Elden Ring's developers know most players use guides, but still try to cater to those who go in blind: 'If they can't do it, then there's some room for improvement on our behalf' (www.pcgamer.com)

Most players use guides to play that game?

Is that common these days?

It doesn't seem very fun.

It is very fun if you want to be sure that you aren't missing anything the game has to offer. You never know when a game may put something very obscure in a very limited timeframe.

In the case of elden ring or from software games in general NPC's are usually so cryptic that solving the puzzles/quests would take you a lot of trial and error which isnt very fun for me.

I'd love a Morrowind type journal to log some of that, totally get I can write things down outside the game, I'd just like to have that option in game especially as I can tend to jump around games and put them down for some time. They're almost there with the player map markers and NPC markers, even just having the ability to make notes in game would be big for me.

Its still kind of outside the game but steam has an in-built notes tool in the game overlay. I'd argue its still closer to being an ingame tool as it stores the notes per game. I don't really use the tool much but I wouldn't be surprised if it also works with non-steam games that you may have acquired through alternative means.

Didn't know that! Steam has some really nice features, steam input alone is amazing so I'll definitely give that a try.
