That's why you open your inventory and drop everything stackable on the floor before the script takes your stuff. Because fuck losing 20 lockpicks, 20 multitools and god knows how many grenades because of a stupid script that doesn't read how many items there are in a stack. I just imagine JC puts them in the same place he keeps all of his ammo.

No mention of the mandatory prison section in Duke's Archives?

That's one of the few legit moments of pure bullshit in Dark Souls.

Unless you were using a walkthrough, there was no way in hell you could have known that Seath was invincible. So you get killed. Sent to the prison. You lose all your souls and humanity counter.

And unless you somehow survive all the way from the escape to going back to Seath's area, then you'll have lost whatever souls and humanity you had on you.

In GOG version you get upgraded stuff back.

Dragon Tooth is still shit, though. Loud, only shines against mooks that die quickly to everything, and can't knock doors open anymore since some patch. I'll keep the baton and the prod for half the inventory space and still have all my melee needs met.

Final Fantasy 6 and 7 both do this actually, albeit to a smaller degree. 6 tries to get you to play different parts of the cast at different points, but that doesn't stop the problem arising when you hit the final dungeon and have to make three teams. FF7 does something similar with the final boss depending on circumstances.

Better pray you were paying equal attention to your entire cast of party members or else.

Holy shit, you are missing out.
Even better because either dice or rapid-fire don't trigger counters (I forgot which, but I know that dice ignores defense, and fixed dice is even better). Only problem is you rely on RNG.
>>324125330
FF5 to an extent, but you actually can get some of that shit later. Less useful to though, and you can squeeze out with enough time if you grinded a bit ahead of time. You won't know to do that the first time through though.
