I really admire FROM software and their ability to hide so many amazing stories in their games. I understand that is the main point of a single player game, but they don't really care if we find about the side characters or not.
I went through my first playthrough of Bloodborne without ever talking to the little girl in the window before the Father Gascoigne fight. I figured them all for useless time wasters but I'm amazed at how the story elements to these side characters have so much more depth to them.
Solaire in DS1, whom I had no idea was such a crowd favorite. (I only started my first playthrough of DS1 this year after my amazement at Bloodborne.) But he has such a beautiful story to him.
Anri in DS3, Gehrman in Bloodborne, heck, even The Nameless King has so much lore to him.
And I love how FROM never throws this stuff in your face and does absolutely no hand holding. I think they are easily one of the best developers around, alongwith CDProjekt of course.
So how many of you are looking forward to Sekiro?
There seems to be a lot of parrying/riposte which made my life hell is DS3 but made it easier in BB. Looks like there's gonna be a lot of "git gud" in the future for all of us.
