I'm wouldn't be surprised if The Blue Dancer is going to be the Artorias/Ludwig hero figure from the past we fight, he might be amenable to be bonked and/or shot with holy lasers

Bananasaurus Rex posted:Yeah. Aside from DS2 DLC which was mostly its own thing. Well Aldia does show up. DS3's first DLC was kinda separate too, but it gets tied nicely into the 2nd DLC which had a ton of lore stuff. the DS2 DLC is intimately tied in to the larger themes and ultimate conclusion of that game's narrative, although in an admittedly rather post hoc way once they had the time and budget to integrate aldia in to string everything together

I don't want it to be easy, just a minimum of horseshit.

I wonder how the expansion will be structured. I'm assuming it's post game content, but might be wrong given other dark souls DLC has been at various points. Tbh it's easy to level and get your favoured items once you know the base game so maybe I'll start a wacky new dude for the new content.

I've heard the triple putrid crystalian fight had its AI nerfed to be less ganky. If that is incorrect they definitely deserve a spot up there.

All duo and trio fights have been nerfed enormously. The crystallians especially will apparently have their AI go so inactivate that they don't kick back online and you can just stand there wailing on them

I want Aldia to show up out of nowhere and for no reason. Like he doesn't say anything to tie the Dark Souls series into Elden Ring, he doesn't make any reference to DS2 at all, he's just there as Literally Aldia. The fans would go Berserk.

After binging most of Tarnished Archaeologist's incredible videos, I suspect that the Oracle Envoys (doot guys) are the Albinaurics that successfully emerged from their cocoons in Elphael and Haligtree.

Actually rage quit the game for the first time on the Elden Beast. I can't see what it's doing because it's too big and auto-lock drives my camera loving nuts.

Auto lock is your enemy. Consider: it is very big. Swing in its general direction and you will hit it.

Sometimes it's better not to have it on (hint: big bosses). Sometimes you need to be flicking it on and off fluidly.

Rock Sling? stone of gurranq, it has massive range and is pure physical, so it's a good way to chump him if you don't have pest threads. high holy resist works good if you don't have anything of the sort up your sleeve otherwise, but some kind of strong ranged physical attack is ideal it's a bad boss that i'd like to see actually fixed in the DLC but i doubt they'll commit the resources for it, so having a plan to cheese it on every playthrough is good forward thinking

Ok after comparing Miquella’s size to Torrent’s I think that IS child form Miquella. So I think the DLC will be in the past in the early life of the the Erdtree when it was overtaking the crucible

Just curious because I didn't pay attention to game-related social media at the time, but did fromsoft use the term DLC or expansion for the DLCs from ds1-3? or use em interchangeably The DLCs have never disappointed me but "expansion" has my hopes up that it's gunna be big vvv on the other hand a large portion of their install base probably does not remember when expansion packs were a thing, so who can say Telltolin fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Mar 1, 2023 |

DS1 DLC: Expands on The Abysswalker that was mentioned and whose backstory plays a major part in 1/4th of the Lord Souls, reveals Kaathe might be running as much of a con as Frampt. DSII DLC: Gives more backstory to the Iron King and his relationship to Alonne, each one is a thematic follow through of mans inherent nature to destroy itself following the ideals that Gwyn bound the world to. DSIII DLC: A whole rear end subplot about a painting girl that reinforces the idea that the real way out of this stupid bullshit was never to chase the shadows of legend and keep repeating the same mistakes, or to simply stagnate in the dark because at least it doesn't "hurt" but instead to do --literally anything else--. gently caress the fire chasing bastards throwing themselves on the pyre to uphold a system of tyranny and fear, gently caress the emo weirdos all dressed up like one of Gwyn's assassins promising to do the same loving thing but in black and blue this time, just loving LEAVE. Make a new world with new ideas. Like the Dark Souls DLC have always been a bit weird and generally introduce new ideas that nobody sees coming but they've never been irrelevant or disconnected.

i'd say the main point of disconnection is that the setup that's used to get you to them is, more often than not, "a big portal opens up and sucks you to the phantom zone," and that lack of physical connection can make them feel more narratively distant, even if they're thematically appropriate

Rock sling is also broken against big monsters because the tracking breaks down and the rocks fly near forever unless they patched it.
