Making NPC's Helpful! - Stardew Valley

Best mod. The NPCs seem more like people living in Stardew Valley instead of just being "goals" for the player to unlock. It's not reasonable that they wouldn't know how to fight or do things. Does the mod function once you're married too or after a divorce? It'd be so weird if it worked after a divorce, dragging a bitter angry NPC around who won't talk to you but happily slaughter things would be hilarious but so weird.

[@contrabardus]

There should be post divorce dialogue where all your partner does is complain about you and tell you that you suck and how useless you are while you're with them.

[@jpvillanueva7346]

Wish they add the helping thing in the real game thoo. That will help alot

This is a really cool idea for a mod! The walk animations could use some work, as it's clear the npcs walk cycles weren't built to facilitate moving so quickly, but this looks really awesome. It's nice for your s/o to have practical use in farming/adventuring.

[@shadowjmg2]

It reminds me a lot of the Rune Factory games. You can invite almost all npcs to hang out with you they use diffrent weapons and have different base stats, some even use magic and stuff.

[@sabrinasmith4793]

Lol I was just thinking that! I got RF4 a while ago and when I play it I almost always have a villager or monster with me (mostly Dylas and my Silver Wolf since they're both really strong), they're just really useful to have with you.

[@danielconnor8516]

Ikr, I hope 1.5 update will include that feature. It would be really cool to hangout eith the npcs, even small interactive events like leah can teach you to make a sculpture or tile and you make one animal crossing style, haley could do photography sessions with you, abigail can fight with you, elliot can fish with you, penny can help you solve mysteries in the valley (giving hints and telling her suspicious observations) and tell you the history of it, idk. I really just want to do soemthing with the npcs. Tho that would be incredibly ambitious. It would be a really nife DLC tho.

I still love all the comebacks and remarks you have towards the NPCs. :P Also, laughed at the edit making it look like Abby was staring in shock that you put out Linus' campfire while you walked away.

[@AlycatIsAlive]

I actually really like this mod. It doesn’t really change anything about the gameplay, just further encourages befriending the villagers. I do kinda wish you could have anyone as a companion though

[@gadgetsansom3616]

You can do this in a few of the rune factory games and I absolutely loved it. You can ask people to go with you and have them help with battling OR take them on dates in special areas. Which is so cool because you learn more about the characters AND get help fighting. Stardew Valley I think would benefit from this and also your children and spouse helping you on the farm (or with other chores) in harvest moon animal parade.

[@Luckster]

I entered this video cautiously, knowing your dripping sarcasm and lack of connection with any of the NPCs compared to much of the fanbase is kinda a key part of your selling point and humor. I left wanting to download the mod and forgo work today entirely.

@@josector5421 How so? It would still be a small group of people working together to make a game.

this is a great idea that feels like it could be vanilla if the creator wanted to. i think the buffs should scale with affection levels, and would need some consideration of balancing.
