I always thought the messages left by other players in Dark Souls was such a cool mechanic.

They could be helpful, letting the player know to be wary of danger, or they could be completely disingenuous and trick the player into jumping off a cliff and dying.

I always labored over whether or not to take a leap of faith based on other players' messages cause it was a toss-up whether they were being helpful or trolling, lol.
