It's fantasy meets mystery meets RPG, and the three genres work in tandem to augment one another.

The Elden Ring has been shattered, and the Greater Will calls the Tarnished back with the guidance of Grace in hopes that they will gather the Great Runes of Power that have been scattered, and make the Elden Ring whole once more to maintain the reign of the Golden Order over the Lands Between.

He refuses to fight back, still shows the Tarnished compassion, and if the player tries to repent their sins in the Church of Vows it will say there's no need for absolution -- implying that, even after being murdered, Miriel has already forgiven the player.

Martin could very well feel that his own Grace was stolen with the trajectory of Game of Thrones .
