The long-term effects of Elden Ring need to be studied
Why would Itachi use Tsukuyomi on Sasuke and force him to see his parents death 518,400 times?
Genuinely curious b/c if Itachi was secretly looking out for Sasuke this whole time and truly wanted the best for him, why would he force him to watch his parents being murdered more than 500,000 times?
Would that not be considered cruel and unusual punishment? I get it that he wanted to make sure Sasuke hated him but it seems like total overkill. Curious to know if there’s a legit reason for this that I’m just unaware of.
Do you think Alexander’s journey was ultimately inspiring… or just tragic?
Did anyone else hesitate before delivering the final blow to Alexander?
I knew where his questline was heading, but I still wasn’t fully prepared for how depressing that final encounter would feel.
The fact that Alexander still praises your strength and thanks you afterward honestly just makes it worse. Went from seeing him as comic relief early on to one of the most tragic characters in the game for me.
Curious how everyone else felt during that moment.
Getting into Mods
Anybody able to offer some advice on how to safely go about adding mods to my game? The only game I’ve ever played w/ mods was Skyrim which required 0 real skill or knowledge since it was built into the default game menu.
I know that Elden Ring has the easy anti-cheat software on PC that comes w/ the threat of getting banned so I wanted to find out how to safely add mods without facing any risk.
If anyone could help me out or at least point me in the right direction it’d be much appreciated! Thanks!
Keyboard + Mouse vs. Controller
Hey all, quick question here.
I recently found my old Razer BlackWidow keyboard and it made me curious about trying Elden Ring on KB+M instead of controller.
From what I’ve always heard, the game seems like it was designed around controller gameplay, but I’ve also seen people say KB+M becomes perfectly viable once you remap the controls properly.
For those of you who actually play on keyboard + mouse, what would you say are the biggest differences compared to controller?
Are there any specific keybinds or settings you’d recommend changing right away?
Just curious what the community consensus is nowadays. Thanks!
What was your very first impression stepping out into Limgrave?
What reveal in Elden Ring hit the hardest on your first playthrough?
What’s the most memorable player interaction you’ve had during an invasion in Elden Ring?
Which area in Elden Ring was the most visually breathtaking to you?
For me, it has to be Siofra River. I still remember taking that elevator down and realizing the underground area was basically its own hidden world. Easily one of the most beautiful gaming moments I’ve experienced.
