Which Souls game had the best protagonist?

then why do we look like (pic related) and not (pic related)

The one who gets best waifu Emerald Herald

Dark souls doesn't have real lore and trying to make canon stories out of flavour text and memes doesn't make it any more true

Its basically idea guy where random shit is jotted down in dark souls then the sequels are just wanking of them

...

it does. its just obscure and told in a weird way
its kinda like mythology in a way.

...

I don't see that as evidence the Soul of Cinder, looking just like the Soul of Cinder, isn't the Soul of Cinder.

Here's your (you) you dirty slut

Hunter is playing on easy mode.

> bestgirl

His only actual downside is being console trash.

Always gets me.

wanna try that again?

Talent + practice*

Power wise? 2. In 2 you can legitimately become the king, with every kings crown and essentially rule over an age of darkness alone. In DaS1 it's implied you're being used by the serpents and in DaS3 you're being used by the serpents but too unimportant to bother meeting directly, instead deciding to send the chick to you. Bloodborne doesn't count because it's not a souls game.

If you have all the crowns the expansions added a new ending where you completely break the cycle
Dark Souls 2 was easily the most interesting game but got damaged hard by the chopping block and remaking parts of it in the last stage of development. They should have just removed all nonsense about the first flame and just made it a game about trying to claim the throne of want

It has lore, but it's all super simple and mostly cropped from mythology
It's nothing special

This looks lewd.

...

you're gonna have to give me the full thing,user.

The one the other user posted is ShindoL, not sure the name but it's about Maneater Mildred
e-hentai.org/g/993988/cbbc12f324/

On second thought i regret asking for that,very ugly.

...

What's the deal with the helmets on the left? It's like an egg-breaking tooth birds have when they're born.

Talent is an excuse that those who lack drive use to justify themselves

He's a faggot who should be shot in the foot for stretching his idea so hard that it just barely fits the lore.

spy shit?

You are a goddamned idiot if you believe that people with natural inclinations towards greatness in certain field (talent) don't exist. Of course they can be outworked, but that doesn't mean there's not talent.

Prince Aleph
Souls doesn't have MCs, it has templates so you can RP by either making a character or self inserting.

This thread is shit

I have never played a single game in this series and never will.

Oh no!
What could we do without you?

when I make a character in these I like to sort of roleplay about who they were while alive and create their build and make decisions in game based on that, its fun
so the souls game that had the best protagonist was ds1, because I happened to make my favorite dude in it

How do you know you're great at something if you've never done it? Or done it so little that you don't even notice how good you may or may not be at it?

It's the same dude.

Suck a whole lotta nigger dick.

Bloodborne, the Hunter ascends to become a Great One and spend eternity distributing eldrichtian dickings. Then Demon's Souls where the Slayer of Demons becomes a Monumental. DaS heroes are all fucked, no matter what they do.

Reminder that Mildred is just a bootleg Executioner Miralda.

Cute.

Fluted Armor > all, canon is for fags.

I have a better question: who's the best dicksleeve? The Maiden in Black, The Emerald Herald or The Fire Keeper?

Any of you niggers got that ashes of ariandel shit? i've been trying to snag a key for a little bit to try it out.

Maiden in Black > Fire Keeper > Emerald Herald

...

Vicar Amelia> dancer of the boreal valley> shit> asylum demon> everything else

Would you let her jiggle on your cock?

Priscilla > Gwyndolin > Quelaag > Prince Lothric > all that bullshit you mentioned

I'll give you Priscilla and that's it.

I'm always saddened at how poorly the concept art for games gets translated into 3D. Always reminds me how much more improvement can be made.

Quelaag isn't a man, and Gwyndolin and Lothric are cuteboys that might as well be girls, so fuck off tbh.

Quelaag has big gross spider butt, and cute boys are one million percent gay.

YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH.

Ashen One is literally a fucking corpse that fell out of a grave and started walking around. I dare you to explain how that makes him Artorias. The common theme in the Dark Souls games (can't speak for Demon's Souls) is that your character is a literal nobody who just happened to be the one that succeeded at whatever was going on.

did you get your big spider butt whore feelings hurt?

