>got a guide/checklist for Elden Ring to complete character quests>have the most fun playing a souls game everIs it worth going back and playing old Souls games with guides/checklists?
I hate feeling the want for guides and checklist shit in long games like jrpgs. I stopped playing jrpgs partly because the missbble content is always in the back of my mind. It's alright in ER because it has ng+ and can be completed quickly.Go replay them if you really like them. I don't find npc quests fun to do, and the rewards aren't substantial.
>>720203148You have OCD
>>720203148>most fun playing a souls game everHOW?I actually 100% the game and even checked the entire overworld map, it was an absolute chore and the amount of re-used enemies and bosses in all those samey caves and dungeons and mines was infuriating, especially with how often the game tries to sell normal enemies as bosses to you.
>>720203148it's okay bro i'll save you the time>talk to zanzibar>'forgive me... does thou... want to aide myne queste? forsooth...'>talk to zanzibar in spot b>'you have arrived... i am.... fading... i grow undone...'>he dies>you get some shitty weapon that does nothing new if you're lucky, otherwise some garbage goofy looking armor or amulet that says 'zanzibar... once sucked his own dick... allegedly... in myth...'There, just spoiled you on every single quest in Souls games. Saved you hundreds of hours.

>>720203148>Is it worth going back and playing old Souls games with guides/checklists?you just played big dark souls, anon. every other game in the series is the same thing but on a smaller scale
>>720203148You have to play the game, this is how Miyazaki intended his games to be played. You could finish a souls game without a guide, but you need one to make the most out of it. It's a community-driven franchise.
>>720203148Honestly all of them benefit from it, but Elden Ring particularly so. The others you'll probably not miss as much simply because the smaller worlds make that less likely.
>>720203148>guide/checklist to complete character questsI'm glad Lies of P solved that.
>>720203148>physical AI slop book thrown together by some random jeet and then somehow sold on AmazonFucking kill yourself, OP. Holy shit.
>>720211470Can you elaborate please? Is Lies of P worth getting especially with its dlc?
>>720213315He meant that Lies of P has almost completely linear levels so it's hard to miss the quests or item that solves it, most of them are in the same area and you get a little icon on your teleport screen telling you when, where and who has new stuff to tell you if you talk to them. On my first blind playthrough I only missed a single NPC and their quest. If you like exploration in souls games LoP offers almost none, but the combat is solid (focused on parry rather than rolls) and I liked the story. DLC is worth it both for more story and because it gives you new weapons, almost all my favorites come from the DLC
>>720213883Thanks for the info, friend :)
>>720203148The shit you mention is probably the main reason why i only finished dark souls 3 once and never came back. The questlines bascially require you to stop the game every 30 minutes and look if you didn't fuck up any NPC story because you didn't do some specific task that was never told to you. Shit game design fi you ask me
Dark Souls 2 is particularly annoying about it, you need to summon NPCs to help you kill bosses to progress thier stories. I'm not sure if they need to survive the encounters though.
>>720215150If i remember correctly at least you can use bonfire aesthetic so it's not as bad
>>720203858>I don't find npc quests fun to doyeah because Fromsoft cannot write quests for shit. Somehow no one criticizes them for this
>>720208170>midsaw slop
