>>5350277I have not played Elden Ring, though I played through Bloodborne endlessly and soloed offline all the games from Sekiro to every demons souls (I imported it from Japan!) and dark souls game.

>>5350207Hold some myths back about the world and let players find or uncover it. In fact you can leave some omissions in your story line and see if players take some action to fill them in.
Just my opinion though, no idea if Elden Ring still follows the old design philosophy of Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Also I just wanted to post this sword, it is sort of embarrassing yet also cool lol. GRR Martin basically made Game Of Thrones chair sword. (Is there any cool lore about this sword? Does it have a good weapon moveset in the game?)
