Soulslike - Discussion, News, Memes
This is a community for discussion, news, and memes pertaining to the video game sub-genre "soulslike".
Given Lemmy's size, the definition of soulslike may be treated relatively loosely. While games like the numerous FromSoft titles, the recent Star Wars Jedi games, Lies of P, Nioh and similar games should be the focus, games that incorporate soulslike elements - like Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, for example - may also be discussed here.
Basic Lemmy-quette applies. Additionally, since flairs don't exist yet, please do make sure to include a marker to denote what game your post is about in square brackets for clarity's sake. An example could be:
[BB] This enemy is so difficult!
or
[DS1] Anyone struggling with the gargoyles?
Friends:
Should you have any questions, please do let me know.

I recently had a thought about Melina in Elden Ring:
I wish she would appear at every grace as long as she is your companion and that you leveled up with her. This would make it more impactful, when she is temporarily gone, in Leyndell or the Land of Shadow and even more impactful when she is permanently gone after sacrificing herself or you siding with the Three Fingers. She could also appear as a summon in more places then Morgott (maybe even with a mechanic to "charge" her up and make her corporeal so she can act (as a summon) in more situations).
In my playthroughs I take care to trigger (almost) all of Melina's dialog and always have enough levels to actually level up with her. You can also do a fun hero villain team up for Morgott and summon both Melina and the Dung Eater for Morgott. (You can do the same for Godfrey and summon Nepheli and Shabriri if you did tiier quests)
Sorry for my tangential thoughts. I don't have an opinion yet on the Lies of P companion. I own the game but haven't played it yet.
