One thing that Elden Ring gets right is Naming Things. Fantasy names often feel fake or forced. Real world names feel right even if you're hearing one for the first time. Maybe its because of some shared proto-indo-european roots that we subconsciously grok. Crumbling Farum Azula though, hits right.

Tolkien also has a similar characteristic. Perhaps because of how much time he spent building the linguistic world behind LotR.

Tolkien so goated All hits no misses with the naming, beyond the names of places even down to the names of the characters. I see a remake of the original LOTR trilogy in a not so distant future!
