Yeah! I just learned that fusing elemental items to shields adds elemental shockwaves when you block, and it really made me think more about my shield fusions

Someday you will feast on a tree frog…

All time favorite is BotW. Maybe controversial, but the soundtrack is so integrated to the games whole feel, while reimagining classic songs in the sparse, wistful way. After that, Im a big fan of the crpg Arcanum, its string quartet again is fantastic at evoking the time period of the game. I guess Im a big fan of when soundtracks are integral to the games feel, lol

Honestly, I think thats just a love it or hate it thing that I can totally see why it isnt for everyone and I dont blame you, but I personally love it and would hate to see it reduced/taken away. Once I leaned into it it really encourages me to explore and I enjoy the new fuse system enough that I like when a weapon breaks because Im excited to make a new one

Would you mind linking those posts? Im having a bit of trouble adjusting but there seems to be huge potential here.
