You underestimate his sense of smell

[@Brutalyte616]

The theory also goes that the resin seeped through the visor into his eyes and the molten liquid ACTUALLY blinded him. Gough is not a simpleton, nor is he an idiot, so I sincerely doubt he's never taken the opportunity to try and remove his helmet or remove the resin from it if he could actually see, nor would he be so easily convinced he had turned blind overnight.

Considering resin in Dark Souls is on fire, emits electricity, or is deadly poisonous I believe it could blind someone if it mixed with sweat or melted and seeped into your eyes.

Demon's Souls was amazing. The creepy music, darker atmosphere and overall despair in the world. Even down to the tinier details like how phantoms glowed when invading, all those things made it unique from Dark Souls.

The reminiscence of the glorious past, in his humble but generous and honorable speech with that tragic touch for the remembrance of the one's lost in the past an the experience as a truly master. This voice makes the character a lot deeper than a bunch of pixels can do

[@amiefortman7220]

I particularly love his tone on the line "That beast will never take to the skies again"... that mixture of regret, solemnity, and a little bit of awe. As if he's realizing as he speaks that Kalameet's death means the end of an era, that he now truly is a dragonslayer with no dragons to slay, and that the world may never see these great creatures again and know what they meant. That one sentence is so loaded with meaning, and it's all thanks to Carter's fantastic acting.

[@jakacresnar5855]

one of my favourite details of the cutscene on "how Gough fights dragons" is the dust that falls off the bow and continues to fall off Gough whenever he makes a move. It subtly suggests he's been sitting there, whittling away, chilling for years, decades, maybe even centuries. Then he just plants one through a flying Kalameet's wing like he hasn't skipped a heartbeat since he last shot his bow. Amazing environmental storytelling.

Gough has to be the most threatening looking knight of Gwyn but is clearly the most gentle and soft-spoken of all of them. He clearly cares deeply for all of his fellow knights, as he states that he has much to owe you after slaying Artorias, despite the idea that they never truly spoke often. If not for Artorias being in a Abyss ridden state, or not knowing of the (presumable) death of Ornstein, he’d probably try and attack you for disrespecting his fellow knights. I kinda wish his voice was like this.
