SEXOOOOOO

Marika is "Woman moment": The Character and y'all retarded for simping her.

I never played ER. Soulslop games have love interests now?

>>717011321
No

>>717011321
No.
Also Marika used to be a man

>>717006926 (OP)
>Canon love interested
Next time make sure to use the correct picrel

>>717011321
The OP is misusing a word for a purpose most of us can understand. Marika does not love you. She does not care about you, not personally. You are her consort, which means you are expected to mount her, cum inside her, and she will bare children.

You could make a blithe statement that “consort does not mean you have sex” and I think that’s wrong. It’s one of the sole requirements of being a consort, you are the husband or wife of a ruler. You can argue it doesn’t mean that because the game doesn’t explicitly show sex or sexual implication, but that’s dumb because the game is not about sex or sexual implication. Its an implication you’re supposed to know was avoided to retain the tone, same with Minotaurs in Oblivion not having big floppy cocks.

>>717010874
Marika is literally dead. There is zero indication that she's alive. She's just an empty broken vessel of the Elden Ring. I mean technically you can still fuck that though, I'm not gonna stop you

>>717011321
>now
Are you forgetting Anri from Dark Souls 3?

>>717014796
The Tarnished speaks all the time. His dialogue simply isn't voiced. He's like a VN protagonist

>>717006926 (OP)
The Queen is the best woman character he ever made. Siegward still has the top spot though.

>>717011321
Yeah Elden Ring has an elaborate questline that ends with you giving the Blue Woman a ring and becoming her "consort" when she ascends to godhood.

>>717015469
>"Why does my sister always cuck me..."

>>717015469
That second part is gold. Captured the facial expression perfectly.

>>717015170
I did forget Anri actually, but given she's dead when you "marry" her I don't think she counts anyway.

>>717015621
Marika is dead when you marry her too. I'm starting to see a pattern

Reminder that this is canon and why Ranni did what she did

>>717015078
She's glowing with grace on the inside.
She's alive and will probably revive with time.
Marika's plan succeeded.

>>717015946
just two more weeks Marikabros

>>717015469
deserved for being a bitch with almost no dialogue and seethes at you when you save her

>>717015946
She's "alive" in the same way the Emperor from 40k is "alive". Technically alive enough to channel godlike magical energy, but functionally braindead. Her reviving with time is pure headcanon but there's nothing to contradict that either. I just think it thematically makes more sense that Marika essentially sacrificed herself by shattering the Elden Ring and by extension herself

>>717015946
>plan

She's an unga bunga str/faith while Radagon was the brains with the int/faith

>>717016661

Imagine, realizing she essentially forged the world for someone like you. You got rid of all her problems, all major issues, you came to fix everything, and a possible chance at being with her and find out she's fucking dead and broken.

>>717016780
>you get to be the supreme god of the world without being beholden to anyone and having a histrionic bitchy wife nagging you for all of eternity

You marry Ranni at the end.

Actually the canonical ending is getting kissed by Miquella

>>717016919
Some blonde strumpet

>>717016919
You cuck her for chad Goldmask's ending.

>>717016901

Miquella created himself the perfect consort. You will never measure up.

>>717017240
The actual status of the Elden Ring world is extremely unclear. Places like Leyndell and Stormveil seem like functioning organized military communities. Not just places overrun with mindless monsters

>>717015469
>>717015469
Ranni is a doll and doesn't genuinely love you either. She like other destructive demigods were using you to get what they wanted and the marriage part is artificial. We get no one in the end making it a lonely experience other than to burn the world up and kill the remaining atrocities left and purify the world.

>>717017657
Men are capable of being capable leaders. Women aren't

>>717017787
There's no man in the world who would turn down having a big dick, but generally it's most agreeable for the bottom to have a smallER cock than the top to enforce their roles. So it's more about relativity than a set size

>>717017657
All of the people you listed committed their atrocities as a result of Marika's decree, except for Miquella who is honorary female anyway.

>>717006926 (OP)
Let's up those numbers.

>>717006926 (OP)
Why is she so big?

She is big to save up all the semen her consorts will give

>>717010874
Consort means something entirely different in Elden Ring you braindead faggot, or else Mohg is smashing Miquella

>>717022541
>or else Mohg is smashing Miquella
He literally says he's going to create a new dynasty with him. Explicitly meaning he's gonna fuck him (and Miquella is somehow gonna get pregnant from it)

>>717022541
Considering the game says he shared his bed chamber with him but got no response. Yeah he was fucking him. Also the story and lore is written by fat martin. Mister incest.

