Elden Ring

[Rynjin]

There is actually a "cool" sort of invasion faction, but they only send you out on NPC invades. It's a very interesting faction though.

Much Later Edit: You know, on the "Elden Ring isn't as bleak as Dark Souls" train, it's also the only game with regular, non-hostile mobs in every area. And not just the harmless cute ones either (like turtles and goats), but the jellyfish. I love the jellyfish. Big live and let live attitude.

Closest thing Dark Souls had before that was Torch Buddy in Dark Souls 2.
