There's so much obvious favoritism for Ranni in the game I have to imagine it's her ending.

I do hope there's a second game. The stories all feel half finished, but that might just be how Miyazaki rolls.

Goldmasks ending makes it so that NO ONE can fuck with the ring except the GW (who created it). That means that there will be no more demigods. If there is to be a ruler, it will be the GW, and it doesn't seem all that interested in claiming the throne.

>>743752495

How can you be its slave if it left ages ago?
>>
>>743752405
>The erdtree is bad on its own
What do you think it does?
What purpose do you believe it serves?
What are empyreans, exactly? Why do you think Marika became the way she was? Why do you think Ranni wanted out enough to risk destroying the world, and destroying her entire family and system in the process, for? Why does Melina and her mother (the witch) would rather see the world burn to ashes rather than to see it keep on going the way it does now?
What about the flame of frenzy, why do you think it even cares about the land between if not because of the three?

>>743752495
>No uhm see, this time it'll be real gommunism
Here's the thing, retard-kun, the greater will is so far away that the reason it wanted people in charge is because it's impossible for it to take charge, the crone herself tells you it takes thousands of moons for the fingers to receive the data from the GW, and you think they could just figure shit out without needing to be there?

You seem to also somehow believe that the 'demi gods' are special, they're not, most of them were just powerful royals that became more powerful through rune bullshitting (which also comes from GW, dun dun dun), marika isn't the one that came to GW and hijack the power, I'm not sure why you would even believe that, the whole point of the fingers 'serving' (aka surveying) the royal family is precisely because GW is the one behind it all, you remove marika and something else takes its place (you, in case you take one of those retarded endings)

>>743752776
>but it's not here
It was never here, and what do you think the fingers interact with? What do you think they're for?

Have you faggots not played the game?
>>
>>743752620
Because the Age of Plenty was so fucking bad, right? That was when Marika was still doing the GW's bidding and it ended in her woman moment during which she shattered the ring and severed the Lands Between from the GW.
>>
>>743752954
>The crone herself tells you it takes thousands of moons for the fingers to receive the data from the GW

This is a lie perpetuated by the fingers. The truth is that the GW has never communed with them after its initial instructions given to Metyr.

Either the GW has truly abandoned the Lands Between or something has happened to it that makes it unable to respond. Whatever the case is, Goldmasks ending frees the people of the LB to govern themselves (in a pre-shattering state, no less) with no divinities to usurp power until such a day that the GW should return. And should such a day come to pass, I doubt any of the mending runes would make the GW unable to reclaim its creation.
>>
>>743753016
>haha look if everyone just did what the AI wanted then there wouldn't be any more problems, just do as you're told and only take what's given to you!!
This is why commies are so insufferable, you faggots don't seem able to understand the human condition at all and think 'but why would anyone else want more than what's given to them anyways??', and that's precisely why your systems never work and always go down in flames, often enough, with a lot of people dying in the process.

>B-but things were so good for a time
And they're not anymore. Voila, that's it, that's how far your argument goes. If you remove the human (or in that case even, the 'sentient' element) then sure, if we were all plants then sure, probably it'd work, but is that the case?
You don't build a system thinking everything's going to 'just work out', you build one understanding all the flaws of it and all the 'what could go wrongs' and prepare and adapt for it.
>>
>>743733314
Because it puts the divine out of the hands of fallible, corruptible mortals.

Have you ever heard of concepts such as 'irony' and 'the burden of proof lies with the claimant'?
You're not even trying to tell me that it's something he's showing he wants or claiming he wants, you're just parroting random hearsays from random people within that world, 'oh maybe that's what it does' and you go 'OMG HE WANTS THAT', you're not just naive, you're retarded bro.
You don't know what he does, you don't know what he wants, all you know is that he moves to places and point at things like a retard, you don't know his connection with GW or if he even has one, you don't know if he's just a schizo or maybe there's truth in what's being said about him, you just think 'well the name of the ending is 'age of order' so surely that means that [fanfiction]'

So he just happened to know that the hang-up that Goldmask had had to do with Radagon and it just so happened that you clearing up that hangup by informing him of Radagon's true nature caused him to continue his communion?Or that Corhyn grew disdainful of said communion when he began to decipher what, to him, were blasphemous musings about the Golden Order?

I'll never know why they didn't bother to make another expansion and let the only one they made be a "side story" that doesn't affect the real world/ending options. SotE and Phantom Liberty were two of the most disappointing expansions possible because you could see the potential but instead they cut things down and pissed it all away
>>
>>743756228
Because they cannot make consistent, thought-out stories with a beginning middle and end. They just throw pieces of ideas and concepts together and leave players yo fill the gaps however they like. The world seems detailed and polished at first glance but the more you look the more gaps you see, thus they cannot make an expansion that expands upon or delves deeper into the worldbuilding, because if they did it would all fall apart.

Goldmask is a more viable ending than people give credit for. Goldmask's rune around the Elden Ring makes it so it can never be modified again. With death restored, Goldmask firmly believes the Elden Ring is a perfect system for governing existence, and that it is the gods who are at fault for trying to change that. But that's half the enchilada. The other half is, idealy anyway, it could be centuries or millennia down the road, and people of the world wouldn't have to wonder
>What's all this existence stuff about, anyway?
They can point to Elden Ring, an immutable law of existence, and gain guidance. Contrast with our reality, where there are a million different ways people convince themselves to go and believe in this that or the other.

