Why villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons are not quite appealing

In previous titles, villagers played a more important role than in New Horizons. They used to have more expressions and talking to them was more fun than ever. Especially in ACNH, after getting all the frames of your villager, communicating with them becomes a burden. Moreover, there are not enough dialogues in the game as compared to other titles in the series.

Because of lack of dialogue, most players like to ignore their villagers because they don’t want to hear the same dialogues all the time. This is quite understandable and Nintendo should introduce new dialogues to the game soon. Another reason that makes villagers very boring is not getting enough favors from them.

In the past, you could talk to your villager and ask them for a favor or quest they want you to do for them. This made exploring the island more fun and logging in daily was never an issue. However, in New Horizons, you can’t get the quest from your villagers until they approach you themselves. In addition to that, the chances of getting a quest are completely random and you may not get even one for many days.

It was very easy in previous titles, as at least one of your villagers always had some task for you. This helped a lot in creating a strong bond with them while in New Horizons, this is not the case. Most players just like to spend their time with them to increase the friendship level; thus, if any villager leaves the island, they get more excited to invite a new one. Do you like villagers in New Horizons or in previous titles? Let us know in the comments down below.
