Elden Ring Quests

Well...maybe...possibly...with the exception of the main quest. I...don't know. As has been said by others who play far more games than me, "It's From Software, so scr*** you." laugh.gif

Though I've not played Elden Ring - *every* other Baldur's Gate game, et. al. seem to follow the same course of dialogue/questing, since the early ones.

David Gaider has had some interesting things to say about that of late. Hopefully, it's a passing trend. I'm sure RPG players are pretty sick of utilitarian storytelling in video games today. Dark Souls games would probably be much better off with little to no "questing" at all. They're specifically designed around online PvP and co-op gameplay. So, why not run with that? I know they're trying to expand their audience, but I don't think they're going to rope in players familiar with good, old-fashioned RPGs that way.

EDIT: There is some good visual and environmental storytelling going on here and there. That's what Bethesda excels at as well. But questing? Yipes.
