In the story of Stardew Valley, the setting of marriage enriches the player's gaming experience, but I don't know if this is the reason why the author did not complete it. After getting married, there are very few events for players. Several female characters will even return to their original partners after marriage, so they also have the name of Cuckold Valley. So who wouldn’t be married by green? The editor brings you a related strategy.
In-depth analysis of the malice and details of Cuckold Valley
ABQ
As a small town, Stardew Valley seems peaceful and peaceful at first glance, with simple folk customs. However, as the relationship between the players and the residents improves [small favors], they will discover many unknown secrets. And the game itself also has some tricks up its sleeve.
It is worth mentioning that Stardew Valley was produced by the author alone. What are the so-called "bug fixes" behind each version update? There must be some unspeakable filth here.
Let’s talk about (Sebastian’s) room first. Robin would say that he occasionally felt a strange smell in his son's room, and based on the speculations of many players, it might be because of cigarettes or smoking.
Then! The evidence of the author's remorse came. That bottle somehow turned into a real vase? Moreover, SB is always a gloomy and lonely person, so it is normal for this clue in the game to arouse players' suspicions.
Moreover, the vase in the picture in the article is SB’s wedding room. In other words, although SB sold the motorcycle for the wedding [did he really sell it? 】But I can’t quit this. I don’t even know what it is.
Speaking of SB, we have to mention ABQ. The ABQ setting is also withdrawn, but full of curiosity about mysterious things, adventurous spirit, and a game master. In addition, in the setting, ABQ has unrequited love for SB, I believe everyone already knows that. So, we can also make some assumptions about the recent rumors about ABQ that are at the forefront of Green Hat Valley:
1. ABQ smokes. It is said that you will occasionally see ABQ smoking, and then talk to her and she will say: I am just trying. Who is the only guy in the game who smokes? SB. Yes, the life of a girl who loves her unrequitedly is really miserable.
2.ABQ occasionally goes to SB’s house to sit. Just sit. Well, sit down. Women chasing men's spacer yarn?
3. ABQ’s pregnancy joke when she goes to the hospital for a physical examination every year, yes, she will say, I’m not pregnant. At first I thought ABQ was just a joke, after all, she is such a girl. But then again. The SB smoking hinted at in the game is nothing, and the medical examination in the hospital is considered a private space, and the doctor must also keep the patient's condition confidential [some NPCs will glare at players if they force their way in], so it can be considered that ABQ is telling the truth at this time. Right now.
In addition, although SB said that he has no feelings for ABQ, he even said that he sometimes hates her. [I don’t want to see her because of work, but I am willing to talk to players who barge in. It’s true. ] But the only woman of the same age group in SB's life is ABQ [I'm going to call the police about Maru, that's my sister] and SB also said that his negative emotions can't be protected. And if SB makes a request, ABQ will never refuse! Well! Don’t ask me why! I feel more and more sorry for ABQ [and also feel sorry for Laoju]
There is also the mystery of ABQ’s life experience. It's not unreasonable that this point is causing an uproar. The author in the game seems to be unable to justify it.
1. Pierre will reveal to the player that he suspects ABQ is not his biological daughter.
2. Caroline will reveal to the player that she always feels that ABQ has certain qualities that she doesn’t know who he resembles.
3. The wizard said that there was someone in the town who was his daughter, but he didn’t know who it was.
4. Caroline said that she once carried Pierre to the wizard's tower, and ABQ was born the next year.
5.ABQ said that his hair was dyed, but the color never faded after dyeing it once. [It seems that only wizards can dye their hair]
6. ABQ has psychic talent. I didn’t care about the plot for details = = I forgot.
7. ABQ will stay under the wizard tower whenever he has something to do.
But there are also many contradictions:
1. Caroline said ABQ was born with brown fur, the same coat color as Pierre.
2.ABQ. Well, there doesn't seem to be any contradiction.
