A partner should never emotionally manipulate their match and Stardew Valley does nothing to show that Abigail’s behavior is based in harmful relationship practices. If that wasn’t bad enough, within the game, this is framed as acceptable. While this isn’t a long list, Abigail’s lines contain more instances of projecting her insecurity onto you, controlling who you talk to, or insinuating she’ll leave you than any other bachelorette’s (you can check if you want to.) The fact that she is the only character to have a line as cruel as saying she wished she had married someone else, should be proof enough that Abigail is written as uniquely abusive. It reads, “I heard you secretly gave a gift, do I need to feel jealous?” The second issue came in the form of a line where she says, “I wonder if we’ll live here our entire lives? I might get bored.” Finally, the last, and most devastating, “I wonder if I could’ve done better… I was very good friends with Sebastian before we met.
The first clue I got was from a line she says if you give one of the other bachelorettes a present. I first became aware of the issue when I was looking at her post-marriage dialogue. Beware: Spoilers for Abigail’s Dialogue Credit: Chucklefish This is when I discovered Stardew Valley has an Abagail problem. In a recent save file, I decided that I would give her storyline a go and, being my naturally impatient self, I looked online to see what her dialogue was like. She’s, initially, an interesting character to get to know. She’s painted as the edgy 20-year-old at odds with her parents. She’s never written as mean or controlling in these scenes. As you befriend her you play video games together, and play instruments in the afternoon rain. Abigail’s plotline in Stardew Valley begins rather innocuously.
