Talk about the dark souls and elden ring and what not here
>>4061996Not an RPG
any opinions on the meaning of the story of DS (all three), in other words what is the writer behind the story trying to convey, what does it all mean??
>>4062063Gotta keep going
Considering how much of Demon Souls and Dark Souls 1 is the player trying to parse esoteric mechanics like world tendency and how souls work, it's weird that the sequels mostly reuse the same mechanics and don't do much to innovate. The game Tunic reminded me of what it's like to play a game where you don't understand what things actually do until you experiment with them.
Sir, this is an RPG board.
>>4062063Do you think it's worth keeping the flame lit? It's one of the more elegant stories in vidya
>>4063728Why delay the inevitable? Let the fire fade, for all we know what comes next will be better anyway.
>>4062063>>4062583>Gotta keep goingThis, basically.It's a metaphor for a videogame. Don't go hollow (quit the game). The rest is just aesthetic, atmosphere, rule of cool and vague feelings stuff. Most of the meaning is just projection and headcanon.
>>4064022It reminds me of the russian revolution. Regardless, in the game you can roleplay and rationalize either way, because it's vague enough.
