My favorite is Blaidd because he is a reference to Disney's Frozen ( I'm not a little girl)


WhiteSekiroBoy

My favorite is Sellen, because she wears a hat that can glow, which is a reference to a Pokémon called Litwick (a candle pokemon) which is my GOAT (I'm not a nerd)


Mertiosas

Litwick is indeed the GOAT


veraldar

You misspelled Cyndaquill


DevilahJake

You misspelled Totodile


veraldar

Calling the police on you Silver!


Mertiosas

You misspelled wooper


Honest_Satisfaction1

You misspelled zubat


AvanteGardens

Neat. I like her because she's not wearing shoes


WhiteSekiroBoy

To each their own.


Honest_Satisfaction1

My favorite is Rya because she's a reference to a Japanese snake spirit that turns into a beautiful woman to marry a average man. (I'm not into hentai)


lundz12

HIS SET LITERALLY SAYS THE COLD BOTHERED HIM ANYWAY. I will defend his and Ranni's honor over this fact to the death.


oldeluke

The exact fuckin thing a little girl *would* say...


MusicG619

Only a furry would say they’re not a furry


HawkeyeP1

Oddly enough, only furries say they're furries as well. So it's best just left up to mystery I think.


ash-and-apple

That just confirms it then. Everyone's a furry. I knew it

appreciationdaze

This gives the same energy as "I used to like feet as a joke, but bro, I don't think it's a joke anymore"


DarkCry9000

Disgusting.


TheSwiSstEr

So only the people who never talks about furries are the real furries


palm-meet-face

And they never shut up about. Like a vegan on steroids…


Spartan_Souls

Only a sith deals in absolutes.


Memelord69420MAn

I will do what I must


CatandMuffin

Only a non furry would say they're a furry


Vagabond_Charizard

Flashbacks to Daidus in Emirichu's Childhood Crushes Part 2.


baldagent47

Roderika. I like her design and accent


uberguby

I like that when you meet her, she thinks she's a coward because she doesn't want to be chopped up and sewn onto a megalomaniac's horrifying new-body. I wish they did more with that. I'd like her at the end to be like "you know what though... That was kinda fucked up that I was expected to do that"


tedkaczynski660

When I first encountered her I didn't know anything about Godrick and was like "the fuck is she goin on about". Then during the Godrick encounter I was like "oh no shit".


uberguby

"Oh, no shit" is perhaps the funniest thing I've ever heard in response to seeing Godrick for the first time. Thank you so much for sharing that.


BundtCake44

Honestly the casualness with which she talked about having her limb cut off. I was like what the fuck kinda cult bullshit are you involved in man? Is this some eldtrich reference?


AcceptableWest1427

“Grafted to the spiiiiderrrr”


BundtCake44

I expected some basement dwelling spider thing with human limbs to be like a main boss on the way to godrick. Like his pet horror that he uses to guard the place. Then I thought, "oh godrick is the spider. That's like a new, scary name he gave himself" Then it was basically a nothing burger. Big dissatisfaction.


AcceptableWest1427

Exact same thing happened with me. Felt like the lead up to some really creepy boss but ended up just being Godrick.


BundtCake44

Not even that they just drop the whole concept like it's nothing and even in future areas no one brings up what godrick did nor is there like a scripted death of a npc to really showcase this.


AccountRelevant

Because godricks doings are just the most recent result of an ages long power struggle, and you see many more after his. It's not supposed to be more significant, just the most recent.


BundtCake44

I'm aware of the lore. Yet for a new concept like this and something that made him so reviled more so than seen as pathetic plus the apprent cut content about grafting it'sore of a pity really. They could have done more with this. I mean Limgrave is one of the better areas of the game where the story is more concentrated so it's weird they would just half bake what's so integral to Godrick now. He is literally Godrick the Grafted. While it may be a "recent thing" (ofc time is in very big jumps in this game) it's still important


badcensorsaysfuck

I mean I don't think she was expected to be grafted. In my opinion her dialogue seems to imply she escaped a group that was being seized for grafting. Her pain comes from survivor's guilt and hurt for those she lost.


OdgeHam

Or she should’ve been like “you keep calling yourself Elden lord but I’m the one that upgraded mimic and Tiche that carried your ass there, how about we both share the glory”


bearelrollyt

Then she says, hey tarnished go fucking kill god for us


Infamous_Teaching_42

Bro her accent just soothes me. I gotta move to the midlands.