I do not appreciate you bad mouthing beautiful creatures such as spiders and spider girls.

hi wolfspider

Demons soul protagonist is the only one with any real agency.
Everyone else just kind of ends up in their gameworld by forces outside their control. Chosen Undead gets put in the asylum and abducted by the crow, DS2 PC gets told to go to drangleic for no reason by an old woman without knowing why,The Hunter and DS3 PC just kind of wake up in their respective games and roll with it.

Slayer of demons is the only one who chooses to go on his adventure.

Not if they dress like girls and have a feminine benis

I personally like Alva.

KILL IT WITH GREAT PREJUDICE

They are gay and so are you.

Ostrava of Boletaria

He didn’t have to go into the fog. He chose to, because heroes were needed to kill the demons. The other protags didn’t have that option at all from what I remember. The hunter showed up to get treated, and then woke up in a nightmare world. Chosen woke up in prison. I don’t remember ds2 and 3 at all though.

in 2 you show up in the hunters dream, told you have a nebulous curse and given a quest
in 3 you are a once undead who was laid to a more final rest brought into a world so close to falling apart that even that fails and are told to go fix it
neither of them really have to, they could become crestfallen or create some other life in their unlife

fuck I typed hunters dream instead of things betwixt

The only one with a canon singular character is bloodborne. Its why autists that don't understand that screech 'muh builds!' when builds exist in the others because they are random characters with many different playstyles. BB is a character called 'the hunter' and you can tweak his/her moves but they are the only set in stone character

DS2 had the protag get pushed out the door essentially by creepy witches. I don't even remember his title, I think it was Cursed One. DS3 stars a corpse that fell out of a mountain of graves.

None of the games have the player character on, they have the character from the trailer who make it so far in and die. Like the hunter from the BB trailer is found in the sewers next to a beast with a spear and the one from Dark Souls is found on a bridge. The running thing with fromsoft trailers is 'this is someone who couldn't finish the job, can you do better?'

What about Dark Souls 2? The cover character is just someone wearing the Faraam set and you fight a bunch of guys like that in the Shrine.

Actually, it seems The hunter may have wanted to find the pale blood and had ulterior motives to seek the beasts and the Great ones. The note at the beginning of the game when you woke up it supposedly written by him, at least I think it is in the japanese version.

you get the faraam armor from a corpse inside vendrick's castle.
he made it past the 4 great souls atleast.

I'd argue that the Chosen Undead is the strongest, just on the fact that they can harness souls at any bonfire to level up while the rest of the protagonists have to use an external source.

But I did, I had no experience, I tried it for an extensive period and I was complete shit at it. On the contrary, a friend who had no experience just like me tried it and he was "good" from the get-go, he progressed quicker than me, while I couldn't even draw a decent straight line, he was an ace at line art, naturally talented. The only thing I could do to keep up is chicken-scratch like a monkey.
Abilities grow with theory and practice, but each one of us has a genetical and spiritual potential, a "level cap" for each skill. A talent not only makes the gaining of "experience" for that skill much easier, but it raises the "level cap" for it, so it can reach higher heights. Trough talent you can find your Life's Vocation.
Life is the greatest RPG that is, a game of divine complexity, where the maker as thought of everything and everyone so that the truly unfair events called coincidences aren't born.

TL;DR
Something something Giotto drawing a perfect circle by hand for shit and giggles, easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Honestly, it's gotta be this. 2 definitely has one of the weaker protagonists in my eyes as well given they have no choice upon completion of the quest. The Chosen Undead can link the fire or become the lord of darkness- even in 3, you can link it, put it out, nigger it, or dominate it and become the lord of all hollows.
Pic unrelated.

The serpents are implied to be dead apparently (Kaathe is at least). The japanese version has Yuria refer to that when you kill her.

We need more discussion of which monsters we'd fuck in the series,come on.

ornifex

the throat slit banshees

Sexy trees

None of them

I'll just leave this here

Yuria's death comment doesn't mention that at all in English. What does she say in Japanese?

Absolutely not.

...

It's all there is,sadly.

And yet you both save and promote it anyway.

Alright then,tell me what character YOU would fuck.

None of them you fucking degenerate.

I'd fuck 908a4a in the ass like the sissy fuck he is.

