This is absolutely my biggest complaint with Elden ring. You either use a guide or play the game 100 times trying to figure everything out. There are times where the dude literally tells you he’s going to be in a specific area and then he literally isn’t anywhere close to where he says he’s gonna be. It’s my first souls game and it was pretty frustrating for me.
I try to always play games blind but some things in elden ring i hardly understood with a guide. Or you get locked out easily out of quests. I was talking to an npc for a quest and accidentally hit attack and killed him. I was walking past that talking bush like 100 times and had no idea what’s even going on. I thought it’s a glitch, invisible npc or something. Even after looking it up i couldn’t find it. He’s still there in his bush. Or not, i don’t even know. I found out some hard puzzles accidentally.
But at the end of the day as long as i get through the game i’m happy. I’m no completionist.
It’s also really easy to lock yourself out of questlines by completing seemingly unrelated objectives. I get that being inscrutable is kind of a hallmark of these games, but I found myself unable to dig into some of the plotlines that really intrigued me.
I dunno. I kind of like it. It means for your first playthrough. You will get a very unique experience, different from your friends. You found different things.
Then again. Who in their right mind understands you can use a prattling pate to tell bock “you’re beautiful”? That’s just insane. Or maybe I’m just not smart enough.

And tbh I don’t have the time nor patience if I want to game after work.
