How Can I Make This Game Easier for My Fiance?
My fiance is trying to play this game. She is on Story mode and I have even installed a mod to make dodging and parrying even easier. Yet, she is getting utterly f-ing destroyed.

What the hell can I do to make this easier for her?

Give her a controller that's actually disabled and play the game with yours while she's not looking

She's not stupid. I just don't know how to make it easier for her non-existent reaction time.

The game can be got through by not dodging even once on Story Mode. Someone has already done it and wrote an article for it. She needs more grinding. Also, if she's bad at dodging, get Monoco ASAP and have him give shields.

First off, ew, anything associated with Asmongold is gross.

It's ironic you posted WoW though, because WoW is the simplest game out there that requires almost nothing to play. It's a pachinko machine, you just spam the buttons to win. She gets AOTC and 2k+ io every season.

I didn't run into this problem. Of course, I could parry most things, I played on normal. Where's a good spot to grind exp in this game?

Play more? The game is heavily focused on memory, you don't need insane reaction time, just repetition.

May I ask how far into the game she is? My niece is playing story and I'm curious when things will start being a threat.

She just got to the gestral village. She barely beat the gestral mech boss.
A lot of it is her shouting "WTF I DODGED IT?!?!" but when I'm watching her (for example the gestral mech cannons) she is dodging when the cannons light up instead of dodging briefly after the cannons fire.

Personally, I noticed a fairly decent increase in difficulty when I reached Old Lumiere. That's when I started encountering enemies where I had to kind of focus up a bit.

There is a mod that extends the reaction time to literally 10 times the normal one.
Thats like 3 seconds to react on storymode difficulty.

I installed a double xp mod so I could play on Story mode. (Old lady here.) The dodge/parry mod just made it more difficult. The only problem was that I was so overleveled that I did some stuff that was supposed to be done after the ending. But at least she'll see the story this way.

I installed that one for her initially, but what ended up happening is that mod made the dodge/parry so broken that she was still in the animations for parrying and dodging during her turn and she'd have to wait. It literally broke the game. She has the basic easier one right now, which is like a 3% increase I believe.

Did you consider just playing the game together? Thats what a friend of mine did with his girlfriend who has no experience with video games at all but loved the story and wanted to play herself.
Basically she did all the running around, exploring, talking with characters and such, and every time a fight came she handed him the controller and he took over to fight it, then she continued.
She can still help with strategies and selecting attacks and so on, you just mainly do the parry/dodge stuff.
Was working rather well and they had fun that way.

I think the best Act 1 grinding spot is Hidden Gestral Arena.

Also, it sounds like she's not reading the cues right/being faked out. Tell her that enemies will do that in this game, and you have to react when you know for sure they're attacking. But also, dying is really normal in the game, so it's not really a big deal to have to try again here and there. There should ideally be an instant retry option, but it's almost not even needed, because it auto saves often.

She doesn't like her "hand held". She's insistent on being independent about it and absolutely hates being coached on things, even when she asks for help.
Playing together would just cause arguing lol. We've been together for 13 years and we try not to play things together. Either I'm going too fast and kind of "corpse dragging" her through stuff or I'm going too slow and she can tell I'm doing it to appease her and she gets upset that I'm babying her. I know that probably doesn't make sense, but... its the life I live lol.
