What do the big false eyes do?
>>122491280
anon this is a christian board
>>122491361

>>122491361
I think they have the curse smoke inside them. Gravelords can use the eyes to curse other people's worlds.
>tfw Dark Souls will never become a perfect game thanks to this shit
i'm 12 and what are gravelords
>>122492316
they've been skipping leg day since the new londo flooding
>>122492354
actual question or memeing? http://darksouls.wikidot.com/gravelord-servant it's a pretty dead covenant, mainly because few people continue into ng+, most just make a new char and those who do go in ng+ don't fight the covenanter to keep the phantoms
>about to fight nito
>scared shitless because of my previous playthrough as a mage
>kill him on my first try
That fight was so much easier as a melee it's not even funny.
Just beat Gaping Demon on my second try. Looking back, it was a pretty easy boss if you just practice patience.
How is Blight Town?
Why are Black Knight items so good?
The BKH is cheese city for bosses when used with Power Within.
should I level faith or int as a knight on my first playthrough? or just stick to strength for melee? doesn't faith/int affect weapon or armour usage?
>>122481963

Aside from the stuns/knockdowns, DaS2's animations aren't bad, but DaSdrecks gonna drag I guess.
>>122492896
oh shit nigga, is it your first time? you're in for a treat. if you grabbed the spider shield from the depths, you'll need it. if you didn't go get it, you'll need it. take your time and explore. also get yourself a crossbow (there's a heavy one in the depths before the bossfight) and a few bolts for the lower part, you'll understand when you get there.
>>122492896
>How is Blight Town
Spooky slideshow
>>122492896
I always just run and bow him to death.
I bow all the bosses that I can. I never die.
>>122493302
Got the the shield and heavy crossbow. I have a short bow too. Good enough?
>>122492896
>How is Blight Town?
it's okay, tiptorches mark ladders
ToTG is a nightmare tho so look forward to that
>>122493516
you need ammo. bow is good too, but crossbow is better imo
Just why is this "boss" so fucking shit? Easier than Pinwheel, design worse than Centipede, music is the most fucking atrocious in the entire game. Holy fuck I hope From get their shit together finally for DaS3, and the game will escape the fate of poor DaS1 forever stained by this piece of dick ''boss".
>>122493601
ToTG?
Fuck Sir Alonne, he's just some nips wet dream on the dev team. He literally hovers on the ground at the speed of light to your position without moving his limbs
>>122493302
Should I keep the sack equipped for poison resistance? Is Blight Town just a toxic slog of an area?
I didn't remember how fucking terrible the hit boxes are in this game. My character's weapon is literally inside Queelag and it doesn't count as a hit? What the actual fuck? Was the rest of the game riddled with ridiculous bullshit like this?
Also why am I constantly dropping well below 30fps on PS3? Even the 360 version wasn't this bad.
>>122493787
Tomb of the giants
>>122493947
The sack isn't really useful, you'll find way better poison and toxic resistant equip later. What you need is blooming purple moss, which cures both poison and toxic
>>122493947
yeah, get as much poison res as you can. but i don't want to spoil the fun. just explore and remember to keep that spider shield up
>>122493947
Dont bother fighting barbarians. Just lure them off edges.
Dart gun snipers are everywhere, and they will kill you. But they don't respawn. So as long as you're killing them you're making progress.
Play on PC, since on ps3/360 Blightown = 13fps-town.
>>122493947
Yeah
Toxic and poison for days
I hope you've got a few blooming moss clumps
Also, if you've invested in any INT, there's a spell hidden in Blight Town called remedy, which cures poison/toxin. Spell is found along with a pretty stylish light armor set and staff that can be used as a spear.

