What should I get my wife this week?

[Andomesa290]

Hi I have been thinking about getting my wife a game this week as a surprise, and was thinking of The Witcher 3, she always liked mature games like that but is more a mass effect fan, would she like it, and what do you think about The Witcher because i have never played The Witcher and if I do buy it maybe i'll get the trilogy on steam and we'll both play it... Or maybe I can get her Clannad, she loves those japanese visual novels too.

 

What do you think I should get her this weekend?

Buy something that she'll be able to enjoy for a decent length of time. My wife prefers books over video games, even though she's a die-hard RTS gamer.

One thing to know about the Witcher franchise: the first game is MUCH lower budget than the second and third game. The story and even the graphics of game itself are pretty good (considering the year it came out), but my biggest problem wass the awkward menu interface and controls, which are a big part of the experience. There are large mods that somewhat overhaul the game, but they can only do so much.

 

The franchise as a whole is dark, mature and lore heavy. If you both like that type of thing, it is a great experience.

Then I know she and I both will love it... she especially loves tweaking games to her liking much like myself... I will probably get all three this monday... any mods to recommend? or should I just go with what I know? I never was good at telling a good game until I bought it which is why I am asking you guys, and for books... she's the one who got me into halo, she gave me a copy of the flood, and then when I was done reading it she gave me the game... very good anniversary gift... and so was dinner that night... :wink:

The mod called "Rise of the White Wolf" is a complete overhaul of the first that changes too many things to list here, I'd recommend that for the first game. The second and third games honestly don't need that many mods, and can be enjoyed thoroughly without them. But like you said, if you enjoy tweaking there are hundreds of great mods.

Hmm, me and her will probably fight over who can make the better build... that's the extent of our fighting by the way, when we fight, it's over tech, weird I know, I a nerd am married to a nerd, who has nerd children... I am so lucky...

and oh... she want's a mod for fallout 4 involving half-life, is there a mod that has an hev suit?, and I have to go get some groceries for lasagna tonight sorry...
