Is the world portrayed in Dark Souls games similar to medieval Europe?

Really, did they make most of these clothings, settings, and conventions up or did they take influence from real things in history?

it's as much as game of thrones

No.

Dark Souls architecture is based on high fantasy with medieval european style of building architecture and armor/weapons.

>>1703739

It's a mish-mash of late romanesque and gothic influences.

That being said, it's still miles ahead of the awful Warcraft and dungeonpunk style plaguing fantasy aesthetics today.

No. DaS is basically the generic "low fantasy renaissance Europe as seen by Japan" that's been the gold standard since the 80s.

>>1703739
some of the shit in dark souls is out of the fucking renaissance. so no, it's not accurate.. it's probably hard for people from a different culture/history to nail these things though

I can't think of any games that are accurate though, outside of like, warring states period games

Some of the Total War games are alright. But there's also a lot of Total War and Mount & Blade mods that are devoted to historical accuracy.

Yeah i'm sure a king could just build an army by selecting exactly the type of soldiers he wants. Fuck the feudal system

They could to an extent. Mercenaries were widespread, and kings could tell their fighting population what equipment to bring with them (and whether they were to be used as cavalry or infantry, for example. By the 14th-15th century there was enough of a professional corps in much of Europe that there was a lot of choice in army composition

That picture brings back memories. I remember being so happy and overcome with joy as soon as I reached Anor Londo. It felt like an actual accomplishment and it so nice to see it after being stuck in Sens fortress. Then the platforming began... oh god the platforming.

See pic related. Anor Londo was inspired by the Milan Cathedral.