>>717016462
Calling her your love interest, which is a quibble but worth saying since that’s the confusion being generated. The consort impregnates or is impregnated. They’re a breeder with fancy political importance. Marika might not find any reason to hold a conversation with you over, say, her or your hobbies, but when the time comes she’ll lay back and tell you to pump her full of babies.

>>717011321
No. And don't be tricked by soulfags their dishonest shitty memes. I played Elden Ring just to discover the sexy blonde woman is a literal disgusting fucking corpse that also turns into a man. It almost made me hate all souls game retroactively.

>>717023463
It's Souls, you dumb nigger. Everything is dark and morbid. Of course it practically parodies the RPG romance side quest trope by having you marry a fucking corpse. They already did it 9 years ago with Anri in DS3
>NOOOO, RULE34.XXX LIED TO ME

MARIKA SEXO

>>717023463
I never find Marika hot in game but the way they pulled Melina's rug off by having her be a more hollowed out character than a typical level up was my calling to quit these games like a bad habit. Ranni isn't a good replacement seeing that she's a tranny doll who committed war crimes and a blatant writer's pet.

>>717012336

>Soulfags spam dishonest fanart of sexy blonde woman

Eat shit, stupid drone.
>>717024270
Yeah, this and that many of the character you try to help up in the game end up dying or going crazy and attacking you was a wake up call. No way this shitty writing would fly in any other franchise.

>>717022013
miquella is the worst example of a faggot
being a dude while making shitty female behaviors

I wish fan artists latched onto better games with better character models and personalities. They always soiface at Jap crap regardless of quality of the game. It always has to be out of character shit or comics for characters who say virtually nothing.

wife Malenia?

>>717023463
Marika is basically like a million dead people all Grafted into one body, she didn't "used to be a man", she just ungrafted one and sent him to go btfo the giants, let him get powerful and politically useful, bought him back to the capitol and banged him for a while, then re-vored him when he wasn't needed.
Except he was strong enough now to not just re-merge with Marika and could fight for control of the body, (which, by the way, could be male or female or tree or stone or giant monster at will because it's basically a perfected mimic tear made of millions of dead people, not a normal human body)

>>717017648
Ranni is a demigod inhabiting a doll. She initially doesn't think much of you, but she falls in love after you go through her quest, and she's relieved she can take on her journey with someone she loves.

>>717024862
Fromsoft games have always been guilty of this. Gwynevere in Dark Souls 1 is literally just her tranny brother catfishing you, not the real one. The Fool's Idol is an illusion cast by an ugly man, not the real one. They're almost explicitly designed to be anti-R34 lore-wise. You can complain about that, but I'm just saying it's always been a thing and saying Marika retroactively ruins the franchise for you outs you as a newfag tourist

>>717018343

>>717006926 (OP)
Was an entire dlc really required to confirm she's canonically whore who fucks so much, the worst most evil curse they can inflict upon her is messing up her womb so she can't fuck as much, only for her to ignore this curse and keep fucking?

>>717028731
R34 Marika is one of the biggest psyops I've ever seen in porn. She's literally an OC created by the community. Like Ankha Zone or Love Taste Chica

>>717029027
The DLC was more about giving her backstory and why she's such a genocidal bitch

>>717029027
She got cursed children before her womb was cursed so it doesn't really change much.

>>717029084
it's "collaborative lore"

>>717028192
Maybe she'll get a good ending this time in the movie

ER troons are desperate for non-shit waifus even though DaS already has plenty.

>>717027942
Or maybe I was just ok with it thinking it was them trying to be whimsical or whatever. But now that they do this shit routinely because they're stupid and don't understand what's the appeal of a fantasy game, I may as well drop them and start investing my time in other things. I won't forget that their dishonest fanbase and their super dumb writers go around selling this game like
>LOOK YOU CAN BECOME THE SHIT LORD
But you never do that, you become the CONSORT of a fucking CORPSE. Fuck this shit game.

>>717028382
She betrays so many who were thought to be close to her and goes as far as to kill her own family member to end the world. What makes you think her meaningless drivel means anything outside her bloodthirsty betraying actions?

