I think I fucked up bad, /v/
So I've been trying to get my girlfriend more into video games. She plays mostly casual stuff on her phone these days, and says she has a hard time finding games she likes in today's market. She admits to being very picky. She likes some of the older stuff, mostly rpgs. Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, the Final Fantasies, et cetra. She says she really enjoys stories and video game lore, so I got her Skyrim, since it's pretty much a gold standard when it comes to rpgs. I added some of the graphics mods, but none of the ones that change gameplay. I didn't want to overload her on them for her first of what I was sure to be many playthroughs.
So she loaded the game up and was going through that long ass opening scene. She spends a lot of time customizing her character, since she enjoys that kind of thing. She had fun with all the modded hairstyles since some of those mods look pretty amazing. Anyway, she was eventually done with chargen and all that. I decided to have a little fun, though. In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have done this.
I told her that you get executed if you pick the wrong race.
At first, she laughed and thought I was joking. I was smiling because I wanted to watch her reaction when her character almost gets executed. Then the scene played out and she goes into freakout mode because her character is approaching the chopping block. Right about the time her character kneels and the axe is about to come down, she slams the laptop shut and screams "Fuck this racist game!" She packed her things and left.
So now she's pissed and won't talk to me.
Any tips on how I can fix this?
She picked khajiit, btw.

To be fair Khajits are the niggers of Tamriel.
>>388807131
Nah, youve found the perfect way to weed out shit girlfriends.
Keep doing this until you find one that starts fapping to the scene
>>388807131
>she picked khajit
give her the barbs
>>388807131
While I find it hard to believe that this is actually true, this still gave me a nice laugh in the morning. Thanks, Anon.

>Skyrim's intro turns into some sort of a turing test for weeding out shit gfs
>>388807214
This.
>>388807131
1. Don't be a significant other to a regard who can't even wait to see if a joke is true
2. Fuck her for picking the catshit
>>388807131
This is bait or w/e, but I'll pretend it ain't.
You're dating one dumb motherfucker if she believed you die instantly in a game of nine races for choosing the wrong one. She continues her dumbness ignoring the very obvious incoming dragon, and rather cliche 'saved right before you die' opening seen in many games/vidya/movies.
>Packed her things and left, and won't talk to me
that seems extreme, even for the most volatile of women.
It ain't awful bait, but it ain't great neither.

>>388807634
What the fuck is it, then? A simulation game?
>>388807697
It's shit
>>388807697
its an action game, it has about as many RPG elements as Castle Crashers
>>388807131
>girlfriend
You deserve everything bad that happens
>>388807774
Action Adventure, but yea
Last actual RPG Elder Scrolls was Oblivion, as it still had stats and shit
>>388807774
>arpgs aren't rpgs
wew, lad
>>388807958
It's not an arpg tho.
Why are you all a bunch of faggots and focusing on the girlfriend angle? The real bait is here.
>I got her Skyrim, since it's pretty much a gold standard when it comes to rpgs
>>388807774
Castle Crashers is good though
>>388807958
No one said it was an action RPG
its an Action Adventure game
Even fucking Call of Duty has more RPG elements than Skyrim these days
Skyrim is an RPG
>>388807131
Needs more effort
>>388807207
Redguard?
>>388808502
yeah, trust me, Skyrim is definitely an open world action role-playing video game. Would I ever lie to you?
>>388808565
Redguards aren't thieves and dopefiends.They're also allowed inside cities becuase they can be trusted to not be a dickhead.
>>388807131
>since it's pretty much a gold standard
Stopped reading here. Try harder next time.

>it's an RPG because 2 unreliable sources say so
>>388809742
>it's not an RPG because my totally reliable autism says so
>>388808346
He didn't say it was bad, it just isn't an RPG. Stop being so defensive
>>388809810
>thinks Steam tags are reliable
>calls people autistic
>>388808565
they are the poo in loos
>>388807131
Send her CV to Polygon.I missed these threads.

Steam tags are extremely unreliable, they even mistakenly tagged Battleborn as F2P even though only the demo is free
your girlfriend is pissed over imaginary races lol
