Elden Ring Nightreign has cut an iconic feature that has been a part of the Dark Souls trilogy, along with the original Elden Ring, due to the a fundamental shift in the spin-off’s gameplay.

One of the ways in which the Souls games handled multiplayer content is by allowing players to leave messages on the overworld for other people to see. This can be used for good, such as warning players about Mimics or evil, by hinting that treasure awaits in a bottomless pit.

Elden Ring players had the ability to leave messages for each other, but that is no longer part of the game. According to an interview with IGN Japan (via Eurogamer), the ability to write notes has been removed from Elden Ring Nightreign.

I don't see the benefit of removing it.

I read it's a roguelike so it wouldn't really work

That makes sense

This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".

Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.

Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:

[BB] This enemy is so difficult!

or

[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