While I'm thinking of it, I wonder why they didn't offer an ending path that lets you save Melina without it being the one that has her hating/attempting to kill you for basically burning the world for the fuck of it like an edgelord teenage anarchist. Not to mention that I remember seeing people early on talking about
>What if you don't make the pact with Melina? How far can I get without Sites of Grace or leveling?
challenge runs, I thought for sure they'd do an alternate path that either you go "maidenless" entirely or find another maiden later, etc. But no, you're basically soft locked without Torrent, no progression. Seems a real waste, but then again there are plenty of other places in the game universe that could have been improved as well.
>>
>>743757875
Close, but not quite right.
Goldmask CORRECTLY realized that the problem with the world isn't the Greater Will, nor the Erdtree, nor the Elden Ring.
The problem is Marika.
Putting the power of a Greek god into the hands of a regular human, who has normal person flaws like everyone else, is a really bad idea.
So Goldmask's solution is to not have a person involved with the governance of reality.
Instead, have the system run itself, or let The Greater Will handle everything directly via Grace.

idgi if the elden ring disappeared it's not as if causality and regression, the bedrock tenets of the elden ring, would disappear. time still can only move forward, and people will always want to go back to the good old days but we cannot. why do we need the elden ring for that.
>>
>>743733420
This, if they're being boring about it.
Ranni's ending implies making the world more like ours which is boring for a sequel.

Though if I made an Elden Ring sequel, it would be all endings are canon and merge into a single time line like Daggerfall.
>>
Bros imagine the chilly cuddle sessions with Ranni under the moonlight in Liurnia.
>>
>>743762258
You're correct that time, causality, gravity and other fundamental aspects of reality wouldn't just cease without the Elden Ring.
The problem is that other Outer Gods would now be able to try and take the world for themselves, and most of them are a not very nice.
You already see this in-game; with the Elden Ring broken (but not destroyed) The Formless Mother is able to start corrupting throughout Mohgwyn Palace Grounds, the Scarlett Rot is able to spread out from the Lake of Rot, etc.
The Elden Ring was able to keep other Outer Gods at bay, or reduced to small pockets of infestation like the Frenzied Flame prescription.

Separately, the mere presence of The Elden Ring brought a lot of nice benefits to the world:
1. Golden Order miracles can now function, allowing people to just cast healing magic by having enough faith.
2. The Erdtree brought abundance and fertility to crops and people. Extended lifespan was included in this even without Marika removing the Rune of Death.
3. The Guidance of Grace let's people see a little yellow glowy light that can help in day to day life, such as helping you find your way back to the road if you get lost in the woods, or help you find your keys if you lose them down the side of the couch
I could go on, but the plethora of benefits brought by the Elden Ring (separate from Marika's extra stuff) would cease if you destroyed it or removed it.
>>
>>743763738
but the elden ring did not abate the omen curse, and the frenzied flame was kept at bay by locking up the three fingers. and the erdtree stopped being a source of abundance likely after the godfrey was done conquering because the erdtree is fed with bodies.
>>
>>743763738
>The problem is the outer gods would take the world for themselves.
This take is such a vaatislop interpretation. It's basically rubbing Bloodborne's dick in the sauce simply because it's another souls game.

The only comparable lovecraftian things are the celestial bodies and the Frenzied Flame, which seek to change the world in place of the Ring.

All the other Outer Gods are just opressed parts of the world, there isn't this "race to throne" concept, this was made purely by vaati after he was humiliated by the "Elden Ring is a space parasite" concept being trampled on.

Aren't they the equivalent of potato particle board

Anon you're misremembering a factoid about how Frito-Lay had an autistic temper tantrum over Pringles calling their product a potato chip, believing their "It's a potato chip but how did we make it fit in these cans? :^)" gimmick was ass raping their sales.

They believed suing them and forcing them to call pringles something different would dispel the gimmick and make customers march back to Lays.

None of this amounted to any change, Pringles just fell into normalcy and whether your filled your fat American mouth with Pringles or Lays became something of pure taste/mouthfeel preference. It's just another pointless thing showing how retarded and out of touch you become when you're a shareholding jew.

You're stuck in front of the Erdtree after beating Morgott and forced to talk to Melina. You don't even get an alternate dialogue for ignoring her for so long.

If the Roundtable Hold is in the bottom left of the map, is it also a floating giant we teleported from like in Nightreign.
Or did we get birded in, considering there's bird things and it's tied to birdwind castle. And Roundtable is just "don't worry about it".
Where are we what the fuck is happening.

Why Quality/Faith? There's practically nothing you need over like 25 dex. Strength/Faith is much more practical.

It isn't really where it is on the map, it really is in Leyndell, just in a different dimension. Honestly I'm kind of tired of the Fromsoft "le time and space are distorted" meme. It was cool once or twice, but now it's just an excuse for them to be lazy. Very early in development, there was supposed to be another erdtree way out in the ocean or something, and that's where the player would go with Melena to, but they changed it to be just Roundtable Hold, while never removing the map marker's location.

Dex increases casting speed, strength requires less investment if anything due to the 2 hand bonus

Yeah but you need 30 Strength for the Erdtree Greatshield, the best Faith item in the entire game.
