Saint going off on a rant about the immorality of the bail system is incredibly based.

[@ColorlessFog]

Just in case, gonna note that this charity is highly unlikely to put “bad” criminals back on the street while they await hearing/trial because those arrested on very serious criminal (non white collar) charges typically won’t have an option for bail in the first place. Again, just in case that thought was occurring to anyone watching.

[@silvasilva476]

@@James_Rustled It could be that the crime itself is bad but not necessarily the criminal themselves. Like self defense murder that doesn’t entirely meet the standards of the stand your ground state or something.

[@ColorlessFog]

@@silvasilva476 Exactly. It’s just a quick, positive comment on a very good discussion raised by Saint, not a legal brief. That guy’s reply was a very weird decision lol.

[@23Butanedione]

No you're completely wrong, look at NY for example. Getting rid of cash bail is destroying they city.

[@ColorlessFog]

@@23Butanedione surface level analysis imo, and that’s my hometown, but I’m not gonna bog down the comments on the video with political debate. Let’s all have fun with this Elden ring event!

I think they should make Bloodboon a Chargeable Incantation... Think about: When not charged you do the normal horizontal one that has a spread out, low damage and slow projectile BUT if you charge it you do a vertical one with less area coverage but higher damage and much faster projectile speed... Exactly like how Mohg does!

[@kidpresident_1475]

Hey saint. Really liked what you said about judicial system. I live in Portland Oregon -Thru away the better part of my adult life(15 years) addicted to heroin. Been to prison twice and probably headed back on March 6th for a Fed case (all drug stuff) despite having three years of clean time built up(been on pretrial for 3 years-did treatment, etc) .I had my first kid and that's what made me finally decide to get my life together. In that time since he was born I've started earning a degree for software development in Community College and done everything I can to try and become a man that he can look up to.Lost my own pops to fentanyl in2018. When I go I'll be missing a chunk of his life, I'll lose my car which I'm making payments on and it'll just be a really big setback for me. Anyways, it's easy to make mistakes in life that can snowball out of control quickly. Sometimes people simply are not afforded an opportunity to turn things around. For me it took getting on the right medication, and dealing with some childhood trauma. Anyways I've gone and told you my life story, but suffice it to say , I think that's a good cause you chosen to donate to.👍

[@LautrecOfCarim]

Joining a family and you DON'T get eaten by a big snake in the process? Feels like a revoltutionary concept in the Lands Between. Heh.

Gotta put it out there. Most entertaining Elden Ring content creator in my mind. Great attitude, interesting builds, chill vibe. Love it.

[@Gankstomper]

[@michaelnelson8618]

big agree, this dude is hilarious

[@HadalStreetlights]

Uncle Fester.

[@murderous1823]

I'm so glad someone said it

[@HadalStreetlights]

Random Trivia: Check out the 90s Addams Family movies. They slap. Christopher Lloyd (yes that one) plays Uncle Fester and is iconic. But the entire cast shines. Theyre closer to Rykard and his family, but if Rykard's fam is like the Addamses, they'll get along swimmingly

[@murderous1823]

@Shuur Monsters freaking love those movies. You're right, everyone was amazing in those

[@theiyrosthenes1639]

Guy trying to hurt you in the beginning while you buffed and then running for his life when you started attacking us the funniest fvcking thing

[@Anon2496]

Thank you for supporting that charity, Saint. Genuinely bail is so predatory. After all as I believe a great philosopher once said; "If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class."

[@MigorRortis]

Whom said that I like it

[@RayTC]

the elden ring wait was so long, yet it feels like it never happened

[@thePontiffsSnickerdoodles]

its like saint said during one of his ds3 invasion builds; now that we have elden ring, the wait feels almost nonexistent

[@Lunadherent]

I expect that there'll be a rise in Sister Fister usernames after this. Btw props to the host in the first clip cosplaying as even more vacuous version of Rom.

[@_Ethereal420]

Hope this can become a regular thing ,I like the idea of these avents especially the whole formless mother cov thing.

[@aldurthedrowshade]

Thank you Saint for being someone who see's one of the many boots on our meager wage earning backs, if you see "Sister Father, PhD" say hi~

[@JayQuilson]

I'm glad you chose a bail fund for your charity. I think it's very based.

