I like the fallen knight helm... but it doesn't go with any of my outfits. Even my main Luck build Garbage Monster uses the plain old thief's hood instead.

noether posted:of course we're gay. That's how we have good opinions about fashion I am the fashion lord  Dark Souls 2 is inexplicably thriving, guys. I haven't been invaded yet, outside of the bell tower, probably because of how fast I'm plowing through the game and the way it gives you that anti-invasion effect after a boss. But any time I drop a summon sign I get summoned in less than a minute. There are ghosts and petrified bodies everywhere.  santier spear nerds are still going strong though.Cuchulain posted:I like the fallen knight helm... but it doesn't go with any of my outfits. Even my main Luck build Garbage Monster uses the plain old thief's hood instead. Armor just straight up not working together is a huge issue with 3's armor. Even some sets don't work right together. The pants of favor, for example, have a completely different pattern to the rest of the armor which makes them stand out really badly. The whole set is also a different color yellow from any other yellow armor in the game so they can't match well at all. Meanwhile, if you want to wear blue or silver? You have your god drat choice of anything in the game pretty much, they all go together really well.

I did some iron keep and belfry sol invading around whatever the normal soul memory is to be there recently and it was refreshingly better than 90% of DS3 PvP. My very first invasion was against an Armorer Dennis cosplay and as soon as I saw him I accidentally shield bashed as he accidentally shielded, then I shoved my mastodon halberd through his face for a ~1100 damage 1 hit KO riposte. Return to Drangleic at the end of the month as well.

At least in 3, most of the metallic armor sets are the same hue of silver. That poo poo bothered the hell out of me in the other games

I can't seem to rid myself of my firekeeper robe. Even though the Jailer's robe is better in almost every way I still think it looks inferior on my wizard dude. If only the Dusk Crown headpiece didn't look like such an utter piece of crap. Why couldn't it be a faceless hood or a pointy wizard hat or something? Instead I look like some sort of retarded Asterix.

Jailers robe is a big black bag with a flared base. No thanks. I will take the black dress, Cornyx, firekeeper, even Karla’s raggedy rear end poo poo over that. Dusk crown is there to remind you that the price you pay for mighty sorcery is self respect.

Maleh-Vor posted:Storyteller staff is interesting. It's not great, and my Swamp Witch build is terrible at anything remotely resembling honor duels, but it's really fun for invasions, especially when you go up against a gank squad and have enemies you can hide behind or lure them towards. It's pretty funny that Storyteller Staff inexplicably has the best poison/toxin effect in the game, basically for free, you don't even need to meet the stat requirements. First time back to the game since before the infusion buff, I see that dark infusions are the new hot thing in PvP, how does the raw AR fare in PvE? I suspect that in NG defense is low enough that the split damage calculations still come out on top, but i'm not sure about NG+/++. I'd like this character to be as jack-of-all-trades as possible, so I know quality is the default, but dark looks like it might allow a wide variety of weapons, a bunch of spells, and fun crits as well. Cuchulain posted:Seath spinning in place is good practice for Dark Souls 2's "all enemys now wear rollerskates to avoid backstabs" design though. I can forgive them for this because a) it's still pretty easy to backstab DS2 enemies, and b) it in turn led them to design Lothric Knights, who I think are one of the most well-designed enemies in the whole series. They're memorable as the first newbie brick wall, exemplify 'tough but fair', they're fun to fight and don't have any bullshit moves, they have the backstab fishing punish, they look great, and they drop it as sweet loot. hampig fucked around with this message at 13:42 on Feb 14, 2018 |

I think there are a few that aren't though, and they can be a pain in the rear end even on NG that face is giving me dysphoria

IronicDongz posted:the pants being piss stained is actually the best thing about the set, because it gives it actual personality by making him a huge coward, rather than super bland edgelord nonsense Item descriptions give everything a lot of personality. My favorite part of Solaire in DS1 was the fact that he painted the suns on his armor himself. I even have a small Solaire sun bumper sticker on my car because I love how much depth that little detail added to the character. Solaire really likes suns, you guys. Anyways, onto fashion:

smough's set is fine because he's a huge, super unnaturally powerful dude who wants to intimidate his enemies. I cannot buy into having clothing draped on top of plate armor, it's just dumb

anyway this argument is kind of moot since the implication is "i find this armor unrealistic" in a game where wooden boxes can grow arms and legs and eat you

Also if he's a coward running away in piss stained pants, he probably didn't want people to recognize his very distinct and obvious armor so he put a cloak on to hide. Because he's not good enough to run around a swamp naked punching crabs.

The best part about wearing fallen knights set with irithyll straight sword and grass crest shield in the swamp is discovering how many twinks are actually bad at this game. Youtuber pinco even made an invasion character with his own lore based around the stereotype that that loadout = bad player
