    I kind of like how there's actually a considerable number of characters who have faith deposited in you becoming Elden Lord. Ranni at the end of her subquests takes it for granted, Malenia also considers it a foregone conclusion, Hewg at some point also starts to think of you as a lord way before he even tells you as confessed by Roderika (seems like you're a frequent topic of conversation between them), the finger maiden at roundtable may also think so. Like it's just neat, instead of being always a dumb little guy, some people actually start to look up to you

    • @aidanmullard8508
      @aidanmullard8508 2 роки тому +221

      Ranni is still in my opinion the best ending.
      Beacuse the vanilla ending and its variants still have the greater will be in charge.
      The frenzy fire ending kills everyone and brings the world and its residents back into 1 entity.
      While Ranni frees the world from the outer gods and gives more or less freewill.

    • @4DTrue
      @4DTrue 2 роки тому +284

      I'm pretty sure queen marika bound him there with the express purpose of creating the godslaying weapon for the tarnished, so that he may stand with queen marika as her consort. That's why hewg is sort of fading away talking about creating the weapon, it's what queen marika is forcing him to do, whether he wants to or not. Not that I doubt he would gladly serve the tarnished regardless. I think while he wants to help you by forging said weapon, he also cares about other things now, which goes against marika's will and that's why it seems like he's having an internal battle with something.

      It tells you all this amazing, emotional sht happened but it never actually shows anything.
      Did you see him take care of roderika or was that 4 lines of dialogue over the 100+ hour journey?
      Every character in this game is so shallow.
      I couldn't give a sht when melenia or miquella or marika or melana or whatever her name was burned herself in front of the tree because I met her three times over the course of the game for a few seconds each. Apparently we were on some epic journey together, side by side every step of the way, and we had supposedly been through a lot together, but I had no idea because she simply wasn't there for 90% of the game, making her goodbye utterly incapable of evoking the emotion it was going for.

Game came out 2 months before he passed everytime I go by Hewg it makes me think of him. When I first saw him slip it put me to tears cause its so accurate to watch. Because of both of them im going to learn blacksmithing as my trade and honor them in my own way.

      His relationship with her really reminds me of Godot and Erica from "Berserk". Though at least Godot had his happy ending as a one of the very few if not the only person shown in Berserk to die from the old age surrounded by people he considered family.

So if you choose any ending apart from the Elden Lord ending, hewgs might die.

I saw a god, the god saw me, and in that moment, our destinies collided, the God who had lost everything vs the tarnished who's allies while dead never left them. After emerging from the battle victorious, all I could say was "all this death and destruction, all this ruin, and for what? the gods may have betrayed us, but we shall usher in their ultimate demise" then i realized that going 30 hours without sleep is bad for your health and slept like a baby.

    @mikebeenft6728 2 роки тому +11

    This is one of those scenes where you don't know how much you are attached to a character until it plays out. It was written and executed with genius level precision. Like, Hewg is just kind of in the background as a utility character for countless hours. But subconsciously he's building a relationship with you. A relationship of trust, reliability, and necessity. His importance grows on multiple levels without you even realizing it. The importance of his utility in the game unknowingly manifests into emotional importance, slowly and over time. And you go to him for what seems like the millionth time and then, bam! It hits you with the feeling of loss of a deep-seeded bond. It's especially effective due to the mostly unemotional nature of most of the game, as well as the fact that it's not a loss due to death. It's a loss due to Hewg losing his mind and connection. Coupled with the fact that this whole time he was becoming your biggest fan, purely due to how you made him feel in his lowly state. This scene floored me much harder than I would have anticipated. It will go down as one of my favorite video game moments, because of the psychology that was put into it over the long-haul. I hope none of you see it prior to the game springing it on you when it's supposed to. Because that's how it shines the brightest.
