<br>Witcher 3 manages to balance having a multitude of side quests while also having a central storyline focused around finding Ciri, and the implications surrounding her power and role in the world.

Getting through the game's main quest-line is itself a massive satisfaction, and once it's over, gamers wish they could replay it again for the first t<br><br> <br>Indeed, Ranni shares a lot with the Nox people. The Nox strangely have a great admiration for the stars despite living deep beneath the ground. However, this affinity makes sense when visiting either Nokron of Nokstella, as their false skies glitter with stars. Even the large, scorpion-skeleton hybrid creatures who use Gravity Sorceries in these locations are called "Malformed Stars." This calls to Ranni's goal in creating an Age of Stars in which the Greater Will is replaced with the Dark Moon and the Outer Gods are kept away from the Lands Between. Thus, stars play an important role in both Ranni's and Nox's mission, which are already similar in their <br><br> <br>But the most significant connection between Ranni and the Nox is the Dark Moon. The Moon of Nokstella talisman explains that the Nox worshipped this moon because it guided the stars. Ranni's unique spell Ranni's Dark Moon explains that she discovered this sorcery as young child and that it was " cold, dark and veiled in occult mystery ." This occult mystery is likely related to the Nox people and their Eternal Cities, as they were sealed away beneath the ground long ago. Thus, the Moon of Nokstella and the Dark Moon are likely one in the same, and Ranni's Age of Stars ending to Elden Ring is likely what the Nox would have done if they successfully defeated the Golden Or<br><br> <br>Pathologic 2 is not a fun game to play, but it is an easy one to recommend. The article and video linked above both go into great detail about why the original Pathologic is so fondly remembered by many of those who played it, at least those who could survive Day 2 without starving , but I can now say from experience Pathologic 2 is better both visually and mechanically, and no one needs to play the original to get something of value out of it. It is one of the best examples of video games as an art form that I've played in years, and anyone who is remotely interested in open world titles, immersive sims, the concept of right and wrong, or even why people play games in the first place should check it out. It is, however, an oppressive adventure, and one which doesn't offer anything resembling the power fantasy most players have come to expect from open world ga<br><br> <br>I've beaten Elden Ring two-and-a-half times now (set the Erdtree on Fire on NG++ and haven't returned since) and I'm on my second run of Pathologic 2 . For me it's Day Four again, but I'm also now forcing my friend to play the game on our own personal YouTube channel Filthy & Free Publishing _ and we are just at the beginning of Day Two. I don't know how many times I will continue to play and replay either _Pathologic 2 or Elden Ring , but I do know that trying out these CBD products got me through sections of both I may not have made it through without them. Whether that is because of their effects or not is unclear, but I had them and I tried them and that action had its own hand in me playing, beating, and loving these ga<br><br> <br>Perhaps the strangest creatures in Elden Ring are the Living Jars – ambulatory ceramic vessels of varying size and stone-like limbs, stuffed to the brim with corpses sealed under a lid of wax. The first Living Jar players can encounter, stuck in a pit in the Limgrave area, is <a href="https://Www.eldenringpulse.com/articles/conquering-fulghor-the-ultimate-guide-to-elden-ring-nightreign-s-most-fearsome-nightlord.html">Elden Ring Nightreign Fulghor</a> Ring 's gregarious Iron Fist Alexander , who pits himself against different challenges in foes in the hopes of becoming a true warrior. After joining forces with the player to defeat the Starscourge Radahn boss and stuffing himself with the corpses of warriors from an old battlefield, Iron Fist Alexander can be found bathing in a lake of lava in Mr. Gelmir, and will gift the player with a literal Jar to wear as a helmet (this jar helmet happens to be the signature headgear of the legendary Malenia-slaying Elden Ring co-op player called "Let Me Solo He<br>
