OK sth I really, really love about fields of mistria is how accessible it is for an adhd hoarder that also forgets everything and what I was doing in like 5 minutes, like myself
the map has npc locations by default! so even if their schedule changes, you can always find them!
quests never expire! you can work on them at your own pace, and even hold onto one's that require a seasonal item that you didn't have enough of before the season was up, until the season rolls around again!
they don't take your damn money or items when you pass out or die because you lost track of time or are bad at combat!
there's free soup in the tavern that restores a little stamina, and a fountain behind a breakable boulder that does the same! the baths are also pretty cheap, and you even get a few free usages after a certain quest!
it starts with storage in your house, AND! anything you had in said storage can be used for crafting without having to go and retrieve it!
if you don't know where to get an item for a quest, talking to various npcs can tell you where it is!
if you need a certain item for the museum collection, you can check out hints on where to get those in the museum itself! and every item that can go in the museum has a tooltip when you over over it, to tell you if you have already donated it or not!
items don't despawn! you can just toss stuff on the floor and come back for it later when you have the inventory space!
if you forget to check your calendar, that's fine! the npcs will tell you about any upcoming events a few times before it arrives, and the start of a new day will tell you if it's someone's birthday!
they give you tutorials in a narrative way, gradually introducing new systems and mechanics as you progress! and these are done via quests that you can go and complete whenever you're ready!
the village progression gives you plenty of rewards and things to help you with your farm, which is very encouraging to keep at it!
the upgrade system just builds up along with doing normal tasks like farming! and you can spend these points however, whenever you like, with many being available right from the start! and you can have all of them if you want, so no need to worry about indecision!
you can go to your diary at home and save whenever you like, and even make another one so you can place them in other areas!
little heart notifications pop up over npc's heads when you progress the relationship, so you have a quick reference on how close you are!
every friday (and saturday after you fix the bridge), all the npcs are in the same place! this makes chatting to everyone and handing out gifts easier if you have trouble remembering to do so!
you have to hold down the button to eat an item! so you don't accidentally poison yourself!
other accessibility options ive really been appreciative of are: being able to turn off rain/snowfall, flashing, screenshake ect. for those with sensitivity, sight, or neurological issues that don't play well with those.