I don't think you belong here.

The mimics would probably be nice if you like to be foreverial tiedup delitized.

Plus they're the second person after Gwyn to ever link the fire if you go with that end.

No I think you're the one that doesn't belong. If I'n guessing correctly from the shit taste in spider porn, you already killed the ss13 server once and you refuse to stop posting shit. And another thing,
It's like you're a faggot or something.

You are guessing incorrectly,i am not the person you think i am,and if you dont want to dick anything in dark souls,you're clearly not fucked up enough.

I just listed one, and there's plenty of hot singles in your area actual females in the game. Pardon me for not wanting to stick my penis in a tree, even your niggerstein had a vagina.

The japanese version implies that, although I've only heard it from fags like vaati.

Ravenous crystal lizard my man,gotta find that thing sexy.

NAY

being normal is not an insult you sperg.

She says she failed to fulfill Kaathe's dying wish.

...

Where do you think you are?

Wow, that's pretty definitive. Kinda sucks they left part of it out of the English version.

I'd fuck the plump ass crows from DS1 and the desert sluts from DS2.

...

Where do you think you are?

You're on a board dedicated to children's toys, run by a man child kike, and populated by weeaboo wastes of space. You either are one, and in denial, or are not and do not belong here.

Holy shit go back to facebook or reddit you normalfaggot,this is not a place for people like you.

...

why do i find the image disturbing

edgy

That is not nearly at all edgy,if i wanted to be edgy i would post shovel dog or some garbage like that,you are clearly running out of words to say,leave and do not return.

943dc7 is just a slut for (You)s

god forbid someone call out someone who wants to fuck a crows corpse or some shit for calling out others for not being mentally ill like him

...

All you're doing is filling up all his sexy holes by doing that.

clearly i'm not trying to fit in you fucking retard, i don't think english is your native language

No,you are trying to fit in,because if you're not fucked up,you don't belong here,why would you come here if you're not messed up in some way? Clearly reddit would suit you better.

why are you talking like a tumblr user?

edgy

literal virtue signalling is what you're doing right now, and that's okay but i hope you've never criticized anyone for virtue signalling in your life time because you'd be a hypocrite

...

but really though, none of the protagonists of any of the souls game really have a great reason to be doing what they're doing

I've only started seeing people use the phrase "call out" in the past few weeks. I'm familiar with seeing it in twitter screencaps from blue haired land whales, but where did you get the idea to use it here?

You've pleasured 943dc7 enough by now.

the phrase "call out" has existed for at least a century before you were conceived

yeah fair enough fuck him,lets go on and discuss bird booty

Corvians would be attractive if they didn't have those faces.

...

I've nutted at least twice to that.

...

...

Not reddit you fucking faggot.

Can't forget the dancer
@1441802
you dont get one

...

Seriously? What sites?

The usual,pornhub,xvideos etc
it's that gif accompanied by "YOU WONT LAST 5 MINUTES PLAYING THIS GAME"
"I CAME 3 TIMES IN 5 MINUTES!"

We've come to a point in time where I'm actually surprised I see those bad porn advertisements and think "holy shit, those ads still exist".
This is a weird future.

You know despite her being invisible there's a good amount of theories and depictions about what she'd look like

Monstergirl is normalfag fetish confirmed.

If she follows actual spider logic her pussy will be somewhere on her back.

...

Don't think she does given they gave her a second mouth in the spider body which doesn't make any sense.

she got mutated m8
she only has some superficial resemblance to a spider

user don't be stupid, that's not a mouth and it makes plenty of sense.
Dentata

no

SotFS added a second ending

Alright i'm hopping on DS3 right now,any of you guys wanna fight a boss or do an area together?

i already did all oft he bosses myself, i just need to grab some stuff that i meed and go to NG but i like the idea to meet in an area and do something i know where you got that gif my good sir :^)

please tell me where he got it as well

I imagine there's still a few people here who have bosses they haven't touched or beaten,maybe some optional ones?
If so guys hit me up with your name and location.

Wouldn't the ashen one be the strongest considering they need to kill the souls of all the previous undead who linked the fire to get the ending?

