what is elden ring multiplayer like rn? it actually never occurred to me before... the fact that it sold so many copies means that its got to have been more active online than previous games. i know the other games still also all have more serious scenes with mods and things but im not involved in any of them. i dont uh. i dont know what it is like for most people in the most common multiplayer mode because i never dont opt in to all the multiplayer i can because comical chance encounters between sessions of tryhard casual pvp where, by restricting myself to gimmicks like only weapon arts or jumping and spinning before i cast spells, i roleplay a weird npc invader ai 🤔 this is the closest contact with an unfamiliar intelligence my delicate hikikomori constitution can withstand because i have the soul of a blade that will shatter if handled by any force other than a strapping trans lad. i want to kill you but i either want to earn it by responding proportionately to whatever you pull or doing something stupid that catches you off guard because you were laughing at me.
above all, a hunter must hunt.
maybe if i want to escape the clutches of the government i could start selling time slots to be your pvp bodyguard in whatever souls game. it really is the only up to date skill i have. its not tremendous but its enough to wanna try more whenever my life feels like it wants to stop exploding.
