uh what? doesn't the capra demon drop the key to the door just down the stairs from him that leads to the depths, a way easier area?

yeah the game is immediately nudging you to go down, but the fact is that reah and the other priests show up in the shrine right after the goat keels over. considering how the rest of the catacombs is pretty simple business as long as you have something holy on your hands (not to mention the modest loot), i think the greater plan was that the player would kill capra and then go straight to firelink shrine

you probably were supposed to go back home (either through demon's souls boss teleporting or the downtown being a dead end with no depths access yet), notice the new people and tool around a bit before getting the notion to follow them down to skeleton city, because hell yeah I can match at least those chumps

it's a game pacing crimp that didn't get ironed flat is what i'm getting at

Yeah I've never figured out a good time you're "supposed" to go to the catacombs. you can get the divine ember really early but the earliest you can get green titanite shards is 1) the depths or 2) lower blighttown or 3) a corpse in the catacombs, but it's clearly meant for you to give to vamos, and you'll have cleared past a bunch of necromancers anyway

and if you've beaten the kappa demon & poked into the depths you should have the large ember as well, so pinwheel will be a mega pushover. so I guess you were actually intended to go through the catacombs with a regular weapon, killing necromancers as you go, that'd explain why the first one is right next to a bonfire maybe. divine weapons would be more of a fallback if you find that too difficult

pinwheel is just way too easy compared to the rest of the catacombs. the rest of the area is a fairly difficult slog with traps and puzzles and goddamn bonewheels and then you hit the boss and he dies in like four hits, max. if the catacombs were easier pinwheel would feel right at home and it would be an early game area, or if pinwheel was harder it could make a solid midgame level

yeah i always thought the intended method was to kill the necromancers, making the area a bit of a gauntlet where you cant just stand around loitering you gotta move move move and the holy weapon thing was less of a "this is how you SHOULD do it" thing and more of a "ho ho, you found my weakness, you clever rapscallion" thing

i've always been hassled to join mumble servers, thing is unless you're actively playing with the people, you have no reason to talk to them. no reason at all.

when playing league of legends or DOTA2 it's actually really fun. as long as you are not taking the game seriously. plus it helps communication in a team.

outside of that yes, communicating with others in single player games sounds dumb. if i wanted to talk to people while playing games i'd do an MMO or multiplayer.
