The Future of Villager Personalities

[bunnynoah]

Hello! This is my first post on this website, but don't worry! I'm a AC vetran and I'm here to make the community a better place. Now to the thread topic.

Let me purpose this revolutionary idea: All AC villagers have slightly unique personalities based on their theme.
Confused? Let me explain:
-Each villager keeps to a similar yet unique personality like their original from past games, but have unique dialog for each "Sub-Personality"
-Sub-Personalities will be grouped under the main personality groups like Normal, Jock, Smug, ect.
-Think of it like MySims, but better!

This idea would be resource extensive, but could work. If you like the idea, help me form an organized system for it and add on to the idea as a whole.

This seems like a really good idea! It could really help make talking to villagers less repetitive. Though I'm not sure how many "sub-personalities" would fit in a game...


Also, welcome to TBT!

I was thinking like 3-5 sub-personalities for each of the old personalities.

I really like the idea! I also wanted more from professional characters, like the Brewster and etc. Though that's not the same thing. But yes, I love this idea! It will make the relationships you experience with your town more intense if each character isn't part of a group of identical personalities. I think 3- 5 is a good number.

So thats 3 -5 sub personalities for an overall personality. How many sub personalities can one animal have? Just one, or maybe a few to make it more interesting?

Oh, and welcome by the way! I'm new too!

I like your idea! It would be nice to have a sub-personality so the same personality type wouldn't be repetitive. I think it would be nice if each individual also had some unique lines (like about their personal life) in addition to the scripted lines for their personality.

Just what I was thinking. This would be especially useful when you have more than one of the same villager type in your town

Welcome to TBT! I love it here.
I think this idea is great! I've been thinking about this all along! Also to add I think personalities shouldn't be limited to gender (especially bc the male personalities suck except for lazy and cranky)

 

[RickyKitty]

I second that, personalities not being limited to gender! I find it funny how only girls can be "normal". XD

Wow! So much codiiiing!
It takes a lot just to get the villagers to not say the same thing everyday, lol. I would be very interested in the file size of this project: someone, Nintendo, make it happen!

This would be way better than having every character greet you he exact same way constantly!
