With 2 kids and no baby sitters, my wife and i rarely get the opportunity to go out, so when Baldurs Gate 3 came out and we started playing it together we would refer to it as going on a Baldurs date.
This kinda thing is why I think BG3 is one of the best multiplayer games ever. People seem to forget that co-op is important, and I'm so happy that this game does it so well!
@@ZethisVAThat was different series from a different TH-camr about his gf\wife playing games as a noobie (I think that this channel was called Razbuten)
@@RatBoyDunce The fact the game accounts for those uses of those spells is crazy to me ngl. It means NPC reactions would need to take into account sight, sound and proximity rather than all acting off of one alert status. Most games don't put much though into NPC reactions like that, they all aggro as and when something triggers one NPC - like the infamous villager attacks and bounty for hitting a chicken in Skyrim.
So many games make silence some unexplained anti-magic field so it's a nice way to be reminded it actually just shuts you up so you can't say the spell incantations, simple as. Might not be a spell but "please help they're beating me up in here" sure requires mouth noises too.
A funny detail: If you create a web surface (if you're a spider or something) outside the grove during the first goblin fight, Zevlor literally jumps off the wall, uses the web to absorb the fall damage, and smites the crap out of your foes. And then Aradin berates him for being a coward, despite him putting Wyll's cutscene to shame.
Someone who takes that much effort to clear the goblin camp after so many game overs, fucky situations and glitches, frustrating mechanics and workarounds could not have possibly just put this game down after the tiefling celebration. I refuse to believe she put this game down forever! Awaiting the follow up: "My wife has been playing Baldur's Gate 3 for 1200 hours", thanks!
Bruh I'm such a freaking idiot. When you called her a noobus I heard Anubis and was like, "The Egyptian god of death? That's a cute pet name I guess " 🤣

That's an amazing character she created. Snow Black looks like constantly a bit confused, frustrated and out of place. I imagine not quite unlike how someone who hasn't played a lot of games feels when playing. XD
This is unironically a perfect game for a twisted version of Snow White. This is the only game I know of that has sooo much you can do with talk with animals.
I've seen another video in the same style where a non-gamer is introduced to BG3, and the gulf in their attempt and the Noobus' is massive. The other person barely even tried to meet the story where it was at and remained wholly uninterested the whole time, which led them to be bored and dip. It was nice to see someone let themself be invested and spend time just talking to people.

I don't know, I feel like Disco might be pretty extreme. That kind of front loads the slurs and the sexual assault option (that doesn't work, it still)
I’m so happy that she played this one for as long as she did. At ANY point after that first party wipe, she could have ended it, but she didn’t. I truly hope that there might be a couch co-op campaign on your channel soon.
What an absolute treat. I was worried because a lot of the combat and stats/character building is so crunchy, but I was happy to hear she had some DnD background so it wasn't quite as overwhelming. More than anything, though, I'm delighted to see her embrace thinking creatively and trying things out. Speak to Animals to ally yourself with the spiders and use an invisible mage hand to release the lever to unlock the gate? Amazing. Casting Silence to prevent Gut from calling for backup so you can beat her senseless? Grand. Turning into a cat and meowing to lure Minthara over a bridge, then cutting the bridge out from under her? Legitimately brilliant. I'm also so happy to hear her mentally work through her opinions of characters. Loved her distrust of Raphael. I'm an "examine goblin", so when I saw that Auntie Ethel's infocard listed her as a Fey, I was all kinds of wary around her. This is just such a fun and creative game and I'm beaming to see how much the Noobus embraced and enjoyed it. Great video, and good Lord I can only imagine how long it took to edit.

ya, the DnD background had to have helped, at least with understanding the spells cause that can be one of the hardest things to manage. I can do it with 1 character in DnD but with 4 even I forget stuff all the time and that's not counting all the camp character with buffs and stuff you can do with hirelings (tip, always make a halfling transmuter hireling at camp and let them make all your potions, you can pretty much get 2 potions every time, and also make a transmuter stone to give away.)

as someone who has played an honestly unhealthy amount of hours in BG3 (it shot to my most played game on steam with 1000+ hours since release, and ~200 in early access, more than the next 2 most played **COMBINED** {Skyrim and CSGO/CS2 if anyone cares}, oh my god I need to touch grass) it's always nice to see someone's first experience with it. also gale and shart are the best love interests, I'll die on this hill lmao
@@dominika3762 durge/astarion is a good pairing just because both of them had the same writer iirc but possible hot take? I'm not a huge fan of astarion, he's too whiny for me
She has the same attitude towards Astarion and Gale that I did my first run. I hated that smarmy little vampire ass and loved the dapper polite Gale. 40 hours later I totally flipped lol.
