Wife's request

[szwenk]

Hi all!

My wife's just said to me:
"I need a game which is a bit of witcher, a bit of house building, but no shooter"

FYI she spent around 300h playing witcher, 200h playing Frostpunk, 200h RDR2 and around 200 playing Medevial Dynasty

Any ideas?

hi, let the game programmers know about the new customer demand till then dont shoot use swords.

Wildcard! The Banner Saga games have some similar management mechanics to Frostpunk in the way that story events during the journey bring up moral choices that effect morale and the number of warriors or civilians who survive. It also has a really interesting and beautifully illustrated fantasy setting and story.

Combat is turn based though which may or may not work for your wife.

Not exactly what you asked for but I really cant think of anything I've played that is. Hopefully someone else can.

Maybe Valheim? It does have survival elements though so might not be ideal, but I think it has house building and norse theme.

Saying that I haven't played it. It's supposed to be good. Maybe check out some YouTube videos.

Edit: hah, I see it won PCG's GOTY

Valheim she tried early access (played 16h), but not fun.
Banner Saga Games is cartoon, my wife is not a fun of that.

But I honestly thank YOU for all suggestions. I know it's difficult to satisfy my wife.... especially with a game

A bit of Witcher... which bit?

Subnautica has some good base building, a pretty good story, and a lot of fun exploration. It isn't the kind of game that you're likely to spend 100's of hours in, though.

Hmmm... Frostpunk... has she ever tried the Tropico games? There's a lot of debate about whether 4, 5, or 6 is the best. I ended up playing 4 the most, though, and it is the cheapest.

No Man's Sky's base building is getting pretty serious. There's some shooting but most of it is shooting rocks.

 

[Hitobat]

I suggest maybe Valheim?

 

[DXCHASE]

Valheim is my suggestion too, def. building, not a shooter and is fantasy like witcher.

Valheim is my suggestion too

Sadly, doesn't work, we're dealing with a picky wife

What part of the Witcher does she like? If she just likes the fighting, she could give Valheim a try, which has great building, too. But there's basically no story, which is a big part of The Witcher series. Honestly, I can't think of a game that has both story and good building. Conan Exiles has both fantastic fighting and building, though.

Sorry, didnt see the reply saying she tried Valheim. Well then i dont know a game thats like witcher but is a house building game, unless you consider maybe Skyrim, or one of the many mods of skyrim where you do get to really build your house and you dont shoot guns. I know its an older but i cant think of one that fits those parameters lol

Banner saga is not a cartoon. It's pen and ink art styling, but it's not a cartoon in the least. It's also not the witcher+frost punk either. It is an epic quest story, dark, brooding and full of despair. The story is every bit as deep and dark and compelling as the witcher though. It's a story built along the side of Norse myths and an invading force, again very different but very good.

Some players here recommending Valheim which i am considering getting , its only 1 gb download is the rest in the cloud.

There are a few RPGs that give you some kind of keep as a home base you can upgrade, if that counts? Pillars of Eternity, for instance. Skyrim has house-building too.

My guess is szwenk isn't coming back to see our suggestions...

Thank you for all your answers. Wife decided to play Farming Simulator. She's driving a nice red tractor on a field and is having great fun with it

Whoa! I was wrong!

Man, if we knew her parameters were expanded to farming, we might have suggested that.
