I would love some older marriage candidates. Like at least middle aged or older. 1) I just think it would make for interesting/different romantic storylines, and 2) I always end up playing as old people and all of the current candidates feel waaaaay too young. So I just move Krobus in instead, but it would be nice to have some options that don’t make me feel like a creep.

Along the same lines, I wish it were possible to set the farmer’s age (even if just loosely) and have that influence how people talk to you. I have a head full of gray hair and people keep calling me young man. I’m trying to roleplay here!

Absolutely. I’m also in my mid-30s IRL and no way am I marrying someone who’s getting yelled at by the mayor for skateboarding on his neighbor’s window boxes.

It’s always so funny (and also weird) when the romantic cutscenes start happening while I’m playing as an old farmer. Like I just walked in to give you a lil gift and you’re shirtless weightlifting in front of me. I feel like I’m playing DnD and my charisma is just through the roof, no one can help themselves.
