His other sister is called Filianore, so there's no guarantee that his name starts with Gwyn. He's probably Sen, as in Sen's Fortress.

We're going to learn more about Ludleth in the DLC. Courland is in the DLC.

This is pure headcanon, of course, but I like to think his name was "Gwyndolin". Hear me out. Say Gwyn named his firstborn that, and after he struck him from history, the Gwyndolin we know was born, and Gwyn basically decided to try again, but to get it right this time. There was never a "first" or "second" Gwyndolin, there was only ever the one, dammit!

I suppose that hinges on if GwynX betrayed his dad before or after Gwyndolin was born. Given how he pretty much treats Gwyndolin like shit anyway, it wouldn't surprise me if he got a hand-me-down name.

>>171050353
But he was trying to spin when high ground beat him in that movie.

Honestly I'm fully expecting ringed city to be a progenial city, a very important historical place as opposed to something like courland or londor.

I'm thinking it would be a place so important that it's namesake would be carried forward when they migrated.

Londo

Gwyn named his new kingdom "sun londo" after his achievement

The human immigrants named their city "new londo"

New londo may have even come before anor londo, before gwyn kicked humans back down into the ringed city

>>171050697
a reverse front flip hardly qualifies as true spinning

>>171050780

That can also set londor up to be an actual person, aka the furtive pygmy

So do you guys think Yorshka is the Firstborn's daughter and that he was a dirty dragonfucker? It'd make sense. Consider the following:
>Firstborn changes sides and gets exiled
>Gwyn leaves to link the fire
>the events of DS1 happen
>sometime later, Yorshka is born
>Firstborn knows she wouldn't be able to grow up in ADP
>goes back to Anor Londo and gives Yorshka to Gwyndolin
>he raises her believing she's his sister and not his niece
It'd make sense since she looks half-dragon, and we know Gwyn hated dragons. You could also extrapolate that Priscilla might also be the Firstborn's, and not Seath and Gwynevere's like was originally theorized. Thoughts?

Problem is that priscilla has the dark in her. Unless the gods are dark, you need to explain how that works out

anyone notice how the god race has the exact same skin and hair as the aggressively dark painter girl?

>>171051635
Does she, though? Sure, the gods put a lot of dark stuff in the painting because dark is the god killing element. But they hated Priscilla because she's a dragon crossbreed, and the gods hate dragons.

>>171051808

Lifehunt is dark, She also has mastery over frost. Shes more divine than she is abyssal for sure, but she a dark being boi

>>171051929
>Lifehunt is dark
But it's not.

>>171051929
It doesn't say that, it just says the gods fear it. It's not like it does dark damage either.

>>171051635
Maybe she was corrupted somehow? Velka is linked to the Dark, and she has a huge presence in the PW.

Dark damage didn't even exist as a mechanic in DS1.

Different things? Their name isn't even the same. Lifedrain steals humanity, so it's harmless to Gods and other things with no darksoul bits.

>>171052880
I have no idea what you're referring to then. "Skill" and your reference to the Profaned Flame makes me think Dark Souls 3, and the only Lifehunt in Dark Souls 3 is that miracle. The DaS Lifehunt Scythe can't be buffed, and obviously the miracle can't be buffed, so I don't entirely know where you're going with any of this.

>>171052880
Not when Aldrich is a dark deity who wields dark magic. It's only natural that a miracle made using his illusory magic would be dark

Im talking abut the cross-game lore anon

I'm saying that bleed can only be infused using an abyssal flame, which also infuses dark and hollow.

Lifehunt is an inherent part of priscilla's being, its not just tied to her weapon.

Some headcannon here: the gods were deathly afraid of lifehunt, which is an ability that obliterates mortals even when they wield it. The soul is described as the source of all life, so in a sense you could call it Soulhunt. Really makes you think

>>171053580
There are lots of bleed weapons that have it as an innate effect and have nothing to do with the Profaned Flame.

>>171053151
:^)

>>171053752

Torches also aren't connected to the first flame, whats your point?

>>171053857
Torches aren't connected to the first flame, therefore Priscilla's Lifehunt Scythe IS connected to the Profaned Flame.

Makes sense.

don't want to get your hopes up, it's still quality dominated garbage

the main difference is that greatswords are what dominate
greatswords got a speed buff that brought them back to pre-nerf DaS1 / DaS2 level speed

hammers also got a massive range boost on r1s and have hyper armor while 2h, very good

pyros mostly use their super long DLC greatsword and pyromancer's parting flame black flame / fire surge
parting flame gives you a small AoE combustion on every close range cast, making black flame OP in damage and poise break

poise has been greatly changed for the better (still only during attacks) and is too complicated to explain in one post
it matters now

I can see this for DaS3 but now you can access the entire painted world from early on, and you can kill Dancer to get to Lothric Castle and Consumed Garden pretty early if you've got the balls.

