<br>The Tarnished of **Elden Ring ** have a lot of blood on their hands, even if they try their best to refrain from violence. Certain NPCs' quest lines will force players to kill other characters in the game, such as the Volcano Manor jobs. But in other quest lines, players will have to make game-changing decisions with little information to support the options they are given. And while some of these choices can seem insignificant and even benign, the mistakes a player makes can lead to the horrid deaths of the Tarnished's closest frie<br><br> <br>Although, there are a few chests that still have the Dark Souls texture even after patch 1.03.

However, players who survived the fall would die when they tried to leave the pit because they would run into the kill box. Developers solved this issue in patch 1.03 by giving the kill box the proper range to cover the full floor of the pit.

FromSoftware's fantasy map is immense and structured in a way that is different from not only Skyrim , but nearly every other open-world game. Size isn't the only factor to consider here, however, as the way that the Lands Between encourages exploration and delineates lore is also vastly different in Elden Ring versus Skyrim . Other features, such as art style, encounter design, and atmosphere are additional areas where both games differ, and many will find that there are key ways that Elden Ring 's map is even better than the iconic slice of Tamriel shown in Skyr<br> <br>In some cases, players are not even given the option spare or kill.

Iji, too, dies as a consequence of his own accident, as he thought that trying to hold Blaidd in an Evergaol would be the best way to both protect Ranni and keep Blaidd alive. In both of these instances, the Tarnished has little say in matters of right and wrong because NPCs are either destined to perish or have their own histories to answer <br><br> <br>Initially believed to be an Easter egg, the texture for the Dark Souls chests was removed from most of the Elden Ring chests that had it.

There are shockingly few non-optional areas in Elden Ring , which supports a sense of unbound, unguided exploration. This approach to map design is deepened by just how vertical and condensed the actual topography of the game is. While many open-world games, even some of the most critically acclaimed like Breath of the Wild , will often feature large stretches of empty land, this is not the case in Elden Ring . Many of the game's most important and expansive locations are hidden just out of sight, and players can easily miss entrances to caves, dungeons, and other secret areas by not closely examining each bush, building, and cliffside. This leads to a feeling that anything can happen whilst exploring the Lands Between, whereas a game like Skyrim will typically overtly draw the player's attention to the most important areas, making for a more passive experie<br>
