Melina was a garbage design character.

[R for Reload]

Like she could of easily just not been in the game she has almost no impact on the story shes just there for exposition, AKA lazy writing.
I didn't need a character telling me her opinion in any other game and after you frenzy flame she threatens you and you don't get even get to kill her.
So garbage.

TC, what did ER do to you?

[Weedsmell]

i'm startig to think the ''R'' doesn't stand for ''Reloaded''

at least your baits are different tho

[Basarab Laiota]

I honestly forgot she was a character for a long while until she showed up at Atlus Plateu to talk to me at a Site of Grace. I was like "Oh yeah you're the reason I can level up! Where the hell have you been?"
I'm assuming she's gonna be important sooner or later... eventually... maybe...

OP is not wrong. ER is a solid 7/10 game with on-rails gameplay and cheesing bosses the pinnacle of FROM design.

[lolschrauber]

This opinion is irrelevant among fanboys, because hard = good.

They should make a boss that just 1-shots you no matter what unless you frame perfectly dodge 283 attacks in a row and then maybe hit 1 or 2 attacks and repeat that for 3 hours. Doesn't get much harder = better than that.

DS1 was peak Souls NPCs

She very likely is the Gloam Eyes Queen

She also seems to be duplicitous as herlittle speech at the end of frenzied flame ending seems to show.

I think we will see her again in the DLC. maybe as a boss.

Someone had too many Foster's.

people call this bait, and maybe it is but he is right, they did Melina dirty in this game and chances are she won't be in the dlc at all, death of a character.

Or get a extra secret ending where you use the golden needle meaning she is still alive and you become Elden Lord. Sometimes i really do wish there was a NG+ or maybe a mod one day where we get a real finger maiden. Even if it was to have a Finger Maiden Puppet permanently following us that gets resummoned/healed at grace.

Honestly i agree. it would have been nice if the game made her appear at least when i had enough runes to level up. So maybe i might miss her after the Tree top event and I level alone. Or have you maybe make comments about how I'm ready/not ready for a fight so i have some clue when I'm in proper level range of a area.

It might have been cool if she had more lines that dealt with the area or up and coming events as well. Maybe she could have told me about storm vale or the golden city. Like she was guiding me through the lands between. No random things you need to watch a you tube video to understand because the lines are intended to be played in a order when the game is not.

Honestly i can understand why people loose it over the Fire keeper in DS3.

I hate having my hand held just to level up, I like ds1 where I don't need to have someone just to level up, only good thing about Elden ring is you can do it at any bonfire, I personally hate the roundtable as well I think they should just utilise bonfires/graces better making you can upgrade things at them fully.

This thread confirms that OP skip cinematics and conversations (power to you my man if thats the way you like it). She literally has interesting lore to share in nearly every church grace.....but sure, lazy writting.

I feel like some people are getting Maleina and Melina confused because this game has an awful naming system
