Really annoying...


I'm playing as a woman in the sexy (not sure why it's considered sexy but EVERYONE in the region thinks it is) noble woman outfit and when I'm in my house the whole town has hearts above their heads and they just come into my home whenever they want to! All the time! Lesbians too! Anybody else having this problem?

Yes! It's incredibly annoying. I wish there was some way you could shut the front door and lock it. I'd like my house to be my only escape from those hero stalking freaks.

I'm not sure why that outfit is considered sexy either I supose less skin shown = more sex factor.

I'm such a rebel I leave a message before the beep!
I ran with scissors and lived!

I know, I hate it when this random ass villagers come into my house!

I remember when I finally bought Castle Fairfax, this random ass lady just started following me everywhere in there.

In Bowerstone, at least half the town will follow me into whatever house I so happen to be (trying) to redecorate and whenever I go into the bar to sleep. (really creepy.) Also, it gets really annoying when the buggers just block the doorway.

Luckily for me, my marital home is Serenity Farm in Oakfield, so none of the annoying ass cows can follow me there.

Yeah I haven't quite figured that out either... I guess it's like you say... less skin equals sexy, 'cuz when I tried on the hot pants or the corset, they all thought I was ugly lol

I haven't had the problem of the villagers following me around, much... but I just started over after not playing for a really long time so I probably just don't remember it.

Just start casting spells with the safety on and they will be scared away. Or use the time slowing spell so you don't commit vandalism. If you are evil just kill everyone that gets in your way.

Good call Dimebag! Everyone leaving you alone is definitely the upside to being evil lol. I just earned my halo so now the droves of groupies are ridiculous! At least you should be able to get rid of them by going into your house. Glad to hear it's not just me that's having the problem!

Yes, it's insanely annoying. I even tried firing my weapon to make them scatter, but they just stand there shaking and making weird noises. That is the reason I moved my wife out of Bowerstone and into Brightwood farm where we had our family. Still annoying villagers, but I only ever get one following me into my home.

This is one of the many smaller things I wished Molyneux would've considered when developing this game.
Here's my list:

1. The annoying villagers following you everywhere. It's nice to have fans, but obsessive stalkers (on such a grandiose scale) are too much. I wish that he would've made your house a sanctuary that only you, your family and people you have on follow can enter (Or, as someone suggested, you could close and lock the door).

2. Punching. It was sorely missed in this game. It conveys more emotion than expressions and is less fatal than weapons.

3. The lazy repairmen. If I break a window or a fence, it remains broken until doomsday. This wasn't a problem in the last game, why is it a problem here?

Yes it is annoying, especially when they crowd around you and you CANNOT get out.

I found that the actions of the villagers to be one of the most irritating parts of the game. Here is an example: I just got married and I take my new wife to our home and up to the bedroom. We are followed by some other female villager, who then says one of those lines, "If you got me a ring, we could get married."

What the heck?! I just got married. Geez lady, you are standing right next to my wife, for crying out loud!

I wish the game had the following, when it comes to dealing with villagers:
1) You could single out a person to build reaction with (without having to make them follow you halfway across the world, just to be alone), so that you are not "wooing" whole crowds at the same time.
2) Villagers did not act like you had a long time relationship with them, unless you actually did have a relationship with them. I hate doing expressions in order to impress some shopkeeper, only to be surrounded by a gaggle of villagers complaining that I don't love them anymore and that they want a ring.
3) After you get married, other people stopped bugging you to marry them!

It is quite a problem. They all all hypocrits as well, they walk through your house as if they are in a museum but try going into theirs, even if you own and are renting it they will ask you to leave and if you don't they will inform the guards. Shame you can't do that to them.