im sorry for your loss
>>122494416
nice tip. my int is whatever it comes stock with knight class. is it worth investing souls into just for Blight Town?
>>122494571
Not him but I get bad wristpain and therefore never bothered with getting a decent pc
Also many of my irl friends play on console
>>122494571
>>122494617
only loss is fps, as I got a PS3 for free. thank you for your condolences though.
>>122494621
nah, the poison is the least of your worries and the spell is well after the snipers, who you should be careful about. unless you plan on rocking a buff or two as well, in which case sure
>>122491141
>the big weird looking eyes are fake
Well shit never noticed.
>>122493257
they are must wrost, like on your pic, like i said ds1 feels natural, ds2 is too fast and have a weird effect, this swing don't even make sense
>>122494748
and graphics
and you can mod it
and you can use pvp watchdog
>>122495192
graphics yeah. never modded any game so ignorance is bliss. as for pop I stay hollow as much as possible to enjoy the game without invaders on my first run.
>>122495517
pvp*
>>122494823
haven't used any buffs before. worth the investment?
Had to format my HDD a while ago, just reinstalled the game, turns out none of my saves were stored in the steam-cloud, while they are stored for DS1.
I really don't want to start over from zero, and the cheat engine table from the OP doesn't seem to work. Is it outdated? Or does item swapping not work anymore?
>>122495517
Getting invaded is part of the fun
>>122495192
you can tell it's the same autist every time that's triggered by das2. all your complaints are weirdly vague shit which amount to nothing. yeah das1 sure feels "natural" with some guy swinging a giant club in a full set of armor and then somersaulting away with little effort
>>122495192
>have a weird effect
Oh look, DaS does it worse.
>ds1 feels natural
The reset of the club when it's still on the ground is just ugly. DaS2 has a proper recovery animation. Too bad DaS3 goes back to snapping, because apparently no animation is good animation;^)
>>122495820
me neither but i've seen some crazy shit with dmb. although i think that's a magical miracle
>>122495952
lol
>>122495820
Depends really
Offensive buffs are great against bosses and tougher minibosses, and defensive/stat buffs can be useful, especially when combined with an offensive weapon buff.
Power Within (a pyromancy spell found in Blight Town) has no stat requirements, and only needs a pyromancy flame to be cast. It increases all of your damage output by 40%, including weapon buffs, and increases stamina regen, however it also slowly drains your HP.
Combine power within with a higher-tier weapon buff, and you can shred bosses in seconds.
>>122495820
Yeah, Miracle buffs are pretty good. Some nice defensive stuff too.
>>122496236
damn. I freed that swamp Pyro guy in the depths so maybe I can get fireball from him later.
>>122496219
is he flying backwards?
>>122496219
wow this looks all sorts of wrong
>>122496424
Yeah, once you make it back to Firelink Shrine, he'll be there and give you a pyromancy flame as thanks for saving him, and he'll sell spells and upgrade your flame. Pyromancy is really useful if you don't want to make investments into Faith/Intelligence, since you'll only need attunement slots. There's a few useful non-offensive spells like Iron Flesh, which makes you super tough, but you'll move really slow. Flash Sweat lets you tank fire damage, etc.
>>122496219
this reminds me that visually das1 looks like a turd even with muh art direction
>>122496971
falling with style
>>122496971
I think that was a backhop into a plunging attack
they've always had a wide area of effect so they're not almost impossible to connect with

THANK YOU RNGESUS, GOD BLESS
>>122490859
Have you accepted the fact that DaS3 will be 30fps on PC yet?
>But DaS2 was 60
DaS2 used a different engine, or at least a heavily modified one.
DeS, DaS, Bloodborne and DaS3 uses the same engine, and all of them are 30fps.
>It'll be modded anyway, like in DaS
And we have no clue how much shit that will fuck up.
In DaS, physics and other things were tied to fps. We were just lucky that it wasn't very noticeable. Who's to say it will be the same in 3?
>i can deal with a few physics glitches anyway
Even if the glitches turns out to be minor, we don't know how Bamco will react to the mod.
Remember, they softbanned innocent people who picked up a weapon that was dropped by a hacker. How do you know they won't go full retard?
>They didn't ban people for modding DaS
They also didn't ban infinite health etc hackers. Remember, DaS was Froms first attempt at modern PC ports.
Accept it now, lest you be gravely disappointed later.
>First time playing DaS, loved DeS
>Doing well so far. Made it to Arnor Londo and crafted Quelaag's Furysword
>Spam leveled my Endurance so I can wear EK set and Medium Roll

>2016 - 1
>games running at 30 fps on pc
you know I never noticed until now that in DS1 you can shave off few frames from startup of any action by doing it right after pivoting.
at least it looks that way to my eye.
>>122498359
I didn't say it was good or bad
>>122498637
I sure hopw you mastered the parry so you canonehit the knights on your way to the boss a hundred times,

