Hi

This DLC was what finally got me into Elden Ring. Can't even fathom to describe the artistic impact this game had on me, one of my biggest inspirations so far. Here are some selected artworks on the occasion!

“Miquella awaits his promised consort”

Radahn: new phone who dis

Malenia: Radahn I'm standing right here

Radahn: I uh. Have important Space Business. Mgiht take a couple centuries.

Like, "thou" is the informal "you" in Old English, if I recall, before being switched around to the formal "you" (I think because of the Bible??). Yet in Elden Ring and all Soulsborne games as far as I know, people just use "thou" as a form of fancy speech to anyone.

Malenia is the only one who switched it. Maybe you could argue that she would use "thou" as a formal "you", out of respect? In that case, I think she would use it to address the Tarnished when defeated, cause like, they're the only person to have ever defeated her.

but then Miquella uses you with everyone

Morgott exclusively uses thou but Mohg uses you so it's not a generational / language evolution thing either

Florissax, who is much older than most bosses who talk to us, uses you

maybe thou is just for when you're feeling Dramatic(TM) in FromSoft games

Godfrey and Morgott might be my favourite examples cause damn, those two have some fire lines. 🔥🔥

"Long and hard didst thou fight!"
