    What makes Dark Souls 1 better than Dark Souls 3?

    Posted: 06 Jun 2020 11:03 PM PDT

    So I played the games very out of order. I really loved 3, which was my first souls game and it's one of my favorite games of all time. I couldn't get myself into 2 yet but I'm still trying, and I recently bought dark souls remastered. I understand everybody has their own preferences but the general consensus I've seen online is that most of the community says dark souls 1 is the best. But honestly, I'm around blighttown and new Londor and it's a great game, but I personally don't think it holds up against 3. Anyone wanna talk about it?

    What are some easily missable dialogues or events?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2020 02:04 AM PDT

    Example 1: Patches moves down from catacombs to tomb of giants after you kill Capra demon and Rhae + company enters the catacombs, this misses out on a dialogue and an event.

    Example 2: Petrus pretends to be shocked about Rhae and her companions vanishing in the catacombs, you can pay Lautrec to rat him out after which he stops pretending and maniacally laughs about Rhae vanishing.

    I'm looking for events or dialogue that are similarly obscure/easy to miss as these 2, particularly the Patches one is bad because who would go into the catacombs before even finishing Blightown.

    My understanding of the story.

    Posted: 06 Jun 2020 11:41 PM PDT

    Hi, everyone. I think that Dark Souls is awesome but I don't have a complete grasp of the story/lore. This could help me appreciate the game even more. I was wondering if anyone could help me fill in my gaps in knowledge when it comes to the story of the game. (I'm going to be placing my questions in parentheses to make it easier to find them. Not everything in parentheses are going to be questions but all questions are going to be in parenthesis.) Sorry if this is overly confusing, but let's roll with it!

    So in my understanding of the game, you are one of the many cursed undead, branded with the darksign, which means that you cannot die. You are locked away in one of many undead asylums because there is nothing else to do, maybe other than burning your body (there are many piles of burning bodies in the Lower Undead Burg. I'm not sure if these bodies are being burnt to fix this problem, but it's just what I assumed.) Anyways, you are freed from your cell by Oscar, who throws you down a body with a key on it. This is also something I'm confused about. (Does Oscar somehow know that you're special, or is he just a nice guy who decided to free a hollow from their cell?) So, back to my interpretation of the story. At the beginning of existence, there was the age of ancient dragons, and everything was stagnant and bare. The world was completely in a stasis. Then out of nowhere, underground, fire appeared. This is also something I don't understand. (How did the fire appear?) Fire then introduced many natural elements of the world: temperature, light and dark, life and death, etc. A couple big things I don't understand are: (I know that humans came from the birth of fire, but how. Also where did the Lords acquire Lord Souls. Where did they get them. What even differentiates Lords from humans. Are they just some mangled, more powerful versions of humans?) Anyways, with the lord Souls, the lords fought the dragons and wiped most of them out, ushering in the age of fire. (How do the lord souls give the lords extra strength? I'm pretty sure that sometime around this time, people started to be branded by the darksign. I'm not so sure how this happened.) This is probably one of my largest gaps in lore knowledge. After a while, the fire started to fade, and the age of fire started to draw to a close. The lords were desperate to keep it going and the Witch of Izalith created a false flame. This backfired and created demons. (I'm also pretty confused about the Witch of Izalith. Who are her daughters of chaos. Are they also lords or are they similar the Gwyn's knights? How did she eventually turn into the Bed of Chaos?) Anyways, the false flame created demons, which screwed up the world pretty bad. (Did this false flame also create Lost Izalith?) Desperate to keep the age of fire going, Gwyn sacrificed himself as kindling to prolong the age of fire. (Also confused a lot about the Kiln and the Gwyn boss fight but I'll talk about that later.) I don't know why he sacrificed himself, but I think it was because he was scared of the dark...? Of course his sacrifice only lasted so long until the flames faded once again and someone needed to link the flame. After a couple of these loops, I'm pretty sure this is where the game starts. (Does the undead you play as become chosen because they kill the Asylum Demon, or do they kill the demon because they are chosen.) (Also this may be one big theory by me, but is the whole chosen undead prophecy even true? I mean it is obviously advantageous to the Lords and people like Gwyndolin to keep the age of fire going, so is it such a stretch to say that they fabricated this prophecy? Is there no chosen undead and is it just dumb luck that you made it the whole way through the game, assuming you didn't quit?) For some reason the player character decides to go through with the whole prophecy upon leaving the asylum. (Are you going through with the prophecy to prevent yourself from hollowing, or is it just to fulfill Oscar's dying wish?) So when you arrive in Lordran, you go and ring to two bells of awakening to learn the fate of the undead. Then you talk to Frampt and learn that you must travel to Anor Londo. (Why is it beneficial to Frampt that the age of fire continues? I didn't meet Kaathe in my first playthrough but I know that he wants the age of dark/ man to start. How are Frampt and Kaathe related and why do they want such different things. Also why is the age of dark also called the age of man?) So you go through Sen's fortress. (what is Sen's fortress? Why is it magically connected with Anor Londo and why is the Iron Golem up there?) Anyways, you go through Anor Londo and get to Ornstein and Smough. (Why are they both guarding a fake version of Gwynevere?) Then you go through to get all of the Lord Souls to fill up the Lordvessel, and carry out the fate of the chosen undead, to succeed Lord Gwyn. (Why does the Lordvessel need the Lord Souls? Why do you need to kill Seath? Is he a lord? Can dragons be Lords? Why did Seath betray the dragons? Why doesn't Seath just give you the lord soul? He obviously is desperate to keep you away because he is smart enough to know that you're capable of killing him. He outsmarts you by locking you away. Since he's a dragon, why would he mind if the age of fire ended? Is the Soul just part of his body and he can't give it away?) Why is the Witch of Izalith a tree? Why are her daughters of chaos abominations, now? Also I am very confused about who the Four Kings are. Why do they have a lord soul if they aren't in the beginning cutscene, depicted as a lord? Why are they in the abyss?) After giving the Lords souls to the Lordvessel, a path appears to go into the Kiln of the First Flame. (What exactly is the Kiln? How do you meet Gwyn here if he's dead, by sacrificing himself? Why does he try to keep you from the linking the fire if he sacrificed himself to do that? Did he change his mind? After meeting Gwyn in the center of the Kiln, you kill him and decide whether you want to prolong the age of fire, or usher in the age of dark. (I have a pretty good understanding about the endings but what happens the the character after the age of dark ending? Do they become some sort of king?) The cycle of the ages continues for the rest of time. That's pretty much my understanding of the story and some questions about the lore. Below are going to be some miscellaneous questions.