>>717032258
They sure as fuck don't cater to your kind.
Your kind needs to be wiped out like the hornsent.

never gave a shit about this game but I obsessively download all her r34 in existence

>>717032321
There's no gooner content in these games besides maybe the illusion which is a tranny psy ops. Real Marika is too manly looking and off putting for most gooner incels.

>>717032235
True.

Marika was a reaction to a barbaric Patriarchal society.

>gooner content
Go back to plebbit for the love of god.
The fact that "gooner" is part of your vernacular tells me you're part of the problem.

>>717011263
Marika's problem is that she lacked a strong male figure who was willing to dick her until her mind was vacated of any notions of pulling another woman moment.

I can't speak for other anons, but I'm referring to a specific Marika model that everyone uses. It doesn't look like her facially at all. It literally looks like a random unrelated white woman cosplaying as Marika. That's not a problem with, say, Melina or Ranni, because porn modelers simply reuse their faces from the game

Huh? The canon love interest is Ranni, I'm pretty sure. You can literally marry her.

She's busted up face wise and has no woman parts. Also, she is a back stabber and fake like her body.

this

it's hard to get love as a guy either if you're a bottom feeder simp or a Chad so having a female character that simply gives you love and affection is all it takes for people to love a female character

Ranni was just a clone of her mother and hated Radagon's religion.
Rykard also became a blasphemer.

>>717040921
>Radahn liked Godfrey more than his dad.
He specifically liked them both. Redmane honors both Godfrey for the lion part and Radagon for the red. And it was because he idealized the role of Elden Lord more than anything. War and shit.
>Ranni was just a clone of her mother and hated Radagon's religion.
That's fair. Ranni and Malenia are the only children not specifically shown to like Radagon. They're also the only daughters, so daddy issues probably.
>Rykard also became a blasphemer.
So? Mogh also became a blood cultist. Can't really blame the parent for what their grown ass kids do once they go to die outside the kingdom, or become a statue in a tree.

>>717040921
Radagon hated that he had to be subservient to the whims of Marika, but he loved Rennala even after being recalled to Leyndell, which is why he had the Golden Order Greatsword commissioned, a sword modeled to look like the sword Rennala gifted him when they married.

Imagine choking on her massive cock while she punches you in the stomach

>>717041375
So Radagon is not actually Marika? We can put the tranny hermaphrodite bullshit to bed? I've heard different theories about the guy.
Some even think his body is actually Godwyn's being posessed by Marika for some fucked up reason.

>>717040921
When Radagon left his wife, she went from the biggest threat to his kingdom to a mindbroken husk. When Godfrey left his wife, she jumped to the first strong warrior she saw without a second thought.
I'm not making any statements about who's dick game is stronger, but the evidence speaks for itself.

>>717033178
Cope

>>717041820
Radagon is Marika. They inhabit the same body which morphs between the two. However they're both different identities (though marika wanted to stop that and merge them so she was top dog)

>>717041820
He's from Marika, just like Blaidd is from Ranni.

Why does Messmer have red hair like Radagon if he's the son of Marika and Godfrey, who both do not have red hair?
Make it make sense.

>>717042110

isn't that Maliketh?

>>717042249
Where does it say he's the son of godfrey?

>>717042091
>>717042110
Radagon is NOT Marika
they were forced to merge together to keep Marika in check because Marika wanted to break free from the Greater Will and Radagon was a Fundamentalist of the Faith

>>717041820
Radagon is probably to Marika as St. Trina is to Miquella.
St. Trina was Miquella's love, his heart, and compassion. Even if that was a toxic compassion.
Radagon was Marika's loyalty to the system. Her gratitude towards the Fingers. Her desire to keep the world as it was.

Most likely the issue was that when she sent him off to Caria, he developed too much of his own identity and she changed too much on her own, this is probably when she was forced to divorce Godfrey, that they could no longer merge back together.
Marika had become totally disillusioned with the Golden Order, Radagon had become focused on learning more and more about it so he could become complete unto himself.

>>717041820
To me, it's quite clear that Radagon is a part that Marika expelled, a trait so great it became its own identity (possibly, her capacity for love). This is further corroborated by the DLC where Miquella expels St Trina (his love, along with other traits he didn't desire inside himself).

