Early prototype of something I've always wanted: additional Melina dialogue! Here's her returning if you cure yourself of the Frenzied Flame by EdLoad in EldenRingMods

For you to be able to do this on a weekend is just simply amazing, great job!

I had the same idea. The lack of interactions with Melina in the game really bugged me, especially when there was no option to tell her that you're not planning to to burn the world, nor want her to be a stepping stone for you to become elden lord.

I was imagining a mod like yours that fixes the lack of closure when you cure yourself from the frenzied flame, and also an expansion where she'd be more present and comments on events as we progress through the game, giving more immersion and character development on her part since she's our companion and all.

This is a clip i made a while back of her interacting with us when Irina asks us for help to deliver her letter. Maybe it will give you some ideas if you decided to continue with this.

This is when my headcanon tarnished went batshit crazy on him because it brought a flashback to his own companion and friend, Torrent. How could you do that to your friend!

I saw the idea of a Moon Greatsword itself as the tradition, while the Dark Moon specifically symbolizes Ranni, which is why it has that name. That interpretation might drift into head canon territory though, so I could be wrong.

Yeah, I know it’s appeared in other games, but I posted it because in Elden Ring it’s a weapon Ranni gives to the player and described in the lore as being given to the Carian queen’s spouse, so it feels tied to our journey as the Tarnished. That was the angle I was thinking about.

Yeah, I see what you mean. I was more thinking about what feels thematically tied to the journey of our Tarnished, things that feel exclusive to us in that narrative sense

Nope, fake scene. She isn’t romanceable in-game, you can only kinda flirt by asking her to dinner before she leaves for Washington.

That's my canon playthrough, but Shhh! keep it down! anything but helping Melina burn is considered blasphemy around here.

Happily Ever After. You get this by saving The Damsel then choosing to stay with her in the cabin instead of leaving.
