Yes, we skipped dialogue in Elden Ring<\/em> and this YouTube short echoes our shame.<\/h4>\n

No, we didn\u2019t hammer our way through every NPC interaction, but when we got to about the sixtieth NPC, the fourth merchant who\u2019d decided to tell us his life story, we tapped the skip button. Just a bit. And then a bit more.<\/p>\n

It was only when we realised we\u2019d skipped a scrap of lore the true horror of what we\u2019d done hit us, and it\u2019s why this particularly YouTube short resonates with us. It\u2019s the work of Goat-on-a-Stick, responsible for such Joel Haver-inspired gems as Never Underestimate Knife Galsia and Minecraft\u2019s<\/em> Dark Secret, both of which are well worth your time.<\/p>\n

It highlights the horror of having NPCs vomit exposition at you, and the terror of suddenly releasing that something they said might be important or even critical to some late-game quest. Yes, we realised too late that Elden Ring<\/em> doesn\u2019t have an option to replay or revisit dialogue but diving into a wiki would feel like cheating.<\/p>\n
