After gaining a love for playing as the Raider character in Elden Ring: Nightreign I’ve come to gain an appreciation for the ‘Hero’ archetype of character. The type of big muscley warrior who fights with big weapons and relies on strength to beat down their enemies. Something about a titan of muscle and steel who can take on great dragons, mighty wizards and hordes of enemies with just a big stick with a pointy part on the end is endlessly satisfying to imagine. Not to mention that a lot of these characters end up being protagonists, so you gain a great insight into how they think and the actions they take. There’s almost a simple joy in seeing someone solve problems in the most straightforward way possible, by hitting them really hard with a big object. I think I’ll try playing such characters more often from now on, and hey, that just means there will be a lot more Barbarian characters in my future. Time to smash and win!
That’s all for now, and as always. It’s not just a game, It’s a Life.