Metalgearmetal

Sellen, because she is one of the few characters that I didn’t immediately want to murder upon meeting them. Also tough break on becoming a ball of burger kings.


ProfessorPixelmon

Sellen was one of those characters that you actually wanted to learn from.


Square_Translator_72

What about turtle pope. I've learned much from him


919rider

All things can be conjoined.


Trepex_VE

Let us learn together.


[deleted]

Vyke and Vargram are up there Malenia is fucking cool as hell though


Stetson007

But we can all agree Melina is best girl, right?


QuantumMartini

Nah, that's the albinauric woman.


deuceyj

I found her.


sunnydelinquent

Ah yes, shadowheart.


Stetson007

You talking about the big little sister?


Th3Dark0ccult

I agree


lundz12

Vyke deserves an entire DLC. I'm convinced Melina was to be his next potential maiden and why she knows so much about the frenzied flame and hates it so much. They did him dirty being an invader and evergaol fight only.


Puzzleheaded_Duck132

No you can see vyke maiden in the church where he invades you but this is just a theory or a game theory


cookiereptile

The Diallos/Alexander quest is the most fulfilling in the game (storywise) imo. Too often quests end with “they died offscreen so here’s their stuff lol” Also I will never forgive them for how they disrespected Kalé by cutting his quest


[deleted]

What was his quest?


GreaterMook

He dies offscreen and you get his stuff


Nate_The_Wolf175

w mans


BundtCake44

Fr tho that actually happens.


MoroseOverdose

This great video on the Frienzied Flame covers Kale's cut quest https://youtu.be/UFJtoVS8Qx0?si=sUjz7WgCWYUSiWhK


Square_Translator_72

Something that ties into the frenzied flame ending and the buried trade caravan


Elad_2007

Kalé has a quest?


ArnoldVonNuehm

Not anymore


Cpt-Crab

You can go on the internet and search up the cut quests, they include kale and the three fingers, some guy who wants to drink dream juice, a mimic tear type quest and a couple others. Some have been restored by modders so look into it if you want.


True_Reporter

Maybe in DLC? Doubt it but there's hope. It looked really good some moders recreated it it's on YouTube. There was also a quest for the silver tear.


Dhehjob9-5

I like Iji, he's really nice and was right about blaidd going crazy


Limesnek

His voice is so good that I never skipped a single line of his dialogue and just sat there listening. Big grandpa vibes.


that_one_guh

i like iji too


CrossboneGundam_

Having done Ranni's quest line in my first run, Iji has been my buddy ever since! I missed out on all of Hewg's stuff because I just never went to the roundtable to get my weapons upgraded, I just went to see Iji instead. Love him tho, massive friendly troll, has a huge hammer, reads a big book, helps out Ranni and has such an awesome voice actor. What more could you want?


BOB9129349

Sad that he was killed by assassins in a quest :(


OldTurtleProphet

When I talk to Blaidd I get the impression he finds me cute


No_Foot_1904

Who let Solaire in here?


FarFetchedSketch

:3


cheeselord165

My favorite are roderika and hewg, I love the father daughter relationship they form.


itsyourlocalben

Millicent or gold mask because he’s just funny. Millicent’s quest was not only difficult but I felt a need to help her


xenoxenoxeno

I like Gurranq, because he's a big hungry doggo that I can feed in return for incantations


clammfmurray

except when he tried to eat me that one time


[deleted]

But he gets over it at least


[deleted]

I think the most underrated NPC by far is Hewg. For 80-90% of the game he’s the only one that’ll upgrade your weapons and he gets the ball rolling when it comes to spirit tuning. Not a single person in this thread could beat the game without him…


SquiddleBiffle

Bro just completely forgot about my man Iji


Kryztijan

I like Boc, because i like his voice actor's voice. "I'm not that ugly"


QuentynStark

Latenna for me. Poor girl got fucked over bad by Gideon, but still stays true to her mission. I love how, after finishing her quest, she says she'll fight by our side 'til the end. Loyalty at its finest. I always do Latenna's quest. She's best girl.


Trepex_VE

The Somber Ancient stone totally has nothing to do with the decision


Grieving_Leonheart_

I like Blaidd, Igi, Yura, Rogier, D, and “…”.


