The whole game looks and feels just like a themepark and not a world that was alive for one second. Why are japs so unbelievable shitty at world buliding? They're all mentally deranged beyond repair.
Elden Ring BS

>i'm a severely autistic ESL: the thread
Blaidd was created by the Two Fingers overseeing Ranni. It also created the Baleful Shadow, which is just Blaidd again.
The rest of this seems like "what 2as Aragorn's tax policy?" stuff.
Marika is a Numen, which are a people who came from beyond the Lands Between, which also explains where the people came from. The demigods are her descendants.
The living jars are, wait for it, magic.
The Golden Order is a sociopolitical and metaphysical arrangement made possible by the blessings of the Erdtree.
what is the erdtree? where does it come from? how old is it?
Also what was their tax policy?
Magic.
>what do they eat?
>how do they procreate?
Nigga are you a biologist
>autists will actually take time to explain everything in this blatant bait thread
I haven't beaten the game yet.
People think it's a space parasite that presumably arrived in the Lands Between like Astel and the Fallingstar Beasts. Maybe sent by an Outer God, maybe not.
I'm interested in the Fingers: they seem to exist purely to manage the Demigods and act as conduits for the Greater Will (Three fingers notwithstanding).
Are they native to to the planet, or did they arrive at the behest of the Outer Gods?
>One npc is half wolf but there's not a single other similar being in this world
He's an entity created by the Two Fingers
>There are giant "trolls" but not a single one of them has guts for some reason. It's not clear how they live and procreate
They used to have "guts".
>There are no town are real looking cities that seem believable in the least. What do they eat? Where is all the population coming from?
People are immortal and mad, they don't need to eat.
>Almost all enemy types are extremely unrealistic and it's unclear how they came to be, what they eat, how they procreate etc.
It's a fantasy game and nothing really procreates anymore, since death has disappeared and people lost their sex drives.
>There's motherfucking jars full of flesh living somehow?
Have you ever heard of the fantasy genre?
>Where did the people in the lands between come from?
Everything came from the crucible.
>Where does the erdtree come from? Is he the first of his kind?
Obviously not since you see other trees.
>What is the golden order? Are there more of his kind?
Death removed from the Elden Ring. On other planets possibly there are other orders.
>Why are there gods and demigods? How did they came into existence?
The Greater Will/Demigods choose gods, demi-gods are their kids.
There is lots of vague shit in this game, but these are questions with some very obvious answers.
Yes.
I like thinking about this stuff anyway.
Watch Vaati's videos and it'll explain everything.
I don't think the Golden Order is the Elden Ring sans Destined Death. Once that rune was removed, The Shattering ensued, and the good times were over. Doesn't make sense that the Golden Order would be formed when things went bad.
Fuck that gay, plagiarising nigger.
People are talking Joseph Anderson apparently pretty seriously about this game, my buddy just started and he beat Godrick and managed to go on YouTube for a breakdown of the combat before even finishing the game. I know the game is tricky and can be ridiculous at times but aren’t these guys kind of whiny bitches? Like Godrick is easy to handle, he’s really not difficult, yet somehow people are trying to educate people on how ‘unfair’ these bosses are, without even like trying to use a shield. I just think it’s neurotic. There’s some stuff later game that’s really tricky but how sensitive do you have to be to call Godrick a problem? I really think Joseph Anderson has an autistic stick up his ass and a lot of players run to people like that for excuses and explanations for why they didn’t win the first time in a fight
you're just upset he's made a video about something instead of being a gay faggot in discord talking about lore.
Get off your ass and make videos or don't cry if someone else does, you lazy fucking faggot. He made like 25k off that vid.
Seethe. Yea Forumsaati is our guy
It is and the shattering was long after the rune was removed.
>plagiarising
What? He creates analysis videos, not video games or any kind of art.
posting a frog should be a permanent ban
>long after
Source. The rune was removed Godwyn was murdered, and then the other Demigods started fighting among themselves for the title of Elden Lord, aka The Shattering.
Bro not all fantasy has to be a 1:1 reality where people shit and fuck.
Miyazakis worlds are more like dreams or mythology where things just are and there's not an earthly scientific explanation for it.
People like you ruin fantasy by taking all of the imagination out of it
He got his start by taking discussions from Yea Forums and /vg/ and presenting them as his own ideas. Which would be forgivable, I suppose, considering it was so long ago and he just has reddit do the work for him now, but he's an insufferable prick, so I don't feel like letting it go.
No, the rune was removed. Maliketh had it. Part of it was stolen and used to kill Godwyn. The shattering was Marika shattering the Elden Ring.
>One npc is half wolf but there's not a single other similar being in this world
The Greater Will, the current god of that land, created Blaidd to protect and watch Ranni, he was made special
>There are giant "trolls" but not a single one of them has guts for some reason. It's not clear how they live and procreate
They are slaves and slave warriors and have been castrated and gutted and they’re wasting away
>There are no town are real looking cities that seem believable in the least. What do they eat? Where is all the population coming from?
Limgrave has a town, Raya Lucaria has a sunken city and a non sunken part right outside the dungeon. There’s the capital. Caelid has a town
>There are large cities underground that have absolutely unrealistic architectures. Who's managed them? Where was the agglomeration?
Ancient warlocky magic dudes who invented magic to fight the Greater Will and then were struck down. Grace makes people do incredible things like build cities and run them until they lose grace and are struck down
>Allmost all enemy types are extremely unrealistic and it's unclear how they came to be, what they eat, how they procreate etc.
They’re just undead guys who don’t have to eat, and different monsters either from space, of different races, or they’ve mutated from another race
>There's motherfucking jars full of flesh living somehow?
Yeah nobody can fully die in the lands between so they hold the semi-living remains in these urns which eventually develop a unique soul from the different bodies within them
>Where did the people in the lands between come from?
They traveled there or were born there and proliferated
IMarika found the early Erdtree and vines to its runes powers and laws. This made her a God, actually able to alter the laws of physics and be extremely powerful, then she had demigod children who inherit some of this too
Anime and Frog website.
Maliketh is another wolf guy. Both were created for the same purpose.
Fuck bungled my copy paste
>Where did the people in the lands between come from?
They immigrated there from elsewhere or were born there and proliferated
>Where does the erdtree come from? Is he the first of his kind?
A meteor brought it from beyond the stars, it’s unique in the lands between but there used to be a primordial crucible before it that did similar things but with less law and being more feral
>What is the golden order? Are there more of his kind?
A religion and set of physics laws that dictate the behavior of the universe, Marika and her subordinates founded it. They hate heresy, but there are heretics to the golden order
>player is forced to be a human
>game is filled with no humans
Im sure this is just lazyness to not adjust armors.
Fair enough, last story boss I beat was Fire Giant. I'm still skeptical about the explanation for the Golden Order, because it's generally held as a positive expression of the Erdtree/Demigods/ Elden Ring, and it coming about in response to a negative event like Destined Death being removed seems contradictory, but we'll see.
>There are large cities underground that have absolutely unrealistic architectures
There's always a point that gives away the bait. Oh no, fantasy in a fantasy game. Good heavens nobody has ever had weird architecture in this genre before.
If you beat the Fire Giant that should also give you a hint as to why Trolls don't have guts.
I'm not OP.
If we're talking about Marika's curse, I think that only applied to one specific giant, but I might be wrong. In any case, I'm not sure I'd group trolls and giants together racially.
Why did Marika go to war with the giants, anyway? Afraid of the giantsflame burning down her tree?
>man doesn't credit anonymous for the theories he presents
Gee user.
How about just come up with your own ideas in the first place?
Just read the description of the Fire Giant's remembrance and the the items you can get from it.
Why would he, when he can make a video, and money, off of something you literally cannot credit?
>>One npc is half wolf but there's not a single other similar being in this world
Maliketh retard. They're both shadows. There's also bloodhound knights which are probabyl dogs of sorts.
>>There are giant "trolls" but not a single one of them has guts for some reason. It's not clear how they live and procreate
what relevance does it really have? Maybe they procreate via spores or were created and not at all. It's not like you ever come across a troll society with young trolls or some shit like that so ti doesnt really need explaining
>>There are no town are real looking cities that seem believable in the least. What do they eat? Where is all the population coming from?
Nigger everyone's immortal they just kinda vegetate. Thats the entire point.
>>There are large cities underground that have absolutely unrealistic architectures. Who's managed them? Where was the agglomeration?
what about them is unrealistic beyond the usual fantasy fare? If you read lore descriptions you find out those cities got smited by the gods for trying to create their own gods. That's what happened to them
>>Allmost all enemy types are extremely unrealistic and it's unclear how they came to be, what they eat, how they procreate etc.
what exactly do you mean by them being "unrealistic"? Which one of them distinctly needed info as to how they procreate or you can't make sense of them?
>>There's motherfucking jars full of flesh living somehow?
it's a fantasy game what is the issue
>>Where did the people in the lands between come from?
the crucible nigger read ingame lore
>>Where does the erdtree come from? Is he the first of his kind?
The crucible nigger read ingame lore
>>What is the golden order? Are there more of his kind?
Read ingame lore nigger there's plenty explained about who founded it and why
>>Why are there gods and demigods? How did they came into existence?
Read the ingame lore nigger it's explicitly explained that the gods gave them runes of power
>Why are japs so unbelievable shitty at world buliding?
Why are you so disingenuous? Its literally only Froms dark fantasy games that do this.