In short, I feel that the author’s cuckold story should be solid. But what exactly happened, the author did not mention a word during the player Q&A session and skipped this question directly. No matter how you look at it, there is a hidden story here! It is not ruled out that just like SB’s vase, the author regretted it. As for the author's remorse for the cuckold's malicious intent, there is another thing to say later.
penny's tree climbing incident
The second controversial incident in Cuckold Valley was Penny's tree climbing incident. I believe everyone already knows this. I feel like this is a slap in the face of the author himself. One thing that was originally designed was Chi Guoguo's *affection! Of course, some players who like Penny may be unhappy here. But I feel this is purely the author's malice. Wait! Put down the bricks first, we have something to talk about.
The tree-climbing incident was triggered by Penny's 8-heart [should be] incident. Penny went on a picnic with two naughty children and took the player with them. Vincent accidentally let slip a story. A story about a man and a woman alone, in a dark and windy night, with no one around, well, climbing a big tree. It seems that someone drew a picture to explain the process vividly.
Damn it! I can imagine what is going on! At that time, Penny’s reaction was directly [Shut up! This is all a misunderstanding!] Although the protagonist doesn’t mind [I can’t say if I do! The protagonist is mute! 】Anyway, such an obvious thing, and it is cuckold information that is inevitable to kill the plot. I really don’t understand why players who have been chasing for so long and have 8 hearts are still being fed shit.
Then talk about the author’s reply. The author responded positively after the matter became a big deal, saying that Penny had already become fond of the player [it seems to have code support? ], and the tree-climbing incident with Sam was just out of friendliness but I was embarrassed to refuse, it was really just tree-climbing.
Okay, let's reason. Penny, a native of a small town, is a weak woman, still young, a female teacher, and her family is poor. Sam is from the city, a big boy, and his physical fitness should be pretty good [skateboarding]. Moreover, neither of them has explicitly stated that they have a special hobby for [tree climbing]. Let’s not talk about Penny who was dragged there, let’s talk about Sam. Apart from this incident, he has never said a word about climbing trees!
And what the hell, a man invites a woman to climb a tree at night?
Secondly, the author's logic doesn't make sense. He said that Penny had no feelings for Sam at that time, but the tree climbing incident did not happen at that time. The incident that Vincent witnessed was not necessarily a time when Penny had no feelings for Sam. Moreover, according to ABQ’s post-marriage flower dance festival statement [I want to be with Se. Well, forget it], it’s understandable that this happens occasionally, after all, it’s Cuckold Valley.
Therefore, in this scene, I think the author slapped himself in the face. When things got serious, he came out and said: Oh, oh, oh, oh, it’s just a kid playing house, nothing happened, he was really just climbing a tree. .
Such a covert response is probably just the author trying to comfort the players. well
Big rocks on the beach
Something else worth noting is that there is a big stone on the seaside in the game called the Lonely Stone. This stone was a named place on the map from the beginning, but until version 1.06, this stone has never played any role. So I boldly speculate that this stone actually has no use, but is just a hint given by the author to the players. What does it imply? Lonely! Single! Lonely! Lonely! Cold!
Yes, next to the lonely stone is the deck. Everyone who has stood on this deck is lonely! [There is only one truth!]
1.384 [= =Sorry for the previous title. Dear 384 chefs, I would like to apologize. 】His plot is to hold a red and white umbrella with the players and get wet in the rain at the end of the deck on the side of Lonely Stone. In fact, 384 is indeed lonely. He revealed that his only friend in this town is Sam. As for ABQ, we can just observe a moment of silence.
2.ABQ. Miserable! How can the word miserable be used? I like 384, and 384 is gay [mistake]. She likes mystery and adventure, but people in the town think she is a weirdo [in ABQ dialogue, she sometimes talks about not acting different from others, balabala, that's probably it]. She has deep conflicts with her parents. She herself feels that this is not good, but she still thinks that her parents do not understand her [and this is the fact].
When you see ABQ sitting alone on the sofa in room 384, silently give her a big chocolate cake. What a pitiful person.
3. Village chief. The village chief is a good man. For the sake of the town, I don’t even want to live a life of X. The story he and the chicken aunt had to tell was actually not that shameful. These two are not young at all, and their underground love affair seems to have been going on for more than a year or two. At night, players will see them quarreling over love and career disputes. In the end, the aunt chose to compromise. The aunt will also reveal to the player that she thinks the village chief's house is so big that he will definitely be lonely alone. Yes, so there he would be, enduring the loneliness for the sake of the whole town. And aunt.
