But for me the biggest let down of this game was dialogue and connection to villagers, idk if I grow up or Im not as invested, but I don't feel a connection with my villagers the same way I did in NL.
Above for me! I always praised NL and held it as the 1st of the series, but with this update I really think NH will take that spot. Many things I wish were added are missing like minigames, Nook upgrades, and some NPCs, but otherwise I really think this update will add so much to the game to make it the best in the series. I still think the dialogue will never be as good as the older games (especially WW) but I think I can't really hope for a change at this point.