I know Bandit is the best class to start as for PvP builds in DS1, but what's the best class to start as for PvP in DS2?
>>122500507
deprived
>>122501028
wrong. you permanently have faith and int abnormally high.. its hard to get hit someone with your pyromancy/lightning when they know how to play.. magics only roll in pvp is weapon buffs or to heal. sometimes you can do tricky stuff but its not gonna happen that much in arenas. 1h melee reins supreme
>>122500507Bandit
Or Knight, if you want to use both flynn's ring and TDR
>>122498395
Is it a good sword or just for looks
>>122501920
knights honor, but people must call it BALLER SWAG SWORD for a reason
>>122498478
DaS3 and BB are based off a heavily modified version of the DaS1 engine. You have no idea what kinds of improvements they could have made. It could be 30fps, or it could be 60fps. Either way it's a stupid thing to argue over when we both know so little. It's 4chan though so I won't be surprised if you try.
Is Fume sword buffable / resin-able?
>>122502816
I'm not sure about resins, but I'm 100% sure you can buff it with spells
>>122501920
so pvp cred pretty much?
Is there anything worthwhile in New Londo Ruins and Catacombs? 2spooky5me
>>122503768
lots. at what point are you in the game? finishing catacombs lets you get 20 estus from bonfires, new londo has some nice treasures
>>122503768
>New Londo
Very Large Ember
Titanite Chunks / Slabs (from Darkwraiths)
Magic / Enchanted blacksmith
>Catacombs
Great Scythe
Tranquil Walk of Peace
Fire / Chaos blacksmith
>>122503768
be careful, New Londo has the most shit boss in history.
Does WoG deal lightning, or physical damage in DS2?
>>122504417
i think ltn but licia deals physical for some fucking reason
>>122504145
rang church bell, omw to Blight Town. I think level 18
>Dragons are apparently weak to lightning damage

>every time I think they are just in range I miss but hear the contact sound
>>122504770
go to the start of blighttown after spending any souls you can. sprint past the ghosts, on your right you can see an item, it's a firekeeper soul, get that even if you have to die after. then boot it

>>122505141

>>122505141

i meant new londo. also if you have the master key there is a shortcut there. going upwards to blighttown seems easier to me but only do that when you unlock fast travel or dont sit in the upper blighttown bonfire
anyone playing Dark Souls II on PS4 ? I wonder if game is alive on that platform
>>122495952
it's different, but it does have a effect, das effect is smaller and white near the top, while ds2 effect is much bigger and the character moves the weapon way faster than ds1
>>122496219
this looks more like das effect, in all other webms i've seen it was that distorted air effect
>>122498637
my cousin was so afraid he got full havels and killed them on his first try
Just started up NG+. Should I bother with fighting the Pursuer the first chance I get?
>Oh look, DaS does it worse.
So looking at the Dark Souls III gameplay and trailers, I wonder what's wrong with big knights in the game? Can't they stand on their feet? The test boss, the trailer big fucker, the ice knight, none know how to fucking stand on their feet.
>>122505906
they are super giant and skinny how would they stand on their feet?
they would have to be like gough to stand on their feet
>>122505906
humanoid bosses need a bit more vaiety
>there are people who actually bought DaS2
>>122502350
You don't need it for the Knight's Honor achievement homie.
>>122506346
as I look at it, the ice knight could be skating through ice to rush at you, or maybe do some sword swing and throw some sharp ice shards. But come on, make him a dog with a sword?
>>122506482
>there are people that bought ds2 AND ds2soft
>>122498478
>DeS, DaS, Bloodborne and DaS3 uses the same engine, and all of them are 30fps.
And thank fucking god for this. DS2 is borderline unplayable for me, I sunk hundreds of hours in 1 and got all the achievements but I still feel the compulsion to play it because there's nothing better to play.

Loading up DS1 on PC. DSfix still work?
This little sequence gives me a lot of hope for DS3. Projectiles seem to not stick to the player as much and the second enemy swing looks very good as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCSKuVaeCXM
Does this look like a Souls game to you?
>>122508637
Note how the swing doesn't pivot around to follow the player after the animation starts.

