As usual, this is not about quality or which is better. Both great games with very different strong points (open world vs action combat, etc) This is just for fun.
The most recent elder scrolls game and the most recent fromsoft game.
A friend and I were discussing how amazing it was that elden ring managed to keep both of us playing for over 100 hours easily, while we struggle to clock 30 hours in most games.
Another notable game (that isn't open-ended like rimworld, factorio, dwarf fortress, space engineers, etc) to keep us for that long based mostly on exploration was Skyrim.
The two games achieve that longevity through different means though.
I'm sure something like 75% of my time in elden ring was spent killing things, trying repeatedly to kill things or inadvertantly running to explore an interesting location and ending up being forced to kill something instead.
Skyrim had more of an even balance between exploration, combat, questing, "dungeons" and "puzzles".
Which did you spend more time on for a first playthrough?
