>who is the woman with the baby>who is the old woman>what is that portal, is it the future? we travel a ruined future to another ruined future?I believe the reason ds2 feels like the black sheep of the souls series is in it's intro, generally you are thrown into a context of a political struggle between faction but in ds2, it doesn't mention anything about the world and just keeps it about the mc, another thing is no tutorial level where you fight a gatekeeper and it goes on and on, des, ds1, ds3, sekiro, bb and ER has all these things
>>737191729Drang's lakeThere you go.
>>737191729I never played ds2 and couldn't be bothered to finish ds1 because it was too boringelden ring and sekiro are the only good fromsoft games
>>737192064Too boring = i got exposed and couldn't beat a boss so i cope by saying it's boring
>>737192064holy newfag
>>737192064Careful, you'll trigger the lolcow and his buttbuddy.
>>737191729>who is the woman with the babyYour family. Probably wife and daughter, or whatever else if you're a tranny and play as female>who is the old womanThe forth firekeeper, who was also a projection from the Emerald Herald>what is that portal, is it the future? we travel a ruined future to another ruined future?Who knows. I'm guessing it's the past, since you see the ruins of the entrance getting fixed in the lake reflection. Since the land in DkS2 is very much the same as DkS1 (and 3), the outside world aspect of the intro is a bitty iffy. It's not completely isolated, since the Dark Sign and the Hollowing still exist in this outside world (you got the dark sign before stepping into Drangleic)
>>737191729>Someone from your past you forgot>Idk some Parca stand-in>Idk some threshold to another worldIt's okay for an intro to a game to not explain things. Otherwise you end up like DS1, where the intro is a huge lore dump then for the rest of the game fuckall happens.
All the souls games take a lot of inspiration from the mystery religions and mythology. A very well made and interactive alternative to the initiation ritual. The journey of the human soul before or after life. The hero’s journey. The big question is who is this hero of a thousand faces? Who Are You?
>>737192629I am Destiny 2 pre-order the special edition
>>737192218nah nigga the game is just too clunky and slow, it isnt fun enough to justify walking around hallways to collect shitty items
>>737192629I'm me. Every Souls game is an isekai.
>>737192064Good, the less zoomers shitting up souls fanbase the better
>>737192490>Since the land in DkS2 is very much the same as DkS1 (and 3)Is this actually true, it doesn't seem like it,you don't see anything that links to ds1 at all in ds2
>>737191729One of two: either the woman is your wife and the baby is your child, or the woman is your mother and the baby is you.
