Although I don't actually have the equivalent of a white soap stone yet so idk how long it is before I get access to that stuff

you gotta have 10 insight and then you can buy that + the invasion item from a secret store in hunter's dream

I rescued a prostitute and she said the only way she could repay is with her blood and I refused the treatment because this is the first time i have ever seriously been concerned that my character was going to catch AIDS

same, but instead I took her blood

i finally found that fucker in the plague doctor gear after she disappeared from the original location. was just standing outside the church, what a piece of poo poo
told me not to go to the tombs below it because she's gonna kill some guy down there. i want to go but i have no idea where they are.

I'm pretty sure she's talking about the dude next to the password door, lol

Yeah. I figured it was in that area because of the text in the item description but I couldn't find anything. The only area I didn't recheck is right past the boss fight room

just backtrack from there, you walk through like a village or whatever and it triggers a cutscene

Dark Souls II is the easiest souls game to plat, and it's really fun.

i only have shake off cape... hoping to get to dust off cape in an hour or two... im skipping all the optional bosses because ng+ is hard

fun fact: you don't have to fight cleric beast in ng+, you can buy the key since you already have the hunter badge it gives you

there are two cape emotes??

I read somewhere the soft-cap was 25 for STR so I didn't know if going past 30 was better or if putting some into Skill was instead. I tend to prefer the Saw Blade and Holy Blade most of the time, but I haven't messed around with the other skill weapons tbh.

just talk to the doll and see how your weapon damage changes if you put points into str/skill. on a good scaling weapon you'll still get some benefit from going over the soft cap but therll be diminishing returns

The blue dudes with lanterns dont shoot magic at you if you're under 15 insight. I'm sure there are more differences but that's the most noticable one that's confirmed

there's also the scythe dudes in the same area that get sick blue flames on their weapons, I heard that the insight stuff might only apply to people in the cathedral area though which kinda makes sense, I can't really think of anyone anywhere else that changes with insight

pistol comes out faster and does more damage, but blunderbuss has a cone and a bigger parry window

should I upgrade to the repeating pistol ever? does the damage really matter or is it easier to interrupt with? its literally the only thing I use pistol for

you can level bloodtinge and upgrade/gem the poo poo out of guns to get okay damage, but the repeater sucks for parries

I like that you have to figure that part out on your own, the runes also give you hints so it's not such a huge logic leap, but definitely one of the coolest moments.

I went camping this weekend, the Lunar Eclipse was very appropriate.

its fairly freakin obvious when you walk through an ominous door onto a plank leading to a glowing magical lake with a wheelchair wizard pointing towards the edge

what's the message system/culture like on bloodborne? being a colossal easily pleased idiot, I can't help but cackle at 'horse ... therefore wheel?', 'try dashing through but hole', 'listen carefully, skeleton!' etc. in inappropriate places, but I don't have a good sense of the funy message laughs of bloodborne and its more complex message system, beyond 'reeks of wheelchair, no mercy for elderly'.

if you put a message like "secret ahead, don't give up!" with the pointing gesture at a conspicuous wall you will get a lot of likes

the whip to cane transform attack is real good too, it's kind of bad for bosses until you upgrade it but crowd control is sick from the start

you can send people to the clinic? i had no idea

there's a big mean rear end in a top hat at the top of the clinic that i didn't kill because i guess you need him for sweet items later?

its kinda hidden, you have to go back to the clinic lantern and knock on the door to the room you started the game in

did that also fix the rest mode bug where the bosses would forget most of their moves?

it resets the game when you come out of rest mode now, but idk if they actually fixed the boss stuff, it happened if you just played the game for awhile too w/o resting
