Thespian*: Dark Mistresses
avatar
ddmuse: Every Dark Lord needs a Dark Mistress... or at least that's what I took from playing Overlord. ;-) I do like Royo's art, but I'd not seen that first one (moon, greatsword, blood tear) before... It is LOVELY.

Code sent for D2 (let me know if you'd rather have SL), enjoy! :-)

Licurg: I WILL TAKE THEIR SOULS

ddmuse: So you will... SACRIFICE them! (hehe...) Code sent, go forth corrupting! ;-)
"I shall do thy biding, Master..." Oh wait, that's from Warcraft III :P

Thanks a lot for Disciples 2, oh, you Dark One! :)

Please, let me sacrifice Licurg's soul in your honor, my evil master! :D

PS: I'm glad you do share my appreciation of Luis Royo. Nobody better than him knows how embody feminine beauty in dark, gritty scenarios (both fantasy and sci-fi ones), nor has recreated so many times the myth of Beauty and the Beast (very often with the roles reversed) with such evocative art. :)

Here is a ride fit for Dark Lord..

If selected, I'd prefer D2 over D:SL, but either one is fine..

Ah great! Congratulations! By the title of this post, I think I know what ending you achieved. I also beat it yesterday and I've already started another character to make a more coherent build for online play. I want to be a DEX+FTH sunbro this playthrough.

Dark Souls is probably one of the games I've enjoyed the most in my life. I don't remember having such a blast since I was a kid. I usually have a hard time finishing a game, because I tend to get bored of most game after 20-25 hours, but I've already clocked 60 at DS and I don't think I'm going to stop anytime soon.

I think the zone that made me suffer the most was definitely Tomb of the Giants. I didn't use the candle because I didn't realize you had to wield it on your left hand for it to work as a candle, so I cleared that zone in complete darkness. I even had to make pen&paper map. In the end I found the exit by mistake when I fell off a cliff and landed on a ledge that led to you-know-what-boss.

Did you play on PC? If not, did you play the Artorias of the Abyss expansion? I tremble at the thought of confronting some of its bosses again in NG+.

PRAISE THE SUN!

p.d: Disciples II has been on my wishlist for quite some time now. I enjoyed DIII a lot and I keep being told DII is way better.

ddmuse: I'm sorry, but you must post something awesome. Those are the rules. Can't be going soft and expecting to maintain my status as Dark Lord. :-P
Umm, SOMETHING AWESOME!!!

Something awesome happened to me just this morning but I'm not sure if I can tell what it is.

For your consideration: Black Angels

Should this prove sufficiently awesome, I would like the first Disciples, thanks.

Codes sent:

D:SL -> triock, duragon, & klaattu
D2 -> cosminm, Aniki, & Kasbe_DRC

Let me know if I mixed anything up juggling codes, cutting & pasting, etc.

@everyone: Thanks for all the awesome, and enjoy Disciples! If you missed this giveaway, watch for another during future Strategy First sales. It's become a sort of gifting tradition for me to give away Disciples games every once in a while... someone must spread the gospel, after all! ;-)

Aniki: Here is a ride fit for Dark Lord.
(staring open-mouthed, drooling a bit) Wow, that is beautiful. What is it/where is it from?

Congrats on your victory! And yes, I went for the "Dark Lord" ending. For those that don't know, the thread title:

"Let true Dark be cast upon the world."

is actually a line of dialogue from that ending. It is a *very* short ending for such an epic journey, but I found it satisfying enough. Amusingly, you can actually get the Dark Lord ending by accident (because it's not made explicit that you actually have a choice, and you can make that choice without meaning to do so...).

Your 60 hours sounds like a more reasonable estimate for beating the game. I took 140 hours because I did EVERYTHING... went everywhere, found everything, bought everything from everyone, etc... I went a bit... okay... waaaaaay overboard. Bought all pyromancies, sorceries, and miracles and the stats to use most of them, bought one of each item to try. After the first few hours playing on Xbox, I knew that I'd eventually buy it on PC, so I wanted to mess around and experience each aspect of the game so that I could make specific builds later with a knowledge of how everything worked.

I had the Cast Light sorcery from Dusk of Oolacile, so the Tomb of Giants wasn't too bad (except for that part with two giant skeletons at once). I'll be playing the Artorias of the Abyss expansion when I begin a game on PC (just received it in the mail this last week)... tho I'll need a break first! ;-)

A last bit of awesome: Therion - Sitra Ahra

mrcrispy83: *points to forum title*

ddmuse: "General Discussion"... is awesome? Is that an entry? :-P
:(

no, my forum title
<-

well, I guess someone who didn't play it at launch wouldn't get it, besides maybe some memes that would be pretty ancient by this point.

Anyway.

While Dark Souls was still a good game, I thought Demon's Souls was a much better game overall. Dark Souls was a bit more balanced in terms of boss difficulty, since in Demon's Souls you could cheese/exploit bosses to an insane degree (Flamelurker getting stuck on objects in the room, several bosses not attacking you if you're in spirit form and have the thief ring on so you could just stand still and regenerate mp, etc..). And the Estus Flask mechanic is pretty nice, sort of balancing out healing without needing to farm healing grass since you can get from one bonfire to the next without worrying about running out of heals but you still have to think a bit whether you really need to heal in boss battles since you have limited charges. Also no WT bullshit or as much farming because there's not as many materials needed for upgrading.

But the level design and story in Dark Souls was a lot worse since it felt rushed to market, and there seemed to be more stuff that's hard to follow without a guide in terms of hidden areas and npc quests (since they ended up in areas like the lost izalith shortcut or that area behind double invisible walls).

though, worrying about WT in Demon's Souls was awful which is why I don't even want to think about platinuming it.

I should get back to it to play ng+ for the platinum, and play the dlc, since I haven't played since shortly after the OFFICIAL GUIDE NERFED patch.

Dark Souls...Demon's Souls
Lol. I get it, and it is awesome, but I wasn't looking at your custom title at the time, instead thinking "title of the forum." Chalk it up to being sleepy. ;-)

I haven't played Demon's Souls because I don't have a PS3. Perhaps someday I'll pick one up cheap, but for now there isn't enough that I want to play on it. I do wish they'd port Demon's Souls to Xbox and PC tho.

The Estus Flask mechanic is nice, but you have twenty drinks by the end of the game, and each swig restores a *lot* of health when the Flask has been upgraded with several Fire Keeper souls. I suspect that a lower max might have been better to encourage players to avoid becoming careless (tho perhaps NG+ and beyond require such powerful healing... not sure yet).

Would you be interested in The Witcher as a consolation prize? Got a spare code from one of those super-cheap sales in the past.

Shiuman: snip
This one's over, but I'll prob do it again sometime in the future. Look for it during SF sales especially (obviously). Lots of contests/giveaways/games/etc going on here all the time tho, so try your luck elsewhere in the meantime!
