I think theres something really funny about the like inherited baggage of the souls games. Like, not the overarching themes or the series or the things that they re-use deliberately like crystal lizards and basilisks, but the way a lot of design elements keep coming back even when they don’t necessarily have a reason to.

I think the funniest example is souls themselves - like, both as a lore element and as the mechanical xp/currency of the games. In Demon’s Souls, souls are the entire premise of the game. Everything revolves around gathering “souls” described as what allows humans to think, perceive, and comprehend the world, and the “Soul Arts”, which use this nature to manipulate the world through the way that the soul produces it. Demons are beings with the capacity to consume souls for power, and for this reason typically possess power far beyond those of a normal human, the kind of power from which Soul Arts emerge. Spirits are disembodied souls, their will allowing them to persist after death. The deep fog is a product of demonic phenomena, a realm in which reality is weakened and has become blurred, Boletaria has become so far gone in its obsession with souls that it now uses the very source of consciousness and existence of the world as currency, while the Maiden in Black can use her demonic powers over souls to grant us strength.

Come Dark Souls, and though mechanically souls are still around, lorewise its in diminished capacity. Much of what they are has to be inferred by other events and their relation to the titular Dark Soul. It can be assumed that souls emerged from the First Flame, though only the souls of chaos demons appear to be on fire so distinctly. They seem to be light counterparts to the dark soul, but they are very mechanically different and co-exist in an unexplained way in humans, and though this mystery seems to be intentional its hampered a bit by how unexplained souls are already. Things associated with souls in DeS became separated in DS1, and now the fog gates and phantoms are the manifestations of vague temporal phenomena caused by the fading of the flame. These things are core to the games’ identity, but had already become somewhat vestigial by the beginning of the dark souls franchise.

Bloodborne is where it first becomes more prominent, as though blood echoes possess lore unique to their setting and a narrative role justifying their similar function, the degree to which they are becomes strange without the context of prior games, like pickups still taking the form of glowing white orbs. This can sound nitpicky, but these elements would literally not exist without the lore of Demon’s Souls.

Olivia and Elite Knight, Oscar in Anor Londo probably visiting a Certain Moon Deity and I can only wonder why...

Wisty plays Cinders part 5

Only area left to do now is Ariandel. Seems like I could rush Freide without having to go through the whole area but I’m gonna wanna check for added content anyways

Despite the MLGS looking so cool, its actually weaker than the Aquamarine Dagger in my experience in so far

Found more weapons with unique movesets, Alonne’s Sword uses Freide’s scythe swings in 2h, does the Black Blade R2 into a fast UGS swing (if you buff with the WA the Shimatsuken does a Black Serpent pyromancy)

Chikage is actually nothing like Chikage and is a paired weapon of Chikage and the transformed version which uses the cut WA from Onikiri and Ubadachi. Beast Cutter actually has its moves, of all things, pretty sad they couldn’t do the same for other bloodborne attack animations.

Iron Pinapple reference (wearing the Channeler set like his channel icon)

The actual video was done by InfernoPlus (who I hate but the video is funny)

Thorned Greatsword is a greatsword with a UGS moveset, complete with lightning spear sword beam

Trial of Perseverance is too hard, enemies hit way too hard for how aggressive they are, you pretty much have to use an ultra weapon to avoid getting overrun and are constantly backpedalling. Enemies constantly respawn a la Old Dragons from Sekiro, but I was hoping it’d have been more like SW Jedi Fallen Order where there was a fix amount of enemies so you could slowly push the offensive. Interesting mode though

Of the 10 waves, I’ve never made it past Wave 2

They seem to have a suggestion box so I’m gonna do a write up and send it somewhere that they’ll hopefully read when I finish my first playthrough. They locked a lot of rings

Literally everything about this game is more DS2, right down to things like including Red Crystal Lizards

For including BB items, the Hunter Set isn’t in the game, really baffling.

Spells have an increased effect once you totally max their upgrades (which involves rechallenging bosses with special global debuffs of your choosing)

Loyce Set is in the game, but no Loyce Sword, very upsetting.

Rings are like DS1/DeS levels of powerful, and some with up to +3 variants (Chloranthy +3 is +50 sta/s, normal speed is 45/s, +3 in vanilla is like +12 lol, for example, but you need it with how much more stamina you use in this mod)

Halflight’s goons are total cunts that can poise with just painting guardian set somehow and have like 10k hp, you wouldn’t even normally play this in multiplayer I don’t get why you’d make this this way.

NG+ exclusive enemies are a thing, as well as a separate mode that adds extra minibosses to certain areas.

Some areas are stupidly densely packed with enemies lacking in forethought of enemy placement you’d get in the vanilla game. Archives bridge is like Boletaria bridge on crack. I find it really insulting that some areas are setup that taking damage is inevitably no matter how well you try to play, and I feel the same way about passive poise vs invaders with fast weapons and spellcasters.

All in all, still would highly recommend for being able to replay bosses whenever, but hope that they sharpen some of the edges on the product

Send 🎱 to meet an alternative version of my muse.

((So, aside from the general Nox, who is pretty much the local undead loitering around and annoying people, let’s call this one wanderer, there are some alternative versions. Or in some cases possibilities? Anyway, sum up! I am not saying that I am planning to use any of these for RP in this blog, but… Who knows what can happen. Also I just really like thinking about possibilities.

Hollow Lord. Nox, who teamed up with Yuria and usurped the First Fire, with one rather chill friend fighting the gods, lords, monsters, hollows and all the impossible odds alongside her.In this case she is pretty much tired with everything, even done to the point where the whole idea of usurping the Fire seemed worth of trying. Still sort of dork and has literally no idea how to be a Lord, just between us. Pray for Yuria. Mostly a reason and setting to make dumb jokes. Occasionally more serious stuff happens.

Mad Scholar. Devotion to dragon studying is a tricky matter, that seems to result in rather unpleasant thing quite often. In this case too. Most likely this one starts after the DS1 with Nox staying at the Duke’s Archives for researches. So, at some point, she goes Oceiros style mad and starts working on transforming herself into a dragon, because of course she will find idea good enough. She is a Dragonseeker after all and finding a dragon inside is also covered, I guess. She eventually succeeds with it and well, becomes malformed dragon-like creature, blind and mad, lurking in the depths of crystal caves, beneath the archives. Most likely adopts crystal lizards. Because something is just her thing, doesn’t matter in what timeline.

Drake.Sort of related to the previous one, since Nox is again becomes something dragonlike, but in this case by the more… natural way - through the use of dragon stones she eventually got stuck in a form of a drake. Not that she was complaining.Pretty much the general version of Nox, just you know, drake.Also most likely has nothing to do with all that undead prophecies at all.

I am not listing NoShitHappened!AU version of her here, since it is more of an alternative Lordran, not the alternative Nox.

And well, maybe I forgot something, but can’t think about more by now))
