I admire and appreciate this game but after defeating Godrick I'm suffering pretty heavily from not so much option paralysis as option irrelevance - I don't find Caelia a fun or interesting environment to traverse (big dogs, big birds, and faded erdleafs as far as the eye can see), I've outleveled the weeping peninsula, beat the Academy, the area north of that seems sparse, and I've farmed enough of the Bloodborne gnomes out in the fields outside the Beast Temple that I've hit progression doldrums. Most of what I can immediately tackle is, naturally, poison swamps and / or areas where the mobs are quick AND hard-hitting. Honestly I've felt for a long time that, contra industry and consumer consensus, linearity is underrated in game design. What I miss most about the other Souls games (even Sekiro, which I sucked at) is that sort of considered pacing and steady revelation that developer control of the player experience provided. Bloodborne especially is such a joy, the unity of aesthetics and the pacing of how the game progresses, the night growing longer and things getting more hosed up and ominous. You don't get that with Elden Ring, you instead get the blooming of more stuff to explore. There was also a sense of mystery that, imo, Elden Ring lacks, if only because of that relinquishing of highly curated pacing. It's not that the overworld is poorly made, it's that it isn't the kind of game I go to FromSoft for. I even find myself wondering if a more orthodox, gamey "open world" design would have helped with that listlessness of pacing, but I more than likely would have loving hated it. What's there fits with the FromSoft's player-trusting, experiential philosophy, but I get more and more desperate as I play to find the lil dungeons and catacombs, for no other reason than it reminds me of classic FromSoft design.

A gentle reminder to folks in this thread new to FromSoft games, when us veterans post "gently caress this" or "X is total cheap bullshit", that's when we're having the most fun.

Level design is always an underrated aspect of PvP and even with fog gating, the open design of the game just feels odd

Finally clicked with my arcane-incant build, thanks to whoever pointed out scaling goes nuts after 26, I was idling at 25 while pumping vigor. These days I mainly use the dragon breath for the rare PVP / hairy NPC fight and otherwise stick with bolt throwing and the arcane S-scaling frogman polearm I had to grind out with white claws in the boring old Academy town ruins (also a buffed up halberd crucible knight summons for the multi-boss stuff). I’m curious if a straight faith build compares w/r/t lightning and fire casters. A- / S- scaling with the dragon brand just seems like a no-brainer. Plus you get more loot with your discovery going to the moon. I only pumped faith enough to cast black flame. After so many hours the +3/+4 smithing stone bell, just hanging out near the entrance of its mine felt like a little gift from the devs to me. I’m betting there’s some variety of whetstone that grants arcane damage scaling (as opposed to reducing damage and adding elemental buildup scaling, I mean) that will make a less goofy weapon more viable with the build. But until then, I’m just out here farming the blood gnomes with my thin little silver pitchfork and watching the arcane numbers go up and up and up…

Gologle posted:Snake Maze, on a basic level, is correct in his view that these games require a lot of inferring and interpretation to see what the story is, and that someone's interpretation may differ from that of another's. However...that has been the case in every Souls game since Demon Souls. If anything, I think Elden Ring's story is the most clear cut of all the Souls games. But if this level of what is, admittedly, theorycrafting about the plot of the game isn't your cup of tea, then I get that, but that's just how From Soft does things. The secret is that all readings of a text, even those of the author, have a heart of conjecture

Survival mode is fine for sandbox games — rarely fun, but fine. Elden Ring is not a sandbox. It doesn’t even have the basic procedural / emergent elements of like, MGS5. Even the things out in the world that seem as though they might gesture toward emergent AI - the battlefields where Limgrave soldiers fight demihumans, where Redmane soldiers fight Caelid monsters, The never ending ghost brawl in the Radagan catacombs - they’re all hand-placed and calibrated, same as all Soulsborne content short of the more mutant strains of Chalice dungeon. Survival mode would add… more foraging and resource collection. And the first thing any lazy rear end “survival” mod does is jack up resource costs for everything, further restricts the capacity to gather resources, or both. The only thing that darker nights would do is disallow me to avoid giant bat fights, and thus force me to only play during the in-game day.
