Returner decision guide
Fields of Mistria 1.0: Should You Restart?
You do not need to restart for Fields of Mistria 1.0. Existing saves carry over, new content remains available, and completed achievement conditions unlock retroactively.
The four decisions
Restart?No—old saves carry over
Achievements?Earned retroactively for completed actions
Price increase?No 1.0 increase was planned
Wait for console?No port or date was announced
What to do on an old save
- Load the save and let achievement checks complete.
- Review villagers now capped at 10 hearts and continue a romance path if desired.
- Open the museum and check new sets rather than relying on old completion totals.
- Resume the Town Repair story, whose completion path arrived with 1.0.
- Recheck every mod before loading an irreplaceable save.
Compressed 1.0 change list
1.0 raised NPC hearts to 10, added proposals, weddings, marriage and optional children, raised Renown to 100, completed the Town Repair storyline, added dungeon quests and rewards, expanded museum sets and rewards, and added achievements plus beta localizations.
