Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

For some reason I thought I remembered DS3 having a much more relaxed filter, so I haven't even thought about it when making characters


somehow none of my character names are censored though, despite almost all of them using the full 16 characters :iiam:

I think it's because it was in Japanese first, and they only made a censor list for certain characters.

The worst censor I experienced was monster hunter tri's, because not only was that a game with a lot of typing to each other, but it also used the same censor for everything that wasn't the Japanese version. This included the word "after" (thanks german), causing exchanges like "after this, let's do something else" to become "**** this, let's do something else"

The fire keeper is really interesting in 3. I've been paying more attention to the items. They're people that/take after someone that returned from the abyss or something. It's another layer of mystery of the interplay of the dark and firelink.

I think it might be one of the higher damage spears, and the poison is a nice added bonus now that poison has been buffed.

Weird, so spinning it (the weapon art) staggers players but not PvE monsters?

I found basically no use for the Splitleaf WA in PvE since the spin didn't stagger and thus I'd just get knocked out of it. I figured it was good in PvP since all weapons with fancy jumping and flipping moves generally are, but I never imagined it could combo.
gael's sword also can combo for a gross amount of damage, IIRC it's like R1->L2->R1 which does like 900 damage, and the WA has a lotta poise

For anyone interested in blind Dark Souls III playthroughs, Dan from Extra Credits who previously played through DS1 and DS2 on his Side Quest series has finally started his DS3 playthrough! The first two were great, and I expect nothing less of this one. He's relatively new to the series (hadn't played Dark Souls before starting the series a year and a half ago) and it's refreshing to see the games played by someone who isn't already a Souls veteran but just appreciates them for what they are.

I just was trying a Bow (not Greatbow and not Crossbow) build, and even with stacked Red Tearstone / Morion Blade it was.....underwhelming. In PvE. Can't say for PvP since I don't PvP much. I think about the most damage I saw against a boss was maybe 400? That was with Hyper Mode active.

It's decent for regular PvE, but certainly not great. I may try to respec a bit into more of a Greatbow thing, but I dunno. Just the gameplay of it hasn't been that interesting. Or at least not as interesting as it was in DS1. Sad, because you could wreck some poo poo with a Chaos Composite Bow & Fire Arrows back in the day. My bows-only run was one of the most fun runs I did in DS1.

The weapon tier image someone posted has Arbalest / Avelyn as highest tier bow/sbow/xbow. But the Greatbows with scaling should have better max single-shot damage, I think?

Greatbows are extremely gimmicky in PvP because they fire incredibly slowly which makes them easy to dodge if your opponent isn't distracted. Doesn't matter how good your damage is if you can never hit anything.

Crossbows don't deal much damage but they can be pulled out and fired relatively quickly, which makes them a good way to punish certain things.

The fact that they are one handed mean you can just have it out always and get free damage on any nerd that whiffs an attack.

I think that Black Knight & black knight get censored, but BLACK KNIGHT is fine.

I'm assuming that this tool is accurate: https://omgftw.github.io/DarkSouls3CensorCheck/

Right. Their censor is case sensitive.

It is bad and terrible. Can't bypass it this time like you can with DS2 either, because DS3 has a much more restricted character set that does not include, say, the Unicode no-width blank.

That also reminds me..... does DS3 even have any cats? I'm trying to think of any, and I've recently played through the game 3 times... so I'm pretty sure DS3 actually doesn't have any cats.

Wow, it really is the worst game of the series :catstare:

You need the jailer's key ring. To get it go to the toxic swamp in the Profaned Capital. There's a staircase on the leftside of the big building that leads to a hallway containing the key.

Irthyll Dungeon has like 3 seperate keys to unlock all the doors. Its stupid.