[@tookuslingus]

Former CO of 6 years myself. Man for the longest time I thought you'd be hilarious to work with on the walk. Crazy how you can spot that kind of humor. Good luck with the charity brother.

[@patrickwapples6593]

Definitely want to join in on this charity after hearing your views and goals man. Your videos are always entertaining but it's nice to know you're a good person too fighting the good fight

[@Flash02558]

I just finished my build the other day getting Bloodboon at level sixty was a pain

[@dblsomeday]

This sounds like it’ll be awesome. I never thought about using the talons incant but after watching you it actually seems pretty fun to play/combo with. Definitely making a Family build asap!

[@TheOmertosa]

I'm so excited for this. Hope to see you on the field of battle Saint. Working on my Family build right now 😎 Been enjoying your videos for a long time now, keep it up man. 🍻

[@absoutezeo2126]

I'm actually making two builds for this right now. One is very similar to your build while the other is really wacky. Even if I don't use both for the anniversary, I still want to represent the Family in invasions with some cool characters. Looking forward to getting it done, and see you all at the event.

[@GiraffesEatStuff]

I’ve been really reticent to play anything last few months, but this whole event sounds really fun. I’ll have to check all the other covenants at some point and choose. Loving the cause and general idea for the covenant! And the prompts are fun, I’d love to have a character like this

[@EmceeProphIt]

That's an excellent choice of charity and highlights an issue a lot of folk don't know anything about. Respect dude. 👍

[@slammer1017]

Uncle Dad build has entered the arena.

[@Sincroix]

My favorite part of this is I already have a build using bloodflame talons and boon both. I don't mind renaming it and changing its fashion for this event. Can't wait man! Good on you for that charity too.

[@MigorRortis]

Unfortunately I missed this. Good on you for putting it toward bail bonds.

[@relativityilldescried8481]

i believe strongly in your cause saint! There are a lot of good charities so its always hard to pick one but you certainly picked a good one

[@frvi3502]

like the only person who put some effort into making an entertaining covenant.

[@emma-rz7mf]

unfortunately i have to be loyal to my good friend amir and be part of the bunny girls but i did make an honorary family member, sister lorianna who uses rogiers rapier and a parrying dagger for a duelist style character

[@saintriot]

I hope to see Family members long after this event is over. The premise was to have my covenant be something that would last beyond just this event

[@pineapplethief4418]

Admirable charity. Was fairly certain I had the measure of you, but it's nice to receive proof. Maybe I'll rep the family on PC. Those blood spells do look fun. Took a bit of a break from Elden ring. Might be fun to get back in.

It's funny that you mention the Bloodshades- I play on PS4 and even I still see a Bloodshade or few here from time to time. Player covenants are still very much alive far as I can see.

Aunt Karen. Has to use some sort roar ash of war.

[@sauin.]

Can you put the rules of the Covenant in the description or something. I know you mentioned them in the video, but it'd be easier if they were all lined up in one area instead getting the rules at the beginning, then a discussion on the bail system, then "Oh yeah, you also this" 5 or 10 minutes later.

[@Nomortem]

I'm so glad I haven't missed this! Nearly done with my build. Dear old Granny Patience has some very mean STR/ARC combos in her arsenal

Does anyone know what the other covenants are? I got a 60 +12 that's a Squire type character and would be helpful if ghat already could be fit into a covenant here.

[@PablosDoritos]

So this covenant is only for PS5? I've been trying to do a build like this except with my first character bringing him up to level 200. (Un)fortunately, you can't add buffs to occult weapons so I had to spec out to a dex build with just enough faith and arcane. But then the spells seemed like they did nothing. You guys have any suggestions?

[@SirChubblesSteen]

Bail for jail time is dumb, I agree. It really just gives the rich even more leniency. Gotta love Capitalism.

Very curious what everyone's The Family build is going to be. I'm super excited to debut mine. Thanks to the long weekend I should be able to finish it up soon. What's everyone thinking/doing?

[@muhdreamguts]

Saint, I got a question. You say that helmets need to look like "horror." I made my characters face to convey that same feeling of fear, would it be allowed to just wear like Aristocrat Headband to show off my terrifying face? I even made my head size 255 and every other slider as low as possible so it stands out more.
