Elden Ring's developers know most players use guides, but still try to cater to those who go in blind: 'If they can't do it, then there's some room for improvement on our behalf' (www.pcgamer.com)

Many players would say he failed on that with some of the NPC side quests already. The only one I thought was weird to follow using just what the game tells me was Millicent's, and specifically the final part of the quest. You have to kill a thing in a specific location that isn't really obvious, and then you have to reload the area again for a summon sign to appear (which even when you know where it is can be hard to see where it is). If not for that (or if there was some kind of fucking clue in the room or dialogue from the previous segment) I wouldn't have needed to use the wiki or a guide for any of them. As far as his games go, ER is the best in this regard, IMO.
