The Sun has Turned... The Moon has died... no more time, no second life a Monster is born- and the Hunter has died.

Shoutout to characters that are both genuinely deeply kind and also genuinely terrifying and willing to spill buckets worth of blood to get something done. And neither of these are an act, they're just both very true.

Miquella the kind spoke of the beginning. The seduction and the betrayal. An affair from which Gold arose And so too was Shadow born. What followed was a war unseen One that could never be put to song A purge without Grace or honour The tyranny of Messmer's flame And so Kindly Miquella would abandon everything. His golden flesh, his blinding strength. Even his fate. But we are not deterred. We choose to follow. Will you walk with us? - E L D E N R I N G Shadow of the Erdtree (06.21.2024) -

Are you planning to do the same for the next two souls games?

What is your go to class/build in a souls game? *eyes*

Depends on the game usually!

For Dark Souls 1, I’m a shameless dex-maxxer skfjdjz (down with the Strengthbros). I prefer to start with Knight because I’m weak for fashion souls and it works as a start-up dex class.

For DS2, I like the Swordsman to start because I eventually like to turn into a dual-wielding ninja and use a melee build. DS2 is slowwww and I make it go fast.

For DS3, I’m back to fashion souls and I pick the Knight. I go back to a basic dex build with that, but I also started doing a lot more Deprived runs when I was playing. Still always ended up with my ideal dex build, but with DS3, I was more experimental. I was actually getting into faith builds when I’d start as Deprived and it was becoming a possible new fav?

With the other Soulsborne games, I had less preferences and just experimented. Dark Souls awoke the dex builder in me and I still stand by it. I love my speedy, lightly armored builds.