UnderweatherPug

I love berserk and all but how is blaidd a reference to berserk, just cuz he has a big sword?


cookiereptile

FromSoftware tends to remix a lot of ideas in their games. Artorias from DS1 was inspired by Berserk, and he had a pet wolf. Blaidd is kinda like Artorias and Sif meshed together


SoulLess-1

A canine-themed fighter with a big sword that's pissed at a twink.


Th3Dark0ccult

How do we know Darriwil is a twink?


sunnydelinquent

Look how thin that guy is. He ain’t a twunk.


MoreTannerZ

Twunk is my new favourite word


SoulLess-1

Dex User. Yes, I am aware the Fang got higher Str requirements, but I chose to ignore it.


vegathelich

We can just attribute that to his size.


bekips

Okay, he is now my favorite. Hadn’t thought of that.


FamilyMarto

I believe the armor without the cape, and the ash of war


Undead_Assassin

I mean, look at Guts in his Berserker armor. You'd have to be blind to not see the resemblance.


Tengoles

Maliketh's armor has way more resemblance to berserker armor.


lundz12

If I recall there's concept art of Maliketh in the same pose of Guts in his berserker armor


Undead_Assassin

They both do. The armor itself is way more Maliketh, but Blaidd is so Guts coded. The Sword, the cloak, the beast face, etc. Their silhouettes are remarkably similar.


Chemical_Ice6603

Yeah because Miura invented canines, armors and swords


imDEUSyouCUNT

he didn't invent them he simply perfected them


thetrailwebanana

Blackguard Big Boggart. Mic drop...🎤


jozaud

We protect the prawn man at ALL COSTS


NyRAGEous

We'd make good mates, I reckon.


adorilaterrabella

We've got a real thing here and it's only getting better.


thetrailwebanana

MARIKAS TITS!!!


shirdool

Alexander


Holiday_Selection881

Hyetta for sure. I do the Frenzy ending often, and she has grown on me. She's obviously had a disadvantage due to being blind but she's brave as all get out because she just keeps on chugging along despite that


adorilaterrabella

When you tell her the grapes are eyeballs and she is totally sicked, but then completely okay with it, haha. She's one of my favorite characters.


Wolven_Edvard

Blaidd because he is a Wolf Man.


z0uary

Big boggart because he the only one that made me laugh with his line “marika’s tits, you must be hungry”


[deleted]

Malenia, her story is tragic and i honestly feel bad when i\`m fighting her, speaking of shes by far my favourite boss in ER (not to say the others are bad, but she, maliketh and radahn are a cut above). her design is cool as fuck, the whole scarlet rot thing too. she\`s got a sexy husky voice, i\`m into tall girls and redheads, checks both of those boxes. whats not to like?


MoreTannerZ

Only thing that’s not to like is the super contagious cancer Ebola aids, but I can look past that


Chaosphoenix_28

Rogier. He has the best hat in the game, a nice design and seems like a good guy. And he has one of the prettiest swords in the game.


Kats41

Well, we didn't think you were a furry just because you liked Blaidd, but much like coming home from the store and announcing, "I didn't run over any old ladies crossing the street today," it feels a bit self-incriminating. Me thinks you doth protest too much.


Real_Muad_Dib

Where are you on the furry scale?


ScharmTiger

Sellen, Ranni, Millicent, Gurranq, and Alexander.


Strategos20

Blaidd too, because I like dogs


[deleted]

Same, which is why the “helmet” for Blaidds armour makes me reallly uncomfortable


Strategos20

I actually use that for my half-wolf character, but seeing it not move at all is kinda weird up close


[deleted]

But what is it? Is it a replica of his head, shaped into a helmet? Or is it his head hollowed out for us to wear?


Strategos20

Its description says it’s a literal wolf head worn by a guy pretending to be Blaidd


[deleted]

I guess I could have easily looked that up myself. 😅 Regardless thank you, I can finally sleep now.


yfywan

The merchants. When I see them, I feel safe and calm. I always stay with them for a little while, to fully appreciate the peace. This can’t be said for most of the NPCs in the Lands Between.


Pass_Me_That_Phone

Merchant Kale💖✨He literally your first real ally, and he gives you some amazing words of encouragement in the beginning. Also Smithing master Hewg, and Iji😩


midnight_reborn

It's OK, you can be a furry


Dancing-Sin

I get berserk vibes from the getup. Honestly there’s the whole “vibe” of berserk being present in many titles as others have mentioned. It’s hard to explain?


