i'm sure others have made comments along these lines. i can accept the game's storyline shifting and being renovated, retconned as they settle into a direction they want, but i think the rough thing as a long time player is that these changes don't end & there's no forecast in sight that the story and characters will ever..'settle'. to be clear, i don't personally mind as much that teased but still unreleased parts change around even drastically in development - better that than them being in the game and then being pulled back out under you - but that isn't always the case. you can accrue understanding of the current lore, but there's nothing that assures you it won't shift majorly again in the future. it's a bit tough having played this game since 2014 and feeling like i genuinely know less about how the story now reads start to finish than people who just started yesterday, and there's no way of playing back through the altered material in the beginning without making a new account. new quest updates have been fun for me nevertheless, & i certainly like the added interactivity of things like dialogue options, but it's hard to be quite as invested in what feels now like a discontinuous thread - hard to make wacky theories, hard to really feel you've got a grasp on characters identities. it feels at times more like playing through a big WIP, always needing to be mindful of the still-wet paint.

me: if I want a pet chicken I guess I’ll have to shell out to buy gary goldtooths bourgeois chickens
gary: these ones are very unique, they can teleport
me: I kind of feel like the average jorvegian chicken can
gary: the ones you’re thinking of only run away from you. the ones I have up for adoption are the only ones that actually follow you!
me: at a price tag of 3333 pieces of real gold I wouldn’t call it adoption
gary: hey now, it’s not for my benefit. the hens would like to see the amount to know you’re a trustworthy owner. isn’t that right, ladies? See, this one is named Gold Digger
me: your name is literally goldtooth
sunfield hen:
me: it’s right behind me isn’t it

i didn't end up entering the sso rainbow horse contest back in the day because i couldnt hash out a good design that i thought would actually make it in, but one of my ideas was. you know that black paper you would scratch to reveal rainbow underneath.

I can accept that the story and characters have changed from their original iterations & that reminiscing on all the ways they could’ve stayed the same is not really a productive thought process by now. And it’s not that the revamps don’t have their own merits. My one real thing is, I love the aesthetics of The Miscreants as the separate thing they are - but imagine if THAT had been Lisa Peterson’s feisty, hedgehog-hair musical sound. You already hear it everywhere in the game in festivals and races. It’s become part of the essential star stable sound. Everyone listen to “face in the crowd” and imagine it with me.

Sabine: So long, suckers!
Alex: Oh no she rode off with the fireworks lol. Just kidding I defused them while her back was turned.
Linda: Alex! You’re brilliant!
Alex: I know, I know. Well, couldn’t have done it without MC’s help. Here you go, quest reward
[You obtained Sabine’s riding pants!]
Linda: OK but why do you have that.
Sabine, 5 miles away: Ugh, these fireworks are busted. Those dirty soul riders pranked me…Laugh it up, soul riders, that’s the last time you’ll…WHERE ARE MY PANTS??
