How does your character know so much?

[Foodoman]

Seriously!

How does your character know so much about everything in the game?

Where do you think the item descriptions come from?

Sure, they could just be something for the player.

But the question I like to ask;

What is the in universe reason your character knows so much trivia about everything you pick up?

My character is a man of culture and not just some uneducated oaf......Thats why.

My Tarnished has the limited edition Elden iWatch that he uses to watch Vaati, Zulie, SmoughTown, and Tarnished Archaeologist between invasions.

My character is usually just very lucky. Maybe he is the chosen one.
Things always fall into place before him and things work themselves out.
Also he is very experienced because he is coming from Dark Souls & Dark Souls 3.
Dark Souls 2 was just a bad dream.

I don't think the info in the item descriptions is something the player character knows or learns when they pick up an item, I believe those were always meant for the player only.

That could be the case...

But I personally find it more interesting the character him/herself knows this stuff.

This is a possibility too...

But we never see the tarnished reading books. The Tarnished could be studying when we're not playing him...

This is what's cool in these RPGs, you can just imagine/roleplay your character in any way you like and it will still fit the events of the game cause it's just one surprise after the next so anyone can fit in. Some people recreate their characters from other games which is cool too.

there is actually a very simple reason for remembrance bosses items, the characters could get a glimpse into the boss' past when they kill them/get their soul/remembrance

That could work for some things, but I doubt it would work for every item.

Also why the heck does my character sometimes decide to climb into random stone coffins, shut the lid, and then wake up unsurprised to be in a completely different place...

[CazadorDeLobo]

Meanwhile I'm wondering why the player character uses certain weapons incorrectly and therefore inefficiently while being a master of anime moves and eastern-oriented small arms
