So the funny thing about the Ten Commandments is, the ones people are familiar with aren't even the "official" set. Moses destroyed the commandment slates when he saw the Isrealites doing the whole golden calf nonsense, so God had to whip up a fresh batch, and of course the first ten (I saw "first ten" because there's around 600 or so commandments but people only care about the first ten) of the new set don't match the first ten of the first set at all.

The only quest I'd call easy to screw up is Yura's since you need to spot a fairly out of the way summoning sign near Raya Lucaria and you fail it once you reach the mountaintops. Most important quests have a few failsafes where you can skip parts of them without doing any harm.

Upgrade your staff to at least +3.

Stop putting points into int to increase your damage by 1 per level, put them all into VIG instead until you're at like 30 VIG. Margit's entire job is to stat check whether or not you're ready to leave Limgrave or not, which is why the grace lights point you toward him immediately, and they do so right after Varre says "it will lead you Tarnished to the path you are meant to follow. Even if it leads you to your grave..."
Margit's a great example of gameplay telling a story.

Gameplay-wise, he teaches players not to just mindlessly follow the main path and to look around.
Story-wise, he's trying to cull new Tarnished who are going after Godrick the Grafted.

I'm finally getting started on a spellblade build I wanted to try, though the DLC will interfere with that when it comes out. Mostly got Limgrave cleared and I'm gonna search the Weeping Peninsula next. Having a debate with myself whether or not to grab the Meteorite Staff and rock sling from Caelid. Magic Glintblade and Carian Slicer are remarkably good for now basic they are.

Oh yes, because the GOP hasn't done anything to make mail-in voting a non-option. Maybe you can berate the people in Harris County, TX that only have a single drop-box for an entire county with a greater population than Rhode Island, and just tell them to vote harder. Perhaps you should appeal to the politicians that refuse to write laws requiring companies to provide their employees enough time to vote? Or perhaps you should give the parents working two jobs just to keep the lights on and fridge somewhat stocked a chewing out for not also finding the time to research all the candidates and ballot issues so they're not just choosing blindly.

Oh wait, are you assuming that voting doesn't actually take time? Are you assuming everyone is always plugged in to what's happening and is on top of how each party is trying to shape the country? That people should already know how to vote and can just speed through their ballot for every election, federal and local, because you can't grok that people are undecided?

The sheer naivete of the "Just vote harder!" crowd astounds me. You all seriously fail to understand how hard the Republicans have worked to make day-to-day living nearly impossible for the people in their states so that they don't have the energy to stay engaged politically. We had systemic dismantling of our civics classes to intentionally keep people from learning and understanding how our government functions so that it's easier to direct blame where they want it, rather than where it belongs.

And don't forget, media in this country is absolutely not on our side. Even the relatively left-wing outlets just plain aren't helping to sell Biden as deserving of a second term, and so many of them are instead determined to make Trump a viable candidate because a close election is better for their pocketbooks than the blowout that it should be. And if all people can do is make a cursory check-in, that's the information they're going to see, and that's what's going to inform their choice if they can make the effort to vote.

But hey, you're totally willing to throw out blase cliches about how Democracy is worth fighting for without understanding how little people have to fight with at this point. That will totally rouse people, tell them they're lazy and deserve the end of democracy if they don't overcome all the built-in barriers the GOP have put in place! Just vote harder, that's all people need to do!
Okay, but not everyone lives in people like Harris County. A lot of them are just angry Twitter users who don't understand there's limits to what Biden can and can't do and decided to just take their ball and go home because defeating the Republicans once didn't fix everything.
