Drangleic or Lordran?

[I'm not your Mary]

This is a funsies thread. (I havent played any of the DLCs yet)
A little of Drangleic (DS2) and Lordran (DS1)

Simple,
Which is your favorite locale in Lordran AND in Drangleic, then
Did you like Lordran or Drangleic more and why?

For me , my favorite locale in DarkSouls 1 is "Anor Londo"
I just didn't expect that a gargoyle would take me to such a "radiant" (but hellish place, archers and mario-style platforming I'm talking to you). I always longed to have more of Anor Londo, like going down to the streets or something like that would've been AMAZING.

In DarkSouls 2 , It's "Drangleic Castle"
It had that sense of "labyrinth style" complexity that a lot of levels in DarkSouls 1 had but so many levels in DarkSouls 2 lacked. I remember going like "Where the hell am I , what king makes his castle so complicated". I'd wish Aldia's Keep would've been a little bit more like Drangleic Castle.

In the end , I like Lordran A LOT more. I'll always enjoy the shortcuts and how "Real" the world feels because it's an "actual world" with all areas making sense in their connection (No zones of nothingness like in DarkSouls 2 ) (Though it doesn't make sense how everything is so compact, considering how big Lordran actually is ... given in the cinematic, its Luck the Raven had a next in the ideal spot of Lodran where everything was accessible to you)

The Duke's Archives! It was just amazing there! How you get traped, then you see how massive that starcase is, alll those bookshelfs in unreachable places....I love that :D it just looked epic. Then squids....the music...eerie.

In scholar...really torn between Aldia Keep (man I love mansions like that and that little torch dragon puzzle? Awesome + Navlaan double awesome.
AND! Brightstone! I DIG THAT! I just do. sandy houses filled with spiders? my jazz

Overall...I dont really liked DK2 at all. But after reading trough lot of theories and stuff (even dont see that elevator from mill...to Iron keep as a problem anymore) and now playing Scholar...♥♥♥♥ I have so much fun you guys :D I played Dark Souls 1 again just before getting Scholar....and I have to say in the end....I may say I like Dark Souls 2 a bit more actually.

B team...you alright! :D

But they are still both just awesome games! They are just different.

Best level design yet in a From Software game.

Trick Question, they are both the same place.

I'd crash the Undead Parish/burg onto Majula and call it a day

There I fixed it for you.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, dude. You need to settle down. If money really is an issue, you could always rent a PS4 from Rent A Center and get the game from Gamefly. Wouldn't cost more than 30-40 bucks.

My statement stands. After playing Demon's Souls, Dark Souls 1 and 2, Bloodborne's level design wins out hands down.

Lmao in our country there is no such things as Rent A Center...Too many thiefs here :D :D

But I saw it. It looks nice. It will be great! But I can just not play it for time being. Im cool with that.
Scholar is awesome!

In a few years. Or when Valve merges with SCE :D ! IT gonna happen people trust me! :D praise it!

DS 1 - Ash Lake for just looking at it and listening to the music.Ariamis for the level/enemy/boss design.

DS 2 - Frozen Eleum Loyce.Best area in Souls games for me.I love snow so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ much and it is the closest area to DS 1 design.

Lordran ofc.Drangleic is like an arcade version of the game for multiplayer because you can respec, finding people is faster, more viable builds etc.But Lordran is for the true Souls experience.Nothing will beat that atmosphere and lore.

P.S. Firelink Shrine and Majula are still the best areas where you can chill.But Majula gives you a better feeling of a sanctuary because NPCs do not leave and it is cozy.I wish you could make a community in Firelink.Half of them die or go away...

Firelink Shrine is like a Greek Tragedy in that sense,
There is treason, drama, hope, hopelessness ... so many elements.

Majula is a little boring in that sense, nothing happens in Majula except a guy saying "IM RICH, IM RICH" and sells useless garbage.

I agree I agree, but Dragon Age Origins imprinted that feeling of cozyness when you hang out with everyone in the camp around the fire.

Weird thing about Souls is that I can't imagine human interaction.I can't imagine two NPCs talking to each other.Or any other figures from the lore.I can't imagine how was life before the curse.

Yeah... I couldn't imagine that... well only in Lordran, but maybe because its all a BIG CITY
But Drangleic really doesn't seem like a place suited for life, there is also no "main town" , I mean, there's a castle but where did the people live?

I think the Souls game played "desolation and hopelessness" way too good in their settings for us to imagine a "vivid lordran".

There's a video , here, that can help you imagine life in Lordran in a vivid way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9x_koRZ2bA
