I deleted my brother’s profile the other day (he has his own game now) and the context of it feels disturbing. Your resident is completely erased from the island and no one remembers them, and right after you delete them Tom nook says “I hope we meet again, someday, somewhere” which feels dark, but maybe I’m reading too much into it.
Not really unless I had an attachment to the character. I deleted a few profiles recently that I made for storage/extra houses to decorate. I'm actually relieved I won't ever have to listen to my villagers talk about the other characters anymore. I see it as Tom nook just being dramatic because he wants your bells lol.
No, I'm looking forward to it actually. I only have one other resident kept at the tent stage for my campground aesthetics and also to help buy art on the off chance Redd has two genuine pieces at the same time I still don't have. With 2.0 I'm definitely going to flatten so everything will change (including campground area), so once I complete the art gallery they will be gone.
The reason I'm looking forward to it is because their existence means conversation about them rotates in the generic initial villager dialogue branches. It'll be one less boring conversation branch to deal with.
I haven’t done it yet but I intend to. I made two extra players for faster collecting of DIYs/art/other visitor items. I’ve got most of it now and I’m only waiting to see if I need them after the update. I get real tired of villagers asking about them. First it was wanting to meet them now it’s asking about their likes. And it’s really dumb cause then they say don’t tell me. What even put that dialogue in the game?
Nah, I recently deleted one of my characters because my island was too crowded and I needed to rearrange things and make space for the upcoming update.
If I had a second character on my island, it wouldn’t bother me at all! Of course though, I don’t really have one, cause I like my profile to be the only one on my Switch since I don’t share it with anyone.
I've made and deleted a few side characters over the last several months, mainly for extra storage and to buy extra art pieces or candy for Halloween, for example. It has always felt sad to me when Tom Nook says that, "Hope we meet again somewhere..." Even though I created the characters just randomly, it still made me feel bad saying goodbye to them.
I have a third character that I will delete as soon as Halloween is over (I sometimes use him to buy extra candy). I added him for the extra storage, but with the storage upgrades, I won't need him and I'd rather have the open space. I plan to clean up my items, too. Have a few I probably don't need anymore. Now that we'll have access to the traveling vendors daily. I just wish they would increase the mail deliveries.
No. I temporarily made another profile/resident one time when Redd had multiple real art that I needed. I didn't want to miss out on them since the RNG doesn't go your way often enough with Redd. I just kept the character long enough to buy the art, receive it in the mail next day, and then dump it on the ground so my regular character could grab it. I then deleted it. I didn't feel bad about that.
no, but i’ve always found it a bit sad that no matter how long the resident existed for, nobody will remember them as soon as they’re deleted. i’ve yet to delete anyone in new horizons, and this is definitely pretty silly, but a part of me wishes that deleted residents would still be mentioned occasionally, like maybe once a month or so. i know that would kind of defeat part of the point of deletion, but having people be forgotten about makes me a bit sad, even if those said people are just a bunch of pixels lol.
