Let's ring in October right. Welcome to Demon's Souls. In the Northern Kingdom of Boletaria, a calamity has arisen. A colorless fog has swept across the land. Demons have risen from the depths and have begun to consume the souls of men, leaving armies of the mad and depraved in their wake. Everything is in ruin. Mankind faces extinction. The world needs a hero. Many have attempted to take that title. Saints and sinners, wanderers and warriors...and one more, a lone knight, returning to his kingdom to try and make sense of the senseless. This is his story. But seriously, what is going on here? So, I shall be doing a run where we will be sporting this Fluted set as a constant set of equipment--everything else about Geoffrey's journey will be up to you. Will he pursue the soul arts? Will he find comfort in his great faith? Will he be a man of great strength or expert speed? Will he stay with his shield and sword, or will he branch out and try some new weapon he picks up along the way? That decision will be put to vote--you shall decide what sort of man Geoffrey will be. A savior? Or a new sort of demon? What path will he take? What foes will he face? After a certain point, I will put all of these decision up to a vote, and whatever the thread decides shall be poor Geoffrey's fate. Of course, that's not all there is to see here. I'll also be sprinkling updates about with some real-world information about the various armor sets and weapons we find in the game. We'll study the lore of the game, and maybe we'll factor in the multiplayer if we can manage it. We'll be a little informative, a little entertaining--there's something for everybody. So, welcome to Boletaria--let's begin!

Sharp-Dressed Man--A guide to Armors The Maximillian Armor  Named after the Holy Roman Emperor Maximillian I, the Maximillian Armor is a 16th-century German plate armor whose fluted shape is what gives it its in-game name, the Fluted Set. The shape allows the armor to deflect sword attacks, and the armor itself represents a shift in styles of armor-making--moving away from the plain but functional 15th century armors and towards the elegant and elaborate Renaissance sets. It is an armor that was meant to resemble fashionable clothing of the period, especially the sleeves. The armor is functional as well as fashionable. Even the bulging of the belly and the slope of the helmet serve to enhance its protective nature--if it is difficult to land a direct hit on the steel, it's difficult to kill the man inside, and in an era before the popularity of firearms, such a design would be immensely valuable on the field. The curve of the gut would make it hard for a stab to punch through. The fluting of the helmet was known as wolfzähne or wolf's teeth in German.  In-game, the Fluted set is a solid piece of armor, in a game that many say doesn't really favor heavy armor. It offers decent protection, but little special favors like other armor sets do. It isn't as powerful as the Mirdan set, another starting armor, nor special armors like the Gloom set. Still, it offers decent stats and, most importantly, it looks great. It is about the equivalent to the Elite Knight Armor from Dark Souls. With starting stats, you have a very slow roll and slow stamina regeneration while wearing it, though this can be fixed with the right levels. Peasant Clothes So we picked up the Ragged set in the previous video. Now, actually, we haven't gotten the complete set yet, and there'll be a different armor update for it when we finish it proper. However, at the moment the only meaning this armor set has for us is that it is crap, rotted and full of insects. Demon Souls Item Description for Ragged Robes posted:Robe made of layers of ragged fabric. It's covered with tears, unsightly open seams, and numerous unsightly insects wriggling within it. No sane person would dare wear something like this… Sounds pleasant. So what did actual peasants wear?  Medieval clothes provided information about the status of the person wearing them. The clothing and fashion during the Medieval era of the Middle Ages was dominated and highly influenced by the Kings and Queens of the era. Only the wealthy could dress in fashionable clothes. Sumptuary Laws restricted people in their expenditure including money spent on clothes. The head-dress worn by people during the Middle Ages immediately conveyed the rank of the person. The Medieval peasant clothing was basic and practical. The dress of the men in the lowest ranks of society was always short and tight, consisting of breeches, or tight drawers, mostly made of leather, of tight tunics or doublets, and of capes or cloaks of coarse brown woollen. The tunic was confined at the waist by a belt, to which the knife, the purse, and sometimes the working tools were suspended. Leather Armor Leather armor is a very rudimentary form of armor and almost certainly predates plate and metal armors. Leather armor has been used by pretty much every culture on Earth and would be made up of varying types of hides, depending on available wildlife. In pre-Qin dynasty China, leather armour was made out of various animals, with more exotic ones such as the rhinoceros.  Leather armor is not considered particularly GOOD armor--after all, even well-made leather is lacking in the ability to block a blow from a sword. Leather armor was favored by mobile armies or "barbarian" forces, such as the Celts and the Vikings. Early La-Tene-era Celtic warriors did not wear armor, although nobles occasionally wore chest plates and chain-mail, a Celtic invention, according to the Romans. Later, leather armor, light bronze breast plates, chain shirts and scale armor were employed, although they were typically beyond the means of common warriors. There are numerous types of leather armor, perhaps the most effective being Lamellar armor.  Wikipedia posted:Lamellar armor consists of hundreds of small rectangular iron, leather (rawhide), or bronze plates (scales or lamellae) which are pierced in various locations and laced together into horizontal rows to the proper length needed to construct a particular armor item. When the lamellae are made of leather they can be hardened by a process such as cuir bouilli or lacquering. The rows of lamellar armor resemble scale armor, but differ by not needing a cloth or leather backing for the lamellae, and the lamellae are pierced in many more locations. Lamellar armor eventually overtook scale armor in popularity as lamellar restricted the users movements much less than scale armour. Leather armor is a kind of broad category so we'll keep it brief for the purposes of this posting, but as these games go on, we may revisit this topic for more specific makes and models--like everything in human history, there's a broad variety of leather armors and their forms and functions. The executioner's hood  The executioner's hood as seen in popular fiction and video games comes from a practice of executioners hiding their faces from the public crowds who witnessed the act. In almost every society (with some degree of exception to contemporary North American society), the executioner was shunned. Some were buried in separate graveyards from the rest of society, while others, like in Japan, were paid handsomely but largely set apart from active social life. It has never been a glorified position. Wikipedia posted:The executioner was usually presented with a warrant authorizing or ordering him to execute the sentence. The warrant protects the executioner from the charge of murder. Common terms for executioners derived from forms of capital punishment—though they often also performed other physical punishments—include hangman (hanging) and headsman (beheading). In the military, the role of executioner was performed by a soldier, such as the provost. A common stereotype of an executioner is a hooded medieval or absolutist executioner. The last official executioner of France was a man named Marcel Chevalier. quote:Marcel Chevalier (28 February 1921, Montrouge, Hauts-de-Seine – 8 October 2008, Vendôme) worked as the last chief executioner (Monsieur de Paris) in France. He succeeded André Obrecht in 1976 and held his position until 1981, when capital punishment was abolished under president François Mitterrand and justice minister Robert Badinter. The method of application of the death penalty for civil capital offences in France 1791–1981 was beheading with the guillotine. Military executions were by firing squad. And finally, here is actual footage from the last public execution by guillotine for those of you with stiffer stomachs. Warning: very NWS, very NMS, actual execution and actual death. You have been warned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaVe65LWDCI More to Come. BottledBodhisvata fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Oct 24, 2014 |

