New account. I've gone by many names in the past. You may have known me previously as gil or egglend. Sorry for that confusion, I'll try to make sure this account stays up. I'll be more seriously sharing my thoughts/reviews about ~media~ I experience. Anyways here are my favs.
"How is your day going?" ❌
"Rate your day so far from 1-10" ✅
Texting her "how is your day going” will always lead to "It’s going fine and yours?". The other will lead to more conversations because it’s open ended.
@HkonMk Elden Ring fans and DS1 fans are two very different sets of people. I wouldn't expect good will to carry over. Anyways, the games themselves are very different too and what makes a good ER boss doesn't necessarily make for a good DS1 boss.
I do think power scaling can refer to the activity of an author ensuring the capabilities of combative individuals is consistent within their story. I’ve used it like that and I do think it should be clear from the context what people are referring to.
The speed and amount at which characters can increase their strength, how much talent vs hard work matters, how strong characters affect the world they live in, all of this can fall under the umbrella of power scaling imo. And it is a facet of writing uniquely important to
Dark Souls 1
Dark Souls 3
Elden Ring
Bloodborne
Demon's Souls
Dark Souls 2
Sekiro
I started and stopped a few of them and then went to another game but this is the order of completion.
@Husvero Just something to really sell that this is the "last" boss. Kind of holistically. Also I think Miquella's grab attack should have a Ruin Level Drained or ScaduLevel drained debuff just to harken back to Allant, otherwise pretty great boss
@Husvero I feel like when he's at the very last of his health his aggro should be turned up a notch. To the point where he pretty much never stops attacking and forces you to hit him in his small attack windows, or better yet just have a scripted tight combo chain.
