Omg, and there was a line in the blog post about a client unexpectedly asking for a 'child's tent', as if they're trying to drag our attention to it.

I'm pretty convinced the EP will be farming now. I don't know why people don't think it's bonding with nature - I mean, you have to understand nature and work with it to have any success at farming. Good luck harvesting any crops if they're in the wrong soil, or the rain doesn't come. I also think it's probably a hint at having to 'bond' with your farm animals to get good produce out of them, Stardew Valley style. I'm also hoping that there might be horses included in the pack, just because they go with farming so well - and maybe you have to bond with wild ones in order to adopt them - or 'bond with nature' a lot to find the secret, hidden unicorn.

I don't think of it as bonding with nature because all the Farmers I've known personally have had a more adversarial relationship with nature than a bonding one. Not with the land on their own farm, but with the trees surrounding it, wild animals, etc.

A bond doesn't have to be a completely good bond, though. Just a connection to it, more so than someone living in a suburb buying all their food from the supermarket. I think someone literally living on the land and working it is going to bond with nature more than someone who goes for a hike in a nature reserve once a year.
