    I gave up on Elden, gonna uninstall next time I need space for a game.

    I just can't practice the same room of enemies 30 times so I get it perfectly.

    And what's the point of the whole "lose your XP when you die" mechanic other than to make it arbitrarily harder? Purely anti-fun mechanic. Every time I go to retrieve my lost soul points or whatever and die, I just say "okay I'd rather not play this game anyways."

      This was my first From game and I had a real rough time starting out, turns out you can make the game a lot easier by putting 3/4 of your level up points into vigor, hunting down the weapon upgrade materials, and sticking to medium armor load/roll dodging everything.

      I agree 100% with the rune loss on death, though. Serves no practical purpose except to frustrate.
