Putting the Souls back in Soulslike
When I’m playing Elden Ring, I still call runes “Souls”, sites of grace “bonfires”, flasks Estus, etc etc. So I decided to validate myself and changed as many instances I could find of each word.
SOULSLIKE
Definitely my favorite genre of video game. Lately, I’ve been playing using Seamless Co-op with a couple of friends, but I, being one of the few Souls veterans in my friend group, keep calling everything by their old names. So I just validated myself by making this and decided to share it. I didn’t change any models or anything like that, just the names (for now). Runes are now Souls, Flasks of Tears are now Estus Flasks, Sites of Grace are now Bonfires, so on and so forth. I originally made this from Moxie Gameplay while merging another mod, so if there’s dirty edits let me know, I did swap out the regulation file I was using with the vanilla one, but some of the text might still be from Moxie, but the effects and everything should be vanilla. Rune Arc, the Great Runes, and instances of Grace are left as is because they still work in the context of it being a different game than the other 4, so Grace Mimic isn’t called “Bonfire Mimic”
Changelog
Version 1: Changed every instance of “rune” in the context of the currency to “soul”, ie Golden Runes are Golden Souls (I thought about that as I was writing this changelog, I’ll be renaming those better later). Changed every instance of “sight of grace” to “bonfire.” Changed “Flask of Crimson Tears” to “Estus Flask” and “Flask of Cerulean Tears” to “Ashen Estus Flask.”
