thinking about how, in the grand tradition of fromsoft games, Elden Ring puts so much detail into passive npc behaviors
there's the Misbegotten raising their arms in triumph at Castle Morne
a wormface kneels in front of a grave in the Altus Plateau. you can kill him and pick up the item on the grave: a st trina lily.
in the Consecrated Snowfields, you can find a nobleman trapped waist-deep in the snow, and two other noblemen trying to dig him out
and, in the same area, a pack of wolves chases the light from a scarab moving beneath the snow
Chanting Winged Dames always singing in Latin. they sit in a circle, almost meditatively. translated into English, one line reads "We have lamented and we have shed tears but no one consoles us"
deep underground in the Ancestral Woods, a Shaman sings over a cliffside; behind them, a dozen small rats listen
there's SO MUCH MORE but i cant remember them all right now.
