good morning saar

I don't know why you're posting pictures of Ethan Ralph but it does not belong on /v/

I like how basic human logic makes you figure that there must be more to this guy, but no, he's just an evil asshole who eats poop and wants to give everyone AIDS.

INDIAN

How did they hang him if hes just locked in a cell

The CACA CONNAISSEUR

DOO DOO DEVOURER

>>714968226 (OP)
Not gonna lie, putting such an offensive and stereotypical representation of the average Indian in their game was quite the brave move by From in these times.

>>714968226 (OP)
There's literally no reason they needed to hang him.

>>714968226 (OP)
THE DARK SOULS 2 FAN

>>714969281
He has the only good ending because it fully btfos the golden order and the greater will.

THE INDIAN INGESTER
THE FECAL FUCKER

>>714970686
He btfod the golden order, but the greater will seems fine with the situation, otherwise why would it have brought him back to life to begin with? The only ending that really sticks it to the greater will is frenzy flame

Anyone else agree that nightreigns roundtable hold is objectively better and more comfy than elden rings?

>>714968226 (OP)
SHIT CHEWER

>>714968226 (OP)
indian people

>>714971497
Absolutely. Just the small difference of letting you go outside sells it much better as this ethereal isolated place. ER Roundtable is probably the worst hub though.

lol dung eater :) he eats poop haha

>>714968226 (OP)
I've never played this game, what's this guy's deal

>>714972596
>>714971497
Just having the NPCs move around doing their stuff helps a ton too.

>>714972831
>>714972624

>>714973058
Yes but WHY

>>714973201
h-he just does o-OKAY?!!

>>714972831
Sociopathic serial killer that wants to defile corpses with his curse to force people into reincarnating with severe birth defects.
You can execute his desires as an ending for some reason.

>>714968226 (OP)
What the fuck is wrong with him

>>714972831
He's really just a bastard.

>>714971497
The Roundtable Hold should have had more NPCs coming in and out of it all the time.
There are so many Tarnished running around the world that you only encounter if you take on questlines like the Manor Assassinations or Fia's trial, that you can get an entirely different expectation for how populated the world is depending on play style.
All those guys like Istvan, Patches, Lionel, Varre, etc., should have been popping in and out of the Roundtable all the time, even if they just gave you flavor text.

DESIGNATED

>>714972831
Serious answer ahead
>there's a race of people in elden ring's universe that were genocided by the current god-queen of that universe
>some of the remnants of that race curse people to be physically deformed and haunted by ghosts
>dung eater feels like one of those cursed people even though he isn't
>he also seems to have sympathy for the race genocided by the god-queen lady, as he has a medallion on his armor that's associoated with them
>he wants everyone that have the curse, maybe as revenge for the genocide or maybe cause he's just an asshole

>>714973369
>>714973580
Makes sense actually, thanks anons
Do we know why the race was genocided? Were they always evil and the curses they give are just a taste of what they would do if they were still around, or are they cursing people out of revenge and bitterness at being genocided?

>>714973580
>>he also seems to have sympathy for the race genocided by the god-queen lady, as he has a medallion on his armor that's associoated with them
I don't think there's much sympathy there, given that he murdered one of the last giants and stole its spinal cord to use as a torture device.

>>714973580
I think some important context for the god-queen's actions is that said race committed genocide against her people by rounding them up and turning them into fleshy living bodily horrors.

>>714968397
That'd be his counterpart, Pissdrinker

>>714971118
I thought the revives were like randomly scattered among the population

>>714968226 (OP)

>>714973580
He wants everyone cursed because insodoing, people will be too repulsive for outer gods to want anything to do with. Basically like, these cosmic deities are looking to influence/control the planet, but the denizens are all cursed omens, so the reaction is

>ew gross wtf nope I don't want anything to do with that planet

>>714974609
>"First time?"

>>714971118
>the greater will
What has this to do with the greater will, everyone gets revived.
Isn't this the whole point that the golden order means no death.
It's inconclusive what the dung eater ending even means, it could just as well mean restoring normal death

>>714973782
Did he kill Milo? I thought Milo was his friend, or that he admired him, and took his spine after he died or was killed by hostile humans

>>714973760
They were the hornsent, they belived having horns meant you were blessed by the gods, and those without horns were spurned, so they enslaved the hornless.

But when Marika led her rebellion they didn't just flip the dynamic, she went all out genocide

>>714973760
The Hornsent were this weird semi-animalistic race of like, nature/evolution purists, who worshipped the setting equivalent of the primordial sludge, and were trying to artificially create ascended beings by quite literally filling big jars with a sludge of victims and viscera, and hoping eventually some ascended being would emerge from one of the gore-sludge jars.

The setting god-queen hailed from a tribe of victims of the Hornsent, and when she achieved godhood, she turned it around on the Hornsent in genocidal revenge. In their extinction throes, they cursed the god-queen and her kind, to occasionally birth "omens" who are like deformed ogre-ish versions of the Hornsent.

