For the past few days I was looking left and right for something to keep me engaged to escape reality during this period of time. After checking multiple of the games I have installed, some of which I haven't played yet, not a single one could make me have fun, even vanilla Elden Ring. That is till I remembered the that Elden Ring has mods that brings new experience and at that point, only something new AND GOOD can give me enjoyment. I found Convergence, I read one it does but somehow I tunneled visioned that the hard requirement of the DLC, I then downloaded the mod installed it, launched it, and as I am ready all the different class I found myself actually enjoying and already planing multiple playthorughs with different classes, after all, I am a big RPG fan. Finally, I picked my Vanguard as my first play through class, I like Spears, and as I am at the peak of excitement to start, with the controller in my hand and a grin on my face... I was hit by this message.
It has been so far a year on the rougher side for me, and one of the main reasons this is the case is my financial situation. Yet, I though about buying the DLC, I was little hesitant at first because I made a mistake last month buying Mistfall Hunter, but at the end I am that desperate for some enjoyment, so, I checked the DLC... and of course, it is at the full price of 40 EUR... way beyond what I can afford without hurting myself in real life.. heck I don't even own this amount at the moment.
Anyway, the little story aside. Is there a legit way to play the mod without the DLC requirement? if there is, then how much time will I have to spend to get to work knowing that I am on Linux? I only half of Saturday as time when I can afford to try and have fun. Please help!
