You know

I've never really had an issue with "hey where did dragons come from" or "why did Fire appear," I can accept those as just creation myth nonsense, but Seath has always stuck out to me as being weird. How do everlasting dragons, which just always were and have no concept of time, have a species mutation at all, nevermind one with a time limit

Dark Souls

ok so you reminded me about something

In the beginning, the only thing in existance was dragons. At some point fire was created, which led to life being formed. And then the Lords and the humans and Seath and however else killed all the dragons. And then the fire starts to go out, and then everything else in the Dark Souls universe happens as people try to fix the fire.

Looking at it like that, there's really only one place the fire could come from, which is the dragons. Which, makes some sense, as they are dragons. And then all the dragons die and whoops! There are no dragons around to sustain the fire anymore. But Seath would've known that this would be the outcome, and he did it anyway.

What I'm getting at is, that Seath willingly causes the inevitable heat death of the universe because he wanted to read some fuckin books in peace.

I did the same thing in that dungeon (and some shrines). It's really obvious if you just figure out that items conduct electricity like that even on the floor.

You say that like he didn't wander around aimlessly trying to figure it out for ten minutes before eventually finding a single orb and rather than find the other, tried that.

I could be wrong but I remember answering yes to Sieglinde being required for the quest to advance. You can still meet Siegmeyer in his next location but he'll never show up with his daughter at Ash Lake. Hopefully I'm wrong since that's a cool quest line.

I've looked it up, supposedly it seems it doesn't prevent the end of the quest because they already answered her after killing the golden golem.
Information about this seems really scarce and confusing though.

yea Pat and Wooie are a strong team because Woolie just wants to go with the flow and Pat reads every line and shouts some insane theory that maybe is connected kinda to one word in that line in a context from three games ago.

It took Pat about 3 hours to beat two Divine Beasts. Did a lot better on Thunderblight Ganon than I thought he would though.

Also, I asked if Paige would be uploading archives of her streams to youtube and Pat read it out loud in a very holier-than-thou manner and then looked at her very deliberately because he talked to her about exactly that like last night, and apparently she's procrastinated on it for months because Pat's been refusing to help her do it. :allears:

I think you're reading too much into it. One common theme in creation myths is something springing from nothing.

I don't remember if it has, but yeah, that was perfect.

I remember one of the Animated Series episodes that ended with Batman tearing open a bag of coins and Two-Face losing his scarred one, reduced to a sobbing wreck and he shuffles through the piles looking for his coin. Which they ripped off for the movie.

There's also another episode where Batman switches the coin out for a trick coin that always lands on its edge and Two-Face gets completely incapacitated as he keeps trying to get a result from it.

I think there was also a comic where Batman replaces the coin with one that always lands on head and Two-Face almost completely reforms for a while.

I'm still confused for the narrative point of the Waynes being evil, because thus far it seems like a flimsy excuse for everyone to hate bruce for the actions his parent's did.

Oh and it provided the penguin with some motivation I guess.

I'm into it because it's something different and requires Bruce to not just fight crime because his parents died, but as an actual system wide problem.

But it's largely being used as a narrative excuse yeah

They decided to tell their own Batman story, instead of rehashing the same one everyone else has been telling for years, and that's fantastic.

Lotta changes in their version: Joker's a weird confidant, Selina sees through the Batman disguise basically instantly, Penguin isn't a fat bird person, and so on and so forth. It's especially great that telltale has the guts to do this after The Beast Within, where the first episode ends with, "We might kill ANYONE, don't think you know how this will end because you've read the comics!" and the second episode starts with, "lol, only new characters will die after all."

I like how it forces Batman to look at his history in a new light. Everyone so far has told Batman 'Hey, the Waynes were poo poo, why aren't you changing that?' and it's a legitimate neat sort of angle. Yeah, sure, they haven't capitalized on it fully, but having a legit grievance against the Waynes rather than some petty revenge really brings out some good motivations.

Also, Really want to see how Joker comes back. I liked his performance, you get to see how he is when he's trying to curry favor and influence people to his own ends, which is usually just an informed trait.

Yeah despite me being ambivalent on the wayne's portrayal (what with my my personal belief batman's childhood and parents should be idyllic as possible) I think their version of the joker is really good.

EDIT- oh yeah and I think thematically that the wayne's deaths work way better if it was just some mugging gone bad than a planned assassination.

But what is he supposed to do? He was literally building a new, better, mental institution before he even found out about the Waynes' history. He was funding a (at the time) sensible candidate for the mayor's post. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Bruce is no stranger to giving to charity either. I'm the first to back Eat the Rich but people blaming Bruce for something his parents did is dumb.

I don't know if it speaks to my gently caress up, or poor level design, but I missed the entrance to Izalith from Centapede Demon's room because I missed the cave passage to the next area. I thought I had to do something at the big thing that totally looks like a door in that room, then gave up and back tracked to figure out where else I could use the lava ring.

I agree, Bruce isn't his parents and he shows that by not being poo poo. But having such a large part of his image shaken and used against him is a neat story beat for me. Not really about 'Eat the Rich' more than realizing your past isn't perfect and the fallout from that realization having impact. Lady Arkham is a real wasted opportunity, though. Feels like a super flat 'this could've been YOU' villain.

Joker's 'Hey Zsasz!' scene was great, though.
