[alt text: a semi-surreal meme image on a plain white background. Two characters from Dark Souls are saying, "My lord, we have absolutely ESSENTIAL lore information for the player. Should we make a cutscrene for it?". They are looking at Hidetaka Miyazaki, who has the From Software logo emblazoned over him, and he is replying, "NO...Put it in the description of a COOKBOOK". There are several cookbook item icons floating between the characters.]
It's nonsense because it is boring and generic.
You could have just not read it and it wouldn't change a thing.
Is it generic? It seems pretty rich in Elden Ring when compared to most games.
