The land between is a weird place

When you take the time to look at it, elden ring world is exceptionally bizarre, even by fantasy standards. The giant tree illuminating the sky day and night is kind of obvious, but its also a world where spontaneous generations is canon, a world where the stars are living monstrosities and immortality is the norm. But the strangest part of all is that this land doesn'tt even feel natural. Everywhere you look, there are there giant stones pillars holding the edges of continents, the water in the distance show these peculiar dips, as if the land between was elevated above the rest of the ocean. If we ever go into space during the DLC, i wouldn't be surprise if we see that the land between isnt even a planet but instead a flat disc carried by some kind of massive creature.

I wonder how many missions it takes on average for a new armored core player to go "wait... are we the baddies?"

I've noticed that Elden ring may be one of the first game where i was really invested in doing a faith build. I think the main reason for that is that in most fantasy game, Fromsoft included, the clerics aesthetic and story kind of just consist on generic light themes and off-brand Christianity which isn't very compelling to me. Elden Ring through gave me a set of religions that were a lot more compelling to learn about. There is already a lot to like about the Golden Order and its heavy tree aesthetic and complex history, but we also have the flame cultist of the fell god, and if you dont mind dabbling into arcane, the blood dynasty of Mogh, the heretical recusants who rebelled against the erdtree and even the followers of the frenzied flame are all options you can take. There a flavor of faith for every kind of people. It's also notable that the DLC expanded options further by including the fire knights of Mesmers and the hornsents with their crucible-themed holy magic. The latter is particularly interesting as both the hornsent and golden order using the holy element create a peculiar connection between them. Despite being enemies, the two religions seem to be very alike and may even have been united at some point.

Those are the kind of question that got me invested into faith builds in elden ring in the first place.

imagine going to a house party and ask to go to the bathroom and like theres a dark souls silver knight guarding a chest in there. and like you ask him to not look but he doesn’t respond at all. He’s not like agro, or staring at you with intent, but he’s FULLY aware of your presence and watching you like you intend to steal
