why do souls likes do this?
They don't. Soulslike is when the guy on the left has to fight the guy on the rightThe image caption is more of a mmorpg trope.
>>746059514>you can't wear metal armor without a demon helping your musclesBecause humans were created as slaves and cattle
>>746059514Dark Souls 3 opens with>Hey you, useless wanker. Wake up.>The guy on the right is being a cunt and not doing his job, go stab him. A lot.>you suck btw, better start working on that lol
>>746059514The closest example of this in Dark Souls is Oscar who literally dying at the start of the game. He obviously can't fulfill the quest himself. Plus it's ignoring the fact that the player character in Dark Souls canonically can keep coming back to life over and over again. That's a huge game changer. That's the main reason they win out. Shit even if you are a pro player and can play the entire game without getting hit once, you still technically end up dying to Seethe the Dickless Dragon.For most adventurers they're playing on literal permadeath mode just like us regular humans do in real life.
>>746059514>Get to the final boss then drop the gameNobody has ever done this bro
>>746059772you start with a full set of armor though, it's just very encumbering (you are retarded)
>>746059514of course a toff is gonna order some commoner to do the hard work instead of doing it himself
>>746062225my buddy did with sekiro
>>746059514Guy on the right is not tarniverous enough, thoughbeitfully, eh? Hehe.
