Holy friggin' based.

I hope this means From Soft can self-publish overseas.

 

[Silva]

Probably old news for most but I found a glaring lore mistake.

The Root Resin description cites a "Greatree" separated from the Erdtree. Such a thing obviously doesn't exist in the setting and is clearly a leftover from some dev phase scratched concept.

It's believed that this Greattree was the predecessor of the Erdtree, which may be linked to the Crucible that in turn is linked to the Crucible Knights.

The item description doesn't make any sense though:

Resin secreted from the roots of the Greattree.
Can also be found near trees on the surface.
Material used in crafting items.

The roots of the Greattree were once linked to those of the Erdtree,
or so they say,
and it is for this reason catacombs are built around Greattree roots.

Catacombs are not built around Greatree roots, but of Erdtree roots as part of the whole rebirth process in Erdtree era. And what info we have from the pre-Erdtree era, death was related to Deathbirds not trees.

This description makes no sense at all.

Could be translation. Could be changes in story. Could be why do you guys get so obsessive about flavour text in a game about exploration and pummeling demigods?

 

[Efe]

before it was greattree
then it got all glowy
then it became erdtree

 

[Skinwalker]

But the crucible knights were led by Godfrey. This timeline makes no sense.

 

[Child of Malkav]

Unrelated but I thought the tarnished were soldiers under the command of Godfrey. Godfrey was a general or some such in the army? Which means the tarnished he commanded were also part of the military, no matter what class you choose to start as. Classes = roles in that army?

 

[Child of Malkav]

Yuuuup, thanks for clearing it up guys, knew I could count on you.

 

[Skinwalker]

Godfrey was the Elden Lord, numbnuts.

 

[Silva]

I think the tarnished were Godfrey people in the cultural sense, like Slavs or something. Which would extend to it's personal army, of course.

 

[Skinwalker]

In Marika's own words:

My Lord, and thy warriors. I divest each of thee of thy grace.
With thine eyes dimmed, ye will be driven from the Lands Between.
Ye will wage war in a land afar, where ye will live, and die.
Well? Perhaps that might serve you in lieu of a maiden's guidance.

Then, after thy death, I will give back what I once claimed.
Return to the Lands Between, wage war, and brandish the Elden Ring.
Grow strong in the face of death. Warriors of my lord.
Lord Godfrey.

 

[Lyric Suite]

So where's the DLC Lebowski?

 

[Caim]

So where's the DLC Lebowski?

It's down there somewhere, let met take another look.

 

[Nathir]

So where's the DLC Lebowski?

It's coming out in 2 weeks!

 

[Alter Sack]

Do you play the game with gamepad or keyboard and mouse?

My gamepad doesn't work with the game and playing with keyboard feels a bit odd for me.

Thinking about buying an xbox controller for pc.

I hope it will work with that.

 

[gabel]

Do you play the game with gamepad or keyboard and mouse?

Steering wheel.

This description makes no sense at all.

You missed the "or so they say," part of the description. Fromsoft lore is rooted in conjecture in hearsay. Are you treating the equally shady and sparse lore of the Deathbirds as more valid?

Given the game's theme of "grafting" it's entirely possible there was a "Greattree" that was the predecessor to the Erdtree, before the Elden Beast dropped down, and took its place.

Though I do admit the description is a bit muddily-worded, since it doesn't state why the catacombs were originally built that way, even though in the age of the Erdtree, it's clear the purpose is somehow related to the current cycle of Erdtree burial and rebirth, which is itself a contestable theory. It's all rooted in a sense of mystery, on purpose, to make the world feel bigger and more alive.

It's probably just a mistranslation:

 

[Skinwalker]

Japanese is such an awkward, stunted language. No wonder there's a ton of mistranslations.

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

So where's the DLC Lebowski?

Shut the fuck up Donny

Thanks. It was obvious from the beginning for me, but it's nice to confirm it.

 

[Skinwalker]

I am having trouble forcing myself to keep exploring and clearing out the wormface-infested forest ruins in Altus plateau. Is it just this one location, or have I finally had enough of replaying Elder Nig?

 

[Silva]

Skinwalker , ignore that shit and go straight to the objective (which I assume to be the capital by your description). You'll have opportunity to come back later to explore these areas if you really want. Your sanity is more important and you'll lose it if you try to scour every nook of the map.
