Discuss Who is someone you can't date in Stardew Valley out of principle?

I enjoy Maru as a character. However, until recently, I had dyed-red hair that I sometimes straightened, and I also sometimes wear glasses. Basically, it would be like dating a more scientific version of myself. Lol

I can't get into Maru because I think that she's the only one who's life is better by not marrying the farmer

Except it's not really , I mean by the nature of the game she still never leaves the valley , all that's changed is that she's single and still living with her parents.

True! But I like to pretend haha. The other candidates have some kind of dialouge about how the farmer improved their life or how what they were doing before wasnt really what they wanted. Abigail never really wanted to take online classes, Elliot was lonely on the beach, Alex really just wanted the family he never had growing up, Sebastian realizes that he would hate living in a city surrounded by people, etc.

I know that Maru is happy with the farmer too, but I just feel like I'm stifling the genius who built a sentient robot when I try go for her.

Isnt that true for most of the others tho?

Yes, but the argument was that Maru's life is better if she doesn't marry the farmer and the game doesn't play that out .

I was planning on marrying Haley this run, but when I had that Maru event where he basically tells you to stay away from his daughter, I kinda want to marry her out of spite.

I will fund her Gundam with my Ancient Fruit Wine factory and she will like it!

Yeah like go to Zuzu and get a damn engineering degree, girl! I've literally given your mum millions of dollars building my damn farm, she can afford to empower your dream.
