I think it shows you as narcissistic, self-righteous and absurdly arrogant to think that you have any right to take it upon yourself to chastise the creator of this game for their tonal and creative vision, or for you to negatively criticize it for such an absurdly personal and subjective reason. This mod is taking this game and attempting to shove a trapezoid shaped peg into a diamond shaped hole. It isn't what this game is. It isn't what this game is trying to be. You're shoving your own social opinions into a creative work that's not yours, and negatively judging it for the creative direction and vision it wants. I think your motivation, your steam review and your self-righteousness shows a seriously delusional lack of understanding of this project in general or what people who like it precisely for what it is, want from it.
If you don't like the way this game is written, go play a different game. If you need to waste your time "correcting" other video game narratives with a mod patch this arrogant and disrespectful to the game itself, your efforts would be better spent making your OWN game. Not butchering or bastardizing THIS one for the crime of not being written by you. Your steam review is awful too. Get over yourself. Go write your own narrative. Go make your own game. Don't scribble your cynical nonsense all over this one and expect anyone else but equally delusional, arrogant and entitled people to thank you for it.
I felt like adding that I have actually made my own games, 3 of which have made it to consoles (whether they're any good or not is up for discussion, but they told me to make my own games), but I dunno, I'm not really debating them. It reads more as funny than genuinely hurtful so why engage like it's a fight?
The only one who comes of as ...
... here is you, Nightstar.
If people do not agree with the content of this mod then fine, don't download it. But acting like a self righteous prick who thinks anyone altering the game with this mod is a "narcissistic, self-righteous and absurdly arrogant" person needs to chill the f*#@ out.
EDIT: also what a dramatic name change, next time try not to sound so antagonistic and attack mod authors for something you can ultimately ignore.
Take your own advice, if you don't like this mod, move on and F-Off.
BTW this mod seems awesome and I'm downloading it right now. Thank you for taking the time to rewrite the dialogue for those of us that appreciate it.
there were lots of opportunities to do this in the game. make the plotline of the economic disaster more relevant. talk more about the capital/aldaria and its strange past (war of lilies, the caldosia invasion) continue to build upon march's rude attitude (why is he rude? why does he decide to soften up to the player?). expand upon caldarus' disconnect with humans + his long history with the kingdom of aldaria. it has many plotlines that could solve this lack of conflict/stakes, but they don't put to use what they've already made. which is why you're completely wrong with the "it isn't what this game is trying to be" too. this game has tons of exciting plotlines that make the worldbuilding feel rich and real, but so far it hasn't been included beyond a fleeting mention.

i had to uninstall though, since it was crashing me whenever new dialogue from the update on 4/14 would occur, but i have endorsed and tracked the mod! i cant wait to see more <3
I have GOT to find a way to future proof this thing.
Thank you for letting me know! I'll fix it real soon!
Looking forward to seeing what you do with this project btw!
Also completed Balor's lines (again for the most part) and anything I haven't written is replaced by the previous lines written by the creators, so I don't see any reason not to install it (also very easy to undo by clicking Verify Integrity of Game Files on Steam)
But it's also still a humble effort. Other people seem to dig the changes so I say go for it.
And thanks!!
I've had troubles with progressing past the character creation screen. Replacing the localization.json file in the folder seems to work only for the intro cutscene. Clicking anything on the character creation screen forces the entire game to close. Am I missing a step?
@beaucoupboku it should be TOTALLY fixed now! Found a new way to upload the files with minimal chance of breaking other aspects of the game!
for the longest time my friends would recommend fields of mistria to me, and i was like oh okay its cute, and played for maybe 10 hours and never picked it back up
i like the game in theory, but in practice it just... bored me. i couldnt understand why everyone was recommending it and hailing it as a farming sim better than stardew, and i think thats because everything was so pristine and perfect. i didnt realize any of that until i read your review on steam! i figured i was just bored because it was an EA game with not a lot of content, but after reading the review you left i came to the conclusion that i COULD enjoy it anyway if the characters drew me in more than they do
like, i dont really play games, especially not farming sims like rune factory or story of seasons or stardew to experience perfection? the previous games are GOOD and loved because their characters are complicated, you want to get to know them more and experience their growth and personality changes along with them
fields of mistria though a cute game just... didnt have any of that for me. youre basically immediately well liked by the townspeople, with the exception of march who comes around quickly, and the town doesnt have any real.. major issues? stardew doesnt either, to be fair, but when you play stardew youve got your own set of things to handle re: starting a farm, making enough money to sustain it, learning new skills, befriending and learning about the townspeople - things are broken, its a small secluded town with only one carpenter, so you help fix bridges and boats and things to expand the world and the people in it
fields of mistria starts off with a "we have this major issue, we're getting no money in and cant sustain the town like this, its right after an earthquake" but then you come in coincidentally and ... wow, everyones problems are solved. nobody's really suspicious of you in the beginning excluding march - you dont really have to make an effort to befriend anyone because theyre all immediately kind to you, and quirks in characters are never seen as strange or weird - more of like "haha, thats just the way they are! dont worry, itll be fixed eventually!" and then bam, it is.
caldarus, like you said, is my favorite character because he's human feeling. he wants to BE a person, to be able to do things like a person would, and expresses that in melancholy longing and the brief conversations he has with you, but you can only speak to him once a day. it feels like you get that one experience of humanity in a non-human character and then you almost go out into a world of .. barbie dolls? for lack of a better term?
i really liked rf4 and the early story of seasons games because for all intents and purposes the love interests are WEIRD. they've all got quirks that arent seen as good or bad, they're all real feeling people with their own interests and desires and stories outside of your player character, which isnt something i see in fields of mistria often.
tldr: i agree, i wish we had more weird characters and/or characters with quirks that arent immediately gotten rid of if theyre mildly upsetting or praised if theyre traditionally good. most traits in human beings are net neutral, so like eiland and adeline because they're hard workers AND siblings get into petty sibling fights because they're both exhausted, or balor struggling with his past and the stark change of trying to make it as a travelling merchant, or hell, valen having SOME kind of stress being a small town doctor
I'll be releasing another update soon! There's a LOTTTA dialogue!
That said, I'm glad you're interested! Do let me know what you think so far!
Haha, yes! It's so weird how we get to tell March to "stuff it" or "kill it with kindness" in nearly all of his scenes, but turn into a railroad mousey doormat once we get to play Juniper's heart events. It feels off and gives me (after-2010) Bethesda main player character vibes.
Edit: Ah, just wanted to let you know that with the update 0.12.0 (18th November) this mod is currently broken. New game and saved game won't load (no other mods)
Thankfully it seems extremely fixable it'll just take a little extra time. Thank you for the heads up! Verifying the game's files and getting the old localization.json should fix the game up just fine for the meantime.

And thank you so much! I can't wait for it to be fixed! Could be today! Could be soon, hard to tell!
