    I imagine all of these powers come as the worst possible implementation like a cursed rabbit’s foot.

    Like free gravel for life: you don’t conjure it out of thin air at will, no, it’s magically mailed to you once a day in small quality and you have to remove it from your mailbox or it’ll fill it up.

    Teleport 7 inches: a magic nimbus appears and lifts you on it. If there’s a wall in the way, it just keeps shoving you against the wall.







  • May I offer some unsolicited advice.

    1. Your damage output is as important if not more important than “getting gud”. The more damage you do, the fewer attacks you have to dodge. That’s kind of the secret to all these Souls games.

    2. Damage output and damage mitigation come from stacking many small, incremental bonuses. The most important upgrade for damage output is upgrading your weapon with ores. Pick one weapon (eg. Longsword) and invest all ores into it. Any weapon is viable for the whole game as long as you upgrade it. Don’t be afraid to commit ores into your chosen weapon as you will eventually have an unlimited supply.

    3. It’s possible to suicide-run into dangerous areas for powerful items since you don’t lose items upon death. You can collect mid and high-tier ores this way even at low level.

    4. It’s perfectly okay to farm exp from higher level, non-bosses. It’s low risk since you’ll be near a rest site. A good example is killing Vulgar Militiamen from the Farum Greatbridge site in the most northeast area of Caelid. You can horse yourself there ignoring everything. There are plenty of ideal spots that people have found, just look them up.

    5. If you’re still having trouble, do each step in the following video as you see fit. Notice that most of these improvements are obtained as items, and not obtained by leveling up. https://youtu.be/GYI5Z3jhKB4



  • There is definitely a small set of powerful, rich, and influential people who “benefit”, but I don’t think it’s a pyramid of nefarious overlords so much as it is just a large web of people acting on their own interests.

    Plus, quite often things are the way they are because of historical inertia. It’s why historians place make such a big deal about continuity. For example, many laws we have can be traced back to some series of awful events that happened to a set of people. But those awful events were probably caused by yet another set of awful circumstances.

    If you’re looking for some group of people to blame for all of your woes, you might just become a fascist.
