In Warband, if you don't personally fight alongside your troops in every single battle they will find a way to incur massive casualties, even when they're 100 elite troops fighting a single Peasant Woman.

on the other hand, if you do fight with your troops, you can win 10 vs 100 because you can just run around in circles on a horse slowly chopping guys down :v:

TBH, it's "cheesecake" when it's women, but "beefcake" when it's men.

I'm a little disappointed that whoever did the initial posters didn't make a Institute poster. Probably because they're all nerdlingers and not a stud among them.

That loving Deacon poster slays me every time I see it. If only it were animated so that sometimes if you look away from it and look back he's bald. Or sometimes he has no shirt or sometimes he has pants.

The original artist sells prints so, you know, she could be living the dream.

The lack of an Institute poster bugged me too until I realized the only named character from the faction that I remember is Shaun and nobody wants to see that. Maybe that Courser dude?

Here is a Dark Souls mod that I think is particularly cool for a couple reasons: First, it came out of absolutely nowhere with no fanfare, second it completely retextures/re-bumpmaps like 20-30 shields, and third they look cool and totally different from their vanilla counterparts. Some samples:













The amount people are able to accomplish with such a limited toolset is really mind-blowing to me.

That's from the DS2 Shield competition!
imho only the GreatFaceShield is worth it and DS3 should totally take it and put it in the DLC.

Good god some work went into those bump maps. Most of the designs don't quite fit dark souls but they still look awesome

e: I think some of them like the lion would start to look weird if viewed from the side though

There are programs that will automatically generate bump maps from a flat texture, and they work pretty well even if you don't put effort into it. I mean that guy obviously did put some effort into it and it's good work, but the process of making super impressive bump maps for flat objects is like 90% automated.

Also, it's not that hard to make a bump map: they're gray-scale images with the height being determined by the value. Normal maps are a bit more complicated, but you can convert a bump map to a normal map fairly ease with those same tools.

Those shields are loving legit. Can models in Dark Souls be swapped? I'd love it if my character could drink out of an actual Sunny D bottle.

It requires lots of internal fuckery because of how the game is slapped together and your average joe modder probably cannot do it but uh

Yeah, technically Dark Souls models can be swapped

Seriously? So if the mod author blocks you from the file, that means that you can never download it? Do you have to make a new account to get around it?
