More Interesting Villager Conversations
As you go about fishing, catching bugs, and digging up fossils, you’ll see your fellow island inhabitants plodding around the island. They’ll be going about their own daily routine, which more often than not just involves walking around… maybe sometimes even with a tool out.
Outside the occasional time they’ve got something they want to talk to you about, the conversations you can have with your villagers are all of about two sentences long.
And honestly, what they’re saying isn’t all that interesting either. I get it, the villagers have to be kid-friendly but that doesn’t mean that more conversations could have been added to stop them from growing stale.
After speaking to my villagers once or twice in a day, I seldom see a reason to go and speak to them again.
It would have been even better if villagers gave you things to do with them. Little quests, so to speak, that would improve your relationship with them and reward you with fruit, Bells, or furniture.
Something, anything, that made the villagers feel like an evolution of their past iterations from previous games would have be welcome. Instead, as cute and charming as they’ll always be, they lack the depth the rest of the game has benefited from.
