    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I think the endgame is balanced toward stacking self buffe for str builds. All the vids i see with it have a multi buff process before doing huge dmg.

    I wish i tried EMU Light - Enhanced Moveset Utility earlier. It's just a fancy ahk script. The only feature I'm using is dodge rolls without delay. I didn't look through the code but it seems faster than if i quickly tap the dodge key.

    Fix the camera already makes it worth playing offline with a mouse for camera control (with or without my goofy gamepad in my left hand), lol.

    Yeah I'm thinking about also adding no talismans, but I think that's too handicapping for me.

    All right boys, going to start a new character. Trying to come up with "rules" to follow. Figure I'll start with: No summons No content skipping to get powerful stuff No rune farming Melee build (more of a style choice than a rule but whatever) No talismans Also going to check out the mod...

    I think in the white dragon fight you're supposed to kill all the "dragons" around the white dragon without resting, which is non-trivial. Just sneaking up and hitting the white dragon in the ass is so intuitive I bet nearly everyone does it.

    no. They are viable but way more effort.

    Besides 3, that sounds like making it like every other open world high fantasy rpg.

    I want to play a build like this but with a mod that makes bloodhounds step cost stamina instead of fp.

    Re: mohg, i really enjoyed that fight. Last one i did before cheesing the game with moonveil and whorefrost.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    QE sounds cool until a quantum scientist breaks out enough crayons for people like me to understand it can't be used for FTL comms. I'm hoping we find a way around that or *something* to bust up this universe of ours into giving us quantum cheat codes.

    Vigor also isn't the only survivability attribute. If you've got 33 vigor at the expense of endurance (and armor) and are using Radagon's Soreseal, you might have less ability to take a huge hit than if you had better armor and used a talisman with specific defense against the hit. I've heard...

    Agreed. Same with summons. If anything ER should have a "hard mode" where mobs only respawn a few times (or drop diminishing levels of runes to keep the world from feeling empty) and don't let players use NPC / Ashes summons.

    That was my thought too, especially in Crumbling Farum Azula which clearly is the dragon's civilization and has all these long-dead dragonoid zombies.

    I don't know. There are a lot of visual queues I noticed (like the white flowers in the craters leading to Lyndel) that I didn't understand but kinda believe they tie into the lore in some meaningful way.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Easy to argue that it's a GOAT. Any arguments of how it doesn't have the modability of Skyrim or the diversity of MMOs are matched by how clean and pure of an experience the game offers. It's just a fantastic experience all the way through and isn't clouded by the typical bullshit we endure to...

    Fixed a bug that causes arcane to scale incorrectly for some weapons. Fixed a bug which causes some weapons to not use stat scaling. Fixed a bug which causes Fire’s Deadly Sin incantation to have different effect. Nice changes. I had already stopped relying on my mimic. I never even got Tiche...

    any of you guys playing with something like the Razer Wolverine? https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Wolverine-Ultimate-Multi-Function-Intrchangeable-Thumbsticker/dp/B074RNL1RX It's got six paddles/buttons in the back for your useless pinky/ring fingers. or...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    ER makes this really difficult because of how interconnected all the NPCs / quests / areas apparently are. It'd be one thing if you had an NPC asking you to do some unknowable bullshit that you forgot about and later on found his name in a list and circled back to pursue his quest, but making it...

    Imagine a world where you could dual wield moonveil and sword of night and flame and use both sets weapon arts.

    I've never heard of the black knife build. What offhand / talismans / incantations did you use with it? Did you try the hoarfrost build? It's pretty stupid.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    For me the most interesting thing about speedrun vids is the glitches instead of the usage of OP early builds like hoarfrost. It's just a fun meta competition to see who can break the game harder. The parts that actually play the game and involve skill are secondary to that. I just kind of wish...

    Playing these kinds of games at release is definitely a two-edged sword. I want to see all the content but don't want to read enough about the game (or it's not available when I play) to see all the content. I'll probably do a rule-driven playthrough after the first DLC comes out and get a nice...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    It's just exploring a facet of the game, not the pinnacle of the game. ER speedrun vids would be more entertaining if ER was organized such that more of the game was required to beat it. Ex: having to get all the great runes and climb all the towers or something.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    "Beat" the game last night! Level 157 or so, felt overleveled through much of the game, but I guess that level is about right? Still a couple areas to explore and probably a list of bosses to fight. Trying to decide what to respec to in order to fight them. I want something with a lot of...

    Impossible to say. They say that he created a standardish high-fantasy world that was like, Game of Thrones + gods/magic and then they "shattered" it with a cataclysmic event. You play in the 100+ish? year aftermath of that shattered world. But how much influence he had is totally unknowable to...
