Dark Souls - Part 2

Vereor Nox

I haven't made substantial progress since the last update, but I have killed the Capra Demon (fuck that guy!) and I remembered to take screenshots of some places by backtracking, so let's get to it!

Dark Souls is an oddly pretty game

So, I've finally killed the boss that has always had problems with, and now I feel so happy with myself, I'm tempted to just stop here! But I can't Lordran needs my help, because I'm apparently the only one who gives a shit about being Undead in this world, and wants to solve that problem, but I guess that's why the first NPC you meet is titled as "Crestfallen Soldier".

Although they are probably never going to be at the forefront of any conversation about Dark Souls, I absolutely love the narrative and characters in this game. The story is by no means deep, and the characters are fairly archetypical, they all fit together in this bleak and desolate world really well. And call me crazy, but I love narratives where the player can get as much information as they want, depending on how deep they delve into the fiction. 

Who the fuck is "Sir Onion"?

If the player wants, they can simply progress through the story, ring the two bells and continue doing what they are told, and see the story out. However, as YouTubers like EpicNameBro do, they can do the research into the items, their description, gathering lore information from the smallest details, like where a character is in the world. And I think that's insanely interesting, and it's always a nice touch there those whose make an effort get rewarded for their digging.

Yup, name makes perfect sense

So, now that I'm going into uncharted territory with Dark Souls, I'm super excited again! This should be fun, I'm pretty sure I'm going to a lava-based area now, so that'll be a pain in the ass, no doubt. But I'm pumped, and I'm going to fucking finish Dark Souls this time!

PS. Ok, so this may be considered cheating by some, but Dark Souls is a draining game, like...really draining. And updates may be slow when I become stuck in an area and can't make any forward progress, so in the coming days, I may be starting updates for another game , just so I can keep writing, and know I can take a break from Dark Souls as needed, so look forward to that!
