DE is how I think story-heavy and focused games should be. It doesn't need gimmicks, it doesn't need any "gameplay" at all, really. It just needs to have the branching narrative. The reason to play through it again, and again, and again because each time you actually get something new, something different. It's all about your choices and stat distribution. The only choices that feel meaningless are literally the ones that straight up tell you in the game that they are, in fact, meaningless. Which is also fun, when it's being used humorously as Disco does.

That said, I have mentioned it would be nice to have combat; but the last time I played through, I found the combat. Literally got a scene I had never seen before because I always actually tried to solve the murder before and only needed the first 3 days to do so. This last time I went for the total loser run and didn't do shit. Which led to a really great action sequence.

Does it even have that many permutations when the first 3 and middle 2 are coded to actually mean something?

Knowing the context of communion and transubstantiation, I feel like Jesus was talking in metaphors but some people took it literally. Maybe it's because my Christian teachings were from a Lutheran church where nearly everything is just taken as a metaphor. I also suspect that's why I am an atheist, to begin with; none of it was ever claimed to be real. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The only candies that have sex identities at all are Mounds and Almond Joy.

Because one has nuts and the other doesn't.

Not since catechism. What weird shit happens? Cuz I don't remember. I mean, besides the supernatural BS during the crucifixion and resurrection.

Become so much of an Atheist, that your disbelief in God sucks the faith right out of theists.

Only amongst the people in charge of big companies that make the games.

The actual cogs probably have tons of ideas being ignored because management doesn't wanna take the risk on something new and original over doing the same tired-ass shit they've been doing for the past 2 decades.

You (other gamers) wanna see creativity? Look for independently made games, where passion still exists because they're not beholden to a council of greedy shareholders sucking the very soul out of them.

I vote with my wallet by not buying <thing>

Billionaires vote with their wallet by buying politicians and lawmakers.

It's a bit uneven.

 
 

If only I had Mogh's trident so I could take advantage of the fact the AI hasn't activated and just nuke her. 😢

 
 

Spoilers ahead for real; if you haven't gotten to the end of the DLC be warned.The fight against Leda and her allies vs you and yours was the coolest fight IMO. However, I am disappointed in it just because they didn't make it like the Mirror Knight or Half-Light. Instead of just the NPCs, it would have been gnarly to get actual players in there.

It really annoys me because, you can have a big PvP melee with the group fights in the arena... But even the day they added those arenas, the queue for those matches is always seemingly empty. I have never been able to actually get into anything but duels.

The AI being AI, it's not a particularly challenging fight. But man if they were real players, instead, it would have been an adrenaline rush.

 

Just like you can use them to reveal illusory walls and kill chariots, Margit and Mogh's shackles can be used to unlock the locked spiritsprings.

If anyone else has been tearing their hair out looking for some of these things, this oughta help.

 

So we all thought that this island of clouds was the possible location for the DLC up until it was shown to be in a "different" realm, however...

The Shadow Realm appears to be at the exact center of TLB. Meaning that, even though the main map wasn't changed to reflect it, these lands are probably located under that shroud of clouds, obscured by magic.

 

I never really noticed or thought about this before but there's quite a bit of stuff in the DLC that has me questioning whether or not the game itself matches the lore in the sense that there are plenty of people who are alive and well (Melina's line when urging you not to seek the Flame of Frenzy also states that life still flourishes and that births still happen), they're just not shown in game because Fromsoft doesn't think they can do bustling, living cities well.

What do you think? Are the few NPCs we meet all that's left in the world or are they just representative of a larger picture we don't see due to the fact it's a game?

 

Giving me Fang Boar Helm vibes.

 

With the new update and DLC, I've noticed every time I get the being summoned message, the game will minimize. Like.... Every time. Anyone else getting this or am I uniquely being annoyed?
