Summary
AStardew Valleyplayer has pointed out that an interaction with Sebastian that was added in the game’s 1.6 update. The addition is quite charming and helps to further develop theStardew Valleycharacter’s personality.
InStardew Valley, players can build relationships with the majority of the NPCs in town. This can be accomplished by talking with them, giving gifts, fulfilling quests, and so on. EveryStardew ValleyNPC has gifts they love, like, and hate, but this particular bit of dialogue takes that discernment a step further.
Stardew Valleyplayer and Reddit user aliensuperstars_ shared a charming moment their character shared with Sebastian, when they gifted the NPC a bowl of pumpkin soup. Avid fans of the character will know that it’s one of thebest gifts for Sebastian inStardew Valley, but prior to the 1.6 update, he would simply accept it graciously. Now, as seen in the screenshots, Sebastian acknowledges that it’s soup and thinks back fondly about its flavor. It’s an appropriate nod, as the only way that the player can learn how to makePumpkin Soupis by getting in the good graces of Robin, his mother, who sends the family recipe to the farmer once they have a high enough relationship score.
Sebastian’s Soup Acknowledgment Is Just One of 1.6’s Many Added Details
TheStardew Valley1.6 update brought a ton of new content to the game, including events, more dialogue, cold weather clothing for NPCs, and more. While this dialogue detail with Sebastian is a tiny facet of it, it’s one of those things that players really love. It’s apparently also not the only time that a mention is made of Sebastian particularly loving his family’s recipe. In theofficialStardew Valleycookbook, a recipe for a pumpkin soup is included, and there’s a small tip that notes that he adores his mom’s soup, but doesn’t want to tell her that.
Of course, this isn’t the only new dialogue that NPCs have in response to gifts. ConcernedApe added unique dialogue for NPCs who receive specific types of gifts that are part of their favorites. For example, Sebastian will also mention wanting to try and hatch any giftedFrog EggorVoid Egg, while Abigail will mention thatStardrop Tealooks like her favorite, Amethyst, or will excitedly flip through a Monster Compendium due to her interest in exploring the caves.
After all these years, regular updates like these keep adding new features that surprise long-time players. While thefuture ofStardew Valley’s updatesremains to be seen, chances are fans will keep finding little details like this for a long time, even if 1.6 is the last major content update for the title.
