I'm not joking

You can

It doesn't matter, it's very advantageous, and near game changing in many situations

See why I love Elden Ring. It regularly filters retarded tourists that can't play RPGs and never played Souls games with anything more than the most basic mechanic utilization.
The crafting system of Elden Ring is excellent and opens fantastic rewards, and the game rightfully kicks you in the balls for not using it. This is based and redpilled and Elden Ring making you mad is a sign of how great the game is.

Elden Ring open world is also excellent because unlike most open worlds, it's progression is driven by such rewards and you aim for tools and elements that can expand how you play. It's ARPG fan heaven
