Female Gamers....

Originally posted by Asphyxiate: You can include my Witch-Queen in this thread as well - one more for the ladies (and I guess for the men too, seeing as I'm replying, oops). She doesn't spend the same amount of time I do on the RPG's but she does greatly enjoy them. One day I'll convince her to link up (oo-er) for a wee spot of multiplayer action. I also still have to persuade her to sign up on these boards, but I think she already spends too many hours staring at a computer at work. Incidentally, I've noticed that should she be in 'gaming mode', she's almost Impossible to beat. Has anyone else noticed similar rushes of blood and psychotic tendencies among their loved ones? One scene in Baldurs II I was having a great deal of trouble with. Witch-Queen bounces into the room with a glass of Merlot, sips, steals control of the mouse, hastes+defensive harmony's, and wades right through the whole pack of monsters, swords and arrows flying with no trouble! Takes another sip and walks nonchalantly off. Pout.

Amen see my earlier post. Also when I was at my friends we were playing SSX (a snow boarding game on the PS2) and we were struggling with some of the hard tricks - and my friend is very good at this game. His GF has a go and manages to do two of the most difficult tricks, without evening breaking into a sweat! Frightening

Originally posted by IdiotRogue: Personally, I would like to see more well developed female characters. When I played Icewind Dale, I thought the stories of Kaylessa (of the Severed Hand), and What's His Name's daughter (that elven semi-lich/wraith dude) would make terrific story lines if developed. Besides, we needn't worry about a decrease in the violence level. I seem to recall more than one of the board's ladies doing very happy victory dances over the maimed corpses of at least one particularly difficult opponent... hehehe...

Crush Kill Maim Destroy!!! BWAHAHAHAHA

uh, Hi there! I admit it, I get a RUSH doing in a dragon or finally finishing a difficult battle. With my multiplayer game we trounced that darned LICH (Kangaxx) a few weeks ago after MANY reloads and I have to admit, by that time I could have danced all over the $%$% liches dead undead self!

You were not alone, CloudbringingPostMistressSpammerMostMagnificent. I recall a few others who probably made jewelry out of Kagaanx's various bits. Besides, history shows us that women in combat can be as brutal as men (Bodacia, women in the Soviet Army during WWII, Israeli Army women, Demi Moore as 'GI Jane'...)

Originally posted by Fljotsdale: Does she read fantasy books? If so, try her with Might & Magic 6 - For Blood & Honour. Graphics not up to present standards but ok, and game-play is easy to get into. There is lots of stuff that is not dungeon based but nice and easy (There are some quite difficult dungeons as well). It should be cheap, too. It's from 3do, New World Computing. If she is not into fantasy, she will probably NEVER want to play AD&D games.

No.....Nothing fantasy

Hi! I'm also from W&W, I don't post alot, but I check in and read the posts whenever I can. I couldn't resist replying to this one. I'm 43, relatively new to computers (6 years ago I thought a mouse was a cute little furry thing), my first game was Simon the Sorceror, and I've been hooked ever since. Sometimes dinner is late because I'm lost in a dungeon and can't find the kitchen! I'm glad to know there are so many other female gamers. I don't know any in "real" life.

Hi Sandy,

Does this mean that the female gamers arejn't female in real life I feel so betrayed...
