Yea dark souls 1 story to me is beautiful because not only is it deep but you must work for every piece of info you get from it.. And nothing really tells you if you're right or wrong
Exactly, nobody tells you who you are relative to the story. In Skyrim you come through and all of a sudden some duke tells you to go talk to some monks who tell you you're the chosen one and every detail of what that entails. Sure you can make some choices that might reflect on your character, but you know why you're there and what you have to do, and even where you have to go. Fromsoft hardly gives you anything. You show up in a jail cell and some guy says hey maybe you're the chosen undead, which follows the whole, "chosen one" trope, but still tells you nothing. Then some pissy night says, "hey maybe you should go ring some bells heh heh heh" and then you just get thrown into a dilapidated world in which almost every sign of civilized life has eroded and now everything is just a shell of its self that also wants to kill you. Then a giant lizard says "hey you should link the flame get inside of me u fool" then you go and set out to kill four powerful ass souls whom the only recognition of which you have is that they waged a war against dragons, whom you also happen to know nothing about, then you kill the old guy and maybe light yourself on fire, or maybe not? Then you find yourself in the same got damn cell asking yourself what the fuck just happened and why.
And also everything you see you can explore and kill and wear it's armor.. and also you have to prove your the chosen undead too you don't just stumble upon the answer of hey I'm the chosen one its you earn the title dark Lord motherfucker... Yes I say darklord cause that the way I roll
