I will never stop saying how much I love this game, sure it's arbitrarily more difficult due to ADP scaling and some weird bosses, but it was my first and still my favorite souls game

[@systemrecords9708]

Amen brother, same here. My first souls game, the game that got me hooked on dark souls. I simply adore this game.

Bloodborne was my first souls game, it got me into the souls stuff. This one is the one where i am most calm and relaxed playing.

[@crummysquire]

[@azn_1050]

This was also my first Souls game, which makes it my favourite game of all time. Also, the PVP was by far the best. The slower pace and better movesets made dueling a lot more deeper and so much more intricate. Whereas the other games it's mostly just R1 spam to infinity.

[@Moro-Goro-300]

Incredible how the all bosses run is actually interesting now whereas before it was the most boring shit i had ever seen

[@brodierisher2874]

Would doing the pursuer cheese at the cardinal tower where you jump the ladder save any time in the beginning or do you think that killing him with the ballista is still faster? I’m genuinely curious because you’d get enough souls to get the bright bug and other stuff to get the soul ring and you’d have ring of blades before last giant so it’d make that fight faster too I’m just speculating I don’t know if it would be a time save or not

[@BlondeMcGuinn]

I don’t think that would count in the “all bosses” category? I really don’t know, just speculating.

[@Cerise__]

​@@BlondeMcGuinnDragonrider also gets cheesed, but it still counts. So cheesing the Pursuer would also count, because the Boss version dies, and you get the Soul of the Pursuer. But killing the boss version would be faster, because you only spend like maybe 10 seconds on the fight, while cheesing the previous version would take a little longer.

@@themangotango95 because I really love dark souls 2.

I like the game so much I'd love to try scholar out after I beat the vanilla game completely, as well as all three dlcs

[@systemrecords9708]

@@themangotango95 yeah this was my first souls game so it will always be special to me. Plus this game has the best fashion souls, best pvp, and powerstancing. So it has a lot of great things going for it. Also, the sheer size of the game and it has SO many armors, weapons, items, magics/spells/miracles/pyromancies, its crazy how much stuff is in this game. Plus a nice meaty main game and three entire dlcs to add onto that. What more could a ds fan want really? Sure this game did some things differently from the original dark souls that not everyone was a fan of, but I don't mind at all. I enjoy this game immensely and am still working on it. Granted since elden ring came out I've had less time to play this game but I will definitely be getting back to it. Im glad you're enjoying it as well, if given a fair chance the game really is somthing awesome.

[@robertkane2091]

I've been watching this influx of Dist Scholar record avidly since it started a little while back and obviously what I'm waiting for as with everyone else is the glorious sub 2 hours which is fast approaching. But as I was watching this one a question occurred, entirely out pure curiosity because I know it couldn't be an official run or anything for good reason, but what's the upper limit on how fast you could kill all bosses in this version if you used NG to stack the deck entirely in your favour? Procure every consumable, weapon, piece of armour, spell, level you'd need and specifically build the most OP character possible and then tackle all bosses in the first NG cycle basically. Obviously the enemies have more health and deal more damage in the cycles, but the first NG+ isn't ridiculous and the kind of character I'm thinking about should make even NG7 a breeze for speedrunners who make not getting hit look so easy anyhow. I'm thinking that the sheer time you'd save in menuing and collectathons would outweigh any extra time on boss fights, if indeed they even would take longer with such an OP character. I know that Scholar adds some extra things like NPC summons in NG cycles, at least I think it does, but I can't for the life of me remember if any of these would present any kind of issue, I doubt it tbh, but possibly one outside Drangleic castle entrance if my memory isn't failing me could be annoying, still don't think it would make a huge difference really. So yeah what would the upper limit be on that, how much faster might it be, anyone have any idea?
