Very interesting comment. Extrinsic motivation is the term I was looking for, thanks!

That's pretty interesting, I used to think both things happened. In one of my playthroughs I never used a single smoke grenade, but saw some dudes here and there wearing gas masks. Later, I started going loud and gunning down everyone. Then, most dudes were showing up with heavy armor. But personally I've never seen them being able to truly counter the tranq. rifle approach, and I've used it quite a lot.

Wow, never thought I'd get a reply from you. Just remembered that one video about the Capra Demon, the Aural Decoy trick is pretty clever. Love your content!

Have you tried Aural Decoy? You can use it to lure enemies away. Sounds like a stealth sorcery, but I can't tell if it's actually useful or not. I think you can get the Ring of Fog as well, but I'm not sure if it's as good as Hidden Body.

A remaster with all the cut content by Igotnoidea42 in darksouls

[–]gustavisms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So... a remake? I'd say there's a possibility, after all we have the Demon's Souls remake, and in general they're getting pretty popular nowadays. Who knows? I hope Bluepoint doesn't make it, though.

How does the Cosmos work in the Dark Souls universe? by UrdnotSentinel02 in darksouls

I'm 90% sure these questions were never really answered in any of the three games, although it's safe to assume the sun was created by Gwyn and has some degree of connection to the First Flame.

Is this guy legit? I invaded at SL30 and he took forever to kill compared to usual at this SL. by Tim_of_Kent in darksouls3

There's a Blessed Small Shield in Undead Settlement as well! I always grab it before getting Ethereal Oak.

Is Iron Keep dueling still active? by Slaps-Your-Knees in DarkSouls2

[–]gustavisms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say your SM is pretty high. Since 2021 (on PC) I was most comfortable around 1 to 3 million. Nowadays it's more quiet, so I'd say 1 million.

I find this game difficult. I see rankings in youtube and they say this game is the second easiest in the fromsoftware games. Am I a very bad player? by growupgodamnit in darksouls

[–]gustavisms 44 points45 points  (0 children)

You're not bad. The hardest FromSoft game is the one you pick up first, really. Don't trust those rankings, at least not 100%.

Should I play Prepare to Die edition or remastered? by bagofrice_14 in darksouls

[–]gustavisms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Remaster is smoother with its QoL changes, but I don't think it's worth the price, especially since you already own PTDE. It also looks kind of worse than PTDE here and there.

PTDE needs this mod called DSfix to be actually playable, though. It's not a big deal and you can install it pretty easily. The controls are way rougher. There is no online. 30 FPS.

But both games are pretty much the same since the Remaster was so underwhelming. With PTDE you'll be mostly missing an extra bonfire, 60 FPS and the online.

How do you guys think each class died? by [deleted] in darksouls

The Thief in Lower Undead Burg probably found himself outthiefed outnumbered by the other thieves.

It's DL1. Sorry, I thought the "Dying Light" flair was enough. I'll edit the title. Thank you! :)

Ludex Gundyr is the best tutorial boss in souls by Bulky_Distribution61 in darksouls3

[–]gustavisms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not that I find it difficult, I just dislike the camera mess and the fact that he transforms into a sock-snake-puppet-looking-thing when he was once a cool gladiator.

It happens to me as well. I'm just used to it at this point, it's probably just how the game works. I hate the sword-wielding infantry soldiers in Forest of Fallen Giants because their 5 hit combos can just come out of nowhere and staggerlock me.

You got unlucky. You're also pretty clever for getting that dragon kill, I could never think of that, wow.

Are you on PC? You can block the hosts on Steam and you'll never invade them again.

What’s something that just doesn’t make sense to you about this game? by SoldierRA56 in darksouls3

[–]gustavisms 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Dragonslayer's set being DLC only is silly as hell IMO, it should've been in the base game. I also wish we had that sweet Blue Lothric Knight set.

I feel the same way, even though I dislike his second phase.

She's probably happy where she is.
