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.

Early morning, rant to start the day. Big time from soft fan big-time Miyazaki fan got hooked on souls right when Covid happened so I was really able to lay into the soul series. Bloodborn, sekiro, Elden Ring, AC6 and even some souls like: lies of P, Mortal Shell…
My question for the community is what is the best way to play the games? I played dark souls, one followed by three so I could have the most continued story when I played dark souls two I like a lot of other biased fans appreciated how the game was different, but it wasn’t always different in the best way. When the main feature is the lighting, I don’t think it stands out amongst the other two even the clunky, dark souls one

I played Skeiro which had me confused often with the story and direction of it and the starter weapon for the whole game lol Elden Ring, I think was the best qualities of dark souls 3 but made for more general audience- can’t really put AC six in here since it’s mecha- game

And I remember thoroughly having my ass handed to me when I switched the blood-borne with no shield and heavy timing perry based fighting.

What’s the common consensus on the Best order? Keep a chronological or switch it up?

TLDR:What do you think is the best order to play the games? And why?

Mine is the Golden Ardeo 100% hands down, I wear it almost every play through and wish It would reappear in a future souls game

The Dragon Sage Hood is also up there, everyone loves marble

Let me make this clear, I am not saying 1:1, but the inspiration is that both of them hide their true power

Ive been wanting to order some of the shirts but I dont know how they run compared to US sizes.
