My first thought: I love the stories in Elden Ring, there's so many, so much history written into the art. But between constantly getting mollywopped and it being kind of trickle fed, I lose the story(ies). There are a handful of channels that go indepth on the stories, the legend, the history and "archeology" of The Lands Between.
There's a lot of intention and love put into Elden Ring, but do to sucking at video games, sometimes it's easier to enjoy the stories through other avenues.

I beat elden ring and the expansion.

it took me 200 hours. it took me 6+ months and a few holiday breaks to do it.

most games are like 1/10 of that length. game is crazy massive and long and detailed. and id' probably have to sink 500h+ to get all the details and endings and experience the various play styles.

It took me a long time in the first play through. Mainly because I just stopped for a few months after beating my head against the wall that is Melania.
