The fun of the game (in pve) is overcoming the challenges that are placed there by the developers with the intent to kill you. its getting into their mindset (if i was trying to kill the player where would i put a trap)
that makes sense and I'll keep it in mind, thanks. I'll probably try it out again here soon

Its absolutely not true that you need to have memorized the map, I avoided pretty much every trap in dark souls 2 when i first played it due to playing cautiously
well dark souls 2 is a corridor, so that's not hard

The level design of dark souls 2 is perfect. It's
A hallucinogenic flight from safety and civilization into an incredibly distant wilderness in the tradition of shadow tower, idiot

the reason that dark souls 2 has long, seemingly linear (not really but nerdss loveeee to complain) levels is because thats the only way to get the sense of distance the game was going for without actually having an enormous world. When you reach the primal bonfire at the end of a given branch you Feel really far away from majula, as opposed to das1 where firelink always felt rpetty dang close by

Also i get really annoyed when people are hung up on stupid thiongs like the transition from earthen peak to iron keep as if it somehow matters how or why you got there and the game isnt trying to evoke a sort of mythological epic/dreamlike world where the specifics of how you get where dont matter. its the same thing as in DaS1 when you go down the great hollow, its pretty clear you didnt descend through an Entire Archtree since theyre miles tall

well, you enter through the side of it so who knows how far down that is. that area was weird because it gave me the idea that lordran was just built on top of the archtrees or something.
you can look directly up when you enter ash lake and see how much larger it is

Dark souls speaks in a mythological language , ash lake is more just representative of a primal pre-creation universe than an actual place,.. the specifics dont matter

did the bearer of the curse actually take an elevator from earthen peak to iron keep, or did he spend weeks hiking across the mountains shown in between on the map, or did either of those places really exist, it doesnt matter for the myth

as far as I know theres no hint at her origin whatsoever in the game except for some very broad information (shes a blacksmith, she belongs to a people with a culture and traditions, she likes making dolls)

so? there's marked difference in intelligence between some BYOB posters, and we can agree that all of them are human.

I like the difference in level design between the two dark souls games. in the first, everything feels interconnected but in a vertical way, whilst in the second the interconnectedness is spread out horizontally. I've also heard some talk of the seemingly "weird" designs, like elevator up to iron keep or what feels like a short trek through some hallways gets you into no-man's warf and so on, being intended as a way to project how, in these games, time is supposed to be distorted and non-linear. So the amount of time you spend walking around doesn't reflect the actual distance walked.

well someone was keeping ornifex imprisoned, the key to her cell is held by a petrified lion warrior who are creations of seath['s old soul] or aldia's. and seath does have a big connection to the painted world.

I thought the petrified blacksmith was in the tower after moonlight butterfly, or have I just missed the guy in painted world every time I've been there?
