"Are you going to choose this dress that Minnie Mouse has prepared for you?"
I was recently playing Disney Magic Castle: My Happy Life 2, and before I entered Magic Castle, my old acquaintance at Disney, Minnie Minnie, prepared me with a delicate red polka dot dress, and before I could react, they dragged me to their new home in town and frantically sent me all kinds of gifts.
First came Mickey, who looked at my empty house and rushed back to his house, choosing a set of Disney-themed wallpaper and carpets to give me; then Goofy, after greeting my stranger, he immediately said, "You can come and pick my farmland at any time later, because we are neighbors." He gave me three kinds of vegetables and fruits for free, and Donald Duck, who gave me a "good quality" fishing rod when I first triggered the mission to visit his house, which is also an important tool for making money early in the game.
It's a real surprise and delight to receive a whole bunch of enthusiastic gifts, because, frankly, with normal plot development, it's unlikely that you'll be so enthusiastic about each other's gifts the first few times you meet with another person who has no interest at all, but such scenes are common in a variety of games. Not only that, but in addition to the "Newbie Pack", you may receive a variety of rare gifts from different NPCs at all stages of the game.
For example, in Pokémon: Sword/Shield and Pokémon: Bright Pearl/Brilliant Diamond, the doctor and champion don't seem to have any special reason to treat me as the "Chosen One" and give me my precious initial Pokémon; in Stardew Grain Language, in addition to the piece of land that Grandpa "gave" to us at the beginning, the villagers also give us some agricultural products and small gifts for various reasons; in "Hades", when you give gifts to the gods, others will give you gifts; and in "Stardew Grain Language", in addition to the piece of land that Grandpa "gave" to us at the beginning, the villagers also gave us some agricultural products and small gifts for various reasons; in "Hades", when you give gifts to the gods, others will give you gifts; and in "Stardew Cereal Language", in addition to the piece of land that Grandpa "gave" to us at the beginning, the villagers also give us some agricultural products and small gifts for various reasons; in "Hades", when you give gifts to the gods, others will give you gifts; and in "Stardew Grain Language", in addition to the piece of land that Grandpa "gave" to us at the beginning, the villagers also give us some agricultural products and small gifts for various reasons; in "Hades", when you give gifts to the gods, others will also give you gifts; and in "Stardew Grain Language", in addition to the piece of land that Gather! In "Animal Forest Friends Association", small animals are particularly fond of sending you unexpected surprise gifts in various ways, without asking for anything in return.
Of course, although some of the reasons for gift-giving are really humiliating, the significance of their existence is self-evident: the game can solve many problems encountered in the game process through the way of "NPC gifts". For example, "gifting" to the player at the beginning of the game can not only quickly explain the plot background of the game, but also solve the dilemma of the novice player's poor equipment in the early stage. In addition, in the middle and late stages of the game, the setting of NPCs giving gifts to players also exists as a reward to guide and encourage players to complete tasks, which helps to advance the progress of the game. It is worth mentioning that giving gifts is not necessarily the privilege of NPCs, players can also establish relationships with NPCs by giving gifts back, and when gifts are used as a means of "increasing favorability" in the game, they have an extremely important role in shaping the image and personality of a game character and enhancing the player's immersion in the game world.
In addition to the objective reasons for existence mentioned above, many times the gifts given by NPCs as some kind of symbolic item have long been more important to the player than the role set by the developer itself. For example, in some games, gifts left by NPCs who "take the lunch box" early will become precious carriers for players and their memories.
In the game world, many players have received strange gifts from NPCs, some of which are extremely rare treasures, and some of which are just low-level supplies, appearances or supplies that can be found everywhere, but interestingly, regardless of the price, regardless of whether they are useful or useless, few people will really dislike gifts with good intentions. Perhaps because of this, although there are many ways to interact with the game, "gift giving" is definitely a great way for players to remember a certain plot or a character.
So you probably have a memory of an NPC giving you a gift, right?

Miss Frost
I think of a gorilla neighbor in "Moving Forest" who I think is ugly and made a picture of him into a hanging painting and gave it to me... Success makes me never forget him.

Then here must be a nomination for "Mother" in "Moving Forest"! Throughout the year, "Mom" always sends words of concern and gifts in the mail. I have never appeared on camera, but it is the most worrying.

Why do I play games to give NPC gifts for the sake of brushing up on goodwill...
