    Sounds a bit like how I handled the Ebony Warrior in Skyrim, on Legendary. Crafting and enchanting were your friends, but avoiding direct melee. Another relentless juggernaut.

    Its been so long since I played Skyrim that I had to look up the EW on Youtube, tough SOB.  I forgot much of what the game looks like, but the fast travel in the map looks very similar to Elden Ring.

    Stuck on Radagon and Elden Beast.

    If you don't mind a little 'cheese' in your game, not sure if they patched this but with Radagan you can run up to him and stop and he wont move.  I beat him once like this.  I used a fully upgraded bow with regular arrows to get him near half health then poison arrows to get him past half health (if you hit him with melee weapon or regular arrows he will stun at half health and fall out of the 'trance').  After he is past half health, continue with the arrow barrage until he is beat.  This will get you to the Beast at full strength, good luck from there!

I have been to very few cons in my life, mainly because I don't like to stand in crowds of people.  But one I attended was relatively small put on in Boston back in 2007.  David Finch was in attendance and I was and still am a big fan.   I learned he was doing sketches for a mere $40, so I jumped in line.  Can't remember how long I waited to get to him, maybe a half hour or so.  It was well worth it as I really liked the Wolverine head sketch that he did and I still possess.  But what struck me as being kind of sad was the other creators/artists seated at tables with their OA displayed for sale, that I was passing by on my way to Finch.  I noticed that nobody in line was paying much attention to them as we each filed by.  I just felt bad seeing them looking bored and thinking they must be a little annoyed that Finch was getting all the attention.  I imagine this still goes on today with the bigger artists garnering the bigger lines in front of the others in artist alley.

    And this is the Finch head sketch..

    And Finch was a great guy, answering all question put to him.  When he started this sketch though I was a bit skeptical because he started with a load of wavy lines, but the end result was awesome!

    Been watching some gameplay of Elden Ring

    How do you guys find it? Based on what I've seen, a guy running around with an oversized sword, its really not impressive. 

    Are there different class structures? It appears to be a DnD knockoff, but it follows the same formula of cheap fighting bosses to death, run around, power up, cheap boss fight, inquire, get relic, cheap boss fight....

    I've played over 100 hours, haven't beaten it yet and still love playing.  I equate it to playing Dark Souls in Skyrim with awesome graphics. And yes there are different classes you can choose with different starting stats/equipment.  The greatness of DS is carried over here in that you can beat the game many ways and challenge yourself in many ways like a SL1 run which I am far from doing at this point, but did in the past games and it was like rediscovering them.
