Anyway, these types of games always were made for personal interpretation, but I was just curios how you got there.

I was going to make a joke about my headcannon being that the Tarnished is into feet, and then I looked up “Ranni feet” and felt the need to clear my browser history.
Damn those dudes are weird.

On Seluvis, I only gave the potion to the warrior chick to get the Scorpion charm and then merced him with extreme prejudice.

The only time Ranni lies to us, is when we first meet and she says it's Renna. Since she's in hiding, I can't even blame her.

Which she immediately drops the act and flat out tells you that she's actually Ranni before asking if you really want to serve her.

Good thing there's no 'Inform Gideon' option.

My distaste for her aside, I do view this as a fumble on the developer's end. She shouldn't be telling you up front who she is considering how monumental the consequences of her actions were for the Lands Between. I think there should of been a build up to her revealing who she really is. That you stumble on clues to what her identity might actually be, with maybe a chance or two to ask her about it.

Do not forget, if doing the Rogier quest, it is us who enter in her employ with ulterior motive. And at the end, we deliver the knife and we get the other half of the cursemark, a simple transaction.

A motive she sees immediately. The cursemark means nothing to her, yet makes the Tarnished jump through hoops to obtain. Considering her end goal is to leave, so much trouble could of been avoided if she simply gave the Tarnished the cursemark.

Did you really give a roofie to a woman who's foster father abandoned her and was in an extremely vulnerable state due to the upheaval of everything she knew?

Would you give random strangers a way to access your discarded human flesh?
Her putting us to work for it is not that strange, regardless if it means nothing to her. It means something to us.
Ranni is just doing capitalism 101.

Would you tell a random stranger you're responsible for murdering one of the gods?

She has the Tarnished become her errand boy/killer all for something she doesn't want, while our actions under her have major consequences. She's a manipulator.

Minmaxing is more important to me than consent.

For as much as people scream and clutch pearls about giving her the potion, she's a really good summon. Not as tanky as the Dung Eater, but she seems, to me anyways, to stance break enemies more than other summons.

The Boyz (Greatshield Soldiers) and Mimic are the only ones I use, if I bother using ashes.
Sorry, I just can't bring myself to roofie Brown Sugar.

Do people get stuck on a boss for months? For real?
I just can't understand how.
Statistically speaking, you can smash your face in the keyboard and there's a chance you'll win.

Ten thousand years ago, before even the Age of The Crucible, my little noob self took a few solid weeks of trying to defeat O and S.
Now I've transcended to the point where it's not a question if I can beat a boss, but of how much attention I should even dain to give them. I have become one with the cheese. I see hitboxes where they are and not where they should be. I am the Golden Man, simply allowing my animal instincts to guide my actions to the perfect solution. My build is always optimal no matter what because I am the one who is playing.
I have gotten gud, and if you wish to become Elden Lord you should do the same.

I like to go head to head against bosses until I feel like they're just blatantly unfair or unfun. There's a point where I'm just not interested in the fight anymore and decide to just abuse the boss as a finger to the dev, like some of the shitty double gank fights. I got tired of Radahn's colossal faggotry in phase 2 after 18 attempts and pulled out the ironjar aromatic so I prayerful strike spam him to death. It's pretty cheesy but at least its gouda cheese compared to the Kraft Singles cheese a.k.a. shield poke spam.
 
Here's an adorable homage to that (now classic I guess) Dark Souls II animated parody Happy Souls


I like the various animation styles the creator goes through, like showing Caelid as a Doom map, or dungeons looking like old-school Zelda complete with muffled-sounding voice acting

It's undeniably janky but it's nice to watch something light-hearted in this cynical modern world

I'm starting to understand the people talking about how the phrase "git gud" rustles their jimmies.

Oh well, I'll just have to try once more! This time, for sure...! :-O

Bayle has high resistances to most damage. All elemental damage is a 40% reduction. Use pierce damage which he only negates 10% of. Also level Skibidi Blessing to 10-13 if you haven't.
 
This is the first time I've done PVP stuff in these games, and it's actually a lot of fun. Both ganking a dude with my pimped out arcane build and trying to fend off a gank is fun, and when you start getting strategical with landscape and mess with builds you can cause a lot of trouble.
You never know if you're getting some noob or another turbo-autist like yourself, so there's a lot of fun experiences in PVP so far.
