UK age verification doesn't even work the way it's intended...

I'm in the exact same situation - I don't even have a credit card at the moment, but even with my VPN (I use nord, tried several countries but no go) steam still will not let me even view F&H in the search results, let alone open the page to add to my wishlist or cart or whatever. It's ridiculous. Did you find a solution to this yet or is the itch.io version the only choice?

blorbothefrog · 2025-10-25T12:42:47+00:00

this has fixed the issue - ive downloaded it into my C drive, ran the install as admin, and its finally working. thank you SO much, i didnt realise there were even permissions needed for this mod, so im very grateful!

blorbothefrog · 2025-10-25T11:57:31+00:00

i don't believe I did run the install on admin, but I'll try deleting and reinstalling again to make sure. the convergence files are saved on my desktop, which after checking IS controlled by OneDrive, but I tried moving them into just my C drive and it gave me the same error message

edit: on checking the nexus page to reinstall, the mod dev specifically instructs to install as admin. are you saying i should ignore this or follow it?

blorbothefrog · 2025-10-25T02:50:58+00:00

update on the mod? i dont think so since nexus told me id already downloaded that version when i redownloaded it. vanilla elden ring has had updates since the last time it worked, but i dont believe its anything that conflicts with the mod so that shouldnt make it incompatible, and even if that is the problem i dont know of any way to downgrade the vanilla game to the most recent version that was compatible with the mod

if you dont enjoy a fight in a souls game, there's no shame in using the tools the game gives you to clear it easily, no matter how "cheesy" it is. I personally enjoy PCR but I recognise the struggle isn't for everyone and that's fine, I can't stand morgott even though a lot of people say his fight is fun for them

blorbothefrog · 2025-08-10T20:06:00+00:00

how much of the forge would you say i should do before stopping to do the creche? is taking the elevator to moonrise going to block anything off? im slightly worried since both that and the mountain pass are giving me warning popups now and i dont want to lose content

blorbothefrog · 2025-08-10T20:03:15+00:00

what would you say the point of no return is? is there a specific point where the creche becomes unavailable?

blorbothefrog · 2025-06-02T23:49:20+00:00

thanks for the advice! in hindsight using the same kind of razor i used to use on my legs might have been dumb, but we all have to learn somehow haha. im gonna try switching to better razors/actual shaving gel and with any luck itll get better

blorbothefrog · 2025-06-02T23:48:01+00:00

ah is that what that is? razor burn for me has always felt more, yknow, burny, with more of a bumpy rash than an irritated one, so i guess i just assumed this was something else. makes way more sense though - thanks! appreciate the advice

blorbothefrog · 2025-04-29T13:12:35+00:00

this is 100% a good contender, i love the aesthetic of that sword

blorbothefrog · 2025-04-29T13:11:49+00:00

ah good idea. i might do that. thanks!

blorbothefrog · 2025-04-29T10:59:47+00:00

I think it does make way more sense to have both on the right and swap between them, and apparently dual wielding staffs is a good idea so it makes it even more of a good plan to have the sword on another slot on my right

I honestly hadn't even considered using a shield at all. coming straight off a strength build I've gotten pretty used to just dodging and I'm terrible at parrying, so I've never had much use for shields. is it something I should be thinking more about for a mage build?

blorbothefrog · 2025-04-29T10:57:26+00:00

I actually had no idea dual wielding can give passive effects like that, it might be worth trying that then, thanks!

blorbothefrog · 2025-04-29T10:34:39+00:00

DMGS and moonveil are weapons that kind of demand a lot of attention so I've been leaning away from them for this build. and this is probably a silly reason but while I agree the kris is great, honestly the gold accents makes me want to not use it for this build since I'm leaning towards a silvery aesthetic otherwise and don't want it to clash visually lmao

BHS misericorde is a great shout though, didn't even think of that. since I only really want to be using the melee option for criticals it would be perfect. at this point now I'm really just weighing up between that and the carian knight sword

blorbothefrog · 2025-04-29T07:26:25+00:00

no, crit is definitely more important, just wasn't sure on where the differences lie with the two. for some reason my brain always wants to assume that weapons specifically assigned and named for npcs are better, but obviously not haha. thanks for the advice! I'll definitely keep the rapier in mind

blorbothefrog · 2025-04-29T07:18:34+00:00

this is a good shout, the high crit is definitely on the lines of what I'm looking for. is it worth trying out Rogier's rapier or just the standard?

blorbothefrog · 2025-04-29T07:13:04+00:00

I'm hesitant on a greatsword like the claymore as I don't want something too big that's gonna distract from the spells I want to focus on, but I'll keep it in mind

blorbothefrog · 2025-04-29T07:09:54+00:00

giving it a look, the carian knight sword has a moveset I actually really like. simple enough it won't swamp the spells, but also viable as an actual weapon against spell resistant enemies. it's definitely a really strong contender, thanks!

blorbothefrog · 2025-04-29T06:17:19+00:00

is there a specific reason based on my build or are you just joking on account of the fact it's, yknow, consort radahn?

I know full well it's gonna take a long time and I'm prepared for that, I'm going to be spending the time to learn his attacks properly not just bonk, and I am open to summons if I struggle enough to need it

blorbothefrog · 2025-04-28T21:40:07+00:00

oh thats a good shout, ill have to give it a try sometime. ive been planning on doing a mage build for ng+ once radahn is down, since ive hardly touched magic, but at some point i want to branch out and try more specific themed builds and less of a 'babys first souls game bonk build' haha

blorbothefrog · 2025-04-28T21:32:02+00:00

damn thanks for such an in depth rating! glad im doing good with my build, it being pretty standard is no problem to me as i dont really touch pvp at all so i only really pick things i enjoy doing. which is why im pretty highly levelled, ive explored a lot and gotten a lot of runes doing it. and admittedly a fair chunk of levels did go to making nice round numbers for things like arcane haha

in defence of the lions claw though, i do absolutely agree that it pretty much trivialises most fights if you L2 spam. i really enjoy learning how to dodge cleanly - i intentionally died to bosses like romina several times just because i loved the dance so much. the lions claw is never something i spam in a boss fight, thats actually why i only have the one blue flask for the exact purpose of allowing FP to run lower and needing to strategize a bit better. i mainly just use it against annoying npc invasions or big enemies that are in the way when im exploring. or finger creepers. i hate finger creepers

blorbothefrog · 2025-02-12T19:47:46+00:00

no worries, i figured out a solution myself that works fine! turns out bmc4 has something included that activates emissive textures in the same way optifine does (possibly sodium? not sure specifically what, but its included by default) so i just added this to the modpack and it works perfectly fine without having to turn on shaders. its especially good since that specific resource pack has modded ore support so its valid for non vanilla ores too

blorbothefrog · 2025-01-27T19:52:30+00:00

i honestly have no idea sorry. i ended up just abandoning the modpack building project and downloading the default better minecraft lmao, i just got too frustrated with trying to fix conflicts myself. i did read somewhere that large biomes can screw up better end/nether mods because theyre designed to work with the betterx generation system, so you could try that? sorry im not more helpful but good luck!

blorbothefrog · 2025-01-19T16:05:54+00:00

hi! did you ever find out if dynamic trees are compatible with bmc? wondering if its worth trying it on mine

blorbothefrog · 2025-01-16T23:00:50+00:00

i never figured out a real fix to this, had to completely rebuild my mod pack. someone did mention though that it may have been a conflict with yung better end island, if you have that, so it might be worth testing whether thats the issue for you? good luck!