I only warmed up to Astarion about 150 hours in. 😂 I doubt I would have at all if I hadn't gotten Lae'zel perma-killed in Act 1 and replaced her with him in my party. It was the mere exposure effect.
Honestly would love to watch her play the rest of the game. The joy of discovery and finding clever ways to solve problems only to have it devolve into murdering everything is why this game is so great, and its nearly as great watching someone else do it the first time as it is to have done it myself.
"You don't have to kill everyone in the goblin camp." On my first playthrough, I failed a single check in dialogue and decided to lay siege to the camp. There was no strategy, just brute force, and it worked. I missed out on so much dialogue, but I had so much much fun going full murder-hobo on the bad guys. Plus, it all fit thematically because my character was a goodie two shoes barbarian, I wouldn't deceive those goblins, just smash their faces.
My girlfriend doesn't play any games, but we played Baldur's Gate 3 together in splitscreen. She's now completely in love with the game and we're in Act 3 of our 2nd playthrough. Funny enough, she played a Druid too.
Bro I can't even imagine how long it took you to make subtitles for most of the things you and your wife said for this hour and 40 minute video. Major respect. 👍
1:37:55 I mean Goblin Camp is like half of Act I, without counting and the Gith section but TRUE Omg It's so cool she stayed for so long. I also found it funny that she left Halsin behind. Having a bear is useful during slaughter. 😂
Well... even less than that. There's 3 whole maps of Act 1 (main, underdark, creche/mountain pass) and the goblin camp isn't even close to the whole of that 1st map. Act 1 took me a bit over 70hrs to finish and the goblins were maybe only 10-15 of those hours. No mention of Voss, the Hag, Z hideout, or Withers, much less all the secrets in the goblin village/camp. She still got pretty far though. I'd guess she played maybe 15-20 hours of content, with 3-5 more of reloads from failures. Pretty good for never having touched the game and how frustrating it is to learn it.
@@violetpatina708 Goblin camp took me a LOT of time. But I think I spent more time in The Grove because I was just learning how to steal everything lol. I was terrible at it at first, but now I'm in act 3 and stealing everything with just a fog spell!
I dont know if Astarians smooth talking skills is so great that it worked on the vast majority of players aswell becouse u can clearly se those red eyes and the fangs when he talk and still ppl failed to notice he was a vampire. Its almost like the game purposely zoom in on hes face when he talks to say look hes a vampire and still nobody noticed.
It's *really* weird to me that anyone misses it. The game is pretty much screaming it from the rooftops every moment he's on the screen. I don't think they could make it any more obvious without giving him a t-shirt that says "lol I'm secretly a vampire" across the chest.
This is in my rotation of "comfort videos," i.e. the videos that I rewatch regularly because they're: 1. Well-recorded, well-edited, well-presented, etc 2. Covering a topic I know well so I feel at home with the material, 3. Interesting/funny *and* unobtrusive, such that I can watch them on the main monitor, or have them in the headphones while I take out the trash. A+ work all around! Best to the both of you (and any editing/production folks/mods who help out!)
Man I hope she keeps playing! It’d be fun to see her do an entire playthrough- I’m several hundred hours into the game, and her commentary/reactions are hilarious! 😂
seen a couple of these gf/wife tries video games videos from other youtubers but haven't really been that interesting but this one had me hooked from the start your wife is hilarious and your genuine laughter just adds so much to the mood also the editing was on point you kept it very interesting from start to end
Absolutely loved this new Noobus Humanus episode. My heart skipped a beat when I heard the FF8 battle music. Loved the editing in general but the fight edits were absolutely outstanding, the comedic timing, the music... it's just perfect. Also congrats to you two for finally being husband and wife :) I wish you all the best for the future!
Good to see another Scottish couple playing xD I've been playing since EA release and I got my wife into it on full release and she loved it (she's in all 3 of my dnd campaigns so at least she had a grasp of the mechanics). We did a very similar thing where I quietly watched her play it and it was such an experience, she actually finished her first playthrough before I did xD
By far the Most Entertaining playthrough of Act 1 I've Ever Watched. I loved the editing and also the way her personality shown through her play style. Good fun.
