FromSoftware Originally Had Elden Ring Players Waking Up on a Beach, Changed It To Preserve Sense of Discovery Emerging from Caves
- Originally, players would wash up on a Limgrave beach after the first boss rather than waking up underground
- This makes more logical sense, but FromSoft changed it to preserve the 'wow' moment emerging from the cave
- Having players start right in the open world may have caused more confusion
- FromSoft games often feature surreal, dreamlike logic that you just have to accept
- At launch, some believed broken questlines were intentional due to FromSoft's reputation for obscurity
