Elden Ring: My Maiden Is a Chatty Beauty

After reading this, I understand why the comment below sounds like something written by Shapley. If the developers really designed the player-Melina interaction and plot development this way in the game, when they get to the part where the tree is burned at the giant's hotpot, I reckon even the entire family tree of the developers wouldn't be enough to warrant a lot of cursing. The original character was like a block of wood, barely uttering a single line of dialogue with the Faded Ones based on her own will (except during the Mad Fire segment). Her most frequent lines were repetitive and contradictory, with the only attempt to add a touch of girlishness coming from a few lines exchanged with the Teardrop Sister in the scrapped draft. And so, when it came to the tree-burning part, the players were all in a terrible state. I can't even imagine what it would have been like if it had been Melina, with her talkative, girlish style, that was being burned.

Which train station will they kiss goodbye at? #(Funny)

Chapolis: Yes, that's how it should be written. Then tell him that the only way to save Melina is to learn the Fire Frenzy!

When I first entered the game, I met a beautiful girl, and I was very happy. I felt that this time, Soul would give me a different kind of color. But as I went deeper into the game, no matter where I went, people would call me "the faded one without a shrine maiden". At that time, I didn't know the setting and thought that my shrine maiden, Melina, was right here. But as I delved deeper into the game and understood the setting, I realized what the priestess was, and I also clearly understood that Melina and I were just cooperating, and that we might not even be considered friends at all. When she jumped into the pot, I was somewhat moved, but not because of feelings, just because of a physical reluctance. What exactly are we? Was your willingness to jump in purely for your own mission, or did you acknowledge that I am your king? In my second playthrough, I rejected Melina. I couldn't accept having a "companion" who didn't show any emotions by my side. I chose to walk this path alone. The Faded One in the first playthrough was lonely. I thought things would change in the second playthrough, but what was the use of saving my friends even though I tried my best? When I ascended the throne, I was still all alone. I stumbled upon this book, and it made me wonder, what if my witch were like this? A cute, clueless little girl, fantasizing about her epic fantasy with the future king. Excited, she stayed up all night, washed herself clean, and went to the chapel early the next morning, hoping her king would see her beautiful self when he woke up, and hopefully praise her a couple of times, otherwise all her dressing up would be for nothing. Then comes her daily life with the future great King of Elden. Riding her pony behind me, she complains about the bumpy ride; before bed, she meticulously calculates how to spend the runes she's earned; she carries a bunch of trinkets she's haggled over from merchants, asking for my praise; after I learn a new combat skill, she shouts how cool it is; when healing me, she scolds me for being careless… Later, when she tries to jump into the pot, I'll probably become the next future King Vick, but unlike Vick, I might take my little witch directly to Rani. Compared to that meaningless throne, the people around me are more important. At that moment, she might puff out her cheeks like a pufferfish? It would be interesting to poke her and see her get discouraged. Unfortunately, the Melina in the game can't do this. The Melina in the book is very similar to the one I imagined, but in my eyes, she can't be Melina. Melina, you who are like a mist, what were you thinking when you leaped into the flames? Damn, I wrote so much without even realizing it! I feel pretty embarrassed looking at it myself 😂. I can't bear to delete it, so I'm posting it here for everyone's amusement.

I remembered a story I saw on Bilibili about the initial little witch in the chapel. If we could have arrived at the border earlier Perhaps then we wouldn't need to learn those healing prayers that we're not good at. No need to carry those pungent mosses. Even when wielding a greatsword in both hands, the body still shimmers with the light of the golden tree. She should be a lively, cheerful, and optimistic girl, with an impatient personality. Having heard too many tales of heroes, and growing impatient with the Great Blessing, he finally came alone to the dilapidated chapel to witness the first encounter between the king and the witch, a scene he had rehearsed countless times in his mind. We will have our own room at the Great Blessing. She'll become friends with Rodrigo, whisper secrets to Fia, ask Burke to shorten her long skirt, and Mr. Colin's lessons will be much easier. She would help me calculate how to allocate runes, choose suitable weapons with me, and go to the river to bathe Toret while I was polishing my greatsword. She would blush and ask a wandering merchant for a discount on a large bundle of feathered arrows, while stuffing boiled shrimp into her mouth and complaining that a rogue was staring at her face, and tirelessly researching how to make the bionic teardrop resemble her. When it rains, we hold our jellyfish shields above our heads together. How many more people do I need to meet to fill this void? If only the story could be rewritten from the very first sentence. We can sit together beside the blessing and discuss an ending that satisfies both of us.

Shapoli: Yes, that's how it should be written.

A reassuring criminal record, I love it! He's such a persistent genius who finished a game single-player! 😋

We already have yandere and landmines, and now we have a chatterbox.

Why does everyone like Melina so much? 🤔 I personally don't have any particular feelings about this character. She's definitely wooden, and it feels like she doesn't interact with the player much. 🤔 It would be even better if there was a hand-holding scene every time she levels up, but without it, it feels a bit disconnected. However, there's no doubt that Ringbound is a great game. I bought it at the end of last year after my exams, and I played it for over ten hours every day. As a result, I almost forgot to buy my train ticket home for Chinese New Year. I finally managed to snag one, and then, carrying a huge pile of luggage, I finally made it to our local station... And then... At each train station, a farewell kiss will be exchanged 🥰, the wind and roses only chatter incessantly when parting 🌹, you and I look up at the snow ❄, waiting for God to shatter the lies piece by piece 😇, in which years will we compromise 😖, you slowly withdrawing from your fingertips is an aesthetic 🥺, once fanning up love and then casting it away 💔, leaving me to see the road ahead in darkness 👿, drinking snow on the snow-capped mountains and listening to the wind's lament 💨, listening to it tell of the bouquet of roses you received 🌹, using the swirling snow to replace my tears 😭😭😭😭, sending you the bright spring ☀, I am invincible, hiding my feelings in obscurity 💜, only the bright moon knows the magnificent process 🌕, how poignant and sorrowful it is, only I can truly understand 😢, just like snow falling in winter ❄, not particularly special 😔