I guess you could sort of infer it by her tail weapon having an Occult rating? Maybe?

>>171052362
To be honest, I'd have to disagree, and just assume that whatever it is, she doesn't actually use it on you. Priscilla deals less bleed damage to you than the flamberge wielding snake men, for some reason. It's weird and arbitrary.

>>171052792
That, and you don't need Humanity anyways. Humanity always restored HP, but there's no sense in keeping track of it. It's essentially equivalent to the Ashen One sucking out someone's Humanity and consuming it on the spot.

>>171052880
It's a Miracle. It's someone's interpretation of a vision they deemed "divine". It's Aldrich's hallucinatory representation of what he saw, and we all know he loves absorbing HP and FP by his rings. It's already canon that Miracles have different effects when the story is fragmented or interpreted differently or altered.

No, that's a misconception. The original Japanese text calls it "Sen's Old Castle", so there was someone called Sen in the lore. Sen does mean thousand in Japanese, but it's written in katakana which means it's a name.

I'm not at the last boss yet, but holy fuck I always heard that 2's DLCs were supposed to be really good. This doesn't seem like it's anywhere near as good or interesting as Shulva (which falls into some of what I described too, but at least had some interesting ideas). I'm assuming there's more that I haven't gotten to yet, but this seems disappointing.

>>171063643
Shulva isn't even that interesting once you realize it's just the Ancient City from KFIV.

>>171063643
DS2 DLC's mostly go down in overall quality in line with their release order.

Though personally I love the backtracking aspect of that DLC because it's massively rewarding if you're staying alive and managing resources to avoid having to rest at any bonfires until you're done backtracking through already cleared areas really quickly.

Okay, so, this one only shows a few things more than the PAX footage, mainly what the Stone-humped Hag sells, the stats on the Splitleaf Greatsword/Halberd, and that you can get the Murky Hand Scythe after the long fall. At least it was less frustrating to watch since the guy playing it seemed to know what he was doing.

What I find more annoying is that Rusted Gold Coins are still only obtainable in limited quantities per playthrough. Who thought that should be a thing?

>>171071028
>Who thought that should be a thing?

Probably the same guy that thought making titanite slabs limited to a small number of pickups/rewards per playthrough and not farmable anywhere was a good idea.

>>171071431
The difference is that one is a consumable that only affects luck, which may or may not work out anyways (and there are at least three other stackable items that also provide luck that are not consumables). It's pointless to make them limited quantity since you can obtain almost the same result with regular Rusted Coins. Slabs are semi-understandable in that they permanently affect matchmaking when used.

>>171071707
But you can currently obtain 8 (11 with the DLC) slabs per playthrough. Matchmaking is permanently changed after you +10 a single weapon. After that point, what difference does it really make to anyone else if you have 10 titanite slabs or 100?

It just seems like a strange choice because they already give more than enough to cover everything most people would want to use and a end game opportunity to farm them would be a harmless quality of life change that wouldn't upset anything.

>Weapon is called a greatsword
>Is actually an ultra
>BUT with the damage of a greatsword
>Splitleaf Greatsword
>is actually a Halberd

Why is this allowed

>>171072135
This is one of the good things about DaS2, at least they tried to somewhat standardize the naming conventions. Ultras are called Ultras, and Greatswords are called Greatswords (which meant changing the names of the BKGS and BKS). Worst case, a generic "Sword" could be applied to either GSes or UGSes (e.g. Lost Sinner's Sword is a UGS, Drangleic Sword is a GS), but that's the worst of it.

How much do you want to bet that had Tanimura not decided that FUGS would be called Fume Ultra (necessitating that it use the same name in DaS3), that Miyazaki would just call it the Fume Greatsword or just plain Fume Sword?

I have discovered something of great import in the Dark Souls universe, because of this video:

They somehow have the technology to make tinned steel, as well as cans, in a medieval setting. The latter wasn't invented until around 1810, centuries later.

I wonder what a huge medieval fantasy version of a 19th century factory would play like as a level. Probably a bit like Iron Keep.

>>171072704
Black Blade if you want to be cool without completely gimping yourself, Bloodlust if you hate yourself.

>>171072704

Black Blade if you're going Quality, Bloodlust if pure Dex. They both have the same effective range. Black Blade is better generally however since it has the highest Katana AR at 40/40 Refined even if it is only slightly above Pole while Bloodlust only reaches damage higher than a 60 Dex Chaos Blade with the self-buff on, and the buff doesn't last long and takes forever to cast while taking self-damage. Black Blade also has the Stance WA which is terrific.

