 Dark souls, possibly my favorite RPG of all time. A game that doesn't hold your hand or make things easy for you, playing through it is a challenge. It doesn't tell you how to play or make you deal with a watered down game for the sake of casual players like every other RPG on the market. No, Dark Souls requires you to learn its combat and mechanics, which are absolutely great. It asks you to fight enemies which you have never faced before, but whether you adapt or not is all on you. It is a game known for lacking any mercy, while still being completely fair. It has probably one of the best stories of any modern series and you'll only get told a small bit of it from playing. Every other part of the lore, every character's history you have to figure out and find. This is a game that is mature and dark, hidden and mysterious, definitely not something for children like many others. If you haven't played it I highly suggest you give it a try. Just remember, you will die, and you will die a lot.
So, if anyone has played this Masterpiece, what was your favorite boss?

If by "favorite" you mean "the one I feel guiltiest for killing" it's a tie between the Twilight Butterfly and Sif... (I am so sorry puppy...)
Do you wish Priscilla was pactable as much as I do?

Actually that was their plan with her before release, but they scrapped that idea sadly as they felt it just didn't fit with the Atmosphere. I still wish they had gone with Andre as the God of War, and the Wandering Black Knights.
Those are indeed sad fights, for me it would have to be Gwyn. As a huge lore nerd on that game his struggle, ideals, and fall just always make me feel quite hopeless and depressed. It's a very powerful fight.

The whole game is you sifting through the ashes of Olympus. Plundering a monument to the death of the gods. It's a powerful game lore wise. Easily one of the best RPGs to date.

Definitely agreed with on that one, do you ever miss your first playthrough? I know I definitely miss that experience of wandering in the dark hoping around that next corner was a bonfire.

Lord Maxdom Definitely agreed with on that one, do you ever miss your first playthrough?

I stopped playing a while ago because my girlfriend was feeling neglected. sweatdrop

I'm taking a break myself, but it's more so I got a bit burned out on the game, almost 1000 hours as well as 900 of that being just PvP, but one day I will return to my love, Dark Souls haha.
Though I would definitely have quit for a girl haha, so good on you.

Lord Maxdom Good old Jolly Co-Op, I always enjoy helping some people out when I'm not wraithing or forest hunting keheheheh. Decided to pick it up again. What's the deal with that spiral staircase in New Londo. I walk through the white fog, and there's nothing there.

I have returned to Lordran. I beat it a while ago. I'm picking it back up. I have decided to go with a sorcerer to start. Gonna turn him into a nasty fighter. I'm ignoring dex and str for the most part. Gonna give him Velka's Rapier as a weapon. Need to work on my vitality...
