If you like lore and Elden Ring, there’s basically no end to fan analysis and theories. YouTube channels like VaatiVidya and Tarnished Archaeologist are particularly good if you want to get sucked into that sort of thing. I really enjoy how much inspiration the game takes from real ancient mythologies, much of it quite subtle.
TA and also SmoughTown have become basically the definitive Elden Ring lore sources and boy is there a lot of it.
Fromsoft have always been masters of environmental storytelling, but seeing how the fanbase dug in to their previous work they really leaned in to it this time and I love it. At least 2/3 of Elden Ring’s full story is told through context and subtext.
