The Good Doctor Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Counting everyone, and going off lore first and gameplay second I think I’d rank them: Crucible Carian Tree Sentinel Night's Cavalry Haligtree Redmane Cleanrot Leyndell Banished Mausoleum Cuckoo Godrick 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Tree Sentinel would probably top the list though if they were all the OP Diomedes variant. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 In terms of "mentioned only" characters, who are you most interested by? Miquella doesn't count, he's in game Mine is either the Gloom-Eyed Queen, or the Stormlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm much more impressed with the "War-torn village" area they showcased, especially since it takes place during the Lothric Civil War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm much more impressed with the "War-torn village" area they showcased, especially since it takes place during the Lothric Civil War. Honestly instead of having us revisit an unrecognizable Earthen Peak in the Ringed City dlc, I'd have much rather revisted a desolated, rebuilt and destroyed time and time again Heide's Tower. It's very likely where Gwynevere and Flann fled to from Anor Londo, before the former came to Lothric. I don't think Archthrones is doing the whole converging lands thing, but going back to Drangelic, even if just the coast is a fancy idea I'm in favor of.

I could describe Ranni as many things both favorable and darkly, but insecure isn't one of them. Despite what her fanboy lovers think, she's a fucking sinister character, if not second only to Marika herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it makes them rich. I’m always happy to see a game succeed on its own without microtransactions or any of that nonsense. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
