Ranni's whole thing is isolating the world and having less contact with Great Ones Outer Gods, so I don't think that holds up

It makes a vague sort of sense if you incorrectly treat the Outer Gods as a stand-in for immigrants or something. However they are actually horrible consuming amoral monsters, i.e. the English,

I love how Ranni,. Radahn, and Rykart all want fundamentally different things and go about it in different ways but their quest lines feed into one another and they all still love each other despite being insane mutants or ghost dolls. Elden Ring has, HANDS DOWN, the best supporting cast of any from game

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

If they ever do a DLC I definitely want to see the pre-amble to this story where the big messed up god family cooperates against the giants/turns against each other. Although I have no idea who the playable character would be in that

Godwyn the Golden seems like a good candidate since he doesn't appear in Elden Ring. If they're fighting boss-level enemies, makes sense to be a boss-level protagonist.

I beat the godskin duo last night. That was a fun surprise when I took them both out and there was still half a lifebar left.

I don't think I'm going to finish the game by Sunday which is the date I set for myself when I started playing back in February even though I know I'm close. Having only around an hour a night made this slow going.

He can be found in deeproot depths, his hosed up remains has been morphed into some sort of horrific aquatic monstrosity.

Godwyn would be a great NPC to run into in a DLC, his depictions in the base game paint him as a noble, charismatic hero who really represented the best of the Golden Order so getting to meet and hang out with him knowing he's going to get ganked and his corpse turned into hideous monster would be a great bit of pathos

While I don't disagree, they're clearly saving that for Sekiro II: Tale of Tomoe, which I know in my heart is in the works.

The human animal is a beautiful and terrible creature, capable of limitless compassion and unfathomable cruelty.
I made it to Malakeith and knew it was a boss room but I was still momentarily excited to see Gurranq, like "hey, it's that guy! I know that guy! ...oh no"

She is Malenia, blade of Miquella, and she knows that it's only really defeat if you give up and die, so she has only ever known sparkling loss.

Maliketh is Marika's beast shadow or whatever the game calls them. Radagon is Marika and Gurranq is Maliketh. You kill Maliketh and he is no longer around, yet Gurranq still is. You kill Radagon yet crumbly Marika is still there after the fight.

Maliketh is loyal only to Marika whereas Gurranq is a clergyman at least tangentially related to the Golden Order. Marika is loyal seemingly only to herself whereas Radagon is Radagon of the Golden Order.

So what I'm saying is this can't be intentional or anything also themes are for eighth grade book reports.

You guys should try swapping the binds for L1 and Circle/B. It's so nice being able to control the camera while sprinting without having to resort to a claw grip, once you get past the muscle memory.

I did it when I played Sekiro, never looked back.

It's only defeat if it comes from the Caelid region of the lands between, otherwise it's just a sparkling rout.
