Hey everyone! How's it going?
I just wanted to start a little discussion. I've got over 400 hours in Stardew Valley, and I even went as far as resetting all my achievements and deleting my save files just to experience that feeling of playing the game for the first time again...
Anyway, that's not really the point of this post.
WHY IS EVERYONE SO OBSESSED WITH HALEY?
Seriously, I've seen countless comments praising her like she's some kind of goddess, with people constantly saying she's the best marriage candidate in the entire game.
Don't get me wrong, she's absolutely gorgeous, and she has a genuinely great character development arc throughout the game.
Although I'm pretty sure her infamous "Ew, no" at the Flower Dance has traumatized quite a few players. 💀
And let's not forget that one of the first things she does when she meets us is criticize our clothes. LMAO.
I've actually dated Haley in a few of my saves, but honestly? I've never really understood all the hype surrounding her.
I've always preferred Emily. Maybe she's just my type of woman, but I end up marrying her in almost 100% of my playthroughs. Occasionally I'll marry Leah or Penny instead, but Emily will always be my favorite.
Anyway, back to the actual question:
What makes Haley so special to you guys?
Is it the character development? Is she just your ideal type? Or are you all secretly masochists who enjoy being treated like garbage before winning someone's heart? LMAO. 😭
And just to be clear, I'm not trying to criticize Haley or anyone who chooses to marry her. I'm not saying Emily or any other character is objectively better than her, either.
I'm genuinely curious about what makes so many people love her.
I'd really like to hear your opinions and experiences!
So, Haley fans, what made you fall for her?
