Someone needs to tell all these starving merchants in #ELDENRING that they wouldn't be hungry if they didn't set up their business on the side up a cliff near a hidden ladder half way up a volcano.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but powerful weapon arts, spells, ashen summons, etc., are not "cheesing", they're literally just playing the game with the tools provided. You wanna use 10sec infinite FP flask and comet azure? Go for it, it's still a victory.
In the 100+ hours I've put into Dragon's Dogma 2 I haven't needed a single MTX. Character changes, camping gear, wakestones, rift crystals, portstones, etc.
All of this is obtained in game just playing. Literally, just play the game and you get all this stuff.
Using a mod to increase my party to 6 in Baldur's Gate 3 since I find having more of the gang around is more fun and entertaining and holy shit the amount of crying is unreal.