    What's up with Ash Lake? Is the entirety of Lordran inside of the Great Hollow that you just left? Do Drangleic and Lothric have their own trees?

    In what ways are the flows of time convoluted?

    How do skeletons reanimate. It could be just some video game thing, but I doubt it, seeing as pretty much everything else in the game has an explanation.

    What's so bad about the age of dark other than that it's dark? Why does everyone want to prevent it?

    Why is the Bed of Chaos so bad?!?

    If you actually read this far, thank you so much. I'm sorry is there's typos, but I spent an hour typing this on my phone, so I don't really feel like proofreading. I would be so appreciative if you answered even one of my many questions. Thanks for your time, and Praise the Sun! gesture

    How hard would it be for a modder to create a new NPC?

    Posted: 07 Jun 2020 02:08 AM PDT

    If given voice acting, assets, and anything else the modder might need, how difficult would it be for a modder to create a brand new NPC? Is that in the realm of possibility where we are in the modding scene?

    Ornstein rant

    Posted: 06 Jun 2020 05:43 PM PDT

    He's a fucking slow pussy ass bitch. Everyone talks about how you should kill him first because he's more aggro and is usually closer to you but during my fight with O&S, there was approx an 80% chance at any given time that ornstein was "totally badass" slow walking at me doing jack shit checking his phone or some fucking thing. Meanwhile smough constantly charged my ass despite his bmi of like 1000. And when this dick ass finally charges at me across the arena, motherfucker back steps like 20 times and resumes doing said jack shit.

    Suck my dick ornstein. End of rant.

    Great Gray Wolf Sif makes my ps4 "overheat"

    Posted: 07 Jun 2020 03:48 AM PDT

    So whenever Sif is on screen, my ps4 gets really loud and "overheats" (usually it isnt actually hot at all, just warm.) the one time i actually let it happen, i had just turned the thing on and was at the entrance to the area before the fight. I ended up having to skip the intro cutscene and literally look away from Sif every time it started getting loud. Has anyone else experianced something like this?

    (Spoiler for DS1-3) Lore question about...

    Posted: 07 Jun 2020 01:05 AM PDT

    The Abyss.

    What is it exactly? I've come across a few lore sites about it but it doesn't seem to explain exactly what it is? So apparently Manus was human and got turned into the father of the Abyss? In the game, the Abyss is just a physical chasm and also seeping into New Londo for some reason even though they are no where near each other and separated by time?

    The reason I ask is the Abyss is referenced in all 3 DS games but what it is is never clear. It doesnt help that there also areas like Demon Ruins which are their versions of hell/the underworld and places like the old chaos in DS2 which is another brand of evil altogether??

    For example in DS3, you have the abyss watchers who were supposedly guarding Farron/Lothric against the abyss and through proximity to it were corrupted. But you kill them and the next area is just a catacomb area. In the wolnir fight you get transported to a pitch black arena. And after that the smouldering lake/demon ruins. Is this also the abyss that the watchers were guarding?

    In DS2 you have the 4 fragments of Manus scattered throughout 4 lost kingdoms. You also have areas like the old chaos which seems unrelated to the Abyss but equally evil? You also have the Chasms of Old which are implied to be the abyss but its also to do with darkness in general and the covenant doesnt seem to be as "evil" since you light a fire in each chasm.

    Now all 3 games give you the option of ending the age of fire and bringing about the age of dark. Is this age of dark the same as the abyss? It doesnt sound like it is because theres certain factions that encourage it whereas everyone seems to hate the abyss.

    So are any people more familiar with the lore able to clear this up for me?

    The lies of fromsoft and lore experts

    Posted: 06 Jun 2020 11:46 PM PDT

    I've been a huge fan of dark souls since I got into the game 3 years ago.

    Started off with bloodborne on its release and loved it, eventually my friend convinced me to pick up dark souls and give it a try.

    Over 500 hours later and loving every second.

    But something always didnt feel right, something felt like a lie.

    The soulsborne lore experts (who secretly work for fromsoft), have claimed for years through "science" that Lordran is a globe, tricking the masses and profiting off our ignorance.

    So I took it upon myself to use the tool given to us by god himself; our eyes.

    they may be able to deceive us with their mathematics and texts, but I have finally found the spot in the game where you can see a distance of 30 km along the horizon. And there is no curve.

    I did some math and found out if you beat every boss (dlc included) you net 771,000 souls letting a "bosses only" (semi pacifist) run get you to lvl 72 if you play perfectly not including Gwyn.
