It's going to be the first Open World game to actually have a proper world

The rest are just barren fields full of chore quests and nothing at all interesting

On the plus side, soulsborne games are basically the perfect formula for an open world game where you have to really explore every nook and cranny to learn all about what's happening in the world.

Dark Souls fans: "We want this game + open world."

Elden Ring releases

Dark Souls fans: "Fuck go back!"

Open world is not a can of worms you want to open

I will give it to Fromsoft for trying something different instead of playing it safe with the Souls series. If they can alleviate the problems with open world games being "empty and barren", I'm all for it.

So it does have a map? Good. An open world game without one would be a nightmare.

And yes, I am a big Soulsborne guy. The other games didn't need maps. This probably will.

Actually, I think like every Souls game would've been better with a map, tbqh.

But it has to be the kind of map that's all fogged out and only shows areas you've explored before.

I'll take it a step further: it should have a map, but it should just be a map. As in, no quest markers, no GPS position for your character's current location... just a literal top-down topographical map of the region. The kind a character might bring with them if they were actually venturing into a new land. See something cool? Orient yourself relative to a landmark on the map and then make your trek from there.

It is genuinely sad that we've backtracked from the ye olde dungeon crawler maps where we could put notes on the map in addition to individual markers.

The first thing that popped into my head when reading this topic was the old baldur's gate cloth maps that you would get with a copy of the game:

I think a Hollow Knight style map would be right at home in the Souls series. Map and quill item let's you fill in the map with what you've explored when you hit a bonfire, and put Xs + little hand drawn notes on spots of interest

Hell, DkS2 even had a cartographer NPC