Well there's some evidence that the Hunter had some idea about what he was getting into since he was specifically after paleblood.
Whether he actually really accomplished anything or was simply the latest person to witness Yharnam's final night as viewed through a s series of concentric nightmares is another story.

>>>/clang/

id say we meet up on the church of yorshka bonfire because why not the character's name is Pacobell, do we use a password?

I don’t think any of them really had any plans before entering the fog other than kill demons and save the kingdom. Look how many heroes from throughout the world ended up dying during the demon slayer’s quest. Look how many ended up corrupted in some way like poison pussy and her hammer knight.

Sure why not

let's use the password infv

its what the game nights use as well

sign is up, i hope other anons join aswell

I think i'm part of the sunlight covenant so hopefully i'll be able to join yours and vice versa without it being an invasion,assuming i dont have mound makers on or some shit.

Big surprise.

i don't see any commies in this thread, go away

Ah shit i think i accidentally new gamed myself,i'm not seeing my later bonfires
anybody in new game plus in the starting areas?

You can parry healing.

...

congrats, you made me waste three minutes spawning vermifuges and stones

I was able to make the coolest characters in Bloodborne, so that one.

Stop being so self-concerned and actually have fun.

I could never get the character creator to do what I wanted.

Okay so first time doing ashes of ariandel
holy shit these tree women
i would fuck HARD

How many times are you going to post the same image, you fucking cunt?

Hardest boss in the series.

I PRESENT KOJIMBO

You're pretty good.

roooh gaijin
rack of PC port is to make your feer the rear phantom pain

Looks more like a fusion between him and Reedus.

Respec when? I want to respec builds and retouch my characters so bad. Make it NG+ only, 99 Insight, a gorillion echoes, I don't care. Who do we have to harass for it?

None of these games have a central protag with a clearly defined personality or character traits; the meme that the box-art set is the set the protag is wearing through the game "canonically" is dumb and always has been dumb, because every single souls game has choices that go from black and white to being straddling shades of gray. In DeS your world tendency and character tendency are ever shifting to the way you play and the actions you take, not giving you a total failure at any end of the spectrum to the degree that, in universe, there is no set path for you to go on besides killing every boss on the journey that matters and then killing the final boss(es); there is no canon path because they all basically get you to the end point in your story with a very slightly different road. Dark Souls is the exact same way, except it's simplified to being character interactions and completing or not completing certain quests; doing all or none of the quests does not enable you to a different ending. With that in mind, is it canon that you do all the quests? None of them? Only the ones with sieg? Only the firekeeper resurrection? There is no true canon to the journey of the games because the linearity is just for the sake of completion, an end goal. Never played dark 2 but I'm sure it's the exact same way, and Dark 3 has no weird paths either, so again, the canon of those games is completely made up with your own character in mind; they're a blank slate for you to pour yourself into and pretend how they would act and think and feel, which is the basic element of an RPG
Bloodborne is no different, despite being a game with completely different systems; the RPG elements are all for you to decide how you want to play and what you think your character would do; do you allow alfred peace? Do you resurrect the queen of vilebloods? Is the main character a collector? Does he main sawblade? It doesn't matter, the story hasn't ever mattered in any of these games for gameplay.
To hammer this point home, my friend plays bloodborne as a cop who is completely unaware of the crazy shit, making abstract concepts into simplified and direct ideas that a down to earth cop would assume if he were there and not going insane;
The point is the story is what you make of it, and the grasping at straws for what may be the plot or canon end or any of that shit doesn't matter because at the end of the day the story doesn't change how fun it is to play any of them
Fuck off with this shit and burn down all the lore threads, the thing we should be talking about is the fun times we're having playing the games and investing into certain builds or characters.

...

thats just not true

[not an argument]

I've only managed to make an 80's Simon Belmont and a blue Ayy Lmao which ended up looking sort of like a Tau.

Any other Hunters getting dropped out of online?
After some search, it appears this is a common thing but in my 3 years with the game, it's the first time I've experienced it. No solution to it either. Apparently, the servers might be overloaded which makes sense because BB is a PS+ freebie for March so everyone's bandwagoning.

thanks
heres the rest of my characters
ill just leave em here.

Bearer of the Curse

2nd looks like a young Gary Oldman. Pretty cool.
