Sivek posted:I didn't meet Cromwell until after I finished the Pate/Creighton sidequest and used the Crush Eyed Orb and I didn't have any sin, so take that for what it's worth. Cromwell doesn't get rid of sin. He just makes NPC's de-aggro if you pissed one off. They do an awful job explaining this.

Sivek posted:How does it work then? I finally came across him while doing endgame stuff and asked him for a pardon and I get "You have not sinned" message. As I said he just de-aggros any NPC you made mad. That's the 'sin' he's talking about, not the actual sin points you build up. You can't ever fully get rid of sin, only get it knocked down to 9 (one point below being a sinner) by getting killed by blue cops.

Shindragon posted:Giants aren't that big of deal. Yeah, giants can be pretty bullshit. Don't the ones with clubs just smash right through your guard as well? Hell, I've noticed a few enemies do that and I don't remember that being much the case in DeS or DaS1 where stuff could just go "lol gently caress your shield"

Internet Kraken posted:I really wish Aldia's Keep had been longer. I loved that level but just when it felt like it was hitting its stride I'm suddenly at the boss, who was completely separate from the level and also a huge chump. I really felt the same. After being in some of the initial reveals for it I was hoping for something so much more expansive and interesting than what it turned out to be. Not that the area was bad but I just wish it had more.

I find it funny that areas that make people super angry in DS2 (Amana and Black Gulch mainly) are about 1000x easier if you just take your time and don't hold sprint.

Bobnumerotres posted:The loving giant spiders are total bullshit. They're bullshit in NG and they're even worse in NG+ because they have this one attack that will take 2/3rds of your health and it's loving horseshit. What is that attack anyways? They usually hit normally but sometimes they just do an unholy amount of damage for no reason.

Internet Kraken posted:No, and surprise it sucks. Actually fighting with the Looking Knight is fun. Out of the last 20 minutes I got summoned twice. Here's what happended the rest of the time; You really should have had to win with the knight to get his shield and armor or something. The Old Monk gave such a fantastic and unique item if you won as the boss.

Fereydun posted:The Rebel Greatshield is basically the absolute most hilarious scrubbuster in PVP though so there's that. At least with Solaire it said that it was well-crafted but otherwise unremarkable. Benhart's outright says it a lifeless weapon so he's really putting some work into it to get results.

QuantaStarFire posted:Smelter Demon's attacks have good tracking, wide arcs/reach, and he tends to delay sometimes so you roll right into them. That makes him bullshit. OIK is easy to predict and avoid since he makes it fairly obvious when his fists are about to slam into the ground or he's about to breathe fire. Chances are I might just be bad at videogames but his hitboxes feel really loving off as well. Not quite Plesioth hip-check levels of hosed but close.

Bobnumerotres posted:So, is there any lore behind black gultch? I remember reading some stuff in-game about how it's where all the waste ends up (in what is surely a throwback to world 5 in DeS), but the whole place has a heartbeat and who the gently caress put all those statues there? I figured that The Rotten did since you see him assembling them as the fight starts and the things litter his chamber up quite a ways.

Annath posted:So, I just got an Old Whip, and was all set to go Belmont-Mode, but theres a problem! The regular whip is fine and it's good to supplement it with throwing weapons as well. Granted it's still not as good as just running through and smashing everything into a paste with a mace but I've done quite well with just a regular upgraded whip.

Dr. Carwash posted:Overall, Dark Souls 2 boss fights are objectively worse than 1 though. I mean, look no further than Ornstein and Smough vs The Throne Defenders. Every single boss fight in Dark Souls 2 was a massive disappointment (exceptions being Smelter and to a lesser extent, Pursuer). Literally, objectively, and unironically every boss fight in every souls game is terrible because I said so here are my reasons:

RBA Starblade posted:Yeah, it's not that you go back in time, it's that it's not your character's first time in Drangleic. The intro implies it as well. Except I guess the dragon memory, but I thought it was more that your guy forgot, because they're going hollow. Huh, that makes a surprising amount of sense and I never put that together somehow.

Manatee Cannon posted:That kinda falls apart in that you enter Drangleic at the beginning of the game, and if you'd gone hollow at any point you'd be like one of those mindless soldiers you see in the Forest. There's a difference between being hollow and undead, and if you were undead for as long as it took between the giant's memories and when the rest of the game takes place where were you getting the souls to stay sane? It might not actually be the giants/dragon's memories but it makes zero sense for them to actually be yours. Ludonarrative dissonance or whatever pretentious term GARMZ JURNALIZTS have come up with. I mean, why didn't you just use a Phoenix Down on Aeris when she did in FF7?!?

Cardboard Box posted:My biggest problem is that it feels too much like the last two Souls games while even at its best never really achieving the heights those games did for me (granted, it doesn't hit the lows, either). It's improved in a lot of ways, worse in others. It feels more like a lateral shift than an evolution. I enjoy Dark Souls II quite a bit but this seems to sum it up for me. I found it very even in terms of quality for the most part, even annoying as Shrine of Anime could be it wasn't really that bad. There's nothing truly memorable for me like Ash Lake, the Maiden Astraea/Garl Vinland fight, etc. But then again there's no Lost Izalith, 5-2, etc either.

Martman posted:My biggest disappointment was the covenants. The Ratbros and Bellbros are cool, but ultimately they didn't change the fact that covenants are too pointless and tedious. They could totally tie in real content or story to the covenant ranks, but it's like they're stuck in a place where they don't fully trust the system so the whole thing just seems tacked on and insignificant. What, there's not enough story with the DARKY DARK OF DARKNESS IN THE DARK DARK covenant for you? Also dark. Doctor Spaceman posted:Also so that people summon you in because you look awesome rather than being dude-with-spear-123. It's true. My Simon Belmont character gets quite a few more summons than I'd expect.
