I've been playing Elden Ring, FromSoft's latest and arguably greatest Soulseborne game recently, and its been a blast. Not unexpected, since this game technically isn't new- it came out 2 years ago. But of course the first (and perhaps last?) expansion hit a couple of months ago and its been luring everyone's Tarnished back into action into a new land. The Shadows of the Erdtree DLC is huge, and probably would quality as an actual sequel and not just a simple expansion. After all this time, I realized that yeah- Elden Ring may qualify as one of our all-time favorite Barefoot Babe games. The game actually has some excellent feet models for the female characters, even going so far as to have barefoot footstep SFX for when your Tarnished is running around shoeless or wearing one of the several 'barefoot' leg items.
But its not just the Tarnished but quite a few NPCs- thiankfully some of them female NPCs, who go barefoot. Basically all of the mages in Hogwarts- er, I mean, Raya Lucaria, are barefoot, though most of the ones you encounter (and invariably slaughter) are male. There is, of course, the Final Boss of the area- Rennala- who has big, long feet that would make SF6's Manon green with envy. However, I can easily, readily say I know who my one, true beloved Barefoot Waifu in the game is. No, it's not Fia the Deathbed Companion, even if she is quite lovely and who can resist those hugs. It's certainly not Malenia, whom I thought was the waifu early on- but sadly she doesn't even have actual feet. So unless you have a thing for robot legs or metal feet, she probably isn't your thing.
Nope- my Elden Ring Waifu is none other than Sorceress Sellen. Your Magical Teacher, your Arcane Sensei... and easily the lady with the most beautiful feet in the game. She's just standing there and all I can do is stare at those long, lovely, perfect toes as she ponders and plans in her little hideaway. And not just that- her VOICE. Man, I can listen to her teach me about monkey poo and I'll be engaged. Sellen of couse has a questline which you can follow to eventually have her become the new Head of Raya Lucaria, but probably stop while you're ahead. Oh, and yeah- I'd speculate that Sellen is basically immortal, since her body is an artificial, albeit lifelike and exact to every detail- body, and by the later part of the quest is young and vital. And her feet are probably nice and flawless.
In any case, yeah- if I was the Tarnished, I'd pop in from time to time at the Academy to visit Sellen, and to given her foot massages and serve as her foot stool as she studies her scrolls and pines for her grandiose plans. Might as well sneak in a kiss or a lick on those amazing toes. And in case you're thinking, but she has a Stone Statue for a head! Well, it's just a mask- and I've included a pic of her without it- and as you can see, she's GORGEOUS. Basically she's a dead ringer for Morrigan from Dragon Age. All I can say is, her face is at least as beautiful as her feet.
So I gathered some pics of this magical babe's enchanting feet from every angle- sadly except for the soles- because of course she should have a place here. My Tarnished will always be the student for my barefoot sensei, in whatever New Game Plus. Just make sure to keep her quest eternally unfinished, for both of your sakes...
