TheCzarsHussar Posted Thursday at 11:27 PM Share Posted Thursday at 11:27 PM There's an ungodly broken ash of war for the backhand blades that's plaguing pvp at the moment. It's near undodgeable, combos into itself, fast, low fp cost and gives i-frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are SO in synch! I was just at their summon signs contemplating on who I should choose!

Without spoiling much, you lose some really cool interactions with either choice. (And gain some). So your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a shadow of a doubt was Mohg bewitched by Miquella. If you immediately go talk to Sir Ansbach after the great rune is shattered but before killing the golden hippo, he talks about his attempt at freeing Mohg from Miquella's enchantment but was too weak. Having his heart stolen by the Empyrean instead. People are making memes about the encounter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted Friday at 01:37 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:37 AM One criticism/praise I have for the DLC is that there's like a billion side plots happening at the same time. Each area has it's own super distinct theme and story (the base game kinda had that, but not to this extent). That's great because it's awesome to be like "This is a Dragon area? That's awesome!" but then I'm like trying to criss cross and remember everything that's happening at once. It's super overwhelming. In contrast, Old Hunters had a super tight plot that was interwoven seamlessly through everything into a single narrative and theme that worked wonderfully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKillaBee Posted Friday at 01:54 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:54 AM It is hard to keep up with. I doubt theyd ever add a quest log lol but itd be nice. Like a journal, not arrows.

Like it’s a list of every NPC you’ve met, and when you select one, it opens up a page where you can read all the dialogue they’ve said to you in order. That way there’d be no handholding whatsoever. Just info we’ve already discovered, recorded in case we forget any of it. 2 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont consider that handholding really, it'd add focus to a first time playthrough, same as with morrowind. Everyone leaves notes and writes, I'd consider that pretty immersive. Even a region mention or general area would be good. Would be less hand holdy than allowing people to use summons.

The Good Doctor Posted Friday at 02:40 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 02:40 AM On that note, I’ve been jumping back and forth in the Shadow Keep Storehouse for ten minutes. I quite like the story they’re building up with all these NPCs. Freyja is happy that Radahn’s soul will be reborn, while Ansbach laments that Mohg’s soulless corpse is to be defiled. It’s funny to see these two become firm in their positions on opposite sides of the conflict but still remain so cordial and chummy with one another. It is cool to watch followers of these great bosses moving along on their own quests to honor or redeem their masters. 2 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're some of the best FROM has done I like how Ansbach could have easily deceived Freyja onto his side...but instead choose to give her the untarnished truth. He's just that honorable, and wanted to do right by her. It was honestly hard to believe such a principled person was serving Mohg. Freyja's perspective on the issue is also understandable: but reflects the Redmane perspective of strength before everything else. She thinks her lord being resurrected as an "immortal God of War" is a great thing and something Radahn would want; without delving into the morality of the issue. It's why she respects Ansbach so much; he's a famous warrior she's heard horror stories about. For some creep points, that comment Ansbach makes about how he thinks Miquella genuinely doesn't understand the shame and humiliation he's inflicting on Mohg by using him in his Radahn golem. Like hes' too naïve too comprehend the hurt he's causing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like hes' too naïve too comprehend the hurt he's causing. With the expanded lore upon Mohg and his failed dynasty, it doesn't even seem so horrible to begin with. Obviously it's a horrifically brutal order, that could very well seek to turn all those who wronged Mohg and his people into the agonizing blood zombies. But that's not altogether an undeserved fate considering what he and others of his kind put up with. He welcomes Tarnished into his order once they forsake the Two Fingers, elevating them into knighthood. As they too are forsaken by the Golden Order. I'd say Mohg was definitely still a very sinister character, seeking to spread his divine faith across the land Dagoth Ur style before Miquella hijacked everything. Hilariously with all the pieces together, I think Varre was Mohg's lover before he got Mohglested by Miquella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