>>717042726
So in this universe if you're a powerful enough
broad you can just split your consciousness into one that physically has a dick and it can go around and fuck.
What did Miyazaki mean by this?

>>717042110
Blaidd was given to Ranni by the Fingers, she's never said to have split off. Same as how Maliketh was given to Marika.

>>717041820
I think the dlc's St. Trina's storyline was there to kinda answer the Radagon/Marika mystery.
The thing that would make for the most poignant storyline, would be that once Marika decided to betray the hornsent and enact her revenge, she discarded the part of her that could feel love, compassion, etc. leaving her the cunning, spiteful being we know her as. Radagon either became that part or was that part from the start, as we can see Radagon exhibit those traits Marika lacks.

>>717042249
The entire Realm of Shadow stuff is really weird, timeline-wise.
Messmer has red hair and knows what a Tarnished is, so he's post-Godfrey. But he's also clearly not Godfrey's son. So he's probably Radagon's son, but he's older than Radahn. Which means that he was born before Radagon married Rennala.
So when Marika created Radagon, she must have also conceived children with him immediately afterwards. Then the Carian Wars must have lasted a long time.

If you think that Melina is the Gloam Eyed Queen, the Demigod that fought with Marika and tried to kill the Gods before being slain by Maliketh, that makes things way weirder again.

But the entire Land of Shadow is weird in general.
Why is Godwyn's Deathblight in there? Why are there zombies all over the place?
Does that mean that zombies are actually older than Deathblight and Godwyn's death? The Gravebirds certainly seem older than Godwyn and the stuff we find in Charo's Hidden Grave all seems to reference zombies far before Godwyn should have died.

>>717043271
I haven't found many zombies in the DLC yet but I did find the deathblight in a catacombs dungeon and a shitload of roaming pissed kvetching hornsent ghosts everywhere.

>>717041820
>Some even think his body is actually Godwyn's being posessed by Marika for some fucked up reason.
Who fucking thinks that? We literally see Godwyn's body in the game as well as Radagon's body.

For me, its Miquella

>>717043694
Idiots.

>>717043271
>Why is Godwyn's Deathblight in there?
Because all manners of Death arrive in the Land of Shadows.
Why are there zombies all over the place?
>Does that mean that zombies are actually older than Deathblight and Godwyn's death? The Gravebirds certainly seem older than Godwyn and the stuff we find in Charo's Hidden Grave all seems to reference zombies far before Godwyn should have died.
Assuming you mean the reanimating skeletons, the phenomenon of TWLID is older than Godwyn, since collecting and guiding dead souls was once the job of Deathbirds and Tibia Mariners respectively. With the GO and removal of Destined Death, the passing of souls was handled by burying the dead near the Erdtree's sprawling roots so that their spirits could reincarnate. Godwyin's Deathroot, being a corrupted root of the Erdtree, allows spirits to possess their own bodies again and rise as TWLID.

>>717042563
Wrong and retarded.
Radagon IS Marika, that's both told to the player in no uncertain terms and is pivotal to one of the endings.
Now, to be clear, Radagon is specifically an aspect of Marika. He came from Marika, but he is not Marika in some sort of shapeshifted form or disguise. But this whole "uhhh axcually Radagon was a foreign entity that got shoved into Marika somehow" is pure fanon cope.

>>717045110
No, that's still a guy.
Not into that.

Since this is apparently a lore thread, can I just bring up how much this faggot disgusts me. Of all the horrible, rancid motherfuckers in Elden Ring, this motherfucker is just on an entirely different level.
It'd be one thing if the guy was just a pussy, I can get past that easily, but he's specifically a pussy with no integrity. The fucker has a childhood friend tomboy gf and he finds her murdered, and then he decides to fucking join the faction that murdered her because they appealed to his ego? It's not even that he joined the snakefuckers, fuck the erdtree and all that, but the fact that he did so despite knowing what they did to his tomboy childhood friend. Fuck this guy, I kill him every run to spare myself his fucking faggotry.

The shapeshifter bullshit is just genderbent fetish niggers. The game has a lot of alchemy themes and the gods/demigods have shown their forms are malleable enough to pull out like clay. Miquella did it St. Trina along with removing other parts of him as well. Marika would have no problem doing it herself to make Radagon

>>717045328
Marika literally says You Are Not Yet Me
and Radagon's red hair comes from him being descendant of giants

>>717046335

Wrong, wrong. Wrong. Radagon is canonically Miriel, the space turtle pope. It’s obvious as he basically tells you things no one would ever know about Radagon and Marika.

