I heard Lothric Ultragreatsword is a solid choice too. I can vouch for the axe being really good at least, and it's weapon skill overwrites buffs anyway so you're not really losing anything by infusing it.

This is a stupid question but it's driving me nuts. Isn't there a bonfire in the swamp after the road of sacrifice? Like, on a hilll near the those poison mushroom guys and the guys that stab at you with logs. I literally could have sworn there was one there but I don't see it.

There are actually two in the swamp before you open the door. One is after the second torch, across a bridge with 3 of the weird fungus rides that are totally not the fishermen from Old Hunters. The other is in the stone building that has the covenant in it.

Wrong swamp. Yes, there's a bonfire in the swamp that isn't poisonous, on top of a hill. It's close to the building leading to the Crystal Sage.

"the world began without knowledge, and without knowledge it will end" is such a cosmically harsh burn that i think it covers a whole school of thought instead of just one guy. It could be referring to Aldia, Oceiros, Orbeck, or Seath, but even in Dark Souls it seems that investigating the universe doesn't change you being trapped in its material conditions. That's a pretty good line for a loving video game poem.veni veni veni posted:Wow. I've actually had the exact same thought before. Totally agree. At the very least I'd be really disappointed if it was generic sci fi. It would have to be weird to some degree. Dark Souls and Bloodborne seem super influenced by early fantasy and horror, like Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert Howard (the Conan guy). I wonder if that's what Miyazaki struggled to read in English as a kid, like he talked about in that famous interview. So when i think of sci fi souls I imagine like very early sci-fi, the John Carter and Voyage to Arcturus type of stories that used a lot of pure imagination in an unformed genre. Stolid victorian people getting pulled away from their whist and seances to become naked gods on Mars, radioactive swords, grafted-on psychic organs, metal lakes that kill by music, witches that make a tentacle of erectile tissue grow out of your heart if you think about them hornily... thats the good poo poo

Is the drop-rate as super loving rare as it seems? I definitely have killed a ton of Ringed Knights en route to clearing the DLC, and I haven't seen a single piece yet.

Oh cool, I'm fighting a giant dragon! Oh no I'm doing like 200 damage at best unless I hit its head. Oh double no, it can also mega explode and instantly kill me. Not that I had estus left. I wish he'd just do his cool anime laser attack forever, that's easy to dodge.

Yeah. That's why when I think Sci fi Souls it's like "ewwww" because I'm thinking like Mass Effect or military bro Sci Fi. But when I think about really outrageous sci fi like Fantastic planet or Zardoz or heavy Metal magazine stuff I feel like that could work. I'm honestly surprised that style hasn't been aped more by games but mark my words, it's coming soon.

i absolutely loved the more off the wall, older sci-fi stuff and would hope that if from wanted to do a full sci-fi game that they would choose a setting along those lines on a related note, if anyone likes roguelikes then caves of qud really super heavily draws from those old books in a great way. probably the only game i know of offhand that does it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfkEOaDD2ko http://store.steampowered.com/app/333640/

I have to say that I was expecting to finish the DLC and be ready to put DkS3 down and walk away, especially since they added in +3 rings that were objective upgrades over the +2 versions of the rings I intended to get, but gently caress me, did the DLC ever get me eager for more. I'm absolutely stoked for another playthrough, and I'm just trying to figure out what stuff I need to grab before moving on. I do wish that the DLC had come with some way to respec without being limited to 5 per run, but whatever. I guess I'll just deal.

Just had someone invade me at the first giant on the bridge. They were using the Giant Door Shields and the Obscuring Ring and it was a great invasion. I got pincushioned by dozens of arrows when their trap was sprung. 10/10 would die again.

The +3 rings are only the most marginal of improvements over the +2s. If you already have +2 rings they aren't much. They seem to really just exist to let you get the best possible Favor/Havel's/Chloranthy buffs without needing to play through the game multiple times, which is cool of From.

Is there any real reason to level vit for the fast roll? I'm trying to justify this stupid build I'm working on where I dump over 10 levels into vit for the fast roll and its just making me feel stupid. I don't think it even has any impact other than roll distance. Its just like, I don't think there's any benefit to having 30.01% weight versus 69.99% either. So why wear all this light armour if I'm not gonna be fast rolling?

The long roll is really good (although I have a habit of launching myself off cliffs by accident). I do wish there was an extra level or two of rolling in order to justify it. Maybe 25/50/75/100%.

It's kind of crazy how much picking the knight puts the game on easy mode at the beginning. Played for maybe 3 hours tonight and got through what probably took me 10+ with my dagger guy the last time I played it. granted I like to meander a lot the first time I play through a Souls game and the fact that I have already played it counts for something, but I suck and still maybe died 4 times total in the process of busting out the first 4 bosses and I still mostly felt like I was taking my sweet time with everything. Although that's probably short lived because iirc the bosses mostly get a lot harder after that sorcerer guy.

I was thinking more along the lines of Hyperlight Drifter or Transistor. Or, society as described in a William Gibson novel that has teetered over the edge and is now in the midst of an apocalypse. The shaved pubic hair aesthetic of Mass Effect would not suit FROM at all.

Quick question: I got the old cell key in the Ilrythil Dungeon, but I haven't found what unlocks the 2 doors in the first area of that dungeon, and I do not even know where Siegward's cell is. Do I get to take care of those later, after the Profane Capital bonfire? Or did I miss something earlier?

Regarding Siegward, yes, there's more to do in the Profaned Capital. Just explore the area in full and you'll see what I mean. If you haven't actually found Siegward in the dungeon itself, check the ground floor of the pit where your sleeping giant friend lies. Not sure about the former. edit: beat

The cell key is a different key. Old Cell is for Siegward, there's another key elsewhere that opens the cells in the first part. Can't for the life of me remember where the hell it is though. There should be three keys: One early one that opens a shortcut, the one for Siegward, and the one for the cells.