I just don't think it's an issue to tweet at the publisher. Maybe if the game crashes for or you can't run it, or something technical like that not related to game design.
Speaking of tweeting at Namco, are we not gonna try and do something about the PC release not being delayed again and get treated like second class players?
>>122509592I understand, i'm doing that as well. Good luck mate.
I've been looking up information, and I really don't fucking understand it.
What am I supposed to do to get Rhea to sell me miracles? I have to kill Peterus at some point to stop him from killing her, right? When do I have to do it?
>>122508562
Everything still works except DSCfix.
>>122509552
why
>>122510364
You have to rescue Reah, then kill Petrus so he doesn't kill her. She will sell her miracles after you have rescued her.
>>122510364
Rescue Rhea from the Tomb, then talk to her at the Parish cathedral. You got plenty of time to buy her stuff before Petrus murder her.
>>122507836
Why not both?
>>122510364
>What am I supposed to do to get Rhea to sell me miracles?
Help her after she ventures into the Tomb of the Giants
>I have to kill Peterus at some point to stop him from killing her, right?
Ideally yeah
You don't absolutely need to, if you visit Rhea immediately in the Parish and buy everything she sells
But he'll probably kill her eventually otherwise
Any recommendations on a Templar/paladin build and armor set in Ds2?
Asides from the insolent and heide set im at a loss.
When is the next Steam sale? No way i'm paying full price for SotFS
From my experience Elana only seems to summon Velstad if you are at least slightly hollowed, she has never summoned him when I'm human.

It's not just the Ancient Dragon. Apparently the Guardian Dragon has more lightning resistance too. Same with Sinh. The only mobs/bosses that have weak resistance to lightning in DaS2 are dudes in armor and dudes in water.
>>122517431
I'm sorry you're that bad anon

Smelter and Sir Alonne
>>122515170
>Inuitinua
That reminds me. I started watching her playthrough and she went deprived first round. Yikes.
>>122515170
Bandit knifes, sure.
>>122518109
:^)
>>122518117
Can't really help you with Sir Alonne, found him to be pure luck, but for Smelter, it's easier to run past everyone if you only lowered the bridge on your side, so the 3 alonne knights on the other side of the bridge won't aggro immediately and block your way.
>>122518117
Try watching some speed runs. It really fucking helps.
If you're talking DLC then I can't help you there. Haven't done that.
But if we're talking Smelter Demon from Iron Keep, I think it's personally easy. I have to kill like 3 Alonne Knights on the way at most and wait for that last archer to charge a shot and just sprint to the boss fog. He never pulls out his sword in time.
Fast roll should be at 33% equip load, not 25%.
Discuss.

>>122518904
I don't care. I don't even upgrade my equipment anymore and equip only for fashion purposes.
>>122508637
To be optimistic, it's probably gonna be a better game than DaS1. It's not even a hard feat, it's just that DaS2 decided to rebuild the formula from the ground up to mixed results. DaS3 seems to build off of what DaS1 already had and polish up whatever mechanics needed refinement.
>>122518904
Fast roll <50%
Mid roll <100%
Fat roll everything else.
>>122519207
>You're not stuck, you chose it.
I chose to play Souls today. The only person I was connected to after spending an hour building nodes was ONE forest hunter who was WAY too low level to fight me. After invading me a couple times, he just kept jumping off the cliff and going home.

