Extinguish the bonfires. No bonfire run

Well, I belive the DLC will give us many answers, and if not, the PC version will probably be hacked 'till the roots in order to find stuff that hasn't been discovered in the game.

i had found a "gravelord event" within the game a long time ago, if you play offline when you go to the painted world for the first time, their are black phantom mobs everywhere. i never was able to find a gravelord sign though. and this only happened while offline so it was definitely not a multi-player event (i was disconnected from my ISP at the time)

oh…and this only happened to me during my pre-patch play through and after not finding a gravelord sign, i just killed Pris, left and never went back that play through. i have no idea if this event still occurs post-patch or not, i've never tried to duplicate it in 1.5. maybe i'll do that during my fireLESS run.

There was a small discussion between myself and a couple others on here about the phantoms in painted world. Apparently it's only prepatch, or so we think, because were unable to duplicate it and considering that the patch served to make things a little easier, phantomless painted world seemed to fit. I have been able to duplicate it deleting all patches so I know it's a patch thing.

I'm busting a full kindle this time wearing the priests hat. Figured I would give it a try since petrus tells us that by kindling we'll receive unimaginable power(!!) or something like that...

I'll post results as they come!

Shabbalaba describes the Japanese themes with their Easter eggs and the interesting thing, to him too, was the subtle difference in the everlasting dragon theme. Take a look!

RNsunbro, this is interesting. I've never been able to duplicate unless I went back to prepatch status, . Are you sure it wasn't a residual curse?

I tried to post 3 times and all were deleted before hitting send. Frustrating.

Basically I very neatly made an argument for why the Text dump is not at all "FULL".

I have often heard hollowed out souls say, "dude there isnt anything, dont you know they did a full text dump?". In response, I argue that its crap.

I went through the original two files that were apparently "ripped from Xbox360 Dark Souls retail copy"

Here are the original files he posted as... here is the quote:

"Oh and if you were wondering if this is fake, here's proof:

"

Well, I went through these 2 originals, basically just doing the old ctrl-f. They are not complete at all. The dialogues seem much more complete, but not the item descriptions. Really its only a partial text dump. A minor text dump actually, considering all the text actually in the game. Its a bequeathed shard of a text dump. So I argue that we should be sure to treat it as such. I had a much more pointed and interesting argument before it was deleted twice. So, just take a look for yourself. If I am wrong, then I am wrong. I had to search through all those wing-dings and whatnot so forgive me. I think it best if I just say it and put it into the incandescent sunlight and see if you disagree.

Regardless, it is an invaluable resource and we should be grateful to those who provided us with it. I simply stress that we should take it for what it is. Which is partial.

Here are some gems:

The first of the dialogues:
UNKNOWN CHARACTER-- "He has the key. The choice is yours."
I wonder who "he" is? Lautrec? Prob not the player character, prob not Reah.

Apparently removed Oscar dialogue:
"A pleasure to meet you. Sage Frampt has spoken to me about you. I am Oscar of Astora. I am told that you rang the Bell of Awakening, and received the word of Frampt. That is a wonderful thing."
Dudes on frampts side!

Anyway. I had a ton more but I am tired of re-writing.

Maybe if you extinguish all the fires except the e dragons and then kindle it to full ittl blow up in his big face.

I stood there at the Edragon on my first game for about an hour pondering this. I wussed out. Kindling is against the grain for that character. Didn't feel right. It does make a bit of sense though, sort of placing a vote for the Edragon on one hand, and perhaps bowing him up with unstable fires. Lol. That would be a beautiful sight.

Well, time to create another character... .
