The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has a story that was able to be as great as it is because of the literary source material that it comes from. The game's setting is expansive and filled with different monsters for the player to have to figure out a strategy against and then hunt down. There are small villages to pass through as well as enormous cities surrounded by castle wa

The Age of the Duskborn is one of the more complex endings in Elden Ring . To understand it, one must first understand what happened on the Night of the Black Knives. In that event, Godwyn and Ranni were the first demigods to be slain with a curse mark. However, Godwyn and Ranni were only half-slain in Elden Ring because their killers left half of the curse mark of death on each of them. This resulted in Ranni’s body dying while her soul lived on, whereas Godwyn’s soul died and his body lived on. In the Age of the Duskborn ending, the Tarnished and Fia bring the two halves of the curse mark of death together to make the Mending Rune of the Death-Prince . This rune is then used on the Elden Ring and restores the principle of death in the Lands Betw

Being reminiscent of the Black Knights from Dark Souls and The Pursuer from Dark Souls II , the Night's Calvary was supposed to serve as a "wandering enemy" of sorts. But, later on, they were reduced to being an enemy that you could encounter only in specific areas. And, while knowing where they are, it would have been interesting to see them randomly gallivanting about and catching us by surpr

Medieval fantasy games make up a large portion of the adventure and RPG genre of gaming. They allow players to both travel back in time but also face mystical creatures using different spells that they assume their characters learned or mythical strength that lets them hack and slash through enem

World of Warcraft takes the fantasy medieval setting and expands upon it more than any game has ever done so in the past. It has lore that is as dense as actual history books as the game has been around for almost 20 years. The expansions have continued to create new areas for the player to expl

These games allow players to open up their minds in creating a character that represents themselves well or lets them take on a life that isn't like theirs. There is a lot of freedom in the medieval fantasy genre in the way the world is experienced through the eyes of players' choices. Two experiences are almost always completely uni

The game feels like a dark hero's journey that leads to Geralt, the main character, feeling the need to fulfill his chivalric duties and makes the players feel that in their initial hunt for the Royal Grif

Fia’s ending in _Elden Ring _ raises more questions than answers. Also known as the "Age of the Duskborn," Fia’s ending causes a mist to descend onto the Lands Between. Given Fia’s association with Godwyn the Prince of Death, players have suspected that this mist represents - and even causes - the end of immortality in the Lands Between. However, diving deeper into the lore behind the Duskborn ending makes it clear this is not the whole story behind this mysterious m

Torrent, your horse, initially had a lot of animations and useful actions during early development. As seen in the Network Test, paired with Torrent's actions, the test suggested that he could exist by himself when the player was separate from

When Elden Ring was first announced at E3 2019, FromSoftware gave a cryptic reveal of what would soon become one of their most extraordinary creative and newly popular games. With, at the least, nearly four years of development, there was an incredible amount of love and time put into the making of what has become many Souls fans' favorite g

Skyrim created an RPG that didn't feel linear in any sense and allowed the player to fully explore its areas however they chose to do so. The game has a medieval backdrop setting that is reminiscent of an old holy grail novel. It brings in dragons as one of its key enemies and has a large assortment of other classic creatures for players to encoun

What’s more, the mist being souls explains the few areas in the game where mist exists before the Duskborn ending: the Mistwood and the forest of the Altus Plateau. The Altus Plateau’s woods are directly above where Godwyn is buried, so it would make sense that his curse mark would have infected the area's roots and killed the souls they contained. As for the Mistwood, this is the first area in the game where players have access to the ancient world buried beneath the Lands Between. This ancient world was rejected by Elden Ring Patch notes Ring 's Golden Order , so it would only make sense that their souls were rejected from the Erdtree and thus smothered the Mistwood in

The Immortal Great Serpent convinced Lord Rykard that to achieve immortality and power beyond anything he's ever imagined, he would need to sacrifice his physical form by being devoured by the giant sn