His low self esteem. Diallos gave up his revenge not because they stroked his ego but because he knew he couldn't do shit. What can he hope to do to a Crucible Knight who fought alonside Godfrey himself or a seasoned veteran like Bernhal? After volcano manor he comes clean and picks a different path.

No, he makes it pretty clear that he was convinced by their honeyed words. Even if what you said was true, it'd still make him an honorless coward that did nothing to avenge his girl and would eventually die failing to defend the place he decides to hide away to after the Manor implodes.

My interpretation of the ending is that she's only alive to the extent that she's still capable of fulfilling her function as the Godess in the system with 1% copium "we can rebuild her we have the technology"
Her body gets destroyed entirely in the Ranni/Frenzy endings so she's unambiguously dead dead in those

>>717056378
Marika was cursed. From the start she was cursed by the Hornsent.
But her kids are impressive.
Godwyn beat the dragons and mastered lightning magic.
Morgott earned his place as the king of Leyndell and held back Rykard's army and defeated Radahn in battle.
Mohg is himself very powerful and the chosen agent of an outer god.
Malenia is the strongest living creature by the time of the game, and was only matched by Radahn after marching across the entire world to fight him.
Miquella is a walking psyop.

>>717016767

>>717056378
>Rennala had stronger kids than Marika
Malenia, Morgott, and Mohg were all stronger than any of Rennala's children. Radahn 2: Particle Effect Boogaloo is only the toughest boss in the game because Miquella stuffed him into Mohg's body and was channeling literal god powers into him

I never understood why Radagon attacks the Tarnished. As I understand, he wants to mend the ring, right? And as long as the Tarnished doesn't come to the tree with one of the foreign mending runes, shouldn't Radagon just allow them to fix the ring?

>>717061932
Imagine getting overwhelmed by woman as a demigod.
Godwyn is a loser

>>717062128
He wants to return the world to how it was. With himself as Elden Lord.
And if that can't happen, then he'd rather leave it in stasis forever.
As well, Radagon isn't really Radagon by the time we fight him. He's basically under the control of the Elden Beast who wants to maintain control over the Elden Ring, while we're refusing to submit.

>>717033874
Anri (female) had a cute voice too. Too bad beneath the armor she was just another generic Hollow.

>>717034705
What was she doing for centuries between the Shattering War and the murderhobo showing up?
just NEETing in her tower?

>>717062441
She couldn't do anything until Radahn died, because he was locking the stars away and that controlled her fate to a certain level.
She also needed to find the Fingerslayer Blade, that was locked away in Nokron, which no one had any idea how to get to.
It works out for us that killing Radahn, which she needed us for, also opened up Nokron.

Her only real agent was Blaidd. She either didn't want to, or couldn't, gather other supporters or agents.

Late reply, but I've always had an issue with this train of thought specifically due to the ending cutscene. The Tarnished places her head back on her body. With the way her body and neck are angled, it should fall right off again, but it sticks. Beating up the Elden Beast and bringing the great runes back worked, just told in a way that's as explicit as it gets for Fromsoft.

You realize that's literally an dead vessel? It's like the thrones in the Eternal City, the ascetics in the Realm of Shadow and Miquella's old body in the cocoon. It's just an empty shell that contains the Elden Ring.
Marika dies when we defeat her God Radagon form

>>717063652
You can't be a consort to a corpse, silly.

>>717062196

Melina was the best of Marika's brood.

>>717063850
such a letdown he wasn't in the shadow dlc
all that build up was for him not radhan a second fucking time for that faggot miquella

>>717063824
In fact, the player is not a consort to Marika.
Marika is dead because her ascension to Godhood was halted by the Tarnished. Elden Ring is specifically against Gods and their ability to manipulate and control life and death with grace. Marika and Miquella lose both because they both seek to do the same. Ranni shed her Empyrean flesh because she is not interested in the slightest to be Goddess and in the end she is the vessel to a Moon of the Eternal Cities, and the Elden Ring is only brought away to remove the concept of Order from the Lands Between.
No matter what the player becomes a Lord for humans

>>717065231
This. Fuck this Bethesda bullshit. It doesn't even make any sense narratively speaking for the Tarnished to not even have the option to kill her. I can buy the Tarnished not having the option to slaughter everyone at the hub area, but you can learn that Ranni is the one behind all the bullshit in the game before ever meeting her and the only that happens is her going: "Teehee, I did kill my half-brother. Wanna kill my other brother for me?"
I don't even dislike Ranni as a character, but not being to kill her just takes me out of the experience.

