as ragebaity as it may be, some of this strikes true, I feel like. it’s cool that item descriptions explain the lore, for example, but I personally have not engaged with them too much when I had the choice. and on paper, the combat is not all too flashy. It’s methodical, calculated, but overall, it’s “just” attacking and dodging.
opinions?
The death questions are at least answered in Elden Ring.
Only the worthy are revivied by the Erdtree and the bosses are literally targeted by whoever/whatever is sending you out to beat ass.