>>171072704
Black Blade is THE hipster katana. It's like wanting to be a hipster and then wearing band tees and hipster glasses. Definitely Bloodlust between those two.

That puts it on the same tier as Gundyr's and Winged Knight, only it has less base damage than both. I guess the scaling is supposed to make up for it, but Gundyr's was also C/E and had a higher Str requirement.

>>171074664
That's literally the only thing we saw the stats for. The rest of the video was more or less the same as the PAX East stream, only it didn't show Aquamarine and it also gave the locations for one or two extra pieces of loot (including the Murky Hand Scythe).

Thinking of picking up ds2 again by restarting a hexer, because I'm a dirty boy. From what I've read, the best hexing stick if I want to just x-buff x-infused weapon through the game is the tree branch, and the best for offensive hexes is the one you get from that hexer guy. Is 30/30 enough for both cases? The furthest I've ever gotten through the game is just past Covetous Demon.

Weapon buffing is based on your elemental attack bonus, so it's the same no matter what catalyst you use. Of greater import is how much innate damage of that element the weapon has prior to buffing, since that gets a bonus from the buff as well. So, if you want the most elemental damage out of a weapon, you get one that innately deals the damage you want, infuse it to the same element (which gets a bonus because of the existing innate damage), and then buff with that same element (which gives it a further bonus also because of existing innate damage).

30/30 Fai/Int is stock standard Hexer, and is the soft-cap for Dark attack bonus in any case. It's also the soft-cap for Pyromancy, which requires 60 total of both. You'll have decent access to Miracles and Sorceries, but those two get a big jump going from 30 to 40, so you won't be nearly as strong as someone who dedicates 40-50 points to either Faith or Int.

The locked door in the pit is opened by a key you get in Black Gulch, if I remember right. It opens up three doors total: the one in the pit in Majula, the poison statue room with Havel's set in the Gutter, and the special door in Black Gulch.

>>171076076
Generally I'd just put it at whatever you feel comfortable with. Personally I think I went with either 26 or 32 Attunement, you get slots at 25 and 30 but also extra casts at 26 and 32, so that extra one or two points is a good investment. After that, invest in Adaptability until you have either 96 or 100 Agility (99 is where you get an extra roll i-frame, but 100 gives an extra backstep frame, so like above the little bit of extra investment is worth it).

You can make up any gaps in your number of casting slots and your casting speed by using Ascetics to get Clear Bluestone +2 and Southern Ritual +2.

>>171074428
>made them do it

This is always a weird interpretation to me, in that it defaults to casting Gwyn as this crazy douchebag who bullies his son into being a faggot, when all other evidence shows him as pretty magnanimous, and clearly Gwyndolin adores him as a father because of how he aforementioned is the only one guarding his tomb and upholding the laws of Anor Londo centuries after.

It's entirely possible, and I'd say even probable, that Gwyndolin put on the gril ring, hopped in the metaphorical Things Betwixt sarcophagus, and decided to be a lady because it'd help his moon powers out. It's not like anyone in this universe gives a shit what you wear or what gender you are.

>>171076443
Oh I knew that, I was referring to if you needed Gilligan to be at Majula (which required you to kill Mytha?) to actually allow access to that door

>>171074428
>It's said he was raised as a daughter meaning Gwyn made them do it unless someone else was responsible for his rearing.

Gwyn was most likely dead before gwyndolin was born.

single mothers fuck their sons up like that and obviously raised him to idolize him regardless of absence.

>>171076757

it'll run
but it won't run smoothly

and it probably wouldn't regardless of your PC on account of such amazing optimization as pic related

Tough life im leading right now

small question
how many of you guys did a no death/no bonfire run in DS2?

>>171083090
i once had a nightmare like this

needless to say my basketball shorts were moist that morning

>>171082575
That better be an actual DLC scythe moveset.

Fuck me the wait is killing me but if it's all spoiled then it won't be any fun.

Anyone else thinks this is the most interesting character in the series? In dreams he offers a vision of the torture of linking the fire and is overall proof that willpower > strength when linking it

>I maybe but small, but I will die a colossus.

If I dont have the DLC, can I still play with people who do? Or are DLC players in their own separate pool?

>>171083424
Not sure I'd say "in the series", but he's definitely up there as a very strong one, despite what little screen time he has.

>>171083424
just get finished watching your own video vaati???

>>171083473
You can. You can even have somebody with the DLC drop DLC weapons for you.

Does DS4 PS4's controller plugin still get you banned? I dont plan to use any other shit mods or plugins but this one is essential

Steam has PS controller support now. Needs to be enabled in BigPicture though

>>171084070
No, I've been using it just fine.

>>171084182
Ok thats good to hear

Ah right that exists, how shit is it compared to DS4 or is it not that bad?