>>717065949
>not even have the option to kill her
She's already dead, anon. You notice how there are no ghost or "spirit" enemies in the game? The only undead are physical bodies and bones that are being reanimated, if yiu "killed" Ranni she could just find another vessel to inhabit

She didn't betray Blaidd or Iji. You misunderstood what went down.

For example the Greater Will is unquestionably the villain. He is literally Sauron the pretender as it's based on Lord of the Rings and Gnostic lore. Getting rid of its control over the land was of vital importance. It was just harvesting everyone's souls with the trees, its religion was just song and dance. And when discovered and then betrayed by his messenger he imprisons them in a tree, just like Gnostic lore.

>>717011263

>>717011321
Elden Ring is a story about a family trying to groom you into being their boytoy, all while you just wanna see the world burn

>>717074715
>>717074857
The Greater Will is the Demiurge anon. It is the origin of everything. The errors made by Marika, that spur Ranni to conclude that , are entirely hers, or at most, spurred by the Fingers who are acting on orders that make no more sense.

>>717050176
Most likely just a PR stunt or at most 2 pages to vaguely describe the world.

Post your cutest Ranni's
What a dork

>>717077658

>>717064527
>Marika was already a God
Nope, that's the whole point of the plot, of her Shattering the Ring and Radagon reforming it after the Tarnished were done unsealing Death
>>717066691
RETARD, how the fuck subhumans like you with zero literacy can exist?

So? Why are trannys obsessed with being on model?

>>717066691

Damn you are stupid as fuck.
The laws of Order change, how life and souls function and what happens to people after death
You can both create one of 4 systems or abhor it entirely with Ranni

I heard you can kill her tho

>>717066301
Godwyn bros... how do we save him?

>>717065886
Nigga they stab him after holding him down.
His gay ass got wrapped and put down by woman with no muscles till he got stabbed.
No matter how you see it.
He is a fucking loser.

>>717078731
Because Fromsoft models are generally ugly. It's like trying to sell Debra as some hot babe as the off model artist just plaster an anime pretty face big tits and ass. False advertising for a shit character with a completely different model from the in game version is mega gay.

>>717079380
Ranni saved him actually. Now he lives as Rune instead of being dead.
>>717066420
No. The Golden Order has many flaws
Goldmask perfected it by binding the fate of the Stars and the Erdtree together in the Stargazer ruins for example.
The whole point of the Mending endings is changing Order, otherwise you end uo with the Age of Fracture

>>717079591
Nigga he doesnt have a soul because of her.

>>717079681
No, he doesn't have a soul because the scions of the Eternal City tried assassinating him to make him a vessel Lord of Night
Ranni saved him, literally, and Fia turns him into a Mending Rune, which is the ultimate form of ascension into divine essense

The image shows Marika's corpse/statue thingy and Ranni's summoning sign after you defeat Elden Beast.
Ranni is preventing her Tarnished husband from obtaining the normal ending by touching Marika, instead wanting him to touch her summoning sign and getting her ending.

I'm still upset.

>>717079330
You can kill Ranni after giving her the ring. It breaks her heart and she doesn't give you the Darkmoon Greatsword.

Destined Death is back in the ring, Godwyn can die now.
Meteorfuckers never stopped falling in the Lands Between even when Radhan stopped the stars.

Okay now I'm lost. So if Ranni is a selfish cunt and Marika is just golem of bunch of different people who doesn't give a shit about you, what's the best ending?

>>717082087
The one unlocked in the DLC where you obtain the Mending Rune of the Primeval Current, save Sellen and get the super secret TRUE END where you marry Sellen and study the stars together while ruling the Academy of Raya Lucaria.

