Covenants in DkSII?

Haven't seen a lot of talk about them on here, not even a dedicated thread for it. There hasn't been much talk about them aside from them saying they'll be more accessible.

So what do you want to see make a return? What DON'T you want to see come back? What new ideas do you have for them? DISCUSS.

That moment when you're in control

I really want another Dragon Covenant. I love being a miniature dragon, running around and mauling people with my bare claws. Wouldn't mind some people commenting on it though, as it is. Or getting a better looking dragon head. Drinking Estus through your throat is kinda weird.

The Online aspect of that Covenant is kinda lame as well- you very very rarely ever fight another Dragon for scales. And I utter hate Drake farming. Ugh. Maybe they should have it that you can Invade people with scales or those who have killed Dragons to avenge your masters. When I'm being a Dragonbro I always leave Kalameet and Gaping alone.

So I wouldn't mind another Dragon Covenant, as long as they fix the online aspect. Also maybe have it so Dragons in DS2 leave you alone if you're a Dragon Bro? I was upset when Kalameet attacked me when I was a little miniature dragon.

Oh and I would love something like the Forest Hunters again- I joined that with one of my new characters and I love it even though I get killed more often than not. Also, you can avoid the Forest area where they spawn, so if you hate getting mobbed by Hunters, you just go the back route to kill Sif. Also more ninja-flip rings.

I want more shapeshifting in covenants. I was pretty disappointed when the Litch Form rumors about the gravelord covenant proved false.

Agreed. I always report Invaders with Oswald's form thingies. Backstab me while I'm level 10 and getting mauled by the Bridge Rats will you?? I hope they get their come-upperance.

Also- do they win stuff if you commit suicide while invaded? I did that a few times when I'm at lame levels and I get invaded by people as Black knights and whatnot.

I love the concept that you can't get away with anything in this game, even in the PvP section. I think it adds a good dimension to the game.

As long as they appear in your world when you die they get their rewards all the same as they would by killing you.

Well rats. Oh well, I won't give them the satisfaction of killing me.

Unless they bow first. I've done that to a few people I've invaded and had a few invaders do that to me. I like polite invaders.

YES. I want this. Damn, I would love being a Lich.

I love Path of Dragon due to the shapeshifting aspect. I mean, you can get clothes, like the Darkwraith in certain Covenants, and the golden glow of Sunbros, Egghead for Chaos, I would like more obvious signs and more total transformations like the Dragon stones. Also being able to customizie your transformations. Hnngh.

I want to be a mini-Dragon again in Dark Souls 2. You look so badass beating up things as a mini-Dragon.

That gif is awesome.


I'd like to see at least another transformation. Or maybe your appearance be effected by covenants.

A werewolf form would be pretty cool but it doesn't really fit to my knowledge.

So what about some more in depth covenant exclusive magics?
