I love just abandoning Elden Ring playthroughs I'm just like "okay that's enough" and start a new game...I've been playing Elden Ring almost nonstop (with a little mass effect break) since I got it in November and it's now June. And I'm still like...hm I think I'm done with this strength/int endeavor I want to try blasphemous paladin again

#I just love roleplaying a sad paladin learning their oath is kind of shit #and trying but failing to abandon it and instead striking a balance where they redefine their oath for themselves #which isn't. *really* a paladin. In the DnD sense. There's Consequences to breaking an oath there isn't it? which is very fun actually #but this isn't DnD #me vs elden ring #I'm always captivated by the concept of what it means to have faith in the world of dark souls #where objectively factually the things you have faith in are failing/have failed and fallen #and the figures central to your religion turn out to be flawed and human #and yet at the same time miracles are tangible things and your faith allows you to heal and defend yourself and spread blessings #what is 'faith' in this scenario exactly? Faith in what? #I can never make a dumb faith build who just walks forward with entirely blind belief I always have to angst it a bit #in dark souls I always lean back towards it being faith *in* the miracles. The tales of the gods you recite to receive their blessing #or copy their abilities with lightning spear etc. #Elden Ring is especially funny of course because faith allows you all kinds of incantations. And I think the fact that you have all kinds o #incantations. MOST of which are kind of blasphemous and have nothing to do with the Erdtree itself #and yet you can cast them just the same as any other incantation #is an interesting concept to me. For a character to struggle with. #Alongside the whole 'Marika was the one who shattered the Elden Ring' thing. #I also like making devoted faith knights who swear oaths and are secretly really repressed gay boys. #what if I wielded a blasphemous blade of unholy flame and you wielded a sliver of a cold dark moon and we were both boys