There's a lot of tension between Shady and Bae'zel, reason being Shadowheart literally just lost her entire team to Gith. Gith are also assholes by nature. Their relationship dynamic makes the game even more exciting. Spoiler: One of my favourite parts of their friendship is when Shadowbae spares Nightsong and Lae'zel says something like, "you might be surprised to hear this, but my heart pains for Shadowheart". They're good friends in my playthroughs and I love both of these characters ion my squad.
I play this game with my son. We plan to do a playthrough where one of us is Tav, the other Durge, and recruit no companions except for two of Withers' puppets.
You can get the circlet off of Nettie's body. (The gnome that is knocked out in the nearby cave also has the same circlet. Save him from the goblins, loot his body before he awakes, and boom - you have the circlet. It helps you get to the grove from the back door in Nettie's back room.)
54:38 I'm glad your wife actually played the way she played, nothing makes me hate someone more than playing a game blind on their first playthrough and playing how you described it, and complaining that they don't get the story.
Your wife not realizing Astarion was a vampire makes my feel less bad about being so surprised when he tried to suck my blood. Because in hindsight I was like ohhhh this is obvious.
As someone who mostly played The Sims (not 4) until I randomly decided to get BG3 when it came out, I'm glad TH-cam recommended this video to me. Your wife is a delight! And Snow Black is a hero. I'd watch her continue the story, if she wanted to, but man, I always feel a little sad turning that wonderful magic-eating wizard down!
As someone who's got the game down to a science when it comes to picking options over roleplaying and things like that, this was fun to see. I remember talking to pretty much every person and animal I could find in those first few playthroughs. A fun watch, even at the length of en entire movie. Cheers to you both.
This has to be one of the most entertaining Baldur's Gate 3 videos I've ever watched! Absolutely fantastic montages! Felt like a feature film! I'd definitely watch another like this!
I've been really impressed by the montages in this one. The music and the talking is perfectly balanced, the joke an comments come it and exactly the right time to match the music. Just really well done. Good Job!
I usually dont go for watching people play games. Id rather play them myself. But last night had issues with my computer, so while I was uploading stuff on new computer I watched this, and found myself hooked to finishing the video. My internet went down so had to wait till this morning to finish it, but that was great.. Way to edit, and love her voice durring the video. Made it all perfect.. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
I never played a game that genuinely let me ROLE PLAY like BG3. I loved Skyrim when I was younger but never has an RPG encouraged my shenanigans like this one.
omggggg you have NO idea how excited I was to see this upload in my notifs! This was by far my favorite game of last year, and to see such a long video dedicated to it and featuring Mrs Noobus is a wonderful treat!
I love watching blind playthroighs of BG3 but it can be a little tedious too. Your wife's commentary and your editing are absolutely fantastic! Such a delight.
That was fantastic; shame there aren't seven more episodes of this. Particularly well done on the montages mate, and your wife is a lovely character in her own right.
Baldur's Gate 3 is truly amazing on the many ways it lets you roleplay your way through it. For example, my first playthrough I decided I wanted to be an half-orc barbarian. Therefore, I was the hammer and all the world was composed of nails. Seeing this, and how far she got with so little combat is such an antithesis of my first experience with this game... 😂
Great job findin' a happy middleground with the combat montages. Mrs. Zanders' one liners are top-notch & the bits of action are pretty good considering the genre's lack of theatrics and whatnot.
This is a very interesting video to come back to after watching Razbuten's recent upload! They provide really nice contrast as the two ladies had very different experience and impressions of the game. Love this video, will definitely see if your wife has tried any of the other games I know/like)
I love how creative many of her solutions were. I'm always somewhat willing to jump into combat, even with high charisma characters, so I didn't know about many of the options she found.
