Also, really confident that Age of Fracture and Age of Duskborn are the only good endings.
The Greater Will/Elden Beast crippled Marika/Radagon so there's no way for them to fuck things up again. They're basically just cursed to be the Elden Ring now. Which is fair because they were horrible rulers.
Which means, provided that your Elden Lord is not a cunt, they're the best option for the Lands Between. Ranni outright confirms that Age of Stars destroys the current world. Which is a big nope from me. Basically, Frenzied Flame but with ice pussy.
