<br>**Elden Ring ** and FromSoftware may have given George R.R. Martin the chance to vent his feelings about Game of Thrones season 8 in a creative world, and those feelings may be found in various aspects of the Lands Between and Elden Ring lore . It couldn't have been easy for Martin to weather the backlash that came from Game of Thrones' final season. Luckily, he was able to write a new history, that of the Lands Between, through his work on Elden Ri<br><br> <br>Despite this, the two have been brought together through Elden Ring 's messaging system in a way that is oddly fitting. There are Elden Ring messages referencing Metal Gear Solid 's stealth mechanics, which may be the most obvious, but the references don't end there. There are also notes that poke fun at the iconic way MGS allies like Colonel Roy Campbell will yell out Snake's name upon death. Perhaps the best Metal Gear Solid inside joke, however, is a direct reference to the iconic ladder-climbing scene from Metal Gear Solid 3 , which serves as a tranquil moment of reflection near the end of the game. In Elden Ring , this moment has been translated to the joke message " visions of Snake " that appears near several of the game's ladders. These many Metal Gear Solid references are some of the most clever in Elden Ring , and their endearing nature serves as an extra bonus for Metal Gear Solid f<br><br> <br><img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Db7q6xAK1Wo/hq720.jpg"; style="max-width:400px;float:left;padding:10px 10px 10px 0px;border:0px;" alt="Long fall - Dragon's Pit and The Ruined Forge Lava Intake - Elden Ring DLC ep13 #eldenring" />Coastal Cave is an area hinted at by two characters.

Given the number of endings in Elden Ring , however, Martin could have had conflicting feelings about going into the project, unsure what the outcome would be for both himself and the game. He could have been searching for a way to start a new age of writing, much like Ranni's Elden Ring Age of Stars Ending starts a new age for the Lands Between, instead of looking to reclaim the glory lost with the downfall of Game of Thron<br><br> <br>Though Elden Ring can suffer from reusing certain bosses too often, the game has an incredible list of enemies.

A clear reference to Epic Games' best-selling battle royale Fortnite , this message can be found lying in and around the game's many fortresses and castles. These Fortnite messages keep appearing in Elden Ring despite their already-immense popularity, and while they may be good for a chuckle or two the first couple of times, it's likely that players will grow sick of them as they continue to pop up time and time ag<br><br> <br>Robbed of the Greater Will's Grace, Elden Ring 's Godfrey became the first Tarnished, exiled from the Lands Between and told to struggle, fight, and grow stronger before they return. In a way, Godfrey's journey mimics Martin's journey as a writer. Godfrey was a strong warrior before catching Marika's attention, as Martin was a talented writer before Game of Thrones caught HBO's attention. As Godfrey was risen to the position of Elden Lord, Martin, too, was put on a pedestal as the world fell in love with Game of Thrones . Godfrey was a tool for Marika, somebody that she could use to advance her own goals, and it could be argued that Martin became a tool for HBO, having to entrust the unfinished material of his final book to the showrunners because the show was made faster than he could write the final b<br>