ive been looking forward to this one for a while now, and it didnt disappoint. Im glad she really got into it and was enjoying the roleplay aspect that makes this game stand head and shoulders above many in its genre. this is one of those games where i know she was having fun while playing, and you were having fun watching her play it. The beauty of this game is you could rerecord this on any given day and get a completly different path and outcome. i also have to say i loved the music choices throughout the video. As a lover of JRPG's hearing many a familiar battle themes or background songs play really made me happy. as well as the non Video Game OST choices throughout that really added to the fast forwarded combat sections. if there is ever a day where you and the noobus revist past played games, i believe this would be at the top of my request list, right above hades. i also hope this game breaks the streak of her not playing in her down time as i know personally its a game i love playing with my partner. excellent work as always Mr. and Mrs. Zander. Cant wait for the next one. #LongLiveSnowBlack

as someone who has played an honestly unhealthy amount of hours in BG3 (it shot to my most played game on steam with 1000+ hours since release, and ~200 in early access, more than the next 2 most played **COMBINED** {Skyrim and CSGO/CS2 if anyone cares}, oh my god I need to touch grass) it's always nice to see someone's first experience with it.
also gale and shart are the best love interests, I'll die on this hill lmao
yes! Gale is the best
I love Gale but Lae'zel is eternally my character, I love that frog so much.
Nah, Astarion for Durge is the best.
@@dominika3762 durge/astarion is a good pairing just because both of them had the same writer iirc but possible hot take? I'm not a huge fan of astarion, he's too whiny for me
@@ZoeBateman fair enough, I love myself a tragic haunted character with good sassy lines
She has the same attitude towards Astarion and Gale that I did my first run. I hated that smarmy little vampire ass and loved the dapper polite Gale. 40 hours later I totally flipped lol.
I only warmed up to Astarion about 150 hours in. 😂 I doubt I would have at all if I hadn't gotten Lae'zel perma-killed in Act 1 and replaced her with him in my party. It was the mere exposure effect.
They both grow on you, like carbuncles :D.
Honestly would love to watch her play the rest of the game. The joy of discovery and finding clever ways to solve problems only to have it devolve into murdering everything is why this game is so great, and its nearly as great watching someone else do it the first time as it is to have done it myself.
I love how inventive the Noobus was in this game. Playing BG3 like it's D&D 2nd edition: Fighting bad, clever thinking good!
"You don't have to kill everyone in the goblin camp."
On my first playthrough, I failed a single check in dialogue and decided to lay siege to the camp. There was no strategy, just brute force, and it worked. I missed out on so much dialogue, but I had so much much fun going full murder-hobo on the bad guys. Plus, it all fit thematically because my character was a goodie two shoes barbarian, I wouldn't deceive those goblins, just smash their faces.
My girlfriend doesn't play any games, but we played Baldur's Gate 3 together in splitscreen. She's now completely in love with the game and we're in Act 3 of our 2nd playthrough. Funny enough, she played a Druid too.
Good games connect 😊
Have fun together 🥰
Druid is honestly such a GREAT class, man. Might be my favorite along with ranger.
24:45 Her maniacal laugh as the goblin is screaming from being burned alive was slightly concerning.
Congrats on your marriage 😅😂
Bro I can't even imagine how long it took you to make subtitles for most of the things you and your wife said for this hour and 40 minute video. Major respect. 👍
1:37:55 I mean Goblin Camp is like half of Act I, without counting and the Gith section but TRUE Omg It's so cool she stayed for so long.
I also found it funny that she left Halsin behind. Having a bear is useful during slaughter. 😂
How is the goblin camp half of act 1 when the underdark exists? The town, swamp, and road all have quite a bit to them too.
Well... even less than that. There's 3 whole maps of Act 1 (main, underdark, creche/mountain pass) and the goblin camp isn't even close to the whole of that 1st map. Act 1 took me a bit over 70hrs to finish and the goblins were maybe only 10-15 of those hours. No mention of Voss, the Hag, Z hideout, or Withers, much less all the secrets in the goblin village/camp. She still got pretty far though. I'd guess she played maybe 15-20 hours of content, with 3-5 more of reloads from failures. Pretty good for never having touched the game and how frustrating it is to learn it.
@@violetpatina708 Goblin camp took me a LOT of time. But I think I spent more time in The Grove because I was just learning how to steal everything lol. I was terrible at it at first, but now I'm in act 3 and stealing everything with just a fog spell!
I dont know if Astarians smooth talking skills is so great that it worked on the vast majority of players aswell becouse u can clearly se those red eyes and the fangs when he talk and still ppl failed to notice he was a vampire. Its almost like the game purposely zoom in on hes face when he talks to say look hes a vampire and still nobody noticed.
It's *really* weird to me that anyone misses it. The game is pretty much screaming it from the rooftops every moment he's on the screen. I don't think they could make it any more obvious without giving him a t-shirt that says "lol I'm secretly a vampire" across the chest.
