... aka playing as sylvie in this kinda game is. fun, mostly because they ... have a reason to comment, talk to me in my head. i brought it up a little in a different blog post but
munbonding/living character kinda describes what sylvie is to my brain--a companion. one im very aware is just my OC blorbo but who i like talking to/they yap on their own!!!
and it's been fun playing animal crossing and them having a reason to actively comment as i play for what house layouts they want, or items, or clothing. even if the gameplay mostly falls to me cause ... well, im playing--it's fun to just have them pick out what they want for clothing and such
all the times i have played animal crossing, it's been as myself ... in my old,
old save file i did make a secondary villager that was my
old comfort OC who also was a chatter in my skull, i don't remember ever really playing as him to really go through the experience. idk what makes animal crossing different from me using a sylvie skin in minecraft, but i guess it's because i see ... Them in the game, not just a first-person POV (so 'me')
then again i guess it was the same when playing bg3, that was Sylvie i was playing as ... so it's them humming and hawing as they think about what dialogue choices to do, and me just doing the combat part
( look at my ingame sylvies (order: bg3, spirit city, animal crossing, genshin) )
