I had never played a video game before starting to play Skyrim and I'm now completely addicted and belong to a gaming forum. My boyfriend is pretty into gaming and I too would complain about him playing so much. I decided to make a character just for fun but got bored when I died every five minutes because I didn't even know you could change the difficulty setting (SUPER NOOB). During Christmas break from college I was incredibly bored and decided to give it another shot. I turned the difficulty setting down and never looked back. As a non-gamer female skyrim convert I would say...
1) turn down the difficulty so it's not so frustrating when she starts out 2) Let her take her sweet ass time creating her character's race/features/ and name, chicks like that stuff 3) Explain to her that she can build and decorate her own house (assuming you have the Hearthfire DLC), chicks also like that 4) Don't mock her playing style or the fact that she will probably suck for a while and not play it exactly like you. 5) Stock your fridge with frozen pizza because she won't be making you ANYTHING once she realizes how amazing this damn game is.
BTW, I now have come back to real life and go to school, cook and all that boring crap. But for a while there, man did I eat a lot of pizza. Good luck!