Off to a great start. Demon's Souls is a stellar game that I am terrible at. I'm looking forward to seeing a more skilled player than I am waltz through all the parts that killed me over and over. Let's boost those strength and magic stats next. The least dangerous enemy is a dead one. Let's get stronger physically and mentally so we can take down bad guys before they get a chance to try to put the hurt on us, whether by smashing their faces in or impaling/roasting/whatever-ing them with magic spells.

Sir Geoffrey, what are you doing? You don't need trinkets on your fingers (right now). Take off those rings! You may have low health, but if you just upgrade your strength, you can kill everything before that even matters! Truly I have devised the best possible plan. And if we can also vote on where to go, I say you should go to the shrine of storms and give the enemies there a bit of the ol' razzle dazzle (bareknuckles). If not now, at some point, eventually.

Irregular update schedules for now, but I'm gonna try to update as often as possible while I still have plentiful free time.

I'm gonna go on record here to say that I love the Valley of Defilement even if everyone else hates it but for now I suggest you go to the Towers of Latria aka The Dark Prison because that's the other set of favorite areas I have in the game. No particular reason other than because it seems to be a decent choice as an area to take on now.

A brief update. First thanks for all the feedback thus far, and do keep voting! Voting period will close Wednesday evening! I'll record the episode then and have the next one up by Thursday. Secondly, let's talk armor...or a lack thereof. Peasant Clothes So we picked up the Ragged set in the previous video. Now, actually, we haven't gotten the complete set yet, and there'll be a different armor update for it when we finish it proper. However, at the moment the only meaning this armor set has for us is that it is crap, rotted and full of insects. Demon Souls Item Description for Ragged Robes posted:Robe made of layers of ragged fabric. It's covered with tears, unsightly open seams, and numerous unsightly insects wriggling within it.

