I probably don’t need to say this, but blatant pity isn’t going to make the players using it feel good at all. Elden Ring does it right by disguising the boss pity mechanic (spirit summons) as a tool, stopping players from feeling like it’s a button that lowers the difficulty.
Also, I hope that this is enabled by talking to a ghost NPC that lies to the side of the spawn locations of boss battles. If it were to be a pop-up instead, it would be greatly disruptive to those who don’t want to make use of it.
