Bright Wizard for me. But the wife demands we play greenskins...

So I'm all stoked to play a Bright Wizard. A fireballing, insane madman with a mission. "Torch em all, and let the God's sort em out!" I can live with that motto.
But my wife demands we play as Greenskins.
Such a evil, to be married to one seduced by chaos. Her second choice is a maurader, again, the taint of corruption hangs over my future gaming.

This calls for divorce!
No room for compromise? Mt girlfriend and I play games together,have for last 6-7 years...we have yet to have any problems compromising on what to play. If she is expecting you to play Orcs,then you should be able to expect her to play Order with you from time to time.
"Play Chaos douchebag" nuff said! GL
One thing I'm curious about...do greenskins even have playable females in the game? Not seen any screen shots of them. Either Goblin or Orc.
I'm assuming its possible to play both order and chaos, so really, why don't you both agree to try both? who knows, one of you may swing to the other side.
Another course of action: sit down and discuss with her the benefits of playing order, that being good can be non-conformist and socially unacceptable as living in dirty huts in its own way.
worse comes to worse, you can just go your seperate ways in game and share a battlefield romance of slaughter eachothers allies and sometimes even eachother. But its all resolvable.
Sounds perfectly ideal to me! Tell her to go make a greenskin, and you make your bright wizard. Then go track her down, smack her greenskin around a little bit until she either submits and gets back in the kitchen, or is converted to your way of thinking.
from what i've seen, greenskins aren't designated a sex, but more or less co-exist in a giant sphere of masculinity. For the most part, destruction isn't all that feminine (except dark elves and 2 chaos classes) where as order gives the option on the majority of classes.
Although squig herders are adorable =3
hah yeah,I'm not big on goblin races...but I've always loved Squigs in Warhammer,so will likely try the class out. My girlfriend will 100% be playing a Dark Elf since she refuses to play anything ugly.
yeah mix it up and one of you can swing both ways.....
the wife is clearly the smarter one of the relationship, who wants to play order??? you already are a human in real life, be something else, even if its a mutated corrupt by chaos human. And Greenskins arnt exactly evil they just love/live to fight
BTW orcs in warhammer are born like a mushroom they just kinda bud off.
But he's not a human who runs around burning everything in sight with a crazy pyromaniac look on his face in real life. 'Sides, Order will be the underdogs and ORCS IS UGLY!

A human and an Elf get captured by Skaven. The rat-men are getting ready to shoot the first hostage with Dwarf-made guns when he yells, "Earthquake!" The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"
Order of the White Border.
I have convinced her to at least TRY Empire.
Actually since we have the CE I'm hoping as we "check it out" she'll see the light and find a class on Empire that is fun for her so I can blow &*&& up!

She's right. Admit it, bright wizards are .... human. Where's the fun in that? Just admit defeat and it will be much simpler.
If you're a half decent PvPer you will be able to use any class well anyway, and fighting alongside her (assuming you have 2 PC's rather than share 1) just means you can have real-time co-ordination in PvP. That means you should not be thinking "best solo PvP class", but "best combination PvP pair" which will be far more lethal.
Scrap all ideas, and be a dark Elv couple. That would be hawt.
Yeah, just think.... 2 witch elves... scantily clad... together...
No required quests! And if I decide I want to be an assassin-cartographer-dancer-pastry chef who lives only to stalk and kill interior decorators, then that's who I want to be, even if it takes me four years to max all the skills and everyone else thinks I'm freaking nuts. -Madimorga-
The only motivation for me to play as a Greenskin would be if I can get lauched from a catapult. Besides that, nah, I don't want to be a spore...thing. Just tell your wife they're really mushrooms and they're all male, or go for that Dark Elf idea.

Well the Sorcerer/Sorceress is the mirror of the Bright Wizard. Less fire, more darkness.
If it's any consolation for humor...
We have to computers, and she generally plays male characters and I generally play females. It's very amusing to ham it up in a pug group chat where no one knows what's what.
And yeah, she hates playing humans most fo the time, in any game.

haha that is good times. I also play a female character, (even though I'm male) and its astounding how many guys try to hit on me. You will no doubt have fun whichever race you guys choose!
My girlfriend is to vain. She cares about her looks in RL so when playing a game she has to be the most beautiful character.
Solution:
Both make toons in the open beta of the classes you want to be and duel it out. The loser of the duel joins the side the winner wants to play as when the game launches live.
Simple, no?
Perhaps your wife could try a Dwarf? They're tough little buggers as opposed tough big buggers that are Orcs.
DId your wife want to play a particular class? (Black Orc, Choppa?) I ask because each class is mirrored by the opposing side, though not necessarily by their opposing racial enemy.
For example, the Destruciton pet class in the game is the Squig Herder, while the Order pet class is the White Lion (although they're not exactly similar either, one is ranged one is melee)
As others have pointed out Sorceresses are the Destruction equivalent to Bright Wizards - use too much magic and you explode.
I'm 6'2", She's 5'1" and detests dorfs in anygame...
I read her your post and got to "Perhaps your wife could trya Dwarf?" Before she... reacted negatively.

Explain to her in minute detail how Greenskins eat, sleep, defecate and reproduce.
That oughta get 'em them off her mind.

At least your wife plays.
I can't get mine to even create a character to try out! Only games she plays are on my kids Wii. She said that maybe she would consider it after the kids move out. Well that will be about 18 years from now since the youngest is only 2 months old, hehe.
