I'm not new to the Souls games. I've beat Dark Souls Remastered and Bloodborne, and played partially through Dark Souls 2 and 3. However, I got kind of burned out with the series and haven't played it much since. There were a few reasons for this: First, there are a lot more stats than in DS1 and BB and it was difficult to know what to invest in. I also had a problem with the previous games where I was so excited to learn about the different weapons and builds to try once I beat the game that I would end up accidentally end up spoiling parts of the game for myself. That eagerness also caused me to rush through the game a bit so I didn't really enjoy the full experience.
Anyway, I've played a bit of Elden Ring before so I'm not COMPLETELY new. I've beaten the guy with the gold armor and the halberd who rides a horse (don't remember his name). I think I started with the warrior class and used the halberd, which I quite liked. I'm thinking about returning to the game, and I would appreciate if someone could answer some questions and give advice (WITHOUT SPOILERS)

1. What stats should I invest in/prioritize? Obviously health is important, but is there anything I should avoid for a first character (like how resistance is terrible in DS1 or how arcane in BB requires prior knowledge of where the good gems/tools are)?
2. Without getting too spoiler-y: what are some things you wish you had known when starting out this game?
3. Should I use magic, or wait until my second character to make a dedicated build? I like the idea of magic but idk if it's good for my first time.
4. What is a good and fun weapon for my first play through? I liked the halberd but are there any others you would suggest?

Hey I’m 18 years old and from Germany. I’ll try my best not to do any grammar, spelling or pronunciation mistakes haha. I’m here on Reddit to find someone who wants to play with me like a friend. I play The forest, dead island, black ops 3, red dead online, minecraft, back4blood, Elden ring, gtaV and many more. Please someone around my age and who is chill and kind. I hope I’ll meet a nice person.

Hello! I'm Brad, a 25 year old nerdy guy from Florida looking for my twin flame, soul mate, meme queen, you name it.
A little about me: I'm 24, 6'0, caucasian, with dark brown hair and eyes and a short beard. I've been told I'm handsome, attractive, cute, etc. but that's subjective, there are pictures of me in my profile so you can decide yourself. I will say that I do have a preference for girls who are shorter than me, but since that's most girls it's not really important. I am an introvert but I do have a resolution this year to get out more and try new things.
Some things I'm into: Gaming (PC mostly, recently been addicted to Elden Ring, but I play a large variety), music (lot of rap, but I listen to almost anything but country. Just depends on the mood), sports (big fan of the Tampa Bay teams!), rollercoasters, traveling, dark humor, Game of Thrones & House of the Dragon, memes (my phone is like full of them, I will share my collection) and probably way more that I'm not thinking of right now.
Dislikes: Tomatoes, slow drivers, gas prices, people who ghost, and people who either take everything seriously or nothing at all seriously. But my main dislike is people who ghost. Please do not message me if instead of telling someone you aren't interested you ghost them, or your way of getting out of a conversation is to ghost. I'll be straight up with you if I feel that things won't work out, I'm just asking you do the same for me.
Anyways, gonna leave it there. The only hard requirements I ask of you are that you are an afab woman from the United States or surrounding area, preferably in Florida so we can meet up easier. Thank you so much for reading and I look forward to talking to you!!

i need a new pc game to sink a ton of hours into that satisfies the following:

games already played and loved:

• resident evil series
• diablo II & III
• skyrim
• dead space series

thanks everyone

As the title suggests?

Anyone need Marika's Hammer or Albinauric Slayer 9000 l mean Sacred Relic Sword from Elden Remembrance? I don't need either, have the remembrance, and am hoping to help someone out.
Before you say sell the remembrance for runes this character has already hit level 150 and I have no plans to ever leave that level. Nor is the character struggling for runes.

So I’ll just start off by telling you a bit about myself - I’m a very open person and I love socializing - I’m big into video games ofc but I also collect old games and consoles - I do a little coding and pixel art although I’m not very good at either - I write a bit of everything from time to time - I also do tarot ! - I listen to music wayyy too much and I have weird tastes lol - And I’m a open book so feel free to ask questions !
As for games here we go! - Monster hunter series (I would LOVE for someone to show me the ropes of mh as I have access to all of them) - Elden ring (I always use seamless co-op) - risk of rain 1/2 (really looking forward to returns!) - guilty gear strive (I main happy, sin and jack-o) - pavlov vr (very funy) - Vrchat (for chill talking sessions and goofy times) - blazblue central fiction (I forgot 💀) - factorio (I’m stupid) - halo master chief collection (haven’t played in forever but would love to get back into it) - melty blood type lumina (Itz fun) - and that’s pretty much it!
So with all that information said please send me a message and I’ll give you my discord! However please be respectful and nontoxic please and thank you and have a awesome day everyone! Also please give me a introduction first

As title implies, Elden Ring screwed every previous from game retroactively. Jumping, weapons, scaling everything is so good and game changing that now I can't Play Dark souls, Demon Souls nor Bloodborne and I hate that, I'm in pain, the only game I can bare now is Sekiro. Why must the price for greatness be so steep, so harsh, God have mercy on my soul.

On this blessed day, I had the sudden urge to play some Elden Ring. Unfortunately, I realised that I did not actually own the game, so in an effort to fix that (and while taking my non-existant funds into account) I came to this sub asking for help.
Apparently this is a good game or something I'm not really sure, all I heard is that there are "maidens" so I was already sold. I did play Dark Souls and if this game is any similiar then no thank you that was too hard, I don't want that much stress. I am willing to take my chances though.
So yeah, why do I want this game again? That is a very good question which will be left as an exercise to the reader.
P.S: If 10 is too much then one would be enough I guess.
PS2: Here is a poem from a previous request which I didn't wanna waste because in my humble opinion it is of the highest quality:
Oh how I long to play Elden Ring
That beautiful, magnificent, wonderful thing
A world full of awe inspiring scenery
Monsters, dragons and a fair bit of greenery
How I itch at just the mere thought
Of exploring a nook, a corner or a plot
Of a castle, graveyard or etheral plane
Nothing about it is the least bit mundane
But I must stop my constant yearning
And get to the reason why I'm burning
To play this wonderful thing
with a name as elegant as Elden Ring.
Thank you for cooperating, tarnished.

It's a game where you get thing wrong so many times....
But you only have to get it right once!

I've recently switched to DSMap from Yapped Rune Bear, and when I select my Elden Ring exe file to make a new project with, I get an error box stating: "your game executable is not a valid supported game". I downloaded the most recent version of DSMap from GitHub today and I'm trying to get boss summons working as all the Nexus mod versions are out of date with 1.09