No idea bro I just remeberd some anon asking the same question. I use the steam controller and the mapping system works fine.
I presume its the same for the PS4 support

>>171066623
I dislike the shit checkpointing in the main game. The levels are generally well designed but unlike Bloodborne there's no tension because they feel like they should give you a bonfire every 5 feet.

I've been thinking of getting Dark Souls 1 recently. I'm wondering:

Is the Demons Great Hammer worth getting from the Asylum Demon? I was thinking of getting Firebombs for it.

Is Deprived bad for beginners?

In which ways can you customize your character? I kind of wanted a red skinned Daemon guy.

How hard is the game actually? I've played New Vegas and Skyrim as RPGS and found them pretty easy. I've played Doom 4, some Morrowind, TF2, and Dota 2 as well and don't find any of them particularly hard.

Is magic strong or weak in Dark Souls 1?

What's the difference between Dark and Demon Souls?

>>171084601
yes

Yo, I'm not too savvy on the mechanics of DS3, so gimme a bitta redpillin' here;
I've noticed lots of builds utilizing DEX level it to 60, not 40; why is that? Doesn't it have super diminishing returns past 40?

>>171084601
one is from a demon and the other is dark

>>171084756
If they dont have other places to put poins into then keep leveling dex.

Diminishing returns is not a stopping point necessarily. You still get more damage.

>watch gamespot footage
>regular one-and-done players still falling for delayed attacks
It's been 4 games and fuck knows how many DLC's.

>>171083424
>In dreams he offers a vision of the torture of linking the fire and is overall proof that willpower > strength when linking it
wat

>>171084601
>Is the Demons Great Hammer worth getting from the Asylum Demon?
No
It's too heavy, only very slightly stronger than other great hammers at twice the weight and STR req
You can get the best great hammers early in the game
>Is Deprived bad for beginners?
Not at all, it'll teach you not to get hit
>In which ways can you customize your character?
Minor body size presets, skin color, hair, etc. Red is easy.
>How hard is the game actually?
Not hard. Moderately challenging. Fair but not forgiving. The reputation it gets is just from people bad at video games.
People have beat it with their feet and a fighting game pad, guitar hero controller, DDR pad, their fucking voice, etc
>Is magic strong or weak in Dark Souls 1?
It's very strong. It scales with how dumb you look.
>What's the difference between Dark and Demon Souls?
Dark Souls has less grinding, has weapon movesets, poise instead of hyper armor, less annoying mechanics in general, harsher equip load.

Is g2a still the cheapest place to buy dlc and the game n shit?

>>171084601
>red skinned demon guy
You can glitch the character creator by tapping the "create similar face" in the character creator a million times and it will give you weird colors and distorted features.

I'm gonna be playing DS1 for the first time today, and I just wanted to know if there are any things like Priscilla's tail weapon that would be a giant pain in the ass to miss

also is the game really that good compared to 2/3? i'm pretty excited

>>171064494
For my gladiator charcter I often mix and changes things up
>black knigh legging/slave knight legging
>firekeeper wrap/master glove/iron bracelet
>faraam helm, eastern helm,favor helm,havel helm
>grave warden top, master top
I think I'm going to use the desert sorceress top when the dlc come out

>>171085310
You can cut the tail of a few bosses, yes. If you want all the achievement you're gonna have to go to NG+2 anyway so don't worry too much about missing shit on your first playthrough

most of the content past the halfway point is shit desu
DLC is amazing though

>>171085310
bosses are not as good as ds3 and the gameplay is not as fluid as ds2, but it has the best atmosphere, music and level design (except demon ruins), weapons have more unique movesets and poise is actually useful, also if you can't fastroll, use rolls conservatively and use shields for what they're worth.

gimme a souls character/armor to draw, can't think of anything atm but still want to practice

So landing on piles of ashes, in Dreg Heap, will negate fall damage, regardless of how long the fall may be. This Thrall landed on regular ground and got fucked.

would somebody please help me with that fucking crystal sage?
PC ng sl 36. i'm at the fog gate.

Are you playing Dark Souls on easy mode if you fully kindle all bonfires to have 20 estus or is it just the natural thing to do like upgrading your weapons?

>>171086212
it's the natural way of life.

>>171066623

DS2 fanboys complaining about anything that isn't perfect for muh competitive pvp one shots

>>171068612

I'd say it's best balanced in 3. Sure, quality will eek out damage by a small bit on a lot of weapons, but just about any reasonable weapon can be used to great effect.

1 is most fun though.

I need your help /dsg/
Post some of your favorite DS1 knightly fashion, i cant for the life of me find a statisfying combination and i dont want to default to the EK set again

>>171069151
Most of the zones sucked. If 90% of everywhere sucks then it's bad
