YOU STOLE MY DAUGHTER. I died trying to save her.

Hey Sunflower... thanks.  I'm Ally.  My mom abandoned me.  She was digging graves.  She told me her milk was dry (it very clearly wasn't) and told me to head east. I did and found the berry patch, where I also found you. You raised me and eventually Sally (my sister, who had met the same fate).  I found another abandoned sister later, Smith, who had made her way to another area of the town and found someone else to raise her.  We all had tough first moments, but I feel like I got lucky with you. Even though the berry patch was failing at that time, you made sure I was fed... and I brought that berry patch back to full force, and composted the rest of my life to make sure we had soil.

One of my great uncles - Taro - killed my mother and her last words were "Tell my story."  I'm telling it.  Mom, you were the worst.  Your daughters lived long lives despite you.

SUnflower, you managed to raise two daughters when you were just a boy in a berry patch. You had a short life and starved, but you let us live.  You, sir... you were the best of the best!

I disagree with this.  I think making the assumption that everyone who asks "Are you new?" is asking because they are going to abandon you if you are is a bad assumption - particularly in big cities.

In a big city, I have the luxury of stopping whatever I was doing, standing in the kitchen or the berry field, and teaching them a skill while they age to three, and explaining some things about city life.  At the very least, I can feed myself, then give them a tour.

It's a little hard in Eve camps thru gen 4 or so, depending on how astute and (re)productive those early gens are. If they've managed to really kick things off well, then I can take a moment to at least explain berry farming or how to craft something basic.  But I'm not going to go over stew at that point.

Might I suggest adding "naming a baby" to the tutorial then?

I’m finding the game is already depressingly murdery. Enough weapons.

Ooh - another thing. There oughta be a section in the basic tutorial on child-rearing.  Because some babies die because people don't realize they have to feed their kids.

I played the tutorial a couple times. I'm relatively new to the game but really enjoying it. I think the /hatchet thing is minimally useful.  If you don't know what's needed for a hatchet, it doesn't really guide you in a meaningful way (that I could figure out) toward what you should be doing to create a hatchet.  I was holding a basket when I typed in /hatchet... and it told me there were no uses for a basket in creating a hatchet. Okay.  But once I'd built a hatchet, it never figured out that I had done the task and didn't need the help anymore. So... I feel like it needs fine-tuning.  There are players who will need more help, and those who will need or want less.  How can you accommodate the players who need more guidance in a tutorial... so that those who want less can turn it off and get on with playing the game and figuring it out?

Yeah, but if I'm a kid and I've just spawned in, I have no idea what the makeup of the society is. My mom could be the doctor and my uncle could be taking me away from a bear attack, for all I know.  There's very little reason for me to jump away unless the man threatens me. 

And it's particularly creepy when the dude comes back and says, "I killed your kid." Okay.. thanks, ya monster.

I was just a Forget! The city was dying (Rocky was right, I managed to get the last wheat fields planted but there was so little water, it was hard to compost anything.  And the berry fields were too darn big, it became hard to maintain with so few of us there after the griefer took so many out.)

Now I want to get born there again just to see if I can venture east-er egging.
