I feel like the way sidequests work is probably the biggest inspiration from Dark Souls the game took IMO, together with lore on items. The way sidequests can end up resolving in gotcha ways does really feel like From Soft quest design. Like hell (spoiling it for Roy and CJacobs) by not taking the teleporter to Albero inmediately before Ten Piedad and giving him the herbs you get locked out of the best ending for Tirso's quest which you can see by the grave right to the church. It doesn't make you lose any rewards besides the achievement but is as much of a middle finger as Gemino's quest and it's great.

I noticed how every one of the discarded bells on the mountain has a weirdo in it, and the game does not call attention to it at all. They are not even enemies or NPCs they are just unexplained bell weirdoes. There's almost certainly going to be a lot more weird details like that going through.

Such a fantastic game. I bought it for my Switch and bounced off it at first. Then in the middle of last year my PC motherboard died and while waiting for a replacement, I got my Switch hooked up to my monitor and smashed out this game. The sequel looks good too.

This game has a number of points of no return and failable quests, I'm not even sure if it's even possible to get the best ending on the first go around.

You can definitely get Ending B (which was the true ending at launch) on a fresh file. However I'm not sure about Ending C, the canonical ending added in the Wounds of Eventide DLC.

As far as I can tell there's nothing stopping you from getting to Ending C on a first playthrough but you can (and probably will) get locked out of it if you don't fulfill its requirements which obviously I will not dig in.

anilEhilated posted:I... don't think so? From what I remember, the NG+ specific bosses are not required for it. Just looked it up, there's an Ending C speedrun (which I won't link to here for spoiler reasons, but the final time is 1:42:57 by Dacktem) which starts from a fresh file. It's possible you may need to have beaten the game once already for the specific quest chain to trigger, but you don't need to be on an NG+ file to do so.

"And thus guilt, repentance, mourning and every pain of the soul were visibly and tangibly manifested, everywhere and in all of us." Well stop doing those things then. If regret and repentance cause horrible magic things to happen then it's important to never feel bad about anything, just do as thou wilt and never reflect on any of it.

I don't think that's a sore on the boss' head - fairly sure it's a hole in her skull exposing her brain. Y'know, in case it wasn't grisly enough.

Hah. The whole idea of a person being so beautiful that their image was used as an actual representation of divinity was one of the sticking points in general critiques of the culture of Catholic society; a lot of those late Medieval and Renaissance pictures of saints and the like were modeled from a bunch of pretty people, some of them sex workers, and there were a quite a few people who were not happy to have divinity associated with those types of people. Edit: Well! Since it wasn't brought up in the video, and you've done his quest, I think it's safe enough to mention that Gémino is very obviously inspired by a saint who often fell afoul of the phenomenon I mentioned just then, i.e. St. Sebastian. You may have seen representations of him tied to a tree, shot through with several arrows , yet looking like a jeans model. You may NOT be surprised to hear that a number of male prostitutes were chosen as the model for Seb - but he wasn't always represented thus. The earliest representations of him had him as he was described, i.e. an older man (he was a captain of the Roman legions) who was positively riddled with arrows (descriptions compared him to a hedgehog after the execution). Interestingly enough, despite his popularity, he very likely did NOT actually exist as a genuine person. And amusingly, him being shot with arrows wasn't how he died. Him surviving the fusillade was the miracle attributed to him. After he was freed from the post/tree he was tied to and the arrows removed he went back to the person who ordered his execution who, when confronted with him again, had him beaten to death. THAT one stuck. Samovar fucked around with this message at 12:54 on Feb 11, 2024 |

The Lone Badger posted:"And thus guilt, repentance, mourning and every pain of the soul were visibly and tangibly manifested, everywhere and in all of us." You're underestimating the power of Catholic Guilt. I only went to Catholic school for elementary and the scars haven't closed yet. You might as well ask a radical Evangelist to play Pokemon  Our Lady of the Charred Visage is real cool because, at the very least for Spanish and Latin American Catholicism, we absolutely love Our Ladies and Virgin Marys to the point you can fine like, a specific one venerated on each village with an specific miracle attributed to them. also yeah gently caress the ghost ladies, between that and the hoppers and the fire breathers the convent is absolutely a pain if you go there second

Excuse me, her name is Baronesa Fantasma de Cera, have some manners  Jk, just wanted to check the Spanish names for the enemies to see if there were any good puns, but sadly it's clear the English names were the originals, since most of them are unchanged (cause they are Spanish to begin with, like Guardiainfante) or just direct translations (like Gh There are two exceptions though, Charging Knells are called Esquilones in Spanish (which is the name for both Cowbells and small church bells) and the Enraged Pilgrims on the way to Albero are called... Peregrinos Enfadados (as in, Angry Pilgrims. Like Mildly Infuriated Pilgrims)

The idea of a boss you only have have one chance to beat is kinda weird, I wonder what gave them that idea. I mean it's antithetical to every modern game I can think of that doesn't have an iron-man mode.

I forget if I mentioned it yet, but Enraged Pilgrims just slowly charge at you with their knife - and since they don't actually swing the knife at all, they cannot be parried.