I read the first two lines and one was factually incorrect, the other nonsensical. I will not read the rest.

t- beat the game with dual straight swords
Isn’t Malekith part wolf? Or beast anyway.
Falls into Blaidd category
shut up quantum nigger
no
Welp
>>One npc is half wolf but there's not a single other similar being in this world
maliketh, baleful shadows
>>There are giant "trolls" but not a single one of them has guts for some reason. It's not clear how they live and procreate
the enslaved giants have their chests cut out, at the very end of the game you fight a giant with his chest intact
>>There are no town are real looking cities that seem believable in the least. What do they eat? Where is all the population coming from?
ok calm down george
>the enslaved giants have their chests cut out, at the very end of the game you fight a giant with his chest intact
oh fuck I finally get it. To enslave them they tore their chest faces out, right?
Lol
Welp
Yeah

Wrong

Why do you think the erdtree is like, a man? Anyway it's explained, read moar
>What is the golden order? Are there more of his kind?
What the fuck are you saying
>Why are there gods and demigods? How did they came into existence?
All explained
Isn't this a common problem in games that are set in medieval times that have monsters in it? Look at the witcher 3, there are plenty of monsters in it, but how is that possible? Supposedly, the humans are out-breeding not only the monsters but all the other races, as well. Where's the synergy? Sometimes, the monsters are portrayed as op as all fucking hell and waste humies in the dozens without breaking a sweat, other times, a single small unit of soldiers are able to bring down a monster. Why so many monsters? How??
