I hadnt used my Series X since I unsubscribed from GamePass... I hooked it up to a big TV today and I had forgotten how gorgeous games look.

@VileLasagna absolutely not
@afreytes In that case, don't give up, skeleton!
always important to ask, imo. There's a whole spectrum between "I don't want to know ANYTHING" and "please tell me exactly where to go for an easy time because I'm done with this faffing about". Your mileage WILL vary with where you land there at any particular time if you keep playing FromSoft stuff XD

@afreytes @NaClKnight Hmmm.... would you like some guidance in that direction or would you like to figure things out by yourself from here?
Also, yeah, these games have a weird relationship to information. They like being obtuse and cryptic with a lot of stuff. I enjoy playing mostly blind at first but these games really assume a community to figure them out and share info in many ways so they CAN be frustrating with many things
@VileLasagna @NaClKnight I feel like...
1) if a mcguffin is needed to proceed, then that information should be repeated always at the same place
2) obscure information or non-repeated dialogue should only lead you to bonus items or things that are helpful but not necessary/required to progress
I actually like FromSoft approach to story/lore... It's just sometimes it depends on the player doing trial and error trying to find out which item is required in which section
