Pointless Things You'd Like In Elden Ring?

[Tessa]

What are some of the more pointless things your wanting in Elden ring before it releases?
For me its Mount customization. Would be nice to get a ring or item that gives the mount armor or reskins it to look like the enemy mounts. Imagine riding around on the shrouded horses

Not necessarily pointless by Elden Ring's standards, but I want spider spirit summons. Give me big spooders please.

Thinking of using giant spiders to freak out people and take advantage of their phobia?

Don't give me any ideas (can't use spirit summons in multiplayer anyways).

I personally find spiders to be really cute and fascinating in a lot of ways, and harbor a huge passion for them, ever since I was a kid.

I can't blame you really. Spiders are awesome, and it's really a shame the way a lot of people look at them.

Do ppl with phobia of spiders also have problems with spiders in game?

I thought only the realistic imagery of spiders would trigger their reaction.

Dude I remember when I was a child I thought I was afraid of spiders, cuz not only I feared being bitten by them as I live in 3rd world country, but I had nightmares with them as a child. Then I went to a friend's house who actually had it and watched he ran around his house crying and comically changing direction everytime he saw the spider again. That's when I realized I didn't had phobia, just regular rational fear. The nightmares stopped after that day.

I mean skyrim had spider replacement mods for people with phobias.

It is what it is, is how I see it. I can't blame anyone for this instinct, so I try not to take it personally when someone responds this way, though it is a really big disappointment how it affects media content and effectively dilutes them. But I won't get too into it, haha.

Any crawly spirit summon would be welcome, in my opinion. Like a centipede or a dung beetle (like the new crystal lizards) or something. Doesn't even have to be a useful summon.

Some of them do at least. I've watched a stream way back where someone played Dks2 and they freaked out at the sight of the spider boss, as well as every spider enemy.

I'm glad that you in a way got over this fear, at least in the context of this story.

I recently read a post in the Monster Hunter Rise forums about someone asking for ways to deal with their arachnophobia for the one spider monster in the game, which is creatively a bit different from a real spider but still seemed to be effective (Rakna-Kadaki is the name of the monster). Their friends essentially did that hunt for them, but they were still looking for suggestions and just avoided the monster by the icon on the map every time it showed up in a hunt.

There's a lot of arachnophobia in gaming, it's just not always blatant if you're not the one with the phobia.

I've seen clips of Rom dropping all of the little spiders around the player and garnering a very sudden reaction. Honestly quite amusing.

It must be really hard to have any REAL phobia at all. I emphasize real bc some ppl have just a lighter sentiment towards something, and start claiming they have phobia of something just because they dislike something.

You dont really know how horrible phobia is for that person till you see that in action. The whole body not answering to reasoning and ruining the day for that person simply because of that uncontrollable reaction to their specific fear.

Just like my friend that has phobia of frogs. She cried everytime we saw one, at first I thought it was funny but then realized it was pretty sad. She started sobbing and some times would even have trouble breathing at the sight of frogs, or just imagining one was there was already terrifying for her.

Centipede summon would be pretty neat, a scorpion or a mantis too. Crabs as well.

Why give runes when you can give headpats?

I would like the character to sheath his weapons while in no combat/infinite stamina mode.
