Re: Does ANYONE\'s wife/girlfriend like SEIV?
This game just gives my wife something else to bug me about. (she hates anything about aliens.)

Re: Does ANYONE\'s wife/girlfriend like SEIV?
My wife hates this game too. She also hates Babylon 5, which is how (oddly enough) I got hooked on this game.

Re: Does ANYONE\'s wife/girlfriend like SEIV?
My gf doesn't understand the entire concept of gaming. She can't see how "violence" in any form could be entertaining, and is baffled about why anyone would find roleplaying games "fun".

Violence not entertaining???? Man, I don't think I have ever met one living soul that did not at least UNDERSTAND that concept. its just too ingrained in human nature not to understand. like or dislike as you will, its a pretty hard concept not to grasp.
I think I recall Heinlein writing (and correctly so, as far as I can figure) that laughter and humor are invariably based on situations derived from the suffering of others.
which is why "non sum-zero" methods of entertainment are rare to non-existant. but that is a concept that would take f-ing forever to even explain, much less discuss.

Re: Does ANYONE\'s wife/girlfriend like SEIV?
My wife is into games like Age of Wonders, but not the space games. She says as long as I don't load a 'Space Empires Theme' onto the desktop she can deal with it...

Re: Does ANYONE\'s wife/girlfriend like SEIV?
Ummmm,.......NO! Anything that takes up time away from her, NOT. Luckily I work nights, she works days and we spend time together on weekends. All weekdays from when I get up till 4pm are SE4 days  .(course, she dosn't know I play that much,  ).
