I played my first playthrough alos with easy mode. I just have reflexes of a donkey and no one is ever going to congratulate me or care how i played elden ring back in 2022. But man the open world still itches me. No other game besides maybe subnautica hooked my will to explore like that. Tried second one without and got to ~80% of the game and gave up.

Been chipping away with Elden Ring, but I do use seamless coop for the off chance my friends want to join, and some easymode mod because I am so unbelievably bad at these games.
Having fun, but it’s funny when every time I think I could do with less easymode, some enemy absolutely curbstomps me. Maybe one day I can manage without:P
I do like how there’s very little waypoint-guidance, but some todo-list for things I have agreed to would be nice. But that’s the style, I guess.

I kinda wish the game would detect modding, or the easymode at minimum, and hold the achievements. I don’t particularly care one way or the other, but some soulslike-folks probably will get their panties in a twist for dilluting the global achievement-stats… maybe? But oh well.
The exploration aspect is pretty cool, there’s hidden tomb-dungeons etc everywhere. Other games where I’ve felt exploration was fun were Skyrim, Cyberpunk and (similarly to you) Subnautica.
