Sam Winkler @ThatSamWinkler Follow Dark Souls revolutionized games, in the sense that instead of a story now you can just have some guy with a big SWord named Myrmidon of Loss who gasps "Zanzibart... forgive me" when he dies and then twenty YouTubers will make an hour long video about how deep your lore is
LOL
Yup.
I've never understood people getting into the lore of Souls games. It's just that cool, grimy 80's aesthetic and weirdly named characters.
I think it’s like piecing together a mystery, which can be interesting as you find clues and tidbits. Most of the lore is hidden in the item descriptions and explains the details of your environment. I didn’t really pay attention to it much at first, most things I just reacted to like “that’s fucked up”, but it was kind of neat when I started to realize how some of these enemies had a history within the world. Then I started rereading some of those descriptions, and what was a jumbled mess started making more sense. It was like having a jigsaw puzzle come together.
That said, there’s still a lot I don’t get and I still go WTF… ok time for unga bunga
I'm over here just enjoying the memes, like the frog down in the red lake. That was a good one.
Oh basilisk of rot, what is your wisdom?
