  • I feel like the game was absolutely balanced to an extent around spirit summons - especially the NPC companion ones you can get for certain bosses like Rogier for Margrit. If a NPC has a summon, I’m summoning them every time if I have trouble soloing the boss but I will usually rarely also do a spirit ash; but I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with doing so.

    and if I’m being honest, I went into the DLC with a lvl150 fucking dex/faith/int build and the goddamn moonveil katana because I’d apparently been fucking around with a really annoying blackflame pvp build at some point in between putting the game down like a year ago and picking it back up for the DLC this weekend. And I got so mad dying to Rellana for the like 30th time in a row that I went ‘ok fine fuck it’, equipped Mimic Tear +8, summoned Leda the NPC and used Golden Vow on her, walked into the boss and immediately summoned my mimic. watched in awe as they fucking ganged up on her as I just used the Magma Breath incantation, rolled 15 feet away and spammed black flame/blade & spinning disc incantations with the occasional flask refill at her until she died. kinda trivialized like 90% of the fight because I would just camp on the sides throwing blackflame and when she’d attack, run away from her going ‘help help!!!’ until she realized Leda and my mimic were still throwing shit at her & resumed fighting them. Immediately clipped it and sent it to my tryhard friends & they were actually irate with me but fuck it I’ve fully embraced the ‘useless priest’ RP I’m doing through the DLC. There’s nothing wrong with doing this - the game was built with these mechanics in mind. If Miyazaki cared about me spamming Black Blade that much, he’d patch it out of the game!!!

  • If I could just designate a whole 10x10 area with multiple levels as a ‘catacomb’ and not have to worry about only a single dwarf being buried there; I would absolutely be way more into the kind of Moria style of tomb/catacombs with statues and slabs but having to add a door aggravates me so my dwarves tend to get chucked into warehouses unless they’ve done something really badass like die fighting a forgotten beast
