Im really glad that I didn’t play elden ring when it came out and the hype was real instead I got it at the right moment in my life and have been enjoying it over the winter like a fine wine.

A funny thing I just did was to try and get to the

through the sewers. Having only ever played DS1 my intuition was “Hmm this is a souls game so I bet I need to suffer through the shitty sewers to get to the next part of the game like blighttown”

Needless to say, I got all the way down to that

before I considered maybe theres another way to the lift. It had never occured to me to just follow the main road through lyndell to the big door and just open it. I felt equally stupid and kind of proud that I basically discovered like 3 new underground areas and beat that omen prick fair and square when I was probably underleveled. I don’t use magic or spells or grease in souls games just good old fashon sword and shield and health potions until it dies or I die.
