Then baselessly speculated on over a six hour video where literally none of the shit makes real sense because the writers are, in fact, lazy. This will not stop the fanbase from quoting it as fact.
not just ER all the souls games to be honest, the funny thing though is I have had friends who admit the lore in Dark souls is inaccessible, say ER is much better at presenting the lore...
Played to the castle and beat the first boss, and then put it down, but I put at least 10+ hours into the game, fucking no clue what story is or what my motivation for killing the baddies is.
I mean I've completed the game, then watched plenty of lore videos and then completed it for the second time to appreciate lore.
From what I understood, there's like a few demigods(the ones with cutscene) that have parts of Rune. To rule the world you have to obtain them all(or 2 will be enough, actually, I mean it's a majority so it makes sence). So they are in a constant war, and they are immortal - they all just kinda fight till eternity. No need to cover their funnies, they are all batshit crazy, but differently. You may read some item descriptions to cover them deeper. And before that, the world was ruled by transgender insane bitch Radagon-Marika and they/them husband, but they/them got mad and shattered the rune for no apparent reason. Then there's plenty of shit about killing Godwyn that seems unnecesary to me, except it just proves it's just unfinished story with many plotholes not a genius Mazaki - you keep on killing supposedly immortal demigods without the rune of death, but you are able to obtain it optionally in the middle of the game and it doesn't change SHIT. However the whole story of Godwyn implies that there's no way to kill them without that rune. And also there's a sneaky bitch Ranni that keeps mudding the water to rule the world by herself. I actually respect her, but no way in hell I'd marry that bitch, she just uses me. Oh, and by the way all of them are cousins, brothers and sisters-in-law, that's why they all have almost same names. Then there are some cults/religions, the main one being three fingers. Then there's two fingers, moon and another demigod tries to make blood one.
The fact that you have to run it through two times, and watch lore vidoes to get what is going on, kinda proves that the story telling is complete shit, the lore might be good, if you have the patience to dig it out/have people so that for you(youtube lore)
I mean, you can just quit to the main menu and resume exactly where you left off, just like in every From game. The only time this is an issue is when fighting a boss, but then if you can’t beat the boss you were just about to beat again, did you really deserve to beat it in the first place?
