Elden Ring is by far my favorite Souls game, the world is easily the best I've ever seen in an open world game

Which is funny, because swordcanes won't SHIP to Canada (in about the five different websites I've checked)...but they're not illegal (I just checked), and there is a place in Canada that sells 'em (not THAT one, sadly).

Which means this is likely because of our stupid customs agents, who have 'wide latitude' to make interpretations of laws and decide what is illegal and what isn't. It's likely that swordcanes coming across the border have been seized or sent back so many times that the companies have just said 'eh, we're not sending to Canada any more'.

Same thing happens with Kerambits. Trench knives are illegal in Canada (NOT..because of the knife blade, but because of the fact that they are in essence brass knuckles, yes, you read that right, big fighting knives are not illegal but brass knuckles are, Canada has some freaking bizarre laws about melee weapons, freaking nunchaku are illegal here???). A Kerambit isn't a trench knife - there's a single ring on the butt of the grip, enough for one finger, that's all - but the border guards often confiscate them (for themselves, no doubt) or send them back because 'illegal'. When they're not. So nobody ships them to Canada (or very few people do - I know, it took me literally years to get mine, company after company explaining this to me).

Anyway, a swordcane is really no worse than a machete (easily hidden under a jacket and a much more dangerous weapon)...which is also perfectly legal in Canada.

*sighs*

Argle. I could get a very utilitarian sword-cane from Warriors and Wonders (Vancouver-based), but nothing like that gorgeous one.

All I got from this is Sharp very much wants to be a posh King Bradley

Elden Ring has consumed me the past like 3 weeks. I haven't cracked out this hard on a game in a while (and not at least gotten through a playthrough in the amount of time I've spent). 84 Hours in and I know there's at least 2 main areas i haven't even glimpsed yet.

someone posted a tagline for the review that was "there's always more" that sums it up perfectly

Lol I found one of the areas I knew was left and the size of the map still surprised me when it rescaled.

I've been playing a light, sneaky type, but ever since upgrading my endurance I decided to just put on heavier armor to protect myself that would still keep me out of the worst type of roll/dodge and somewhere along the way I became a poise monster unintentionally. Enemies hit me and my character doesn't even make the "hurt" sound. Explosive flasks don't even make my character flinch right now.

I fought a replicated version of an earlier boss spoilers:

Margit

end of spoilers and I legit just ignored half of his attacks while attacking with reckless abandon with my dual dagger setup and cut him down as fast as a Knight I might face in the open world. It's awesome, and hilarious, and I know it won't last because I think I'm overleveled for this area a bit too. But my fun is definitely on an upward swing at the moment, and I've already been deep into this world.
