Warning : guilt ahead

[Mink777]

I wonder if the future "what are you the two villagers you got" thread will be stickied.

 

[TheRealWC]

I probably won't feel too guilty. I guess it does depend on what two villagers I get, because if I like them I might try and make a little residential area with us three starters. If I don't like them, well, your going to the other side of the island.

 

[Jason Voorhees]

I don't get attached as they aren't real.

 

[DJStarstryker]

No guilt for me. We don't know for sure what the players' role will be, but at the very minimum we seem to be serving as an island/town designer and planner. Historically, AC villagers do little to nothing to help further the construction of the town. It's going to be up to the player's time and in-game money investment. So I feel like the player SHOULD get a lot of say on what happens.

Yes, 2 starting animals, you did invest in the package. But if you're only going to just pay off your own personal loan at best and not do much else... I get to say where your house goes.

I kicked out all my ACNL starters and moved on, i can handle this.

 

[Fey]

No guilt from me whatsoever.
It doesn't necessarily say that the Animals have chosen their "dream location" after all.

Since they have just as much a right to be there, they wouldn't have to ask us for permission. Therefore, I take it as them just wanting to ask someone trustworthy for a second opinion.

The way I see it, they arrived on the Island and pitched up their tent in a reasonable spot at the time. Once they've payed off their loan, they'll ask us before building a permanent residence because they trust our ideas for the Island. It's up to us to make sure they'll be happy, whether it's agreeing with their choice or recommending another spot that suits them better.

It's just a matter of perspective: are we quashing their dreams, or helping them find the perfect home?
I think the latter ♥

I'll feel no guilt. I'm the puppet master and they'll go where I say so.

The fact they've brought the concept of the villagers also building up their lives from nothing, from a tent, to a house is something I'm so excited for. I just feel how it was like for me in New Leaf, and also most likely in New Horizons running around the place looking a place to call home. I know that they're just virtual animals and coding and I know it's stupid, but I feel like the first place the animals pick they had the same thought of. 'This is perfect!' AND ALSO THE FACT THEY ASK. So, I will not be relocating their houses.

So I?m not the only one who has scrupules about imposing rules to my fellow survivalists !

THIS WHOLE THING HAS ME DEAD

 

[cats_toy]

To many times I've allowed villagers to plop their homes in the most inconvenient places, those days are gone!!! YAY!!!! I will now guide them to plots more fitting to the vision I have for my island.

 

[Boccages]

You guys are tyrants

 

[Boccages]

Unless my starting villagers are Barrold, Coco, Ribbot, Tabby, Stitches or Katt (any combination) I won’t restart and see if we can make it work.

 

[jim]

i will very gladly move them to a nice spot! after all, as the "founder" of the island i want to make sure they have a nice house in a scenic place that i can make look pretty. i always felt attached to the villagers, giving them little gardens in front of their homes and watering wilting flowers nearby even though it technically didn't do anything as a result.

honestly placing villager homes is a much-requested feature and i'm glad they've confirmed its inclusion this far before release.

 

[Cheybunny]

it's going to be a heckin nice time !!!

 

[AlyssaAC]

I think the idea of placing their houses where you want is a good idea. I was never organized in New Leaf and my towns were always so scattered all over the place. This time I would like to make everything nice and neat, so I would not have any guilt putting their houses in a place that looks good. After all, it's like a couple of other people have said, they are asking for a second opinion, which is in fact yours.

 

[JackACNL]

Finally. Now I can make subdivisions for my villagers to live in, so that they aren't everywhere around the map. Having a nice, uniform neighborhood would be very nice to have, especially since villagers have a tendency to move right in front of bridges, the middle of gardens, and directly in front of your house.

 

[WeiMoote]

Yeah, I gotta go for the neighborhood idea as well...

I do promise to give my neighbors a front lawn of sorts. ^^

 

[stitchmaker]

Relationships have and will continue to be the most important part in a AC game.
With ACNL the villagers picked their spot in 2013. That's how my main town stayed.

With ACHN I plan on letting them pick their spot.

 

[Stalfos]

They'll live wherever I tell them. And they'll like it!
