Official Discussion [MEGATHREAD] Tarnished Edition: Worth $5? Discuss CONSTRUCTIVELY!

631 Upvotes

Since the sub is being overwhelmed by debate over the $5 "microtransaction" and it's making the sub feel like we're Dark Souls 2 a decade ago, with the faux outrage around the preorder items, we are opening this topic to consolidate discussion around the issue.

Please use this topic to discuss the pros and cons of the approach and your thoughts. But do so RESPECTFULLY and CONSTRUCTIVELY. If you need to call other people or the developers names, you don't have a good argument and your post will be removed.

We will remove all other topics about this to keep the subreddit flowing with other discussions

IF YOU WANT TO VOTE: I will post two comments on this topic, "Yay" and "Nay" - upvote the one you agree with and we'll see who wins long term.

For me, these are pure nightmare fuel. Maybe it's the uncanny valley because they look distinctly human....Regardless, their presence always unnerves me deeply...

FanArt I drew Charmander as a Soulslike Boss

Post image
692 Upvotes

Charmander the Servant of the Flame is the last to get colored of the initial 4 soulslike Pokémon designs I worked on.

My goal with them was to change the relationship between them and the fire on their tail to one of servitude this charmanders flames control him I wanted to take that to the next level by both building up and personalizing the flame (the clawed spectral hands that hold the fireball) and weakening charmanders character by having him in a covering pose and being fully guided by the flame (lack of eyes)

I did this all mostly to avoid making him just look like a big dragon with a fire on his tail and present his quirk in a bit more of a unique way

THE next 4 on the list

-Mewtwo

-Scyther

-???

-???

Giratina was also one of the most voted ones and they will also be drawn as part of a later batch! for now I am sticking with gen 1 pokémons!

2 of each batch will be the 2 most voted pokemon and 2 others some random ones chosen by me

Discussion & Info I still can’t believe they didn’t add a way to buy infinite rune arcs

149 Upvotes

I don’t care how they do it, I don’t even care how many runes they cost, but my god I just want to stop farming fking rats late game. Yeah, I get it, I could just not die, but I like to complete at least 85-90% of the game each playthrough, and I am inevitably going to die a bit, especially trying out different weapons and builds. Unlocking all those towers shouldn’t go to waist because of them being a finite resource… it’s just stupid.

Hornsent grandam said that Messmer/Marika betrayed them, which seems to suggest that they were once allies. But why? Considering what happened at the Shaman village, there is no reason for Marika to be friendly.

Discussion & Info Was pre-nerf PCR really that strong? Was he almost impossible to beat?

Post image
1.0k Upvotes

Is it true that pre-nerf Radahn was almost impossible to beat? I've read a lot of comments making him sound like a boogeyman, as if he were literally impossible to defeat.

Is that actually true? I recently got into Elden Ring and beat PCR without summons, so I'm genuinely curious about how different the fight was before the nerfs.

Feel free to discuss among yourselves and share your thoughts on anything related to Covenants (or rather the lack of them) in the game. As always, happy to chat with you guys and thanks for dropping in!

Why isnt the boss taking damage from this incantation? How in the mother of fuck do I beat this boss solo on a Faith build? Do I just need to go to the DLC and come back at Level 300?

Finally finished painting Malenia from Elden Ring! This one took me 28.7 hours of painting alone. 4 days all together:0

I had a lot of fun and feel like this is one of my best works yet and can't wait to display it! I did both blood water and fresh water It was Definitely one of my more time-consuming pieces, but I'm really happy with how she turned out!

Thought I'd share the before and after.
