    If I had a nickel for every dumb, obtuse, or needlessly punishing system in FromSoft games I’d have a lot of fucking nickels.

    Which I’d use to buy the next FromSoft game so…

      And then there’s Elden Ring.

      There’s at least 3 YouTubers who rely on this obtuseness for their careers. Ones I very much enjoy.

      So you could say someone has been getting those nickels!

      Alas elden ring has finally crossed my threshold for bullshit I’ll put up with.

      Unless they release bloodborne for PC, then I’ll put up with a little more.

    Why didn’t you pick up the doll before you got to anor Londo? It was in the same area as the place you needed to backtrack to in order to not have the poison swamp be such a shitty experience.

      In the place where you got surprised with a falling unbeatable enemy. Where you get back, you have to parkour your way on top of deadly high walls in a not obvious path. That to even get to, you have to jump out of an elevator.

      It’s so obvious and simple that you need that for the second half of the game!

    Why didn’t you rescue his mentor in the Prison of the Ineffable before talking to The Old Hermit? He died of loneliness!

    I mean even if you do the the quest properly they still almost always die regardless. Maybe you get a better item.
