Why is there so many elevators? Who builded them and why?
>>736558480i builteded them
because the dogshit level design needs elevators all over the place to "fix" it
Good morning ESL!
>>736558480I had sex with the man that billed them.
>>736558668Newfag
>>736558480does this game even have a single elevator
>>736558480The better question is why there's often long ladders in places that were plausibly regular living quarters not that long ago
>>736558961Nah, ESLs who can't spell are newfags because they got internet access around 2016.
They buyed from china
>>736559841the game has a npc who literally runs a ladder selling business
>>736558480Gwyn had them built using taxpayers' money.
>>736561214that's dark souls 2
>>736558480Because FromSoft loves to solve level design problems with elevators and teleports.
>>736558480Nobody talks about how in every souls game there's lifts that are built atop a bottomless pit, or random ladders that are cartoonishly big. Like the one from upper to lower undead burg - "lol let's build a 50 meter ladder in this random featureless room so that citizens can travel through our city"Also in elden ring, in stormveil castle there's a rope ladder that is like 300 fucking meters long. Great level and world design, mitsubishi-san
I get it. It's hard to make forward moving levels without resorting to some cheap-ass shortcuts like elevators and ladders all the time, but after you've played two of their games you really start to notice that shit.
>>736561623Bro the entire town is taken over demons and hollows. Maybe those ladders are escape/alternative route built by deuteragonists like Solaire etc
>elevator...le baderm, why?
Let me guess, next you're going to write a video essay about how ridiculous it that the Blighttown elevator is powered by a single fire dog.
>>736562170Because they overuse them.
>>736562165>Maybe those ladders are escape/alternative route built by deuteragonists like Solaire etcSo what some dude runs into the featureless, conveniently 50 meter tall room and is like "wait a minute, I could add a ladder here?"My point is that people deepthroat souls over "muh interconnected level design" when most of the time it's linked together via comically huge ladders and nonsensical elevators.Another hilarious part of lower undead burg is the alternate route, which is like a huge staircase, with no railing, whereby if you slipped you'd fall off to the left side down a bottomless cliff. So we can deduce that in the world of Dark Souls, the humans or whoever were like "why yes, this is a completely sensical and safe design for our people".
>>736562295>Blighttown elevator is powered by a single fire dog.If you take the broken pendant to the dog at just the right time, you'll uncover a big secret.
>>736561214One of the many reasons DS2 was based

>>736562404>So what some dude runs into the featureless, conveniently 50 meter tall room and is like "wait a minute, I could add a ladder here?"Yes, His name is Gilligan.
>>736562960So I take it in medieval times, if you were a peasant going to a market or some shit, it was usual practice to be told just before "yeah bro, just make sure to keep your balance when you walk along the tight-rope over the giant piranha pit. Oh yeah also make sure you run AFTER the comically large ballistic fires it's shot"
>>736558480fat peopelstairs are hard
>>736563120There's a reason there's practically no one left alive in the Dark Souls world.IRL I've seen some very nice mountain trails in the Middle East get ruined by modern safety precautions. It's just not the same when there's walls on both sides.
>>736558480Sen built all of them
>>736558480Alligator seem kinda dangerous ngl.
>>736558480jeets go in the bin>>>/trash/
>>736563349>I've seen some very nice mountain trails in the Middle East get ruined by modern safety precautionsNatural formation versus something that is man-made. In DS apparently the humans (who are mortal / not undead at this point) like to build their towns & cities like it's a looney tunes cartoon
>>736563362>trusting an elevator built by sencouldn't be me
will any game ever surpass the convoluted and dense world feeling of pre soul vessel of DS1?is it even possible???
>>736562295that's actually not a bad topic because the dogs are the strongest enemies in Blighttown so how did they convince one to spend all his time doing that.
>>736558480ITT
Why does every elevator shaft have to be a bottomless pit?
>stack levels>connect with elevators>call it "interconnected world">ret/v/ards rave
>>736558480>Why is there so many elevatorsto go up>Who builded themthe people who live there>and whyto go up
>>736565658A world that's actually desgined like the MS Paint drawing on the right would actually be kind of cool.
>>736563804>how did they convince one to spend all his time doing that.doggo is just a goode boye who like to run on wheel :3
>>736565658bed of chaos being on the same elevation as the bottom of ash lake is stupid if you think about it, unless the tree isn't meant to be 1:1? but being able to see both ash lake and the upper lost izalith from tomb of the giants implies that they're at least comparable
>>736567043There's a lot of fudging going on with skyboxes implying that you're supposed to be "further down" than plotting all the terrain on a 3D mapviewer would seem to indicatehttps://youtu.be/sr0ayFx4tBY
>>736566483>>736563804>>736562295At least that elevator IS powered by something. Meanwhile firelink - parish elevator has chains coming from empty sky
>>736567989The undead burg and firelink bridge is the most interest things among these beta stuff on the skyboxhttps://youtu.be/YYjMgHaml04?t=1968
>>736567997https://youtu.be/nk17PSXb9ZQUhm, Miyazaki-san? Your logistics? My immersion?
>>736567043From uses tricks all the time to make you think you travel more than you actually do. Elden Ring is full of similar tricks.
>>736562342>overusation is... le bad>because... it just is, ok?
>>736558480miyamoto the evernever used them to keep the under burg denizens busy
>>736563804>dogs are the strongest enemies in BlighttownUm no, the toxic spitting faggots are
>>736572623Technically its the fucking ghosts if you arent geared for them
>>736572714there are no ghosts in blighttown
