Giving the player a plethora of options that fit naturally within the game world and lore that result in an organic, emergent change in difficulty is an inferior, outdated, and downright stupid approach compared to just adding a slider that reduces or increases enemy damage. Game design is my passion.

yeah but look out if you use the option that makes the game ez (such as using a shield) because we will chastise you

All games should have your ranking prominently displayed for all to see at all times. Not just poo poo like BRONZE 2 no I want the exact rank, none of this coddling nonsense.

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
lol, i refuse to play Elden Ring just to spite all of you, in much the same way i refuse to ever watch Rick and Morty.

You're not roleplaying what happened, you're roleplaying the person this happened to. It's a backstory. You're basically saying Nuh-Uh to "You met in a tavern".

im not saying i didn't want to play an amnesiac character, im saying i wanted to play a character pretending (mostly poorly no doubt) not to be amnesiac. much later pretending you weren't the whole time was a bit of that yeah

I got gamepass, went through and added a bunch of games to try to my list.

There's over 100 games. Jesus. I can guarantee most are a "play for a day then ignore" thing, which is honestly loving awesome.

Shields in souls games aren't quite cheating, but they are cowardly. Magic is also cowardly.

And this is why Elden Ring isn’t a Souls game. The counterattack system means blocking with a shield totally has a risk associated, the risk being that your counterattack will either miss entirely or not have any impact on the overhead swing that is about to turn you into paste.

There's 414 games on the PC gamepass, your standards are too low. Wait wait you play console games too? *shakes head* I'm so sorry.

Just started playing this the other day; blew off endurance so I started with 1 HP. On first move I proceeded to reach for a light switch, critically miss, then die of a heart attack. 10/10 game unironically

Unpopular opinion: I care more about Literally A Person's Morrowind experience than anything posted about Elden Ring.


Toptip: if you enchant or make a spell that's jump 100 for 5 secs, you can recreate the scrolls of Icarian Flight. But I recommend having slow fall or levitation handy for the landing

Custom Class, Imperial. All based around the personality and endurance stats with longsword as my main melee since there are so many good ones scattered about.

I've maxed both personality and endurance and am now working on speed, agility, and strength.

Quite fun.