>>717082059
godwyn aint exactly the problem anymore

>>717078559
She was a God.
She wasn't a space alien god like Astel or the Rot God or the Elden Beast and above it, the Greater Will, but she was a God in the form of the leader of the order who was able to exert control over the fabric of reality.
Her issue is that being a 'God', doesn't mean that you're the highest powered entity around, because she was still beholden to your benefactors that gave her that power.
We kill or neutralize those benefactors, so she was now free to exert that power without upper management punishing her for not following directions.

That is Marika's plan in the game, and it basically succeeds.
Although how alive at the end she is, is up for debate.

>>717075134
Anything done to dethrone Yaldabaoth is acceptable.

Ranni's actions are for the greater good in the end.

>>717066226
imagine how powerful the waifubait of Melina would've been if they implemented even a few of the ideas I've seen anons give, having her react to her gestures, melina riding behind you on torrent wrapped around your waist, more summon signs around, more talk to melina graces, a dialogue/resolution if you use the frenzy flame and gold needle to avoid sacrificing her, she acknowledges this and is confused by your actions and feelings. Ranni wouldn't have stood a fucking chance.
All that combined with the "thank you goodbye" in her burning scene would've single handedly killed the best from girl discussion. Alas what could've been
just look at this scene, its so fucking EMOTIONAL with the violins and everything but we FEEL NOTHING, because we barely know her, imagine if we did

I mean you were her servant, what's wrong with being a house husband?

>>717017657
>not mentioning Ranni and Malenia
Dishonest, very foid like of you. The holy trinity of Marika (shattering the ring causing hollow zombie hellscape), Ranni (killing Godwin for her own sake, creating Deathblight), and Malenia (rendering an entire region corrupted by rot by being a sore loser) did by far the most damage to the lands between. The only one who even approaches their evil is Rykard, and despite the vileness of his acts he rendered far less destruction.

>>717083476
>No TRUE END where you save Melina by burning the tree with the Frenzied Flame but then banish it with the Golden Needle in Placidusax's arena, with Melina still being upset and leaving you until the ending with a special cutscene between the Godfrey fight and the Radagon fight where she returns to your side and you fight the final boss together

This motherfucker didn't do anything anyways.
We know that because half the characters totally changed close to release date.
Whatever GRRM wrote, it was totally thrown out before release or it was so vague that it didn't say anything important.

Why does that one random Misbeggotten have the magical Golden Order sword in the Snowfields? Because the Misbegotten were meant to be Radagon's children or at least created by him. That is why a lot of them are red heads. That was just totally cut and Radagon became a religious fundamentalist that focused on orthodoxy instead and the Misbegotten were turned into people punished for messing around with the Crucible. That plot and characterization was dropped entirely but they didn't have time to figure out where else to shove that Easter Egg sword.
Take Marika, the Nox are called Marika's descendants in the game files and in v1.0, no day 1 patch, she is heavily linked to them all over. Then you play a modern version of the game and instead she has very little link to them other than sharing an ethnicity and the Nox were rewritten to be linked to the Carians. That whole plotline and characterization was cut out and remade right before release.

>>717085063
I feel so bad for Messmer, dude just tried his best, fought the unforgivable faggots that are the hornsent, wanted his mother's love, and was tossed aside completely for it.

Roughly how many different types of parasites do you think you have in your gut right now?

>>717083098
Yeah i realized that i delete the part where i would've said
"Ranni to conclude that she has to remove the Elden Ring from sight."

>>717085843
So stupid that Melina doesn't comment once about the shadowlands
They seriously need to just do Elden Ring 2

>>717087505
Gideon has no comments for it either.

>>717084213
NTA. They are very evil but they're supervillain-tier if that. All the other men listed are forces of nature like Greek-esque gods.

>>717045328
I never inferred that Radagon comes FROM Marika. I inferred that they're two beings that swap "existing" at that time. It's left intentionally vague. I'm not saying I'm right, but I assumed they're an inverse of the paladin brothers we find. Instead of two bodies and one soul for the brothers, it's one body/vessel that morphs depending on which soul is in control at that time. Marika and Radagon eventually agreed that having children together was how they wanted to rule the Elden Throne, the disagreements came later.

>>717045737
His entire character was boring. Elden Ring doesn't really have good character sidequests, that's probably it's second biggest flaw with the first being that the world is too and needed to be a little tighter.

