Pretty likely. I did just plus my whip to 8 and Ludwigs to 7. I'll give it a try.

Found the bath teleport so the run is way easier

Huh. Bloodborne sounds badass. I hardly ever die to mobs in DS unless im really drunk and not paying attention.

the cursed dungeons cut your HP in half which means everything can 2-shot you, doing random cursed depth 5 dungeons is where the real bloodborne begins

So Bloodborne has procedurally generated dungeons? Is the map always the same for a particular type of dungeon or are they constructed from blocks? Sounds incredibly cool regardless.

It's block rooms with random enemy, treasure, and trap placement. Tilesets differing between major chalice types

Each chalice has a tile set, room set. And each room has a set of possible conditions (enemies, traps, etc). Is not uncommon in the deeper chalices to get bosses as regular enemies. You can also add conditions with special ingredients like cursed (half HP) or rotted where there's tons of poison pools & enemies

even in lower chalices you occasionally have an undead giant hanging out somewhere nasty

I know the schedule was really tight for this game but NG+ being exactly the same is a little lame. I fully expected the forbidden woods bosses would spawn the giant snakes right away but alas

Lol same. I had like 80 and thought getting instantly frenzied was the intent and I got pretty frustrated during that area.

I had 99 insight but I was also in my Eileen the Crow fashion phase so it balanced out except for that spot with like 5 winter lanterns

I sprinted in Mensis till I destroyed mother brain then I went back and took it all in. I did not want to deal with frenzy.

Also, my pick for creepiest thing in the game is the winter lantern song

the winter lanterns are creepy as gently caress. what is frenzy? why do they cause it? why does insight make you more susceptible to it? is it your mind being torn apart by insanity?

so many good questions and so few in-depth answers: this is why bloodborne kicks rear end and i truly want the dlc more than ive ever wanted any dlc before

i don't want answers to the questions because that defeats the spirit of the story. sometimes a nightmare is just a nightmare

The Winter Laterns are probably the most disturbing design, to me.