This is in my rotation of "comfort videos," i.e. the videos that I rewatch regularly because they're:
1. Well-recorded, well-edited, well-presented, etc
2. Covering a topic I know well so I feel at home with the material,
3. Interesting/funny *and* unobtrusive, such that I can watch them on the main monitor, or have them in the headphones while I take out the trash.
A+ work all around! Best to the both of you (and any editing/production folks/mods who help out!)
That musical edit on the nautiloid was so clean
"who's your favorite"
"karlach"
"you've only just met her!"
"yes"
sooo real
Man I hope she keeps playing! It’d be fun to see her do an entire playthrough- I’m several hundred hours into the game, and her commentary/reactions are hilarious! 😂
49:38 The first impression descriptions are so funny. And having to psych yourself up to talk to Bae'zel is a real struggle. 🤣🤣
This might be the best editing you've ever done. Love this.
seen a couple of these gf/wife tries video games videos from other youtubers but haven't really been that interesting but this one had me hooked from the start your wife is hilarious and your genuine laughter just adds so much to the mood also the editing was on point you kept it very interesting from start to end
Absolutely loved this new Noobus Humanus episode. My heart skipped a beat when I heard the FF8 battle music. Loved the editing in general but the fight edits were absolutely outstanding, the comedic timing, the music... it's just perfect. Also congrats to you two for finally being husband and wife :) I wish you all the best for the future!
Good to see another Scottish couple playing xD I've been playing since EA release and I got my wife into it on full release and she loved it (she's in all 3 of my dnd campaigns so at least she had a grasp of the mechanics). We did a very similar thing where I quietly watched her play it and it was such an experience, she actually finished her first playthrough before I did xD
By far the Most Entertaining playthrough of Act 1 I've Ever Watched. I loved the editing and also the way her personality shown through her play style. Good fun.
There's a lot of tension between Shady and Bae'zel, reason being Shadowheart literally just lost her entire team to Gith. Gith are also assholes by nature. Their relationship dynamic makes the game even more exciting.
Spoiler:
One of my favourite parts of their friendship is when Shadowbae spares Nightsong and Lae'zel says something like, "you might be surprised to hear this, but my heart pains for Shadowheart". They're good friends in my playthroughs and I love both of these characters ion my squad.
Another episode featuring the rare Noobus Humanus! Missed you guys
I play this game with my son. We plan to do a playthrough where one of us is Tav, the other Durge, and recruit no companions except for two of Withers' puppets.
"Karlach's probably my top just now"
"You just met Karlach"
Exactly! Lmfao
Karlach is everyone's top within 2 minutes of meeting her.
You can get the circlet off of Nettie's body. (The gnome that is knocked out in the nearby cave also has the same circlet. Save him from the goblins, loot his body before he awakes, and boom - you have the circlet. It helps you get to the grove from the back door in Nettie's back room.)
Only an hour in your first char creation session? Impressive.
Wow, this was really well made. The music and montages were *chef's kiss*
This brought me absolute joy today. Hearing you and your wife enjoy this game warmed my heart. So glad you could enjoy this game together.
54:38 I'm glad your wife actually played the way she played, nothing makes me hate someone more than playing a game blind on their first playthrough and playing how you described it, and complaining that they don't get the story.
Your wife not realizing Astarion was a vampire makes my feel less bad about being so surprised when he tried to suck my blood. Because in hindsight I was like ohhhh this is obvious.
Me and my wife were so HYPED for this episode! It's great to see the Noobus enjoy this one
People get so weird when i wear a suit of armor at work. I mean i still wear the orange Home Depot apron with it!
its funny that she also pronounces wyll as 'while' it just feels better somehow
This editting is S-tier. Subscribed
Monty the editing over the fight scenes is excellent here
Ok but the music choices in this video just made this video even better! I especially loved “everybody wants to be a cat” 😂
As someone who mostly played The Sims (not 4) until I randomly decided to get BG3 when it came out, I'm glad TH-cam recommended this video to me. Your wife is a delight! And Snow Black is a hero. I'd watch her continue the story, if she wanted to, but man, I always feel a little sad turning that wonderful magic-eating wizard down!
This was great! Your wife is absolutely delightful, and is the perfect driver for Snow Black lol.
Okay your wife is super adorable, glad you made her play this game! This is hopefully a trend on this channel!
