Mentat Radnor posted:Or consider doing the exact opposite: (spoilering for all the recent first time players in the thread) kinda wish there was actual dialogue for doing that, like it’s cool that they allow you to fix one of the biggest fuckups a main character in a from game has ever done, if not THE biggest, but Melina not having a scene of her going “well, guess you actually fixed your mistake and stopped me from having to immolate myself” kinda feels like one of the bigger missed opportunities in a game.

I think Melina wanted to kill herself though, it's what she'd been preparing her entire life for even if you do the unalloyed needle trick you've robbed her of her life's purpose

I think Elden Ring would be lessened as a narrative if there was actually an 'everything is fixed now' narrative. When I first joined this thread people were discussing whether the golden order / restoring the ring ending was the 'good' ending because the undead are still trapped, and I think there's strong arguments to be made that every ending has something wrong with it. Especially poo man ending.

I've heard arguments that the poo man ending isn't as bad as it seems (possibly smells).

I don't think anything good is going to come from the delusional serial killer doing sexual abuse to everyone or that deliberately creating a hell on earth is a desirable outcome, personally

Endings ranked from most to least philosophically moral: - fia (the undead deserve a chance) - dung eater (gently caress the system) -frenzied flame (gently caress the system but you make Melina mad) -goldmask (the search for perfect order is fundamentally meaningless at its core) - ranni (parasitizing other worlds like an outer god, explicitly anti humanist) I can't remember which ones I forgot

Dung Eater ending is only good if you give him a pass for how he got there with "ehh, ends justifies the means" for being such a horrible, blasphemous person he becomes the avatar of the toxic invader, then give a pass on how bad life is as an omen. Ok, omens are oppressed by the system. When everybody 100% across the board is an omen is that society able to progress? If nothing else Morgott is pretty noble but even his lifesblood physically and magically curses the area around him as you fight. If it's "humanity but with horns and they can shoot spooky skulls" it might be about on par with Fia's ending since "actually Dung Eater wants true equality" is a cool approach. He's making the mother of all omelettes, Tarnished, can't cry about every killed seafood vendor. If omens are painfully cursed and malicious about it you've got a hellworld brewing.

The Dung Eater doesn't understand what Omens are at all though, like Morgott and Mohg are both Omens and they both return to the Erdtree upon death. Dung Eater is literally just a cosplayer cursing people's souls because he's a maladjusted freak

Omens just see to be normal people who have an abundance of life in them that manifests as the extra growths, as that leaves his body he reverts to being a regular guy, there's doesn't seem to be anything fundamentally different about them at all

Is it possible to fight the Crucible + Misbegotten at Redmane after you defeat Radahn? I've gone back and there's soldiers around but I can't figure out how to trigger it.

If you can enter the courtyard, go past it, and talk to Jerren; he's sitting in the chair in front of the chapel.

He sits in the chapel you go through to get to the Radahn fight after you've beaten Radahn. Edit: He also goes after Sellen if you move her questline along. gurragadon fucked around with this message at 18:19 on Apr 5, 2024 |

Makes me wonder, the people itt that dismiss Dung Eater (or the Frenzied Flame for that matter, or...Ranni, apparently?) outright vs. the people that take Goldmask at absolute face value.

There's a couple different buff categories, a thing that was implemented in Dark Souls 2 when buff stacking in the PVP arena pre-match cells got severely out of hand. Only one buff in each category can be active, trying to use a different one will overwrite. The three main ones are: - Weapon buffs. If it makes your weapon glow, it's probably one of these. - "Aura" buffs. Golden Vow and its variants, most of which are general "do a lot of things better in small ways." - "Body" buffs, everything else. There's some exceptions here and there, but that's enough to get the overall gist.

Physick buffs aren't in those categories, ditto for jellyfish shield and talisman buffs, so they stack.

I'm not sure giving everyone the Omen curse is really as bad as all that (especially since, as someone pointed out above, Morgott and Mohg have Remembrances and therefore seemingly make it back into the cycle of reincarnation, when theoretically the awful thing about Omens is that they're cut off from it), but the mere fact that it's the Dung Eater advocating for it is a good reason to interpret it in the worst possible light. Goldmask is the opposite; the idea of "oh yeah we can fix this tottering system of oppression, we just have to completely remove the human element and have it run itself" sounds like a horror movie premise on its face (shades of Cube 1997, in particular), but the fact that he's just some humble, weirdo mystic who refuses to leap to conclusions until he has the actual truth about Radagon and Marika is the best argument for at least giving his horrific idea some charitable consideration.