>>717049415
I think it's cut dialogue that Horah Loux opines about how much he loved Marika, thus making the whole story that much darker. We won't know if she was using him, we won't get to see the two of them see how folly their decision was.

>>717051841
With Elden Ring they left some things even vaguer than past entries. A big thing with Shadow of the Erdtree is how fucking nebulous what Miquella wants is, if the Haligtree is even a good entity, if it could ever have overthrone the Greater Will, if in the present day Miquella WILL come back, why Miquella wants to be fucked by his half-brother. If I'm wrong on some of those don't crucify me. I stopped at Radahn 2 because the fight was kind of aids, which reinforces to me how they're scrapping the barrel both mechanics wise and narrative wise over at From Software. The dlc really just seems like they vomited ideas related to Miquella as he is a powerful anti-thesis to his mother, with his machinations. But it's just vomit. It's just all over the place and doesn't affect anything in the lore. Now that I think about it, the thesis of the dlc is just that Miquella is yet another god trying to influence that planet. The scarlet god, greater will, dark moon, the old Erdtree, others I haven't listed. They really are all gods, it's just the Greater Will got there first. So in that sense the dlc isn't terrible because it just shows you Miquella flavor of fucking shit up, it's still just weird twink yaoi plot twist RIGHT at the end.

>>717091505
In my opinion, the very best version of Marika is the one who genuinely cared about her people, her family, and her ideals originally, but could never shake the ruthlessness and cynicism that the hornies beat into her. So, as time moved on, she betrayed more and more of what she used to care about/believe in for the sake of larger goals. In the end, she becomes nothing but a husk.

>>717081523
Don't they to this day not have any special cutscenes or dialogue if you save her from burning and then purify chaos' scourge from yourself?

I want to remind everyone the game shipped and for a month there was one to three character sidequests unfinished and had to be added.

>>717092285
Yea there's nothing for using the needle to remove the Frenzied Flame. You'd think it would unlock a special ending.

>>717092097
It's true we just straight up do not know the motivation for Marika breaking the Elden Ring. I do doubt she ever was a cynical villain though. There's too much of her history wrapped up in being a uniter/leader/conqueror to just have it be simple desire to break/hurt things. I think it was as simple as her being disillusioned with the Greater Will and wanted change regardless of the consequences. You could argue she's a dumb bitch, her doing what she did resulted in, as an anon here said, zombie hollow hellscape world.

>>717077658

same VA btw

>>717006926 (OP)
>canon love interest
...is (You)r maiden

>>717092616
She broke the ring because her family kept getting killed in rebellions. First the godskins, and then the black knives who managed to get her favored son. The stress of ruling became too great, but she couldn't stop being a god until someone strong enough to kill the elden beast came around.

>>717006926 (OP)
He means that you should pick the perfect trap waifu instead.

>>717093013
she appears like 6 times the whole game, 7 if you dont let her kill herself and that one is planning to kill you

>>717093430
yes, and? she just doesn't want to get in your way and only shows up when necessary.

>>717093013
She's literally NOT (You)r maiden. She died before the start of the game.
That is just some glowie using you.

No, it doesn't. You have a 2 minute cutscene sequence where nothing is happening except you sitting in a shit throne. Everything you said and the other losers say is made up in their heads, is non-existent, is masturbation. You people should stop being compulsive liars who jack to their headcanon.

>The dlc really just seems like they vomited ideas related to Miquella as he is a powerful anti-thesis to his mother, with his machinations.
He mostly just becomes his mother over the course of the DLC.
He discards his heart, his love, his self-doubt, his fear, his sight, everything.
At the end he's just ambition wearing the skin of a formerly loving if paternalistic and sometimes dangerous demigod. All the good parts of him have been discarded and it is no longer the same Miquella.

>>717095017
she cute

>>717011321
No. Most of ER female characters are trash and most likely don't even consider you human in first place. You're being cucked through and through.
Ranni is crashed everything because she wanted to be God and put her soul into doll because she had a woman moment, and you're her scapegoat, Marika is a psychopath responsible for at least half of disasters lorewise and isn't even human in first place (literally stone statue that is bunch of people molded into one), Melina is schizo literally who, Leda is psycho who blindly serves a megalomaniac femboy, other females are trash, too.
>>717083697
Literally everything. Man should be the one wearing pants and keeping his woman on leash to not be retarded, not opposite.