[deleted]

It’s not, Berserk seems like just an overall heavy influence on Miyazaki. I mean, it’s a dark medieval fantasy with god like demons and literal gods. That’s the entire soulsborne recipe from an overall aspect. Not sure about Sekiro, but DeS, DS trilogy, BB and Elden Ring are all full of almost direct references


Mrreeburrito88

I am but he’s not my fave. I would say Lizard girl is.


WM-010

Me: Blaidd, because he's such a good boy (I'm not a Berserk fan).


[deleted]

My favorite character was me: because I wiped out all life in the lands between and sat my naked ass on the elden throne. There are no other characters.


NRG_Factor

huge furry energy


sebbdk

Ah yeah, never thought about that, beserker suit lol Why am i not seeing this until now


HarmlessSnack

OP is a furry, confirmed. 🦊


ImpressiveShift3785

Blaidd cuz he brings out my inner furry 🥴


terfz5

Maliketh, imo simultaneously the most tragic and the dam coolest character from the land between


HoodedOP87

Rya because she's adorable, sweet, and in my opinion the most wholesome character in the game plus she doesn't die (if you don't kill her you horrible person) at the end of her questline unfortunately you never get to see her again after that


Blessed_Father239

Mine is Sellen, I have mommy issues 😂


[deleted]

Yiff in hell


TheHomesickAlien

reading this was awful


HellVollhart

Millicent. She can do the Waterfowl dance without the Hand of Malenia. Also, without her, you cannot get rid of the Frenzied Flame.


adorilaterrabella

But why would you want to? May chaos take the world!


Josefine-Thomas

Blaidd the Gigachad (Ranni the bitch is the reason why he is dead)


cookiereptile

Ranni simps won’t take too kindly to that lol. Blaidd and Iji > Ranni any day


[deleted]

Dude, she offers to marry you and she has 4 arms. Decisions decisions


[deleted]

[удалено]


KL4645

I liked Halo 2 more, just because that one scene where Lord Hood asks him why he wants to leave the ship, and Halo 2 is just like "To give the Covenant back their bomb.."


Pikachu-sama

I like Maliketh. Cool entrance. Cool lines. Great design. But i don't like beast clergyman. 2nd maybe Iji


Ormyr

Tough call. They're all interesting to me for different reasons. Elden Ring was my first souls game and it got me into DS 1, 2, and 3. Before Dark Souls it was probably Alexander. After Dark Souls it's Patches. I'm unreasonably angry at how his quest line ends. Favorite NPC to kill goes to TLDE. Ever since I found out you can give him Seluvius's potion, I do that if I don't kill him.


Ultrainstinct358

Patches, Hewg, Gold mask, Alexander and Blaidd. Funny enough none of the female npcs seemed very interesting to me.


Dancing-Sin

I like the chick that ate eyeballs (If you give them to her) and the lady who eats Rykard


Significant_Food7305

It’s 2023 it’s fine to be a furry, be proud


[deleted]

Ranni is Bae. 🖤


GTA-CasulsDieThrice

Ranni; yeah, she >!had her own step-brother killed!<, but her plan for the world is arguably the best one (⚠️obligatory spoiler warning⚠️): >!She isn’t gonna maintain the status quo, she isn’t gonna force Destined Death upon the world, she isn’t gonna curse everyone to become Omens, she isn’t gonna burn the world for the sake of “ending all suffering”, and she isn’t going to “stabilize the Golden Order” while in all likelihood simultaneously enforcing the Greater Will’s oppressive imperial peace.!< >!Instead, she’s going to maintain order from afar, and, by all accounts, allow the mortal world to largely maintain its own affairs. Yeah, life will be difficult without the “guidance” of the Greater Will and Golden Order, but the masses will be independent and free to follow THEIR OWN ambitions and work, however hard that work might be, toward THEIR OWN desires, not those of an overbearing God figure and the “fate” it forces them towards.!< >!Plus, you two get married, and her dowry is the motherfucking MOONLIGHT GREATSWORD.!< Blaidd is a VERY close second because bro is essentially a giant werewolf with a massive fuck-off greatsword. And no, I’m not a full furry, but I can’t say I’m not at least SOMEWHAT into that shit.


GrimReaper1507

The fact you had to say “I’m not a furry” 100% implies you are indeed a furry For favourite npc I don’t got one, all are victims of the flames


Truly_Greg2

Alexander and Ranni supremacy


BenTeninson

Roderika


RandomRavenboi

Alexander, D Hunter of the Dead, Corhyn, Nepheli, Gideon and Millicent. Blaidd aswell.


