Does anybody keep restarting their progress in this game like me ?

[Sc0p10n]

For some reason I already lost 6 characters because of this urge to restart the game and start fresh new...
It's making the game unsatisfying, bad and it's so frustating.
150 hours of elden ring and I didn't get past godrick... how the f*** do i stop

Yes, I don't get it either

If its because of the fact you'd rather try another build, this game allows for a limitless amount of respecs in one playthrough. Only limiting factor might be +10/+25 stones, but even then you get a fair few to either make a full build around multiple weapons, or multiple builds across many different types of weapons.

You don't need to start over, further down the line in the game you will have an opportunity to respec your character, and even change cosmetics

I do this, too, in many games. It takes 3-4 starts before I get something that sticks. Doesn't bother me, though, it's just part of my process.

Well, in some way I can understand you. I just uninstall the game in these cases and sometimes delete them in the steam support page and come back later. You can always put them back into your library.

From a gameplay point of view: ER gets a lot easier the higher your level is. Recently I started with a new character and I have to say, I think the first area is in my opinion a lot thougher. Many enemies stagger like a madman, some you ecounter leave you almost no room for an attack or heal and this while you're limited with your character due to a lack of weapon and stats.

Just continue, every level makes it easier. Eventually to a point where the game gets boring and grindy.

Someone has a fear of commitment.

I ran through 4 or 5 characters before sticking with one. Partly because I was feeling out the game, partly because early game progression always feels good.
I'm also fighting my urge to restart when I screw up a quest - learning to let it go and wait until NG+ to try it again.

It is actully impossible to "complete all quests" in one play thru, this is because some quests involve killing NPCs while others have 2 endings and you cany complete both endings obviously. So this is a good thing to adapt to.

There is a respec option, and you can change your appearance in the round table hold, Those are the reasons I would start over in the past games, so I don't have a reason to now. I do still have 2 characters though. 1 Physical and 1 INT based.
