don't those mostly drop tears for your Wondrous Physik?

As someone who drives between Wisconsin and Detroit with regularity this cracks me up. That whole stretch between Michigan's border and north of Chicago is a trip through blight town.

Figured I'd post a vid of the last boss I killed with my bloody dragonborn build before I switched to int/dex. Spoiler: Mohg fight Nothing special and my performance was trash, but still got the W. I don't really like the build because anytime I'm casting it feels like cheese, with or without...

On the topic of world building, one cool thing I saw was in #community-building

Only half kidding. I could probably play ER with like, 4 buttons if I stuck to my incantation build. I just need one button to summon my mimic, another to cast my dragon incantations and another two for sprint + run forward. Playstyles that make use of bloodhound's Step make having tight camera...

It's fine, but I recommend gamepad. The value of having fine-tuned directional control is too high. I personally play with a gamepad in my left hand and right in my right hand.

Problem with crafting is I need consumables most when I am most likely to die and lose the buffs. If they were more valauble I'd sell them, but right now I just ignore them. I'm sure that hurts me in some way but the opportunity cost of using them is too high unless I hear of a huge benefit.

No. This was not obvious until I took a leap of faith but nothing is lost and there is no cost to recover the original ashes of war. https://attackofthefanboy.com/guides/elden-ring-how-to-remove-ashes-of-war-from-a-weapon/

My favorite is the super creepy palm readers who tell you where to go next. When people talk about how a game would be better without map objectives leading you around I think it's important to consider how much effort goes into making that feasible. Morrowind was one of the great games without...

The item comparison QOL stuff I agree with, to an extent. There are ways to do item comparison that you may not have explored, I didn't really understand it until I took the time. The world exploration thing I disagree with. The game has a tremendous amount of features integrated in that...

I'll have to try that out. OP summons are kind of acceptable to me in ER, more so than spells/items, because when I contemplate doing a "hard mode" playthrough of ER, not using summons is probably first on everybody's list. So this summon being available, and accessible somewhat early on, is...

guard counters are strong and fast, using it when you have an opening even without 100% phys def can be really good. Using it has the same problem as other counterattack approaches, you lose the initiative and have to wait for the opponent to attack. This is unavoidable in tough fights because...

I'm guessing it's the Icon Shield

Asmongold looks like I feel playing ER. I love the graphic for the meteor. I actually didn't see it ingame. My first attempt when the boss disappeared I just got oneshot by it without even knowing what happened and the next attempt when he disappeared I just ran away until he showed up again...

Some musings on my build. I went with a bleed build using twinblades and transitioned into a dragon communion incantation cast that used the https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Dragon+Communion+Seal to boost my dragon communion incantations. I primarily use...

If you ever get frustrated playing ER, don't worry. Even this guy with one arm probably had trouble too.

what the fuck +

Any special rules you're going to follow? I've been trying to break the game but feel like I'm missing something essential, but don't want to stop. Beating a boss with my faith dragonborne build is so cheesy. I feel like a no summons, no talisman playthrough would be interesting. Maybe no...

Agreed. I wouldn't mind seeing them ride on elden ring for a long time like gta5 and skyrim. Ok, maybe not thaaaat long.

Oblivion was a great game. It got a lot of shit because the "do anything be anything" approach fell flat in some areas, like leveling scaling. Some of the freeform stuff (NPC faces and AI, automated questing) were too ambitious and under-delivered. And they followed one of the most unique set of...

yes, right before I posted this. Didn't die from the jumping and almost never die but I'm developing vertigo from this shit.

I can't take the stress of another one of these massive towers. The tower of Liurnia was just too much. This game is giving me acrophobia. There had better not be any heights in Lyndel.

the pedals are useful but more for fun. Personally I don't feel comfortable with joystick camera controls or WASD character movement, so the fusion of the two of them really makes the game enjoyable in ways that previous dark souls weren't.

not a stupid question, I think a lot of people are wondering the same thing right now with how much post-release ER hype there is. If you pick a solid starter build, follow a guide or two on easy early game loot, progress through the game by doing the easy content first, the game is not that...

re: online play and messages, I don't know if it's because a week post-release or because I'm in the mid-game, but the signal/noise ratio has gotten a lot better on the messages. They're useful, unique and entertaining enough that I'd rather play with the narrow console pleb screen view and keep...

I read that Eleonars Blade and other arcane weapons have no weapon scaling due to a bug currently. Not sure if that excludes them from being good at later levels or not.

Send this to you buddy: https://c.tenor.com/ohq77LCGdiAAAAAM/the-rock-dwayne-johnson.gif and then make a jacking off motion to him

On one hand I kind of like that there are probably broken builds out there. Online gaming's desire to have a level playing field makes everything feel boring and neutered. OTOH the allure of build meta and theorycrafting goes away if there are obvious "lol just delete mobs with this comet"...

You talking about ? Looks interesting, thanks!

What weapon skills tho? I guess what I'm really wondering is whether a hybrid build is gimped because if you're casting you're not swinging your weapon, but I don't know if there aren't like, mid-tier spells that really help a weapon swinging class. Maybe what I really need to do is play a...

It doesn't matter that much. Where it matters is you can't drop your stat allocations below the starting values when you respec. I think it'll be normal for players to respec throughout the game, so if you roll astrologer and halfway through respec to full STR build, you'll be carting around 16...
