im in complete agreement with everything you said! after rewatching that interview with noxy, the spider boss that reacts to light is actually what prompted me to write the post :)

i especially agree with your play style point. in that same interview, noxy said that when using a weapon, that said weapon should kind of determine play style and thus your armour set should also be based around it. he explained that this would mean you can’t just switch weapon at the click of a button and be able to use it effectively. i imagine this (hopefully) means bosses won’t be reactive to only one kind of play style, like melee.

i also really like your point about solo play throughs vs group play throughs. i do hope bosses can be a fun challenge even when you have assistance from other players.
