Elden Ring Runes' latest first-person mod causes it to be a little bit more like Skyrim, but harder

Elden Ring is nice. But let's say you took the normally third-person action RPG and turned it right into a first-person adventure much like Skyrim or Fallout. What would that appear to be like? How would it play? Well, a brand new mod answers those questions in a slick and well-made manner.

FromSoftware’s giant open-world third-person epic, Elden Ring, is an extremely good game, as you would expect. In fact, you can say 2022 was the entire year of Elden Ring, with FromSoftware’s latest RPG overtaking the world; it appeared like everyone was playing or at best talking about this satisfyingly difficult game. So it shouldn’t really be changed. What FromSoftware made has already been cool and successful. However, that hasn’t stopped modders from tinkering, with a recently released first-person mod that may well be a great way for veteran Elden Ring players to see the game again from a brand new perspective.

“First Person Souls - Full Game Conversion” may be the not-so-catchy title of the mod released late recently for the PC version of Elden Ring. As the name implies, this mod changes the whole game and causes it to be a first-person RPG. While other modders have attempted this before, this may be the best implementation of the idea, using the folks behind it spending “many months” making Elden Ring feel right while playing within this radically changed perspective.

The people behind the mod (also called ERFPS) observe that it “enhances your first-person experience” with additional features, for example, custom-created HUD elements, new animations, custom head tracking, attack indicators, smoother running, changes towards the player’s movement, and much more modifications to regulate the “overall feel” of elden ring runes.

Since the first release on March 24, the modders have updated it and fixed issues. They also recently added a far more powerful version of Elden Ring’s kick, which is great, as all first-person games require a god-like kick. It’s just fun to smash baddies across a roadmap using your foot.

ERFPS can be obtained to download on Nexus Mods. While it’s currently only for that Windows version of the sport, it’s simple to set up and you will toggle various of their features, in the event you don’t like some of the more drastic, gameplay-related changes.
