yeah, that’s what I was thinking. the book they were adapting was actually an episodic anthology, yet rather than do 1 chapter per episode, They decided a non-linear timeline, without even showing up front that they were doing events out of order, and pointless changes to make it their own, which ironically was just copying themes and tropes from other popular franchises like Game of Thrones.
Speaking of, didn’t George R.R. Martin write for Elden Ring? How much you wanna bet he helps with the film adaptation? The man will do literally anything else except writing the sequels that were supposed to come out a decade ago.
He’s credited, but neither side is really claiming ownership of specific elements. The story and setting of Eldenring is very similar to other Fromsoft titles, and not that similar to George’s work. there is also the complexity of collaborating between a US author and Japanese studio. I would guess George didn’t do all that much for the finished game, though I do sense the character genealogies, and names like Godfrey and Godrick are his touch.
im beyond resigned, I’m actually happy that the story is over. my canon is winter came in the night and obliterated the land, everyone and everything. the ending is a blank page.

Yeah, I dont really care about that franchise anymore. I simply lost interest. And isnt that a faith worse than death? Apathy?
