no one plays souls games for the story. it's pure combat+exploration.
if you wanna be indiana jones and figure out how the world got fucked then more power to you, but at the end of the day you're parry-riposting bitches who may or may not have it coming.

the issue is that soulsloppers pretend that the story is actually the greatest thing ever and it's SO hecking innovative to tell it through item descriptions (it's ass)

Then dont fucking pretend your story is deep. either have a story that means something, or just let the player have dumb fun, and dont shove a bunch of esoteric bullshit down the throtes of your players who are trying to piece together a story that doesnt fucking exist.

Its on you to interpret meaning, your failure to is only a reflection of your inability to think for yourself

Miyazaki didn't invent this or poison swamps or esoteric nonsense. These exact stories existed in Kingsfield and Shadow tower. Literally the sole contribution Miyazaki did for Fromsoft was rollspam. Everything else was better before
