Kinuyo:She comes off as being a bit tsundere. I don't think we have more details about her, but obviously we'll see in the future. The devs have said that Nia will appear in person at some point. That said, I'm not sure if I would keep writing you letters if I had the feeling that I have to tread on eggshells. I would probably try to not make jokes at all and if I felt disappointed by anything you did, I might decide that hiding that from you is the better option. Let me put it this way: If I were your friend, and if I knew that you received those letters from another friend of yours and perceived them as hostile, then I'd probably be _very_ careful with any letters I wrote you. But if she felt 'hostility' toward you, why would she go through the effort of writing letters and sending you presents in the first place? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Possibly, making fun of things could also be her way of coping with the disappointment that you're gone. Nia obviously feels a bit 'left behind', and she likes to exaggerate things to make them entertaining to read. If you're reading hostility into her first letters, then you'll probably read something negative into her following letters too.
