Shoutouts to my fiancée for the topic suggestion 💜
Don’t have anything on my plate currently in terms of soulslikes. Been thinking about going back to DS3 maybe?
I don’t think there’s too many NPCs that I really like. Alexander from Elden Ring seems like a chill dude to be around. Or the prawn guy - if his cooking of prawns weren’t clashing with my vegan beliefs.
Gilbert from Bristol is also really cool. Very tragic and unfortunate fate, but he’s pretty much one of the few characters in the game that welcome you in Yharnam and help you find your bearings.
Hanbei the Undying or Emma from Sekiro also seem cool. Very different characters but I appreciate both nonetheless.
What about you?
Silksong, and Sherma from Silksong
Playing Sekiro. A couple of years ago I played until I beat Sword Saint Isshin, and then haven’t touched Sekiro since.
Started again & accidentally chose Shura ending with 7 Gourds. Since I didn’t quite manage the challenge gauntlet I started another new game, and beat almost every boss first try until Owl!
This game is so ridiculously fun. Except Guardian Ape, fuck that guy. I still haven’t managed to beat 2nd phase properly, instead I always dodge until he lunges, then get a few hits in, and so on. He’ll stay my Nemesis!
If anyone knows, is there some good overview over the most important things to do before NG+? I’d love to go through again, but now I want to make sure I do it right!
Lucatiel. I can fix her
My name is Lucatiel.
I beg of you, remember my name.
For I may not myself…
Hmm. Headless ape from Sekiro
Siegmeyer of Catarina is a bro I would love to share a pint or two with
I think Patches could help me achieve some of my goals.
Can you just look over the edge of this cliff real quick? Why? No reason…
Would love to hang with Eileen over a couple of pints or her spirit of choice, she’s just cool af and I looooove her voice. Don’t think she’d be thrilled over having company but hey, we are talking hypotheticals.
Smol (and rushed)Eileen fanart <3
And Solaire. I love that guy, want to give him a hug. Hmm. And maybe Alfred, I also love that crazy man. 𓁹‿𓁹 (coincidence? I think not!)
I’ll be playing more sekiro. It’ll take me a while to flow in the shinobi way though, first few horus were spent fighting the urge to backstep, but I’m slowly getting the hang of it.
Tap for spoiler
Lady butterfly has insulted me to the core, and I need to vindicate myself!
Edit: also Blaidd, how could I forget! 100℅ would hit the pub with ma boi.
Love your Eileen doodle 💜 How couldn’t I think of her. She’d definitely be my 1# pick from Bloodborne.
Alfred tho? Kinda sus, ngl. Now Annalise tho >:)
Ooh yea, Lady Butterfly is a toughie for sure. How are you faring with the parries against her? Snap Seeds also help with the illusions in case you didn’t know~
Alfred tho? Kinda sus, ngl.
Totally, I like him, but I also enjoy killing him, ha! Gotta go vileblood from time to time. (Also, the drip? Immaculate).
Lady B. Parrying/ dodging her is fine. ( thank you lies of p) the sweep attacks in general are what’s doing me in D: so dumb, I tend to jump away or die. I’m not using the snap seeds, 'causeI’m hardwired to not rely on consummables. Does it make much of a difference? Lil guys don’t last very long.
Also, thanks! c:
Now Annalise tho >:)
Ah, a true Vileblood!
Smol Eileen is cute. A hunter must hunt :3
I love Blaidd’s voice lines! He’s so pleasant to listen to. I complete his entire subquest just to hear more of them, even though you could skip it and go directly to Radahn.
He’s so pleasant to listen to.
Absolutely, his voice is what pulled me in.
Also, thank you ! c:
Playing?
My RL1 Elden Ring playthrough. Only the two gods remain. For Radabeast I have to git gud with my Star Fist and for Consort I have a very precise but fast strategy that should work again. I have taken out every other Remenbrance already. Melania took longer this time even though I played better imo, but in the end Ice Spear triumphed, as i knew it would.
NPCs IRL?
None of the Hunters from Bloodborne. They are all pretty fanatical (even you Eileen, sry). Most of the Dark Souls NPCs are either evil or to far gone (hollow) or I would just not vibe with them, like the Catarina Knights. In Elden Ring? I liked most of Ranni’s troupe (except Seluvis you deserved worse), but from an outside perspective their are pretty fanatical and I don’t know if I really want a world order with “fear, doubt, and loneliness…”. I like Roderika and Hewg, but damn they are probably very depressing to hang out with.
Okay, who would I hang with:
I know, he is literally a highway robber, but he is a chill dude and he just wants to life his life. I could sit with him by his fire and eat some of his self cought crabs and have a taciturn conversation.
Come on she’s is a talking cat with an attitude. I got to meet her! She has some of the best lines in all of DS2 and she is (maybe?) omnisciente and not evil!About Ranni, I suggest this:
https://www.frontlinejp.net/2022/03/14/elden-ring-the-age-of-stars-ending-mistranslations-explained/
Elden Ring has some serious translation issues, and Ranni’s Ending turns out to be one of the victims.
Oh, that was quite an insightful read! Thank you!
The Order is kept at a distance! That was quite a mistranslation. An the journey is a personal one presumably with the consort. I interpreted the entire age for the entire existence as a journey in to fear, dark etc.
I listened to the dialog of the ending and the one by the grace in the tower many a time. This makes much more sense.
Maybe I should look more into mistranslation in Elden Ring (prior to this I only did so for Anastasia; Ogress just sounded to weird). I’m far more well versed on Bloodborne‘s translation.
Star fists are my favourite weapon for Radagon, the flow of the fight is so good and he just crumbles. Very satisfying. You got it!
Boggart is probably the most sane person in the lands between, def. would drink a pint with him.
Genuinely would probably pick Patches. Am I insane for that?
Just a little. (⁀ᗢ⁀)
First of all as an all-powerful interdimensional hyperbeing he’s got to have some pretty interesting stories to tell. And secondly as evidenced by DS3 and ER he actually has a good heart in there.
Maybe this is just Stockholm Syndrome after letting him boot me in the ass every game willingly, but I think he’d be surprisingly fun to chat with.
all-powerful interdimensional hyperbeing
Fair point, fair point…
as evidenced by DS3 and ER he actually has a good heart in there.
Ok, I should get arround finishing his quest in ER, I always forget. I’ll give the bastard a chance.
