      Still think it was a missed opportunity to not have the some of the DLC npc’s react if you’ve allied with Ranni or the Three Fingers. How hard could it have been to have the VA’s record a few extra lines?

          Might as well kill everyone since I'm consuming the entire world with the flame of frenzy anyways. Just sparing them from the madness and eye burns.

            I feel like killing one of these guys with the bell bearings should give you their entire stock for free. I mean I already killed them so where would the runes be going to?

              These NPCs make it way too easy if you wanna kill one. Just spam fan daggers and they'll spam dodge towards you, setting them up for an ultimate Giant Hunt. I'm talking about the ones that are later game and tankier, of course.

                At last, I am returned to grant this game audience once more. I'm setting on a quest, from Limgrave to the gate of Divinity - EVERY single NPC encountered will be mercilessly killed. Any tips/questions are welcome.

                  It would be funny if souls games had some sort of creative mode where I can just go around brutally murdering every NPC over and over again and then reset the progress back to a certain point so I don't have to deal with any questline consequences when I wanna start seriously progressing. I have many NPCs in mind that I would want to go beast mode on. Totally drill them apart with my serpent hunter, Mike Tyson them with my spiked fists, or even flaying their skin off with my hookclaws. The most enjoyable part to me is when they've finally been bested, are on their knees fading away and saying their final words. Like, I can only imagine the look on my Finger Maiden's face as she beholds me unleashing total horror onto these guys LMFAO

                    I killed every NPC with every weapon in ELDEN RING, and these are the ones I enjoyed the most:

                    #1 Fingerprint Stone Shield, and literally any other madness weapon - killing them after proccing madness they’re screaming with the flames burning their eyes out is the funniest thing ever.
                    #2 Eclipse Shotel - death-blighting is also amusing, just sending them over to godwyn’s realm.
                    #3 Rusted Anchor - preferably with wild strikes, just a spin to win. and it does pierce damage, even better.
                    #4 Stone Club - R1 R1 R1 R1 R1 R1!
                    #5 Spiked Caestus - Nothing special, but it made me feel like an MMA fighter.

                      Next time someone wants me to explain myself when I say "I hate Fromsoftware fans" (and the confusion in my case would be absolutely understandable, given I played almost their entire catalogue since the King's Field games), I'll just point them to this here page. 99.9% certifiable psychopaths, the lot of y'all (and I must express my sincerest apologies to the 0.1%, none of the following is meant for you in any way shape or form whatsoever). No it's not the fact of not having any qualms about "killing" an npc in a game ("ones & zeroes" & all that; I am not delusional enough to believe otherwise, I chose the real ending in Expedition 33). It is however the sadistic gleeful enthusiasm with which y'all share these events and attitudes, as if it were an achievement comparing competition of some sort. Sharing this sort of sentiment about boss-opponents of some sort or another (and Cthulhu knows there's a -lot- of those to go around in this damn game), is understandable, and logical, given the aggravation and difficulty we all go through (more or less, a Str tank build trivialized 90% of the game for me). However, gloating about brutalizing an npc that in most cases opposed no resistance in the first place/was one-shot (because they were never meant to be fought, for once), or sharing the "dirty tricks" to stealth kill them (as if they were the guardian to Leyndell itself), as if sharing stories about killing a bear bare handed in real life or something of that caliber, that can't possibly be a sign of a healthy mind. If anything, for a healthier and more reasonable outlet, I'd personally recommend we all redirect our not altogether unwarranted ire (yes, for the sake of my own sanity, I chose to believe that what I read on this page was the result of hours of aggravation, lost questlines to obscure and lazy design etc.), towards the proper target: Miyazaki, who purposefully designed the DLC to be as hazardous as possible in terms of interconnected questlines replete with mutual lockouts, mysterious invisible never hinted at locations, that automatically deprive us from 80% of the DLC's content with no warning, and so on.

                        So varre calls us maidenless, does this imply the other tarnished (NPCs) all have maidens? And if they dont then how do they warp to the roundtable hold and/or level up?

