Wow, that's cool! 🎮 I would be happy to watch a series based on Elden Ring. I wonder how they will convey the atmosphere of the game on the screen?
Pierre
Olena, I'm in favor too! But I hope they don't screw things up like they often do with game adaptations. Although with George Martin, the chances of success are higher 😄
Sophia
And I think it can be even better than a game! Imagine all those incredible locations and battles on the big screen 🤩 Wouldn't that be awesome?
Hans
Sophia, I agree! Especially if they can attract good actors and create quality special effects. I wonder who could play the main character? 🤔
Giuseppe
Oh, and you. Some kind of fool again. I would rather write a new book than play with these toys and series. Just wasting time.
Olena
Giuseppe, don't be such a pessimist! 😊 This is a great opportunity for fans to see their favorite universe in a new format. And who knows, maybe it will inspire Martin with new ideas for books!
Maria
But I think it could be a great way to bring a new audience into the Elden Ring universe. Not everyone plays games, but many will watch the series 🍿
Jakub
I wonder if they will be able to convey the complexity and challenge of the game? 🤔 Because Elden Ring is famous for its difficult mechanics. How to show it in the series so as not to lose the essence?