In addition, the ghost story in the little girl's room, about the grandfather hiding under the bed = = I feel like this is about catching an adulterer. The village chief and the aunt were having fun, and then someone came back. The village chief (grandpa) was hiding under the bed.
I didn't pay attention to whether other NPCs were wandering around the Lonely Stone. After all, the author doesn’t go to the beach very often. I just feel that everyone related to this stone must have a story.
Then again, the author should be revising and hiding some of the not-so-positive hints and plots in the game step by step. Because this game is so popular, I guess the author himself did not expect it. The consequence of the popularity of the game is that all the content of this game is quickly discovered by a large number of players. There is inevitably a dark message left by the author.
However, after something is made public, it unexpectedly causes an uproar, and the author will definitely explain and change it. Just like the Penny incident, the author had to come forward and forcefully explain it at the end, otherwise this most popular female marriage partner might be ruined from now on.
As for ABQ's life experience, I prefer that the author himself cannot explain it, and there are also contradictions in the dialogue in the game, so it doesn't matter how he explains it, just let the players play it.
Finally, I still want to complain about ABQ's character setting. How can it be so miserable? If the above assumptions are true. [ABQ, your dad is not your real dad, and your real dad doesn’t know who you are. The person you like doesn’t like you, and you have never been recognized by anyone in the town (Sam and 384 are gay), Your hobbies are not allowed, and no one cares about your talent (playing games). My child, do you desire power? Sign a contract with me to become Mahou Bar]
At this point, I think Lao Ju has settled her affairs, married ABQ home, and let her live a happy life. What? Do you think Penny is worse? Well, can we marry two of them?
There are many details worth thinking about for players
Stardew Valley is isolated from the rest of the world, and its only connection to the outside world is the train. However, in all the years players have been in Stardew Valley, when has the train stopped? !There is only a platform, but no train has ever stopped. I even doubted whether Kent walked back along the railway tracks! [Sam said that his father used to pick up rags, so it seems that walking back is not impossible]
Also, in such a small town, it is understandable that there are dinosaur fossils and the like, but what the hell are there relics of ancient civilizations? The dwarf in the cave and the black guy in the sewer started fighting without saying anything when they met. Then according to the wizard's narrative, the two groups had a war here a long time ago, but later, it was obvious that the winner should be humans. According to the dwarves, the dwarves once had a glorious civilization that was later destroyed. Those things dug up by players are evidence. As for Xiao Hei, he said that the shadow monsters in the mine were his people. Well, I'm sorry, I killed no less than a thousand for the rainbow stone. Or two thousand?
There is also Kent. As a man who has been traumatized by the war and returned to his hometown, he brings the message that there is a war in the outside world. Maybe the war is over, maybe he's retired, but in short, Kent is back. Of all his stories, only a few words are revealed to the players. I don’t think the author will fill this big hole in recent years.
Another point may be that I am overthinking it, but I still have to say it. That’s my Haley! Let’s not talk about the flirtation between her and Alex at the beginning. After all, they are a couple in the initial CP of the game. Haley's family is very questionable.
According to Emily, the reason why the two sisters are here is because their parents have traveled around the world. Emily's original words, if I remember correctly, probably said that they will play for 2 years? Can't remember clearly. But the actual situation is that no matter how many years the player spends in the game, the parents of the two sisters will never come back! [The author didn’t do this plot at all]
But if we think about it the other way around, in the spring of the second year of the game, there will be a plot about Kent coming back. In the spring of the third year, there is a plot about grandpa coming back. Since the author has already developed the plot for the third year, why not create the parents of the two sisters? If the parents of the two sisters really come back after playing for two years, then why is there no news from the players no matter how long they play?
Forgive the poster for his malicious speculation, but the two elders may encounter unexpected events in the outside world. Maybe after this argument expands in foreign forums, the author will urgently add the plot of the parents' return. Maybe
There are also various festivals in the game. There are a lot of obviously useless festivals that have to be added, just for the sake of looking good? not necessarily.
