It has been a fairly uneventful and quite lonely day. Although to be fair, I've been quite the loner as crowds seems quite frightening. Although nobody can truly speak, to watch a previously formed crowd from afar seems much less likely to induce humiliation than blindly walking into one will.
There were a few individuals that I interacted with briefly but my social skills have yet to be mastered which results in many awkward moments. The most awkward that I have encountered so far is when somebody bows down to me and I wonder if perhaps I have wronged them or they have mistaken me for somebody else. Or maybe that is the polite way to greet a stranger that you encounter. Is that true?
I use bows to say hello, goodbye or thank other deers, and have seen many reciprocate in the same way. I'm really no expert in the area yet, but I've seen some players uses only "semi" bows to great each other, though it seems less respectful toward someone you don't know well.
I guess it is a gesture used mostly between friends or good acquaintances?
That makes sense. It's just that I might be standing there or I might spawn and they'll notice and bow and it throws me off because it's not like I initiated anything. I really need to get back up to speed as I used to have semi-decent social skills in this game with a different character of mine and now I just have no idea, haha. I'm going to assign actions to shortcuts and hopefully that will help me too because I take way too long to respond if anybody actually does an action. Thanks for the tip though, that should help me a lot
Same for me too. I usually bow to greet, say goodbye/thank you and if anyone 'appears' sleeping besides or near to me, I will bow then as well. If I think I know a deer, I will often greet them with a nuzzle, unless I'm unsure and wait to see if they do first ^^
I really like the screenshots too, especially that first one c:
Thanks for the advice! I put some actions to shortcuts so that should help a lot because most of the time I'm fumbling with the mouse to click and perform an action when shortcuts are so much easier But I figured out how to do a "half-bow" which should work as an acceptable greeting, I think, haha.
Oh! Actually, I would really appreciate if you could tell me how to put actions to shortcuts.
I'm just as lost as you with this point-and-click system, and also tend to take too much time between actions.
I don't even have a mouse, but a pad, and it makes everything so much more difficult ( I can't even do close-ups)...
I'm sure there's no need to worry about your in-game social skills, observing how other players interact is a great way to learn the use of emotes, or get re-acquainted with it in your case.
Argh, it feels a bit weird to say this when I've been playing for only two weeks.
I hope I don't sound as bad as I think.
Sorry for the late reply, I didn't notice a new comment, heh.
I found out how to do it here but basically you hover over the action you want to set and you press the button you want to set it. So if I hover my cursor over the Bow button and press F1, it will be set as F1. Then you just do the same for the other actions
Unfortunately it doesn't work... Hmm, guess I'll try to post an entry about it and see if anyone can come up with something.
Thanks for the tip anyway Samorn. :3
How are this "social skills" of yours doing, btw?
Still pretty bad, although(!) I realized my game doesn't lag on my laptop so I might end up playing more on here since I might be able to actually interact properly, heh.
Well, whatever akwardness with socializing in-game you may feel, I personally find it gives quite the cute side to your character, in my opinion at least. (!!) ^^