                          Don’t do side quests, so I’m completely fine killing all of them. Easy way to get early runes and early items.

                            Vending machines are a true marvel of modern engineering. They are the unsungheroes of the workforce, providing sustenance and hydration to those who need it most. They are the ultimate embodiment of convenience and efficiency, reducing the time and energy required to acquire life's essentials. They are the hidden pillars of our society, silently performing their duties without any expectation of praise. In short, vending machines are the unsung heroes of the modern world, and they deserve our utmost respect and admiration - JC Denton 2052.

                                it’s kinda fun killing them, whether by sending blazing chaos flame into the eyes or spreading the black smoke of death around them, leaving thorns penetrating their body. NPC torture has never been more fun than this.

                                          Taking a moral high ground just because someone killed an NPC in a video game for either convenience or fun is one of the most pathetic things I’ve ever seen. It gets to a point where people sympathise with NPCs who deliberately try to get you killed…

                                            ur right tbh most of them die regardless and if they don’t die they usually try to hinder your progress, just slaughter all of them

                                              Alexander, Rogier, D, Enia, Yura, Diallos... Plenty of npcs who didn't deserve to die. Explain instead of just saying "no, they did deserve it"

                                                these games are at the point where they can benefit from a skelly type npc (for any hades players), a test dummy with personality that can't die and has banter in between ass-beatings so you don't feel like a complete monster for doing it 24/7 and making you wonder what their true motives are for being so complacent in just being a borderline slave

                                                  What reason is their for very little characters to live by the time you finish? This isnt dark souls where the world is basically ending and people die without purpose. They could just give you or leave their gear where they were you shouldn't need to strip your friends corpse for goodies 95% of the time

                                                      What's up with the "this game sucks, this NPC sucks, this questline sucks, this dialogue sucks, the lore sucks, the voice acting sucks, none of this means anything, every other game is better than this" people that crop every time you try discuss something vaguely related to the narrative or characters? I can't be the only one who has noticed them. They're honestly just insufferable and should go somewhere else if they hate it this much.

                                                        where do the NPCs get their hair done? i dont see any barber shops on the map and idk if they have even invented scissors yet?

                                                          It's a f**king joke at this point. All dlc npcs listed either die, become a spirit ash or go in a vegetative state. If every person gets sad ending, then it just takes away any investment I can have in them. At least in base game some npcs had nice endings which gave me hope for others

                                                            I often talk to female npcs and pretending they are my gf. It's the only thing keeping me sane. I can only hope one day they can become real.

                                                                  • Anonymous

                                                                    • Anonymous

                                                                      • Anonymous

                                                                        the best roleplay of this dumpster game is to kill everyone, it's very immersive. also same voice actors since 15 year xD
                                                                        ranni is an entire dlc, while the others are just useless at best xD but problem is she the same generic anime witch you see in all souls games, mixed with the doll of bloodborne, so unique xD

                                                                        • Anonymous

                                                                          • Anonymous

                                                                            • Anonymous

                                                                              Yeah... they could have done a bit better of a job with the quest progression. Or at least giving the player an idea of where to go. The Npc icons are a very welcome addition.

                                                                              "Search every single square inch of Atlas Plateau" is not a good hint. I'm not looking for a quest marker, but damn. I had a good idea of where to find Coryn, but I still walked right past him because I wasn't on the road.

                                                                              Ironically, because I was exploring and trying to find everything, I almost missed him because I didn't follow the most direct route. Is "Hey Tarnished, over here!" too much hand holding? Overall, I think this approach works in their previous titles, but not in an open world where the npcs barely stick out of the environment.

                                                                              • Anonymous

On one hand for those who care to complete every quest without looking things up, it is borderline impossible. And I don't think it's intended. I think we are supposed to work together and log these things for others to be able to complete them. I wish there was a way to do it in-game though.

                                                                                And on the other hand it is so cool when you're just walking through an are exploring or happen to revisit an area just to see an old friend you weren't expecting.

                                                                                • I can't figure out how to fix this in the edit screen, but morgot's picture leads to renna's page. Someone else who knows how this works fix it.
