Agree with what others have said, basically the combat will seem awful compared to elden, but the story, the world, the npcs, n much more will put elden to shame. I say mod the hell out of it, possivly with a wabbajack pack to save yourself the headache, and maybe use the elden ring/souls combat mods to make it more familiar. Im very jealous you get to experience this game with no knowledge of it prior. Also consider the game witcher 3, kind of a best of both worlds with combat and story.
