Fans of Stardew Valley are keen to get married… once more. To whom? They do not know. However they’re hoping their bride/groom can be a few people in explicit.
To grasp why, have a look again at our personal interview with ConcernedApe, the place he completely revealed to us that the subsequent replace, 1.7, would come with two new marriageable characters. He would not say who they have been, and we do not even know if these can be model new characters or present characters that abruptly turn into accessible. Whereas ConcernedApe will tell us later this month on the recreation’s tenth anniversary, that hasn’t stopped individuals from wildly speculating who it’s going to be, and there are just a few theories reigning supreme proper now.
Logically, we will put collectively that we are going to possible get each a person and a girl, as all the different candidates have opposite-gender pairings for occasions like the Flower Dance. To search out out who the hottest individuals in the recreation for love have been, Reddit user JeffTheKillerFa put together a poll for followers to see who got here out on prime. They’ve since posted the outcomes, displaying Sandy popping out waaay forward of the different single ladies (Marnie was in second place), and the Wizard profitable the vote for single males.
However apparently, followers have latched onto one other chance that we might see in 1.7: breaking apart an present couple. The ballot additionally requested followers who of the at the moment married people in the valley they wished to steal. Robin was the clear winner, with gamers clearly not shedding any sleep over breaking her up with Demetrius. That is even one thing ConcernedApe has discussed as a possibility before! However Caroline (at the moment married to basic retailer proprietor Pierre) was additionally a favourite.
As a little bit of a gag, the ballot additionally included a piece for “non-giftable” characters, or people who you’ll be able to’t at the moment type even a friendship with due to a scarcity of skill to give presents and restricted dialogue choices. Marlon of the Adventurer’s Guild was a reasonably apparent winner right here, adopted by Gunther from the museum. And in a remaining ballot, it looks like individuals do not essentially need to marry the Dwarf, however like Krobus, they need she would transfer in as a roommate.
These ballot outcomes do appear to line up roughly with feedback posted throughout the neighborhood since our interview about who individuals need to see. Nevertheless, there’s one character that got some attention on socials who wasn’t in the ballot in any respect:
Sure, the Hat Mouse! I too would love to marry the Hat Mouse! We might run a little bit hat retailer collectively! After all that is reasonable!
Once more, it is doable we’re going to get two model new characters in the valley, and all of this hypothesis may have been simply foolish wishcasting. However till ConcernedApe says in any other case, I can be eagerly awaiting the addition of my most popular combo of Hat Mouse and the Wizard, the most clearly romantic people in the recreation.
