Reddit user Legendarygap found themselves in a quandary after trying Elden Ring. They'd played and loved Sekiro, their first FromSoftware game, and everyone said Elden Ring is the best of the best. But from their point of view, it felt terrible to play. It was only a month later that they finally learned about the RPG's equip load system and realized they'd unintentionally been playing with the absolute worst dodge roll the entire time.
"I picked up Elden Ring next because I’ve heard it is amazing. I started playing and had a miserable time. The game felt extremely difficult and I could not figure out what I was doing wrong," they said in a Reddit post lamenting that they had played on "hard mode" for a month. "It took me about a week to finally beat Margit the Fell Omen, and [I] had a similar experience with other early bosses."
