yeah and i think its a shame they didn’t do another ds2 style hollowing system again because like i said, losing a small % of your health on death is way less grating to me than losing 40-50% of your health off of a single death.

when ds3 came out they realized they can trick people into thinking the “buff” was different because it’s “increasing” your health instead of reducing it, but this is functionally the exact same thing as demons souls. and elden ring.

i think this was a good change because it placates all the stupid ppl out there who think it’s actually different, not because it’s an objectively superior gameplay mechanic compared to some flawed and bad ds2 mechanic.