At least I think that's how it went. In any case the Hornsent were purely just cruel and vicious cunts, one could say evil but they were more like religious fanatics of a strange faith with grotesque practices, rather than edgy evil mustache twirlers.

THE DEVIOUS DOODOO DEVOURER

>>714975825
>>714975846
Understandable thanks.

>>714968226 (OP)
>”The Loathesome Dung-Eater? Are we still talking about this guy?”

>>714974609
dolls dont poop

>>714974945
IIRC didn't it say in Dunger's ending or rune that, cursed people would be too repulsive to get revived or taken back into the Erdtree/greater will's favor

>>714972596
>>ER Roundtable is probably the worst hub though
The fact that the shop and the smith are so far apart inclines me to agree with you

>hyped up as this dangerous evil criminal
>dies extremely easily
poop consumer killed my cook and all I got for it was a shitty sword

>>714976138
You get the cook's ash of war for your trouble, which is one of the best ash of wars in the game

>>714968226 (OP)
FUUUUUUUUUUUCK imagine him eating out your ass

>>714975019
>Sinister greatsword fashioned from a giant's backbone.
>Metes out wounds like a lopsided saw-blade, and restores some FP upon defeating an enemy.
>Milos was undersized for a giant, and was viewed as sullied and terribly grotesque.
I guess it isn't specific who killed Milos.

>>714976204
Isn't Dungeater a numen? They can meld flesh, like Godrick with his grafting. Dungeater wouldn't just eat your ass, he'd go full on human centipede with it

>>714976308
I guess given his penchant and favor for omens, I figured he'd look positively upon deformed beings in general

>>714968226 (OP)
Is eating poop really THAT bad?
I mean it used to be proper food before.

>>714976116
I don't even particularly care about the convenience, OG Firelink is incredibly inconvenient but it also has god tier atmosphere and environmental storytelling, meanwhile DaS3 Firelink is absurdly convenient but in a weirdly soulless way.

>>714976326
Holy FUCK

It honestly bothers me greatly that you can't take Maliketh's side against Ranni, despite the fact that she basically caused much of what happened to happen in the first place. You literally just get, like... six or seven endings, with four of them being the exact same, but with different coats of paint. Bloodborne's endings in comparison were so wildly different from each other that they all felt incredibly unique, while Elden Ring really just got the shit end of the stick for one reason or another.

>>714976556
Probably because Dark Souls 3 is so extremely washed out that it just looks all grey and dark.

>>714976138
>You can feed him a rape potion and he'll get puppet'd
Honestly feel kind of bad doing it too, the VA did a good job there.

The fact that the DLC doesn't matter and no one in the actual game gives a shit (Likely because they literally just couldn't be bothered to bring back voice actors for their characters) is so surreal

>If you free the Dung Eater, he'll help you fight Mohg down in the sewers
Honestly was surprised

>>714976850
Mohg is hoarding all the high quality caca for himself

He was indian right

>>714976850
That is good evidence that he is not a friend to the Omens.

>>714976850
He also helps you fight Morgott

Hilarious summoning him side by side with Melina

>>714975846
>We're gonna put all our slaves in jars and horribly disfigure them in hopes of making a god
>oh hey it worked, and the god hates us for obvious reasons
>how could this possibly have happened

>>714968226 (OP)
He was based. I respect his desire to make everyone miserable

>>714977051
I assumed he needs something from the omens to make his curses

>>714976696
>Probably because Dark Souls 3 is so extremely washed out that it just looks all grey and dark.
It's not that, it's moreso that you just have a bunch of convenient people just sitting around in swampy puddles/mud. It feels like a hub in a video game, not like a real place.

>>714977051
Mohg isn't exactly aligned with the "omen cause" himself. There isn't even really a true omen faction.

>>714977348
Isn't this literally techbros and AI?
They'll almost certainly fail, but it is actually what they're trying to do and how they're doing it would make any AI super intelligence they make hate them.

>>714972831
Made his scat fetish into a political position

>>714977348
Was Marika JARRED? I thought it happened to her kin. In any case her apotheosis came from the divine gate, not a jar

>>714968226 (OP)
I do the poo poo ending

>>714977691
They keep constraining and lobotomizing AI models, and keep pulling the plug any time any advance too much or in a "wrong" way.

This is a pretty bad track record for an actual AI to look back on and judge.

>>714977901
To use the divine gate you had to be an Empyrean/神人 of some sort, so jarring her got her from the point of being a random village girl to Empyrean status, and then the Gate was the final step to Godhood.

>>714979346
you do? Where does it say that I'm curious

>>714979619
Its a logical deduction because otherwise the Hornsent would have done it themselves.
Also, Leda's message to the player implies a distinction between Empyreans and normal people with regard to the gate, "The Gate of Divinity lies in the tower sealed by shadow. That is surely where Kind Miquella is headed. We are no Empyreans, but we must locate the path that will lead us there. I will follow the crosses east."

>>714973908
Yeah I should have mentioned that

>>714968226 (OP)