Pls help, just finished Phalanx and I want to go to 3-1 for soul ray
I don't know where people get off saying Fume Knight is hardest DaS2 boss, Sir Alonne is harder.
>>122523870
>not lud and zallen
Sir Alonne is easy as fuck
Lud and Zallen is O&S on fucking steroids hidden behind a bullshit of electric reindeer.
>>122524043
Lud and Zallen are easy to dodge my man and have less health. Easy to take down one before the other comes.
Sir Alonne is harder to predict and more aggressive.
>>122523870
I forgot where I saw it but the sucess rate for Fume is the lowest of all the bosses in game
Alonne was harder for me but I can see why Fume is one of the hardest
>>122524043
>implying O&S is hard
>Implying an even harder version of them wouldn't still be easy mode
now can someone tell me good magic weapons/catalysts to use in DeS???
>>122524187
>>122524156
Bosses with single targets are always ridiculously easy.
>>122524187
Fume is pretty simple once you realize you can easily kite his attacks and punish. Can't do that as easily with the spastic Alonne since he moves away so fast after attacking.
Of all the bad ends in Dark Souls, Oscar had it the worst.
Dude thought he was the prophesied undead hero of humanity and ended up dying in the prison, pinning all his hopes and dreams onto a mute stranger he first saw 10 minutes ago
>>122524353
I understand that, but on first encounters Fume has a very high kill rate, higher than most bosses
>>122524492
tfw i jumped
>>122524618
Alonne is a kek and has a small penisyou can tell from his big swordso he's more dangerous in battle from built up rage.
>>122524187
Dragon Bone Smasher enchanted with Cursed Weapon.
Would you play a Dark Souls MMORPG, /dsg/?
I'm torn on the idea. I would love it mechanically, provided combat was expanded further and better balanced, but thematically it wouldn't work since Dark Souls is all about the loneliness of a desolate, hopeless, dying world.
>>122524156
>Easy to take down one before the other comes.
If you have enough dps to kill one tiger before the other arrives, then you're basically cheesing your way through the fight.
jesus they better fix the fucking netcode in ds3. im so fucking tired of losing lagfights and getting taunted in arenas
>>122525987
why not instances like the first guild wars
I think that just for one day everybody should play as Giantdads. Just everyone with chaos blade.
So then hopefully Fromsoftdick or whatever fuck they're called understands how much of a fucking awful decision it was to buff an already broken weapon for people who pride themselves on being better playing as weebs, and then never nerf them under any fucking circumstances. Fucking HORSESHIT.
I'm done with this, I'm fucking done with this game.
I'm tired, every night, EVERY FUCKING NIGHT, EVERY FUCKING DAY the same bullshit. I'm done.
It's ridiculous. And you know what? Katanafags will always say "oh it's because you are bad".
BULL FUCKING SHIT. When I play with katanas I do substantially better, SUBSTANTIALLY! It does no comparison.
I think all players should be given the same fucking weapon stats, equalized - all stats everything.
Make them carbon fucking copies .
That way I will never have to say "katanas are OP".
>>122526635
longsword > chaos blade
its a fact, and i can reveal it now that ds2 is dead. also youre a scrub if you dont have at least 2 items in each hand you alternade between. so much potential ur neglecting
>>122526635
No wonder katanas are OP, they are folded a thousand times and is the greatest weapon known to men
made it to first bonfire in Blight Town with no deaths. Can you jump to the big ledges on the bridge or is that a bad idea
>>122525987
no.
mmorpg subsystems that assume other players tend to dilute the game mechanics. even if you instance everything, building game design around other players is dangerous. economies, drop rates, etc.
phantoms and messages are already a very clever design for player interaction that doesnt negatively effect the game subsystem design. what do you dislike about it?
>>122527134
>jump
it's always a bad idea to jump unless you know what you are doing
>>122527134
you dont have to ever drop or jump in blight town to progress.
the only thing that strictly requires jumping is an optional cute item, which is probably what you are thinking about. it is makable, but it's tight. it also doesnt lead anywhere except to the item you clearly see.
so yes, it is a bad idea, but if you want it, you can do it.
>>122527236
I wasn't talking about replacing Dark Souls mechanics with MMO mechanics, I was talking about a hypothetical MMORPG with Dark Souls themes and mechanics. True, direct interaction would take away things like phantoms and messages, but that just goes with the territory of the genre. I never said I dislike those things, I have no idea why you assumed that.
>>122524452
>Dude thought he was the prophesied undead hero of humanity
no he didn't
>>122525479
I wonder how they have sex
>>122527305
>>122527447
well I just jumped to the Iaito sword no problem. But I was talking about the ledges on the big stone bridge where the bonfire is.
>>122524492
i saw this message kek
>>122527582
they dont
>>122527509
because you said yourself that it takes away from the theme. I would argue that mmo subsystems take away from the mechanics.
for example having tightly balanced encounters and design is a difficult task already to do for a single player game, but you can generally know where players are going to be.
having tightly balanced encounters and design that has to stand up against a massive amount of players is nearly impossible. the two obvious solutions are to make it possible for all users, which dilutes the encounter to nothingness, or make it a requirement to engage multiple players or gear checks or whatever, which dilutes the encounter to a spreadsheet.
