Have the same scenario going on in my workplace.

All of us were talking games the other day (rarely ever happens) and Skyrim came into discussion cause a couple of my friends want to go buy it with there next check. Out of nowhere this girl starts talking about it to my Manager (one of the people who's buying it), and goes "I spent an hour and 45 mins JUST in the Character screen ALONE! There are plenty of things to consume your time in this game."

When we said the word Skyrim her face LITERALLY LIT UP with excitement and joy! It was F'ing CRAZY! Like.. wait.. WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?! O.O

-gets on the knee without an arrow in it, and proposes-

XD

if you take an arrow to the knee you're a guard, and guards cant propose im afraid, they all have to die violently protecting skyrim from dragons you see

And I don't know if this has been brought up yet or not...

SHE WANTS TO PLAY SKYRIM!

DEAR GOD, DO YOU KNOW THE HELL SOME OF US HAVE TO GO THROUGH?!

I HAD TO SIT THROUGH ROMANCE MOVIES, BECAUSE OUR ONLY OPTION WAS OBLIVION, WHICH SHE HATED.

YOU LUCKY LUCKY B******

Be ready to answer questions she might have and help along the way without sounding cocky or know-it-all. If you play a little have ask her where she would like you to go? What would you like me to do?

Let us know how everything goes if you want.

Oh one word of advice to anyone playing skyrim with anyone else:

1) Let them play the way they want to play, do not coach them, do not critique them. If they want your help with how they play the game, they WILL ask your advice or help.

I've just seen it too many times where completely normal people that are not controlling whatsoever become the most controlling psychos when it comes to backseat driving at video games. :thumbsup:

That's another thing I'm a little worried about. I recently watched my brother start playing Skyrim. I didn't mean to, but...I just kept trying to tell him what to do. "Look, if you're going to use the Mage stone then you need to use destruction spells!"

And thank you all for the advice so far. When she and I meet next week, I'll post an update to this topic with how things went if anyone is interested.

saying that I had just forced someone to his knees and cut off his head with two swords.

See after I say that the texts stop, occasionally I get one more mentioning restraining orders. So your half way there, be yourself if she likes you she likes you*, just relax she's already coming over. See how it goes. Whatever you do don't huff, say your doing it wrong, grab the controller and say "like this". Also wear clothes, don't assume.

Even though this won't *technically* be a date, it sure will feel like one, and I want us to have a good time

No, just no if it isn't a date don't over think it and treat it like one just go with the flow.

I think it'd get boring if she started losing over and over...but I dunno.

Nope, she will win a fair few, either because you let her or because she's better than you take both with good humour.

Best advice I can give you is to ignore every single response you've been given here, especially mine. You've already managed to get a girl to come over of her own free will, with the promise of one of the nerdiest things in existence. Most should be getting advice from you.

*Unless yourself isn't great in which case be someone cool, but not Shaft cool.

Wait, what?

The game doesnt matter, the way you act and your personality is what matters. The game is incedental.
Dude seriously?

SHE.

LIKES.

YOU.

Shes more interested in spending time with you than in playing Skyrim.
These.
Heed these wise words my friend. Good luck to you. :3

Remember that she's more interested in spending time with you than in playing a video game. Skyrim will be acting as a 3rd neutral party, like watching a movie or shopping together. A good way to keep from backseat gaming is to just be yourself, but as if you weren't playing skyrim.

Let her come to your place, but when she gets there pretend like you lost the game, then things might get interesting.

Let her play the game, and help guide her through whenever she needs help, and drop a helpful hint every now and then. Do NOT constantly give her advice over her shoulder or tell her she's doing something the "wrong" way.

She's not coming over to play Skyrim.

She's there to spend time with you. Just be yourself.

I hadn't even considered whether or not I should start a new save or let her play my character. Frack.
