Some are definitely tarnished

Elden Ringis nothing if not about perseverance - and also extremely good recreations of famous people using the in-game character creator. There’s a whole community over on Reddit –r/SoulsSliders– who’ve dedicated themselves to showing off their latest masterpieces, like, for example this horrifically photorealistic version ofRickfrom Rick And Morty, because of course.

Elden Ring allows for needlessly deep customisation - see also Ed’s post abouta terrifying Sonic player- so there are genuinely some incredible creations on display. The Reddit user bellyPower madeRobert Pattinson’s Batman, complete with the eye makeup, for realism.

There are a lot of game characters in play. SpookMcBones' made a very impressive version of the world’s greatest dad,Kratos, and pISTOLEr’sSekirowho has now ended up in the Lands Between. Hasn’t he suffered enough?

Remember a few years ago when it felt likeGeraltwas getting put into every game that came out? Well, it’s not funny now, but think about how funny itwould’vebeen if you saw this back then. ForNierfans, you can make a pretty goodA2in Elden Ring. Just pick up a katana and it’s the same thing, if you squint extremely hard. Turtle_man00’s made an updated version of theDoom Guy, complete with his ridiculously defined jaw.

And of course, there are more absurd ones. What about a terrifyingWillem Dafoe? No, not the Green Goblin, or the dude from The Lighthouse, but literally, just Willem Dafoe. Or how do you feel aboutDr. Manhattan? He’s even got the hydrogen atom on his forehead. Surely, you have to go for a magic build right?

Elden Ringdoeslets you change your character’s appearance at any point… I might spend a few hours running about as Kratos now.
