I used to be Elden Ring's biggest hater, I'm talking I 100%'d the game JUST so nobody could tell me it was a skill issue when I didn't like it.

But just now, when I went to go take the other path to Mohgwyn Palace so I can go kill Mohg on my NG+?? to get over a break-up in preparation for the dlc because a kind friend is going to get it as a gift, going through that path and getting here, taking in the sights...
I get it now. I get why people, both vets and new, really like this game. There's just a special kind of magic that even early on I felt when exploring the Lands Between.

Miyazaki has done it again, I can't wait to find what doors open from the other side in the upcoming DLC!
To make this not a selfish post, how about you guys, when did the magic of Elden Ring hit for you?
