Dark Souls Lore Hunting Community!
I have a proposal for you all. Recently, I’ve been putting a
lot of work into a Dark Souls Analysis thread where I am searching high and low
for the answers we’re all looking for in the Dark Souls Story. The way I do it…
I pick a topic/character, I gather up every dialogue, item description, art
book picture, any time they are even mentioned or any information I can about
the topic/character. Looking at all of the data in front of me I then attempt
to explain a characters motives, backstory, etc… by using the language and
meaning of words in these item descriptions, dialogue, etc… Now this does cause
me to end up saying some outlandish things, however; there is normally a
description I missed or… a dialogue I’m reading wrong or… a known fact that
could completely disprove my analysis…
I normally go poking through all the threads and seeing
people asking the same questions I’m thinking or am discussing at the time. I
would like to start creating a thread series (just having a “Dark Souls
Analysis” is t0o broad with too much information) dedicated to finding these
answers… Now I know many of you have been here for almost a full year and have
posted so many threads you’re probably sick of the speculation and over discussion
of widely known things… For these analysis threads I’d like for each of you to
dig back into the forums where you have proved these things, link them in these
threads so we can keep them at the top for easy reference! There are so many
stories and side stories in this game we could have several threads and some
threads that even link together. I.E. Gywn Analysis would link to the Lord Soul
Analysis….
I think by combining all of this data in such close areas we
are more likely to find out if the questions we are asking can even be answered….
Any thoughts on this? Or possibly a better way of executing
this? What do you guys think!?
