Who's the Main Antagonist of Each Game?

[gackie]

I had a hard one picking these. Miyazaki has a strange habit of now making the final boss the main bad guy, something which alot of other devs can't say.

For Dark Souls 1 I'd either have to say Manus or Seath, both are pretty damn evil. Manus is consuming everything with abyss, and his influences are seen even after he dies, probably because he started some kind of plague, I don't know. Seath mutates creatures to disgusting levels and he was the one who brought down the dragons, after he discovered that their scales make them immortal.

For Dark Souls 2 I really had a hard time thinking about the most "evil" boss, alot, and I mean most, of the main bosses have motives, I'd have to go with Nashandra I guess, she offs the king and tries to take the throne for herself, which really is a big no-no. Aldia was thought of be he does have quite a few motives. Also Vendrick, but he isn't exactly evil when you fight him.

There's no question for Dark Souls 3, it's obviously Aldrich. He's a giant abyssal snake who's the leader of a cult that sends everyone to be eaten by him. The cathedral of the deep housed a place where people were born for the soul purpose of being eaten by him. He's even eaten Gwyndolin and maybe Prescilla, or Prescilla's offspring. In all of this, he also seems to be a big coward. He hides him self in the most secluded part of Lothric and waits your arrival, to only then stay far away from you instead of facing you head on. What a ♥♥♥♥♥.

Pontiff Sulyvanh would be one of the main villains.

He traps Gwyndolin, tricks Aldrich by locking Yorshka away so he cannot get any more powerful, lies to Yorshka about her brother, murders and hides Aldrich's faithful so he will not help Aldrich and sits there being the one in control of Boreal Valley as Aldrich and Gwyndolin struggle about who will have control of the body.

So you have played all 3 games and still think there is "bad" and "good" ???

Are we even playing the same games?

[BlazeRomulus]

There's isn't really a bad guy, since there's this curse that makes everyone go ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane.

But in Dark Souls 1, it's revealed that Manus is the cause of the abyss, so there's that to consider.

In Dark Souls 2, you actually have a quest to cure your hollowing, which you finally find when you merge the crowns together.

In Dark Souls 3, i don't know, we have to wait for the DLC to tell us more about the world, right now there's no bad guy in the world, everyone just wants to survive...

Technically, yeah, but it comes into perspective and reason. A lot of characters act like "tyrants" but their cause is good, some others act noble and friendly even if their goal is the illusion of good and there are others that just want to murder and murder for personal power and/or satisfaction.

The usurp ending has you taking control of both light and dark. Don't be fooled by the fact that they bow before you at the end. They don't know your motives, only the player does.

The usurp ending is the true aspect of maintaining balance under the assumption that the ashen one is taking BOTH CURSES upon himself in self sacrifice. Now over time sure the power will probably corrupt him/her. This only means another will rise eventually to either bring back the light, plunge everything into darkness, or do as the previous and harness both in duality.

The usurp ending is truly yin/yang together. Not choosing a side.

The games flat out tell you that without dark there is no light, vice versa. You've seen tons corrupted by the fires power, you've seen ton corrupted by the dark soul. They deliberately avoid using light vs dark and instead repeat flame/dark soul. They don't want players seeing it as good vs evil, because it never truly is.