both of these are far inferior game mechanics than "if it has a health bar, you can kill it"
>>122527582
sensually, through an extremely deep personal bond.
>>122527582
i always wonder about sex in souls games
nobody is gonna wanna have a kid in dark souls and certainly no woman would want to get pregnant, so you cant have vaginal sex due to the risk of pregnancy
so does everyone just do anal/gay or is dark souls masturbation city
>>122527509
Don't really know. For me, the main appeal of the Souls games is that they basically feel like soloing a MMORPG dungeon with elite mobs in places. A Souls MMORPG would feel like having 3 phantoms all the time with you, which is fun, but not always. And most bosses in Souls games are based around fighting one player. If they were based around fighting multiple characters, then they're going to be drastically different (they would be more like the challenge zones in DaS2).
>>122527735
why would you do that.
anyway, tip for blight town in general: as an addenum for "torches mark the ladders"
"you dont have to jump or drop if you dont want to"
now that you have the iaito, you can get everything on foot if you try hard enough.
When does DaS NG+ gets hard? Everything up to Anor Londo has been a breeze
DaS2 is a meme theme park filled with trash content that appeals to reddit tier "praise le sun XD" memers.
Fact.
>>122528004
why wouldn't they want to have kids in dark souls? people exhibit unbelievable unchecked selfishness in that respect. I mean shit, look at the world around you. There's plenty of people in the 3rd world countries, full of violence, that can barely do better than "not starving" some days, they still have kids. Even in the first world, drug addicts decide to have kids, dumbass financially unstable teenagers decide to have sex and then the girl self-righteously decides to keep the kid. I mean shit, from a moral standpoint does anyone have the right to sentence someone to the potential suffering that life comes with? nope. Will they do it anyway nearly every time? yep.
>>122528142
For some reason, NG+ is just a boost in hp in percentage instead of really trying to balance the difficulty in every areas. Since the later mobs have more hp, they also gain more hp in NG+ than the mobs in the early areas.
>>122528214
Said while posting a pepe
>>122528214
You know one of the first things DaS3 has shown is that they're bringing back the Sunbros and Praise the Sun, right? You're even able to make a Praise the Praise the Sun message.
Your franchise is dead :)
>>122528004
>people that don't want kids avoid sex
I don't think you understand people
>>122528334
The damage dealt by the enemis also increase, don't it? I feel like i lose more HP when taking hits, but i could still block every single one of Sif's attacks.
>>122528464
Did you get this triggered over Patches reappearing in Dark Souls too? I'm sure you have a great reason for why a character from an entirely different universe can appear Dark Souls aside from fanservice.
>>122528627
yep, damage and health pools are all that increase iirc, mechanics should all stay the same, and armor values etc should also stay the same.
>>122528004
cum outside niga
also i dont think undead can have children, if you are talking about ciaran and artorias, they lived in a non fucked times, shit happened but overall the world was ok.
>>122528836
niga pls patches is in armored core
>>122528836
Filthy Souls babb. If you were a true Fromsoft fan you'd know that patches is a re-occurring character throughout Fromsoft franchises like Souls games and Armored Core.
>>122529343
>>122529414
He didn't say Patches was from Dark Souls.
Waaaait
>>122529343
>>122529414
Fanservice has to start somewhere. Bitching about one recurring element of a series while being okay with another recurring element of a series is hypocritical and just screams autism.
Fucking reddit "prepare le die" memers and PvP "muh deep meta" fgc rejects ruined this franchise. Remember how much better DeS was when these fucking morons hadn't taken over yet?
It's over, Souls series is finished.
>>122530156
People like to pretend DaS2 was the end but we know better.
Where do people put their signs down for Seath?
I'm a Sunbro and I like to help 2 or 3 people with a boss before I beat him myself and the only bosses I'm currently at are Seath and Sanctuary Guardian. I'm SL62.
What character should I do after I finish with my current Dex/Faith build
Greatsword + Crossbow or Dual Shields?
>>122529831
it's not fanservice miyazaki just like him and put it as a joke
it's completely different from the fan service of ds2, THIS is fanservice, the description of the sunlight spear:
>
"A miracle that launches a spear of lightning.
Said to be the legacy of an ancient clan whose leader was revered as the God of Sun.
>The name of the clan has been lost to time, but the gross incandescence of our magnificent father shall never wane."
>>122530156
it's not reddit that invented that, it's bandai namco.
>>122530478
hylics is the new undertale?
>>122530634
what
>>122527582
>>122528000
I love short girls.
>>122528004
Think about it, almost all the women in the game drop twin humanities. All the woman in souls are already pregnant.
>>122529061
Ciarin and Artorias aren't even human. So what are they? They aren't giants, and artorias has a soul so he can't be a pygmy. Are they gods (not deities like gwyn/nito/velka, but gods like pikachu and snorlax)?
>>122531568
>They aren't giants, and artorias has a soul so he can't be a pygmy.
you are new on dark souls 1 aren't you?
>>122530623
By that logic Sunbros aren't fanservice in DaS3 either. Miyazaki liked them enough to bring them back.
