Isn't the Pontiff a Corvian from the Painted World? That makes it make sense.

even in DS2 you only ever fight vendrick in his hollowed form (which hits like a truck but is otherwise a pretty basic fight). I think it'd be cool if one of the DLCs is the actual invasion/war between drangleic and the giants that you only get to see a part of in the giant memories. since lothric is a land of transitory blah blah blah they could have part of drangleic "invade" and the part that invades is some part of the fofg and majula and castle drangleic and you fight vendrick at the height of his power when he had mastered souls and captured the throne of want.

Your Computer posted:It's not that bad, yeah. You only really hit the limit if you want to experiment, but like I said I think that's a shame since a single failed build means 2 respecs (one to change it, one to revert it). It's still something you won't encounter much and it's a minor complaint for sure. He also looted the gently caress out of the Profaned Capital for the Profaned Flame and anything else he could use, possibly including the giant slaves he utilizes and hands off to Aldrich. He's also heavily involved in trying to secure Lothric Castle in general and the Consumed King's Garden in particular. Sully is one proactive son of a bitch.

Heck, I want a Boss Mode in DS3 if only so I could fight Pontiff over and over. Favorite fight in the Souls series by far, and such an interesting character.

there are definitely dark souls 2 tweaks which were ported into dark souls 3: durability is trivial, continuous turning in the middle of an attack, pyromancy depending on both faith and int they pretty much nailed it mechanically with dark souls 3, such that the biggest whines are about poise and respecs, the former of which will probably be patched at the latest by the time the DLC comes out, and the latter of which isn't even a problem, just beat the game or make a new character or look up a build online

il serpente cosmico posted:The Dark Moon lady says that there aren't any dark moons left, though. She's just been chilling by herself, for a while. true and the Anor Londo we visit in DS III is clearly from a later period than DS I. Since a couple of windows have been repaired and the giant smith has died and so on. But I at least interpret it as coming from the past rather than from another space.

Besides, the Corvians aren't from the painting. They want to go there, as the Storytellers tell tales of how it's a sanctuary for "wretched beings". e: which is very  and I kinda hope the DLC let's us get some more info on the Painted World and what became of it. Bad guys actually being tragic victims is very much my poo poo.

To be fair, the Pontiff seems to be into everything. Because meddling with multiple things of which man was not meant to wot in the Soulsverse is a good plan. Hey Turtlecrunch, look closer at the bubbles on the Greatwood after you pop them!

Speaking of, was I the only one disappointed you never got to fight one of those fuckers, or see more of them in general? I'd gone all of Upper Lothric Castle wondering what they were about and kinda feeling creeped out by them and figuring they were gonna be related to the final boss or something which would be at the very end of the place. Then they show up and are huge pains in the rear end on Dragonslayer Armor, and my thirst for revenge grew in parallel with my interest in them. And then they just...never show up again, except in the skybox? What the hell?

I'm fine with that, breaking weapons after 20 swings and keeping backup weapons to either weigh you down or force you to deal with menus while a monster was gnawing your leg was a poo poo mechanic that deserves to die painfully.

I can full clear some of the larger zones with a Greatsword in DS3. Same for DS1. If I try to do the same in DS2 - even scholar of the first sin - the thing will near break half way through the zone.

Harrow posted:In fact, his wings look at lot like the wings on the "pilgrim butterflies" during the Dragonslayer Armor fight. So what exactly is the association between the Dark/Deep and ... trees, anyway? The deacons all have branches coming out of their robes. McDonnell has branches coming out of his eyes. The Pontiff has branches for wings. Even the darkwraith armor has some small twig branches on their armor and the hilt of the dark sword. (Also, the branches thing is consistent across both the Dark and the Deep). Its a recurring theme but I have no idea what it actually represents. Except for Aldrich I guess, who has no branches, only blobs. e: fuckin' beaten, this thread moves fast.
