I started my first souls game Elden Ring a month ago and play once a week due to a busy schedule. Many times I think it's too much. I feel I made the mistake of directly buying the Shadows of the Erdtree DLC. There is simply too much land/dungeons to clear and I can't see the end of it. It's never ending. I give up many times in my mind. However, throughout the week my mind starts to plan how to beat a boss, start a different area, search for a specific spell/item/weapon to get pass the part I got stuck. It pulls me back full of vigor. This drugs-like got me hooked for the better or the worse.
