I was worried that it being open world would mean the cool explicitly and lovingly designed areas would go away but once they got into an area of interest it was unmistakably a well crafted Souls level.

Groovelord Neato posted:As far as I've seen it's their regular multiplayer but I may have missed something. Mostly but if you're solo the only way to get invaded is to use a consumable dried finger equivalent e: also apparently invaders get an item that spawns them close to the host that they can use both to re-approach one that's running away from them and to retreat from an engagement and regroup Catgirl Al Capone fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Nov 11, 2021 |

DS2 magic was very good even after being heavily nerfed but that's mostly down to the base cast speed being really good and affected by attunement instead of dex as well as more explicitly supported binocular sniping

Magic is simple but great in DeS, even the utility spells are often pretty fun and useful and there's strong pressure tools for PvP.

Skeletons in fireworks shrine, big crystal lizard in the opening of ds3, etc. the lothric knights patrolling the walls in 3 gave me more trouble than anything in Heide's Tower and that's on the required first path of that game

if you don't pick up a bow as a sidearm if your build can use it in ds2 you're missing out, possibly the best it feels in the series. shots come out way faster so you can effectively strafe and poo poo.

I think the ghosts are mostly fine but that a bunch make their way to the ladder in Ingward's building and kick your rear end while you're climbing and there's nothing you can do about it if you don't kill them elsewhere in the building sucks

Brandfarlig posted:I love DeS but I have basically never configured my loadout at all depending on where I'm going except for maybe having some poison cures. You find a decent armor setup and a weapon you like and that's good enough for everything. Really? I remember the enemies in different areas having pretty massive resistances to certain weapon attributes, like on the level of Vagrant Story enemies.

Dark Souls isn't high fantasy, the battle between "good and evil" was more of a struggle for dominance between dragons and gods with no obvious moral actors and on top of that occurred ages ago.

DourCricket posted:Dark Souls is DEFINITELY high fantasy - magic is all over the place, Gods interact with the world, the very plot is about the fate of the entire universe of the setting... The main character might be the only 'low' fantasy part, and perhaps not even then because you're literally The Chosen One. an important aspect of high fantasy is simple moral calculus, there has to be obvious good guys and bad guys. dark souls is closer to pantheistic mythology than high fantasy.

Generally if you spread your stats thin there's still stuff with high base damage you can use, including elemental upgrades. You might not be able to use everything you'd want to but you can't really screw yourself over to the point you can't finish the game, even SL1 players end up with strong and capable characters (they just need to be more careful about taking damage).

ymgve posted:The thing is that the people that beat these games naked and with broken swords are gods at dodging and ripostes. If you're really bad at those, builds start to matter a lot more. But those are learned skills, not innate, and as long as someone is patient they can pick them up for themselves and will probably even learn faster throwing themselves into the deep end

Brandfarlig posted:You could, but there's basically no reason to level both int and faith on top of a physical damage stat since there's no spells that support that until later games. You can make builds that use low-requirement spells getting scaling from the opposite stat using the Velka Talisman or Darkmoon Catalyst. i.e. a Faith build that can also cast Dark Bead and in the process also has access to the various Oolacile and Vinheim utility spells. There's nothing as synergistic as hexes but that doesn't mean you can't mix it up.

Nuns with Guns posted:The ratbro covenant ruled and I wish/hope another game has a goofy PVP trap hell zone like it. Just make the inevitable forest-hunter-alike in Elden Ring function like that and you can have the option to kit out your hazard swamp/forest and then other people can help invade in it or be haplessly dragged into it and hunted down. traps are really fun but we need traps that combo into each other seamlessly. recreate tecmo's deception in elden ring so i can watch a red invader stumble onto a springboard and be catapulted into ceiling spikes

there's some that sort of mix the qualities of human and monstrous bosses, many coincidentally being demonic in form. Flamelurker being one of the earliest examples, and it's really common in Bloodborne for obvious reasons.

Gort posted:I heard something about them making archery more of a primary weapon in this one rather than the traditional "pull it out if there's something you can't easily melee" that archery usually is in Souls games - what did they do to make that happen? I expect it will be a decent means of kiting overworld enemies safely on horseback
