if you look careful to the game’s story, people die all around, love one got cursed and turn into monster some of which even worst than dead. Human souls tortured for hundred of years , alot end up vanish from demonic riture and have no salvation.
This is actually the f*cking Darksoul if you think about it.
Yeah the story is dark, that’s why I’m raping my spacebar while questing. Most NPCs along the way die in brutal manner. Remember the people that were smashed to death? soldier rooted to death too lul. Tortured soul and stuffs.
Dark plot is nice but it’s impact got lessened being the bloody ‘chosen one’=Revelator right from the very start, and being slapped by plot that I gotta save the world from demons being their evil demon selves.
I guess I’m not that fond of linear storied games.
Quests and sub-quests regarding/connecting to Hauberk is very interesting tho. We can see how the Goddesses and Heroes of the past are also making use of demon(lord) souls themselves one way or another.
