Wait, wait... so...let me understand this. You are criticising the story-telling of a game that you have literally never played,
For the record: Unreal five may be neat, but I personally welcome the death of the unreal dominance and the rediversification of games and gaming engines; when every game comes out relying on the same engine underneath, they intrinsically develop a sort of saminess that, in the most recent generation of games was getting stifling - I'm sick of seeing games piggybacking on the unreal engine rather than developing their own, and the various games I've seen recently that have shifted to develop their own engines for their own games have been a breath of fresh air by comparison.
I can discuss as much I want on forums and Elden Ring has had lots of both negative reviews and positive reviews. I am like thinking (brainstorming) of different games what to play and seems ER is not among them.

As for list of games that will use Unreal 5 engine is long indeed and growing. That said not every game of course will use Unreal 5 engine. Game developers do their own code? They do not do that always well not even for so called AAA games like Cyberpunk 2077 or the very infamous Starcitizen MMO project I mean both of them are not known for good coding despite having good budget not low budget games.

You are true about it will give less diversity to some degree if really many games use Unreal 5 engine, but I take that certainly happily if the result is an excellent engine like Unreal 5 and it is not like total dominance. Well even more so if talking about none AAA games not everyone wants to pay for Unreal 5 engine. Even the best of so called Indie games or low budget will give some happiness to many players.

On the other side is a second or third run is more fun because you have alot of options in the open world.

DS1 and 3 have the the better Core Lore with the flames and magic schools.
Elden Ring has to much side factions. 3-4 different schools of magic and faith are a bit much. Golden Order two Fingers Yellow Flame etc. .. confusing.
But DS2 with Majula has a special place for me.

Elden Ring needs a caravan or some friendly hiden places, everything an enemy is a bit boring.
The combat is nice but the other RPG Aspects like NPC interaction need a little more love.
Thank you for confirming this.
Well and I have not said ER is bad game it has good graphics and some people (not me) like Open World games. I have said ER is not my cup of tea in personal taste but still interesting since good graphics and I like some of its Horror elements in regard of tough enemies and some of them a bit Horror fantasy theme.