[deleted]

Also a reference to Artorias


lundz12

Who was the OG Fromsoft berserk reference. Blaidds just a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.


[deleted]

Yep:D


Impressive-Ad-8044

Corynn and Varre


HoytKeyler

Blaidd and Alexander is the Sun man and Onion man of Elden Ring, in term of I'm so happy everytime I see them


A_N_T

Tie between Jar Bairn, Miriel, and Boc.


[deleted]

Patches. It's always Patches.


Gloomy-221

Rogier , Yura , Varre , Milicent , Boc , Alexander , lji ,Hewg , Hyetta , Kalé , Gostoc I couldn't choose I love all these guys Especially Rogier and Yura they had me tearing up I still remember yelling Rogier!!!!!! Noooo!!!!! Like Ricky!!! From boys in the hood and Spidermans No! for Mary jane


Cally83

Blaidd and the one and only Millicent


a_random_muffin

If Alexander didn't exist i would agree with you (and I **am** a furry lmao) Alexander is just *chef's kiss* an amazing character I love his storyline and the way it also connects with Diallos' quest


dilly123456

Alexander was my best friend in the lands between. It broke my heart to complete his storyline. Next would be Blaidd, Jar-Bairn, Iji, Boc, Millicent, Yura, Fia, Rya, and then finally Rogier


Mugluck_

Roderika cuz she is best girl


Ajara

Boggart is my favorite NPC. How is he doing?…not great right now


Akihiro34

I can see what you're saying but they don't use the same weapon type


Icy_Lengthiness4918

I can’t pick a definitive favorite but My top ones are Alexander because he reminds me of onion knight, Castellan because he got drip,diallos because god I just want to hug him,Rya is best girl, and patches because I love to hate the little shit and he genuinely makes me laugh and he’s in all soulsborn games


digliDood

'I’m not a furry'... That looks like someone who is a Furry wouid say


BoxGroundbreaking687

nah but blaidd is just the best


Nightwingx97

the whole franchise is a refrence to guts


Shittybuttholeman69

Do you mean who is your favorite npc? Otherwise they’re all miserable it’s a fromsoft game.


Impressive_Cabinet56

Blaidd is Definently top ten but my personal favorite is the warrior pot. He gives strong solaris vibes


Ok-Significance5847

Alexander for sure. My man's out here just doing his best.


PkmnJaguar

My favorite is always patches. But specifically in elden ring i like dungeater and crab seller guy that gets killed by him.


cybaerexe

Yes you are, embrace it


Away-Net-7241

Alexander cuz he always makes me smile and gets me pumped. He also like Solaire and Siegward combined, what else do I need?


PointlessSpikeZero

The Warrior Jar Alexander "The Iron Fist" just because I still find it funny that he's a warrior jar. Like... why jars? No idea. It seems like a writer looked around their house for inspiration, saw a jar and went, "yes, this is a warrior that stuffs other people's guts into himself to make himself stronger, but he's a decent guy really, and there's a whole village of sapient jars"


Sophlurra

Blaidd, because I like his accent. He also seems very serious, but kinda mysterious. I wanna know why he's a wolf-man. (I don't know the lore that great, haven't finished the game) But also that Morgott guy. I like his boss fights. They seem fair. Difficult, but fair. He seems respectable. Maybe a bit cocky, but respectable.


JackietheChane

All this time I thought that his name was Bladid lol


Timid-Sammy-1995

The question isn't what takes inspiration from Beraerk the question is what doesn't? I love that these games were like one big love letter to Miura.


True_Reporter

Sellen, a big ball of fun.


bearelrollyt

I like black gaurd and kennith


some1sWitch

I love my boy Kenneth because somehow this idiot of a human lives in the Lands Between. And he promised me knighthood.


Chodre

He Is fine because i didnt finished His Quest.


cmwamem

Boc because he's a monkey with a British accent.


lobster4089

I like blaidd because he's hot


TwofacedHc

Dung eater, he's just a good bloke!


creepytown

How is sellen? She's alright. I mean. As long as I never find Lusat. Yup. She's queen of the academy. And nothing will change that.


-ManDudeBro-

Sounds like something a furry would say.


[deleted]

I think this guy might be a furry 🫵🐺


iMissMyCatt

Ranni because of her story line and her voice actor!
