I think it's the world starting to return to its primeval state of just arch-trees and dragons. e: Those butterflies look super cool btw.

turtlecrunch posted:There sure is a lot of stuff turning into trees in this game: Thinking back to DS1, branches and trees are closely associated with the Witch of Izalith and the whole fire/life motif of her lord soul. Like the way Lost Izalith and the Demon Ruins were full of roots poking straight into lava, and of the course the Bed of Chaos itself. I assume there's some lore correlation here with the fact that everything is all fire and cinders in this game. Possibly with the age of fire being extended for such an unnaturally long time that the natural growth is also out of control and hollows are turning into trees, etc. It's not a well formed theory, but it sort of fits known themes.

I took pics of him for the wiki page to try and cover all of it. They're at the bottom. http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Aldrich,+Devourer+of+Gods That butt part is Aldrich, the skirt I'm not really sure but I took a good pic of it. e: I think the bones sticking out near the butt are sometimes covered with the sludgy skin, so they become the fins like he has in the intro.

I can't for the life of me remember where I heard the theory (probably Vaati), but I love the idea that the cycle is inevitable. Link the fire and it will eventually fade, reject it and the flames will eventually re-ignite. The true ending to the Dark Souls universe would be finding a way past the cycle, probably reverting to the primeval state of gray. I see a lot of people immediately assume that "Age of Fire = good, Age of Dark = bad" but if you delve deeper into the lore the lines really start to blur.

SciFiDownBeat posted:durability works the same as it did in dark souls 2, as far as I can tell, except the durability meters are even higher. Plus they had the good sense to not include any durability-reducing enemies or traps. I've never ever ever had any weapon break in dark souls 3. So it seems to be a non-issue, which makes it baffling as to why they didn't just remove the mechanic entirely Hopefully we'll get a scraping spear in DLC.

Hey guys, Quick question, I've been playing through the game as a Knight. I am very slow and methodical in exploration so that I get everything, so I probably have most or all of the weapons that you can get so far excepting maybe some rare drops. I'm basically done with the Catacombs in terms of my progress. Right now I'm still rocking the Longsword that you get as the starter weapon (it has up to Large Titanite Shards on it, so +4 or +5 range) and a fire gem upgrade. My playstyle is very shield oriented, lots of backstabbing as well. So my question is, is there anything better I should be using with a shield at this point in the game? It feels pretty stupid to be using the starting weapon still, but the array of weapons is absolutely dizzying and whenever I start thinking about what to use, I inevitably get overwhelmed and stick with the fire longsword.

Walked over that bridge at Lothric Castle with two dead dragons and dead knights everywhere while Hurt by NIN played, it was sad.

In the 'dark' ending extinguishing the flame kind of implies that there are other flames, flames that arent the "first" flame lurking around. The whole time we've been spending keeping the first flame on life support when we could have moved to the second flame and avoided this whole undead curse thing

Some other goon should take up the charge. His rear end is a little elusive, part of it is bone/sludge and then part (the end) is just a bunch of maggoty meat, but it also sinks into the floor.

The whole time we've been spending keeping the first flame on life support when we could have moved to the second flame and avoided this whole undead curse thing I interpreted it in the DS2 sense of inevitability that you're not actually "stopping" anything and the cycle will continue. You might be right though, which would be incredibly interesting and I'd love to see some lore backing that up.

Also I don't think Gwyndolin had spooky arms like that in DS1. But G and L are definitely the same archetype (and same VA, maybe?). Seems normal. I guess Aldrich ate his boobs since he doesn't have them anymore.
