There's a similar jump off an elevator in a late game secret area where unfortunately there's nothing to find and I was so tempted to leave a message to get people to try the jump and waste their time but in the end I acted with honor.

I appreciate that every message telling me there's an enemy to the left or right has never led me astray.

Yeah, every now and then I'll get annoyed with all the memes and consider going in offline mode, but then I get my rear end saved by a helpful "be wary of left," or I get in a situation where I'm beat to poo poo, out of healing items, haven't seen a site of grace in forever, and am considering turning back but then I start seeing a bunch of "grace ahead" messages that give me the motivation to push through a little more. Or just come across a joke that's actually funny, like "Didn't expect weak enemy, therefore time for introspection" immediately after the Nokron City mimic tear boss room.

I really love this style of multiplater, like indirect co-op where you can get some help from someone without them ever entering your game. Getting likes or using structures or vehicles left by other players in Death Stranding was the same kind of feeling. I hope other games start taking inspiration from it.

I know there are still at least two field bosses I need to go back for as well as the sewers that the plague guy gave me a key for

I did this part earlier and the guy gave me bad vibes so I killed him but just barely survived one of his swings.

Also yeah I climbed an ash-covered carriage up to a side door because I figured I was close to a bonfire but instead found the "real" round table hold. FromSoft has done this kind of thing before but it always hits.

this time it hits for me because it made sense for the Hunter's Workshop to have a real world counterpart, it was a dream, after all

but if this is the real world roundtable hold, what is the place I've been going to?

Yeah the version in Bloodborne is less unsettling because we know from the start the Hunters Dream is an alternate dimension, but this definitely felt like Untended Graves

I think like crumbling farum Azula being frozen in time the same thing is going on with round table hold. I figured the reason that the hold starts to fall apart towards the end of the game is that the magic holding it together is starting to fade

I beat Rennala first try and was feeling a bit cocky so I used the item from Varre go visit the Lord of Blood and that was frankly even more unpleasant than expected. Then I went to the Atlus Plateau for the first time and visit a mansion full of absolute freaks. I'd like to go somewhere nice soon please.

there are like a million youtube videos now instructing you on how to break the game in 30 minutes, because the only thing that limits you from immediately getting a +20 wep is knowing where to go. i really dont get it lol

by that logic no one should ever even buy a video game in the first place since technically youre "buying" the items when you buy the game. oh sorry, my apologies, that would be using logic though wouldnt it? and we cant have that.

The legendary weapon/spell/talisman thing felt sort of weird like maybe they felt they needed to put it in since it’s an open world game. They even have the same color coding MMO items do to denote rarity lol

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
I think I'm getting pretty drat close to the end here and probably the most "feels" I've gotten so far is surprisingly from the Finger Reader in Roundtable Hold coming around on your act of heresy. "Don't worry, my dear... I'll see it to the end with you, if it please."

its a compromise with their previous tradition of “collect every ring, spell and incantation in the game”

I discovered today that those achievements are profile wide lol. I got the legendary armament one yesterday and went to check my inventory and realized I only got one of them on my second character, so you don't even have to do them on the same character let alone same run, which is nice. I don't think it worked like that for the other games.

That's actually cool. I wonder if that's only for NG+ or for a fresh file?

I never got the sword of night and flame or the ruins greatsword on my main character, I got the night and flame one on my second, and I got the ruins one in NG+ on the main character, which popped the achievement. So either you're allowed to miss a couple of them or it counts all my characters under my Xbox profile lol. either one is neat. I just need all the talismans and spells and the ending achievements to plat now...
