Yup. Network test dialog, after calling you maidenless, was "Feel free to go off and die in a ditch somewhere."

This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".
Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.
Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:
[BB] This enemy is so difficult!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

The first time I played Elden Ring I walked out, talked to Varre, listened to that chicken fried bitch talk shit about me, and smacked the shit out of him.
Then he killed me. Repeatedly. Embarrassingly badly. I had to start a new game just to progress and you bet your ass I walked softly around him the next time. I had never played a FromSoft game before and had been out of gaming for years when I picked it up. I thought he was a training mob that talked shit.
I mean, you were right, you were just unprepared for his training.
He definitely trained me to keep my fucking weapon to myself until I knew more about what I was doing.
The first guy you meet in a Fromsoft game ranges from being an asshole like Varre to a pathetic sack of shit like the Crestfallen Warrior.
Either way: They will attempt to kill you eventually.
Now that's just unfair: Crestfallen Warrior is absolutely an asshole.
He is also big on the "Go and die in a ditch somewhere, will you?" attitude.
