Eldenring was as bad if not worse with copy paste. The NPCs were certainly better in Skyrim.
Dunno why you’re getting downvoted. The game is awesome, great lore and story, great combat, great enemy design and much more. However, while the first ulcerated tree spirit is kinda cool. The 10th, isn’t as much.
How many ulcerated free spirits do you need to fight to beat the game?
big fat zero
That’s what I thought.
It’s funny that people are complaining about completely optional content now.
Those optional tree spirits guard modifiers for your one off special effects flask, which is a pretty big deal for the game and not a mechanic you want to optionally leave behind.
Not to mention, you dont know what modifier the tree has until its dead, so without googling everything you cant skip trees whose drops you dont want.
Something like 80% of elden ring is optional content. If youre only allowed to be frustrated or annoyed by main plot progression content, youve basically asked for people to not talk about the game.
Seems like a pretty supid line in the sand to draw
