    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I'm surprised / disappointed he doesn't take advantage of bloodhound's step more. I remember feeling like it wasn't *quite* enough distance covered to really make a build around. I might try something like this on a future playthrough, I felt like bleed wasn't as powerful in late game PVE as it...

    I eschewed using them because I died so much, but once I got up to 25 before I'm like, "You know, these aren't helping right now.". Now I use them almost all the time until I die to a boss or difficult dungeon area. They feel like something that makes playthroughs a ton easier because we won't...

    I didn't do a jumping puzzle there, but I feel like I saw one when I was adventuring. By the time I finished the area I was too exhausted of that shithole to go find the jumping puzzle agian.

    Hard to get rid of Soreseal. You give so much even at level 150+ and there isn't a ton of competition in the fourth slot for most builds.

    anyone using bloodhounds step? I'm already getting tired of moonveil katan's excellent medium range option that trivializes everything and am contemplating a bloodhound step + colossal weapon build.

    I haven't heard of any other than using player "trading" to get two of one item you couldn't get without NG+. Like 2x https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Reduvia for a bleed build.

    I cycled the mohgwyn clay frog guys a few times. It was kind of a nice opportunity to quantify the difference between a few different things like my damage with different talisman loadouts for the same attacks, how many hits to proc bleed etc. ER kinda needs target dummy in the Roundtable to...

    I'd prefer they didn't do this, but it would be interesting if they added no-farm code like DS2 had. From my perspective if someone wants easy mode and so they farm some frogs and birds for a weekend then steamroll Margit at lvl 100, who cares. They know what they did. I mean I know when I...

    If they play a caster and go in blind it's hard mode. If they watch some OP start vids, run around the map collecting armor, spells, free runes, golden seeds and golden tears it's easy mode, arguably easier than if they made the same effort with melee.

    These things and chariots shouldn't exist in the game. I want to get this weapon just to chainsaw them.

    I think people who use a gamepad for camera control just don't bother looking around. The game will decide what they should see and they must accept their fate.

    she talks mad shit about how much of a bitch you'd have to be to sneak through the "easy" way. I didn't pack a lunch to slaughter all those harpies and a magma wyrm for the "easy" way and ended the journey starving. Meanwhile literally every speedrunner will be blitzing through the two forts to...

    I was kind of planning on restarting for future playthroughs but if the game gets progressively harder maybe I'll stick with NG++

    ER's messages are super useful. There are very few surprise attacks that aren't prefaced with a warning. The hidden puzzles you have to solve are always caked with messages. It makes the game easier in a way, but it's so fresh I don't mind.

    I use https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Wired-Controller-Windows-Console/dp/B004QRKWLA for my controller. Not sur eif something like https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Enhanced-Wired-Controller-Xbox-x/dp/B08F44DPJW is better or whatever now. I don't recommend playing Elden Ring with mouse/keyboard.

    fuck, yeah I'm really missing daily quests that enrich player experience by rewarding them for approaching consistent challenges. I hate that when I down a boss I can't repeat the encounter every day and get rewarded.

    Things I miss in ER that are in other games: * Inventory weight limits, so players can feel rewarded for increasing it and not having to shuffle their inventory * Durability on weapons, so players can diversify their weapon set to avoid breaking weapons in a boss fight * Unskippable dialog on...

    The horse will make speedruns a lot more enjoyable. ER may be the greatest game to speedrun ever made. Or maybe not because there will be 80% horse riding :|

    I think people who don't enjoy the Oblivion gates are also more likely to dislike Oblivion. For me, they were the highlight of the game because it turned the game from an quest / exploration game into an ARPG while you were in the gates, especially with all the gameplay/difficulty mods I stacked...