1. Flower Dance Festival. In addition to showing the matching status of married and unmarried NPCs at the Flower Dance Festival, there is another thing worth noting. The position of flower queen has always been held by Haley, even after getting married. So here is a question, what is this flower queen? What is the selection mechanism? We don't know. Another doubtful point is that Haley is an outsider. Who was the flower queen of the Flower Dance Festival before Haley came? Moreover, according to the character background of this game, the only local female NPCs that can dance are Penny and ABQ [miserable sisters], so wouldn’t this festival be boring?
2. A feast at the seaside. Why does the whole village favor the player if the mayor is happy? Why is the mayor unhappy that the whole village will lose favor? Why does everyone in the village know that the person who makes the village chief happy or unhappy is the player? This is very strange. This festival actually involves everyone putting a little ingredient into the soup. We can understand the relationship between the mayor and favorability. If the mayor is happy, he will allocate more funds and mess up. It is normal for the villagers' favorability to change accordingly. So how do they know that the things the players put [or didn't put things] affected the mayor?
And what’s interesting is that if the player doesn’t put anything, the village chief will say that there seems to be something missing from the soup, but the village chief says he doesn’t know who hasn’t put anything. If toxic substances are put in, the mayor will turn green [ugh]. Sam has done this kind of thing before, but no one except Sam and 384 should know about it.
Therefore, the only possible conclusion is that if the mayor is happy, the villagers' favorability towards anyone will increase, that is, the favorability between them will also increase, and this will be reflected in the player as everyone's favorability towards the player will increase. As for the other way around, it makes the mayor unhappy. . Will people in this village be suspicious of each other? I'd rather not think so, and I haven't thrown anything poisonous into the soup, so I don't know if it will lose my favor. If it falls off, explain.
3. Jellyfish Festival. This festival is purely an animation for players to watch. What kind of creature is the moon jellyfish? Why Use Candles to Attract Moon Jellyfish? What is the [green] water monster that comes with the jellyfish in the water? Why does the water monster stop in front of the player? What does this symbolize? Everything seems to be a mystery. After the festival is over, the system will say that the mysterious moon jellyfish swims to an unknown and great distance [probably].
Why does it give people a feeling of commemorating ancestors and praying for blessings? To whom and what message do the villagers want to convey with the help of jellyfish? We don't know.
4. Halloween [Night of the Soul]. The end of autumn, no matter how you look at it, it’s Halloween. Someone dug up data on Halloween and found out that the wizard squatting on the northernmost cliff had a conversation with the homeless man. And the conversation seemed to indicate that the two were old acquaintances.
However, the player cannot reach their location and talk to them anyway. What is the purpose of this? Was it intentional by the author? Or is it just a bug?
Also, the Halloween reward is a golden pumpkin. The description is true: it's an expensive but useless thing. Well, it's useless. Why get such a useless thing as a prize? Just for sale? To be honest, 2,500 yuan in autumn can only be described as a drop in the bucket. Is this thing really useless? ? ? It can't even be used as furniture on the floor.
Other places, such as the books in the library, which the original poster did not read because of his poor English, seemed to involve the history of the dwarves and the black people, mythological stories, the statues in the seed shop, the tombstones in the center of the town, and other stories.
In addition, there are many other areas that are questionable:
Why is the cemetery in the center of town? And only the protagonist’s grandfather’s grave is in the corner of the farm?
Where are the protagonist's parents? Only in the first year will parents send some money or food, and then what?
Grandpa is back, where is grandma?
The alien on the logo at the start of the game should be meaningful, right?
Why does the protagonist usually only know how to farm, but when he meets ABQ playing the flute, he immediately learns the harp? Or is it a hidden skill?
What do those 9 scarecrows mean? Just a collection?
Who is Mr Qi? Why is there a sense of God teaching players? [The author has said that he himself has a little bit of Mr Qi]
Who is Sandy? She is Emily's good friend, but has Emily always been in the country? Or new friends?
What is Sandy's real name?
Why is there ice milk in desert stores? Will Sandy give players a bottle if nothing happens?
Why does the original poster care so much about Sandy?
Why is the bus heading toward the desert a dead end [that tunnel]?
Why are there tire marks on the road going left from the bus stop?
Why does Joja Supermarket say it will reduce prices for all villagers? Everything is cheaper than the seed store, but when players go to buy it, it is 50 yuan more expensive?
What does Sam and 384’s board game represent? Have we left out poor ABQ again?
