Not sure how I feel about the model in that second image, but Chosen Undead as the main antagonist is an awesome idea. I mean do you see how Darkwraiths dress And yeah, you witness them murder Gywn and be "crowned" by Kaathe and Frampt in the ending cutscene of 1, but you see it from someone else perspective in gameplay. Dev's are describing it as "The Majora's Mask of Dark Souls". Though a quick note because the devs had to clarify it cause people were screaming "DEX, NO DEX", there's multiple classes, the W.I.P preview was running with the shinobi which is why they started them with nippon steel. Some people thought they were forcing you to play dex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 That looks good. My only complaint is that campfires are still used for checkpoints in a game set in the Age of Darkness. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only complaint is that campfires are still used for checkpoints in a game set in the Age of Darkness. It's kinda weird since they even went the extra mile to change the Estus to a new healing item/system Maybe it's W.I.P. But then again, as Gywn's pendent indicates, the fire seems to be at the point of cinders but still barely alit and darkness has fallen, but not fully spread forth. Apparently there's a game time limit (indicated by "one cinder goes out") before the fire is fully extinguished, but Gywn's willpower is so strong his pendent is throwing back the flow of time, allowing you to reset the world state and the flames, so the player can reset the timer at the cost of losing progression (while keeping your level and items), Hence the Majora's Mask of Dark Souls.

Imagine fighting a necromancer who has like two summons that zero in on your the moment you break stealth. It was the same in Sekiro And I guess it's also balanced by the fact if you wait for night, were stealth is apparently the strongest, you got monsters lurking around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 BTW, a relatively recent Lore person has come on the scene and has become very popular (Vaati even used them as a source in one of his recent vidoes). Lokey Lore. I've been binge reading their stuff, they have a really unique method. They take the Japanese script and directly translate it with no localization attempts, and use that before the official English localization, and there's some pretty insane differences in the text. Not only that, they write in essay format, and alot of there stuff they gleam from the original text is fascinating. The way they write is entertaining, and they provide evidence (with no super sad music and misleading information like someone we all know ); they post direct screenshots, alongside direct dialogue and item descriptions whenever they make a claim. There essay on the truth nature of Rosaria is one of them most disgusting and harrowing reads i've read from a lore blog Super unsettling and gross, but high quality. (It postulates Rosaria was one of Gywnevere's divine children, and that after his coup in Anor Londo, the Pontif used her as a baby factory for both feeding and as a slave to Aldritch the Man-Eater as appeasement.) They also frame the state of Anor Londo in D3 as a civil war between Aldritch and the Pontiff (who people usually regard as being in cahoots, rather they point evidence to suggest the Pontiff was using Aldritch as simply a vessel to link the fire, but he lost control of him) https://lokeysouls.com/2021/02/12/rosaria/ https://lokeysouls.com/2020/12/14/the-deep/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I had been under the impression that gathering the Giant Souls in Ds2 brought hollow Vendrick closer to his true power but nah. Just learned that the power of the giants was so strong that even ages since their conquest, their hatred weakens Vendrick in his presence. Think about that, the hollow form of Vendrick is naturally that powerful without the giant souls debuffing him. Vendrick has to have be the strongest human in Souls, man defeated the incarnations of the Lord Souls, destroyed kingdoms and rose to the highest position all without being an undefeatable determined juggernaut of an undead. In a series where time travel can actually alter/predestine the world, you do zero damage to non-hollowed Vendrick and he instantly boots you from his time. Too bad he doubted becoming the dark lord in the last second lmao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gael is an absolute gigachad of determination that far exceeds anything Vendrick was ever capable of. But Vendrick was also a fearful human, who faltered in his final steps towards becoming a 'true monarch'. Who knows how many times Gael has died over the many many years. Gael from the start as a Slave Knight was undead and with his willpower was unbeatable through it, rather than raw power. Vendrick is the opposite. He succumbed to the curse rather then continue on as an undead, though all his achievements he had done was as a human. But props where its due for the sheer amount he was capable of. As badass as Alonne, Ivory King, Rhaime were, they don't hold a candle to Vendrick neither in prime nor as a hollow. Who only the literal remnants of the strongest of a race, who through absolute hatred can weaken him enough for you to even have a chance against him. It doesn't help he's one of the hardest hitting bosses in the game, that can also instant curse you with rare displays of dark magic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted July 23, 2021 Author Share Posted July 23, 2021 Glad to see Dark Souls modding finally take off. What's super impressive is the community made the tools themselves, cause there was zero provided by FROM (Most Japaense devs don't understand modding) unlike Beth games, and were seeting total conversions like this and Nightfall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that really unsettlingly cool detail, since the subtitle says "Aldritch as a martyr" so I guess he's trying to reach some spiritual truth by forcibly preventing himself from eating , suffering as a result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really creepy design It's interesting but I'd have taken more of what we're shown in the intro to Ds3. When Aldrich is overflowing his tomb with his gross sludge body. Those concept arts looks too solid, if you've seen the OG Mummy movies, I imagine Aldrich at that time to be kinda like that wall of sand scene but sludge and gore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a fully sludge Aldritch would be wayyyyyy out of the scope, hell it'd be very hard to do for FROM cause of how intensive the animations would be. Archthrones has custom animations, custom models, but there using heavily modified skeletons of existing stuff, nothing really supports a giant sludge monster.