As someone who's got the game down to a science when it comes to picking options over roleplaying and things like that, this was fun to see. I remember talking to pretty much every person and animal I could find in those first few playthroughs. A fun watch, even at the length of en entire movie. Cheers to you both.
This has to be one of the most entertaining Baldur's Gate 3 videos I've ever watched! Absolutely fantastic montages! Felt like a feature film! I'd definitely watch another like this!
I’d watch a whole series of this to the end of the game, you noobus is so funny I love her
I've been really impressed by the montages in this one. The music and the talking is perfectly balanced, the joke an comments come it and exactly the right time to match the music. Just really well done. Good Job!
What an utterly charming video. Very much enjoyed watching the wife learn the game and how they interacted was adorable.
now I just want more BG3 with Noobus
I usually dont go for watching people play games. Id rather play them myself. But last night had issues with my computer, so while I was uploading stuff on new computer I watched this, and found myself hooked to finishing the video. My internet went down so had to wait till this morning to finish it, but that was great.. Way to edit, and love her voice durring the video. Made it all perfect.. Thank you for a wonderful evening.
Being able to kill the harpies first try @lvl like 3 is crazy..
Then like 5 hours later not being able to kill Prietest gut first round is insane 😂
I never played a game that genuinely let me ROLE PLAY like BG3. I loved Skyrim when I was younger but never has an RPG encouraged my shenanigans like this one.
omggggg you have NO idea how excited I was to see this upload in my notifs! This was by far my favorite game of last year, and to see such a long video dedicated to it and featuring Mrs Noobus is a wonderful treat!
the thinking process to name the character made me laugh more than a should. congrats. 😅
Ohh... I loved your wife's description of all characters she's met at around 1:07:00 mark. Bang on. 😆
That was BRILLIANT! I laughed SO many times. Your wife is an absolute riot and your editing is hilariously perfect. Great work!
I love watching blind playthroighs of BG3 but it can be a little tedious too. Your wife's commentary and your editing are absolutely fantastic! Such a delight.
That was fantastic; shame there aren't seven more episodes of this. Particularly well done on the montages mate, and your wife is a lovely character in her own right.
I adore Baldurs Gate 3, I’m so pleased the Noobus had a great time with it. Thanks for doing such a long video!
Baldur's Gate 3 is truly amazing on the many ways it lets you roleplay your way through it.
For example, my first playthrough I decided I wanted to be an half-orc barbarian. Therefore, I was the hammer and all the world was composed of nails.
Seeing this, and how far she got with so little combat is such an antithesis of my first experience with this game... 😂
Great job findin' a happy middleground with the combat montages. Mrs. Zanders' one liners are top-notch & the bits of action are pretty good considering the genre's lack of theatrics and whatnot.
57:00 watching this after killing scratch in my durge playthrough is making me regret it even more 😭
This was brilliant. Love the editing and the music. If you can convince her to do a part 2, I feel she really enjoy it even more.
1:06:24
“His whole world’s crashing down!”
As wonderful a description of the moment as the following summary of our party.
oh my god, i loved her description of the entire party. so accurate 🤣
A perfectly appropriate reaction to Scratch, thank you 😂
This is a very interesting video to come back to after watching Razbuten's recent upload!
They provide really nice contrast as the two ladies had very different experience and impressions of the game.
Love this video, will definitely see if your wife has tried any of the other games I know/like)
I love how creative many of her solutions were. I'm always somewhat willing to jump into combat, even with high charisma characters, so I didn't know about many of the options she found.
The Final Fantasy 7 battle theme is a great choice. Pure gold. 😎
ive been looking forward to this one for a while now, and it didnt disappoint. Im glad she really got into it and was enjoying the roleplay aspect that makes this game stand head and shoulders above many in its genre. this is one of those games where i know she was having fun while playing, and you were having fun watching her play it. The beauty of this game is you could rerecord this on any given day and get a completly different path and outcome. i also have to say i loved the music choices throughout the video. As a lover of JRPG's hearing many a familiar battle themes or background songs play really made me happy. as well as the non Video Game OST choices throughout that really added to the fast forwarded combat sections. if there is ever a day where you and the noobus revist past played games, i believe this would be at the top of my request list, right above hades. i also hope this game breaks the streak of her not playing in her down time as i know personally its a game i love playing with my partner. excellent work as always Mr. and Mrs. Zander. Cant wait for the next one. #LongLiveSnowBlack
