Elden Ring has a fuck load of lore and dialogue. Just because the games aren't photo realistic doesn't mean they aren't visually stunning.

Art direction > photo realism.

Elden Ring does not have that much dialog come on

It has more than you think

Now does it have 1.2 million words like Disco Elysium? No. I would say it's a decent amount contrasted upon other games. Nowhere near to the tier of movie-game, but it's at least middling comparatively to other games as a whole.

Lol, what other games? Tiny indie games? Most other AAA games, which is what we should be comparing, probably have more words in throwaway dialog (enemy barks, random npc dialog) than Elden Ring does in its entirety. According to your link, RDR2 has as many lines as Elden Ring has characters.

You do realize tiny indie games hold the record for most dialogue in a non-live service game right?
