     @lina As a main hub? I like it more than ds3’s firelink. DS1 firelink was better than majula though.

     The nostalgic and chill vibe Majula is peak scene design, the only thing that gets close is the Hunter's Dream on Bloodborne.

     Majula's music is so relaxing. It feels like warm wind hitting your face. Really the odd one out compared to other souls games where the hub is kinda depressing (nexus, firelink ds1 and 3)

     @yomiel @john_darksoul lets be honest, there's a theory that every ds game takes place in the same exact place but in different ages, but fr, drangelic unironically had nothing to do with anor londo and firelink
     everything in ds2 just felt prettier and cooler than ds1 or ds3

     heides tower of flame was really pretty. I honestly like dark souls 2 a lot for the environments. they're not as accurate as the dark souls 1 and 3 skyboxes but they're more like pretty paintings.
     
     The pillars before aldia's keep is a standout to me.

     @yomiel @john_darksoul i didn't recognize any of anor londo in heide's tower of flame, sure the old dragonslayer arena looked similar, but ultimately it felt more like a decrepit, lost city that was occupied only by the most devoted of heide

     DS1 felt the saddest and most decrepit. DS2 was disjointed and felt the most pretty. DS3 felt the most 'epic', though that's mostly due to the impressive sky boxes since the game was a PS4/Xbox one release.
     
     >drangelic unironically had nothing to do with anor londo
     Bad example cuz heides tower of flame is sunken anor londo and you can even go to the large anor londo tower and fight ornsteins armor :P
     
     except for that basically no locations are recurring, at least to my memory.

     @yomiel @lina I don’t want to get into an autistic debate about this but this is an old take. Solaire’s comment is in reference to coop. The player being able to assist and get assistance from people in different timelines with respect to game progression. The timeline within DS’s story is normal. DS2 on the whole is a complete mess even within its own internal storyline. It is mostly not considered when looking at story as a whole. DS3 still leaves a lot of questions unanswered too though.

     time and space are malleable, as solaire says in DS1. so the lore cope would just be it changed locations or something. or at least thats what you're experiencing as an individual.

     @yomiel @lina For the world lore yea. It’s more thematic. They gave a ton of fan service for the most popular DS1 characters (Havel/Orstein) + Gwyn’s lost son. They answered the Pygmy question too. I think it was a good close, but all the cool sub story details like Seathe, Velka, and the plot against Anor Londo are all still mostly unanswered.

     @lina @yomiel I think the DLC’s give it its own character. The mainline game is full of references. It has peak boss design though. Really hits the right spot on difficulty for the endgame and dlc bosses.

     @yomiel @lina Yeah I agree. I actually think From games do pacing very well. Open world sort of undermines that although I think they did it better than most others too. Ultimately open world hurts replayability for me. I’ve only done 2 playthroughs of ER.
