I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

I remember the original Dark Souls came out a week or two earlier in Japan than it did in the US, so when the release date here was a few days away, I decided to spend a few hours watching some random Japanese person stream the game. They were having trouble with a pretty unassuming boss with a solemn musical score; I figured it was some mid-game chokepoint boss. A formidable foe. Wasn't sure who it was, since the name was in katakana.

Game came out, I went to the on-campus Gamestop at midnight and hustled back to the dorm, two of ninety people there for Dark Souls (the rest were picking up NBA2K11 or something like that.) Was absorbed for the next two weeks. Then I found out who that boss was: Boat

Do you mean Dark Souls 2? Flexile Sentry? It seems to fit with your story as a technically optional boss.

I didn't want to spoil it just in case anyone hadn't played Dark Souls yet, but now that the cat's out of the bag, there is indeed a boat in the game.

I think this started when God of War (2018) came out; someone mentioned that there's boat traversal, and someone(s) else got mad about the boat spoiler.

Spoilering the word boat is a playstation thread meme and now I guess it's a cultural export to the rest of games.

It was boat haha I mean RE7. Specifically the surprise detour through a half-sunken tanker toward the end.

Without context, "figure in armor" was not a particularly powerful spoiler.

Yeah the actual context of the pre-release would not have revealed anything. Nothing on Pontiff Sulyvahn subverting the age of fire, nothing on Prince Lothric's rebellion against Lothric's ideals.

But what it does do is tell people who finished the game on day 1 that they are missing content: there is an entire boss out there, a big guy with big hair and a spear who they are yet to find.

Fingers crossed for a generous respec option over here. I'd like the game to encourage experimentation and the Souls games encourage experimentation over multiple playthroughs, which I rarely have time/capacity to do. I'd like to be able to mess with different builds over a single playthrough.

From what I've seen not only do the regular preset faces look much better than previous games, but you are still able to push those sliders around and get some real crazy shapes and colors
