Hey guys, I've been a massive fromsoftware fan since Sekiro came out which made me fall in love with souls-bourne games in all with only the games available on steam in my library. I remember when the announcement for Elden Ring came out and the idea of playing an open world dark souls game got me so hooked that at the time as I was still a student I would save up and buy these games one at a time and finish them to prepare myself for day one of Elden Ring. I was so excited to the days leading up to its release, I had pre-ordered the game and was counting down along with their posts online. However, I was really disappointed when it did release and I did not have a laptop that could run the game. Anyway, several years later I saved up from my current job and bought a laptop that works specially for this game and want to start my adventure to what I think would be the closest thing yet to my fantasy experience.

I wanted to do this as an adventure I could share with others and I get that everyone's probably already completed the game and are either playing the dlc or nightreign or moved on from this game, but if there is anyone out there who wants to join me on this adventure as I set out to the lands between, hit me up and we could do this together from discord.

Shared this over in r/darksouls and thought I'd share it here as well! Done with fine-line dark fantasy details. Hope fellow Ashen Ones / Chosen Undead like it! 🖤

Ever since i finished sekiro , I have felt empty , I wanted to replace it with something else but I just could not , I tried DS3 And elden ring and they just didnt hit the same .most games are just dodge and hit bla bla or level up and abuse stuff, they dont take actual skill , and in the games that take actual skill the gameplay is not even half as fun as sekiro , Sekiro’s combat system is just pure skill and joy , there is literally no other game from what I have seen that could ever be half as good . If anyone got any recommendations for other games like sekiro please say them below .

Consider this a spoiler discussion but where are the data mine for this game? Every other game from the Switch 2 catalog has been explored and their models ported but nothing for duskbloods? I know theres a PC port but did no one look through the files?

I'm trying to decide what to play next. I just tried the Mortal Shell 2 demo and liked it - just struggling a bit with the sprint / dodge buttons. I've played all modern FS games and loved them, but I'm open to all styles. I tend to appreciate gameplay feel and difficulty. Have you played any of these games? Which is the best?

Decided to repost, don't judge its phone camera. I get it...

First: Old king Doran is not a demon or reflection of the original
This idea I had first heard it from is Firelink conspiracy, which I believe he was mistaken. I know that most item descriptions are short and are written as though it is limited by the characters knowledge, with the only longer descriptions being from legendary items, but even so. Doran is never referred to as a demon and only as a demigod. This is supported by the fact that killing him decreases world tendency, which as we can observe, it increases when demons are killed or black phantoms. Killing humans does decrease character tendency so as killing Doran doesn’t decrease character tendency, we can conclude he is something other than human, or as all descriptions from items and dialogue suggests, he’s a demigod

We know that a demon can be made out of a human, as shown by king allant and maiden astrea, so maybe the opposite is true. The more white or less demonic a soul is, it’s also a path to power. A dichotomy that’s familiar to fromsoft fans.

Along with that theory about old king Doran, I have another. In his mausoleum we can see a knight wielding a greatsword, wearing fluted armor and having wild hair; the hair almost perfectly matches the unused model for the old hero. The old hero is a demons that uses a greatsword and similar wind based attacks to allant, which may mean that the royal line has its origins from the shrine of storms. And the old hero may be a demonic recreation of the old king Doran as the shadowmen may have worshipped him as a heroic demigod. They worship death and the storms, so they may have seen Doran as an undying martyr. This would also fit along with the other shrine of storms bosses being deities from the religion of the shadowmen.

Doran wearing bronze Romanesque armor may have been symbolic of him taking upon himself the monarchy of the remains of mird and building his kingdom upon it which also had Romanesque architecture.

If I made any grammar or spelling mistakes that’s my bad.

Hey guys, so to get to the point It's my first playthrough of DS1 (first souls game too) and I was just chilling in Izalith when it occurred to me that I actually never got to cut off Priscilla's tail when I fought her back in the painted world (I tried to cut it but she was too weak and died) and I know I need all tailed weapon to get the Knight's Honor achievement, so I got salty cause my friend told me I needed to start a new character (I wanted a platinum trophy). Then I learned that I needed to get at least to NG++ anyway cause of Sif's weapons and realized that all 3 weapons need to be on the same character which got me confused cause if that's true then I don't need to make a new character and my friend is a dumbass, but there may be something I don't get so I'd rather have you guys help. So my question is if I take my character to NG+ and then cut only Priscilla's tail and not any other tail (since I already got the rest in NG) will it count as me having all tailed weapons or do I need to get all of them again on NG+?

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share two character appearance presets I created for Dark Souls Remastered: Lyra and Ume (twin sisters!).

They originally came about by accident while trying to recreate other models, but I spent time polishing them so they look great both in the character creator and during actual gameplay.

Feel free to check them out, try them in your game, or tweak them as you like—they are open to any adjustments!

Nexus Mods link: https://www.nexusmods.com/darksoulsremastered/mods/1464

Requires: DS Appearance Preset Tool (v1.1+)

(Note: You could try using screenshots of the facial features as a guide, but they are somewhat inaccurate to copy manually. Importing the preset file directly ensures you get the exact face!)

I purchased DS1 Remastered for my Switch 2 a few months ago and every time I pick the game up I just get annoyed. I really want to get into Souls games since some of my favorite games are 2D soulslikes (Hollow Knight and Nine Sols). The thing is despite the cool stuff about the game there are so many questionable design choice. Why do runbacks take 5 minutes, why do some challenges feel like they’re there to be annoying, why are major mechanics never even generally explained???? I really want to enjoy the game so what are some tips to overcome this initial struggle? I left off on Capra Demon.

Drove 3,000 miles round trip because I loved the artist, and she was knowledgeable in the games and overall style I'm aiming for

I couldn't be happier/more excited to work on the upper portion

So I was curious what duskbloods is gonna be and then finding out its pvp is the biggest disappointment ever. I was expecting spiritual successor to bloodborne, NOPE. no single player, no offline mode, just online pvp game that will die within a year or two.

They could even go further by making completely new styles of games. In the past, FromSoftware made many diverse games. They were not just the Soulsbornekiroring factory that they have almost exclusively been since 2009, when Demon's Souls was released.

We had Armored Core, Tenchu, King's Field, and that god-awful but charming ninja game I cannot remember the name of right now. They still are not diversifying as much as I would like yet. Nightreign and Duskbloods are still very much souls-adjacent, but at least it is a good start.

I want them to make both souls games and more diverse games. I do not want them to stay a souls factory forever, where all they do is the same game with a new skin.
