I forgot to make a thread last week but oh well. I have been playing a new Elden Ring character. I originally thought I was gonna try to get to the DLC as fast as possible but I then decided "nah" and have played through most of the game, but have finally arrived in the DLC and have respec'd my build for Rellana's twin swords. Anyway, hope everyone has had a good week

I was getting my ass beat by Fear & Hunger earlier, might get back to that this evening. It's really interesting so far even if the learning curve is a bit too steep for my liking.

Oh, that's soon on my list! How are you liking it overall, is the learning curve actively pushing you away from it, or is it interesting enough that it feels rewarding to press on? Might not want to move to another brutal game right after I finish Elden Ring, haha.

I just picked it up and haven't gotten very far in at all so I can't really make any judgement in terms of how rewarding it actually is. I'm mostly in it because the combat is kinda cool and, call me sick but I really want to find out just how depraved the game gets. It's very CW: everything grimdark fantasy with sex, violence, dismemberment, body horror, or some fusion thereof so its not for everyone. If you do play it I reccomend giving the starter guide on steam a read, it got me from dying in three minutes to dying in ten minutes lol.

Thanks for the heads-up! I'm fine with CW stuff, but I don't like it when it's handled poorly, for cheap shock valuw, sounds like it's not great with that but not bad either. Thanks!
