My boyfriend and I have been playing the game for a little while together. I like dark fantasy stuff and my boyfriend is actually a history nerd who has a personal affinity for Viking culture in particular. He actually taught me how to build as close to a historically accurate Viking longhouse as you can create in this game, complete with a box chimney. My boyfriend does most of the base building and I do most of the resource collecting, though he joins me for particularly difficult areas (IE everything, until we've reached the level of tech development necessary to fight whatever boss is next, at which point I'm usually able to solo the current biome we're working on).

He's ridiculously good with a spear, and also uses a Battleax now that we've gotten to that point. I'm the one that likes to parry.
