I'd rather more time was devoted to the voice of my Tarnished, with only limited noises available for the odd grunt or death cry. Do we really need bone structure? I couldn't help laughing. The amount of detail you can input into a character's design is comprehensive, if not bordering on ridiculous. The opening half a dozen hours or so were rough as a result, something that impacted my enjoyment alongside the abundance of jargon presented during that same time. Levelling up in Elden Ring takes time and not until the second demigod is destroyed can you reallocate stats. I chose a Confessor, one who is designed for magic but in truth, I just liked the look of him and began building his stats to play more like a Vagabond (more hand-to-hand combat). Outside of choosing Body Type (male or female), Elden Ring offers 10 different classes to build your character: Vagabond, Warrior, Hero, Bandit, Astrologer, Prophet, Samurai, Prisoner, Confessor, Wretch. Players can create their own unique Tarnished from an extensive (and I mean extensive) character maker.

Note that the exploit doesn't affect the console versions of these games at all, and because of that, online services have not been shut down on Xbox or PlayStation.(Image credit: Bandai Namco / FromSoftware) FromSoftware has confirmed that it will announce when it plans to resume Dark Souls online services as soon as it has information to share. However, 'due to the time required to set up proper testing environments,' the servers for Dark Souls won't come back online until after Elden Ring is out.

The developer says that the exploit will be patched in time for Elden Ring's release, so players don't need to worry about this exploit when playing FromSoftware's new action RPG later this month. The servers were originally shut down due to a dangerous Remote Code Execution (RCE) exploit that allows someone to potentially steal information off of your computer, and while the Blue Sentinels mod for Dark Souls III temporarily fixes the vulnerability, FromSoftware is currently developing a permanent fix for the issue for all of the Dark Souls games. Developer FromSoftware has announced that the servers for the Dark Souls series on PC - including Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition, Dark Souls: Remastered, Dark Souls II, and Dark Souls III - will remain offline until after Elden Ring launches on Feb.