The tunic was confined at the waist by a belt, to which the knife, the purse, and sometimes the working tools were suspended. Now, Sumptuary laws... Wikipedia posted:Sumptuary laws are laws that attempt to regulate permitted consumption. Black's Law Dictionary defines them as "Laws made for the purpose of restraining luxury or extravagance, particularly against inordinate expenditures in the matter of apparel, food, furniture, etc."[1] Traditionally, they were laws that regulated and reinforced social hierarchies and morals through restrictions, often depending upon a person's social rank, on permitted clothing, food, and luxury expenditures. In Elizabethan England Sumptuary Laws were enacted to curtail against excesses, extravagance, and to the purpose of the aforementioned identification of class. One needs to know at a glance who the nobility is and who the nobility is not. In practice, though, these were laws that were impossible to enforce and rarely were. You could report a neighbor for violating some statute and perhaps they would be fined, but in general these laws were simply there to be there. It's a bit different from the far more harshly enforced laws of dress in Muslim countries, for instance, although the concept is largely the same. Statutes of Apparel Greenwich, 15 June 1574, 16 Elizabeth I posted:The excess of apparel and the superfluity of unnecessary foreign wares thereto belonging now of late years is grown by sufferance to such an extremity that the manifest decay of the whole realm generally is like to follow (by bringing into the realm such superfluities of silks, cloths of gold, silver, and other most vain devices of so great cost for the quantity thereof as of necessity the moneys and treasure of the realm is and must be yearly conveyed out of the same to answer the said excess) but also particularly the wasting and undoing of a great number of young gentlemen, otherwise serviceable, and others seeking by show of apparel to be esteemed as gentlemen, who, allured by the vain show of those things, do not only consume themselves, their goods, and lands which their parents left unto them, but also run into such debts and shifts as they cannot live out of danger of laws without attempting unlawful acts, whereby they are not any ways serviceable to their country as otherwise they might be: I still remember getting detentions in Catholic school for having my shirt untucked or being out of uniform...guess some things never change.

Alright so, I'm just gonna say, this is pretty pro-click. Episode 5: Sir Geoffrey Punches Skeletons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYP7EnluY7o Weapons used: No Weapons. Special parameters: No Rings Main objective: No Mercy. Weapons collected: Falchion Compound Long Bow Kilij Uchigatana Crescent Falchion Accessories collected: Graberobber's Ring Regeneration Ring The next update will be a boss battle. Please vote on what weapon we should take to the boss.. Unless the support is overwhelming, we will NOT be using our bare hands, so consult the list up to this point to figure out which flavor of death I'll be serving to the upcoming big nasty. Also, it is safe to vote on the next area we have available to us and what weaponry Geoffrey will use for it. The list is in the OP.

That Crescent Falchion +1 Geoff picked up is pretty neato, and derives a bonus from his Magic stat. After taking down this fool with the Bastard Sword, he should switch to it for a while (if we're planning on sticking with the current plan of raising Magic, that is).

Having watched the Giant Bomb LP of Demon's Souls where they did exactly that, I vote for not doing that. Using it gives you zero reason to upgrade your STR or DEX, so you end up dumping so many points into magic that other weapons aren't anywhere near as good and it costs too much to start upgrading the other stats if you ever want to use something else.

We have spells we could buy but no means of casting them.

On account of the game being balanced around you being able to do the worlds in any order, you don't need anywhere near maximum damage with a weapon to do well with it. I don't care about the gear other than using the Kilij because it is the killage. Also I vote for world 5.

Geoffrey, didn't Boldwin say something about another blacksmith in Stonefang? Maybe you should go see what he can offer you. Take one of those fancy curved swords along with you; let those fools see what you're capable of.Genocyber posted:that's not really true. On account of the game being balanced around you being able to do the worlds in any order, you don't need anywhere near maximum damage with a weapon to do well with it. Chances are high that I am misinformed because Brad was really bad at the game and everyone who gave input was really bad at building characters, which resulted in him falling on it as a crutch for the entire game and refusing to try anything else.

Go for Stonefang. There's a Crushing Battle Axe +1 there right at the beginning. Use that. Going there will also allow you to change your upgrade path of the weapons so you can stick with Quality weapons as long as it's reasonable (assuming that's the build type you're sticking with) While I'd normally recommend a thrusting weapon for that area the fact that the axe is upgraded a bit already kinda balances that out.

Seriously though, that was about 12 minutes more Gardenia than was necessary.Rigged Death Trap posted:Let's let Geoffrey do what he wants this time. Geoffrey, you will do no such thing. Pick up a bow, go back to the Boletarian Palace, find a good place to shoot from and kill that dragon! Or drake, whatever.

It's Dark Souls that went all "dragons are extinct but we really like big flying lizards, so let's call them not-dragons. Or drakes, drakes will work." And 1-2 is usually the area I go to first because it's still pretty easy even when compared to the first tier areas. Not a big fan of Stonefang Tunnels myself, but I like all the other areas. Towers of Latria being my favorite, so I vote we go there next.

I'd originally had commentary over that portion to explain in some detail stuff I'd missed or hadn't noticed (for instance, that wall you can hop over to get a vantage point on those dreglings by the stables, I hadn't noticed that, the Dregling merchant, and how you can kill the dragon with a bow). Technical difficulties cost me that commentary and some footage too. Fear not, the next update will be all Geoffrey, all the time--and the next Gardenia update will be a lot more interesting.
