[alt text: a semi-surreal meme image on a plain white background. Two characters from Dark Souls are saying, "My lord, we have absolutely ESSENTIAL lore information for the player. Should we make a cutscrene for it?". They are looking at Hidetaka Miyazaki, who has the From Software logo emblazoned over him, and he is replying, "NO...Put it in the description of a COOKBOOK". There are several cookbook item icons floating between the characters.]
I don't always pay attention to the deep lore in games, and that sometimes hits me all at once. I'll find myself thinking, "Wait, why did I come all this way down a giant tree full of monsters to kill this lady? What the heck did she do to me to deserve that?"
Riddle me this:
I never look online for game hints, I played ER for a while, got frustrated.
Looked at hints, they explained how you get tempest like it was the most obvious thing in the game to sleep in the church after level 5.
Wtf?!?!?!
I hate from soft games because they seem to expect you to look online.
