It's not that the lore's obscure it's that it's meaningless. They could say literally anything it has no substance or weight or purpose. Proper lore affects your experience IE knowing faction relations so you know how to conduct yourself around them.
you're genuinely too dumb to play these games, their lore is better than most modern games but you're complaining about factions
not that you've actually played it

I can't tell if you are pretending to false flag Souls fans as mentally retarded or you are genuinely this lost.
all Soulsborne games from here on out should actually give you a reason to care about the main bosses like Elden Ring does. haven't played Sekiro but as far as I know it did it too, being more story focused.

From set up the tarnished NPCs you meet in the game as being very important, famous people.
Horah Loux was supposedly designed originally as a mentor for the player character, appearing throughout the game until his eventual reveal to be Godwyn himself and fight you for the right to be Elden Lord once more. The big reveal I guess is that Godwyn's lore drums him up as supreme champion of Marika while Horah Loux is some sort of barbarian savage. Then you find out he's always been a savage and Marika grafted a lion to him to make him behave.
In short, he was another attempt at Oscar. Like the slime boss from software keeps attempts to get a very beloved idea in each souls game but ends up dropping it entirely. They failed to make Oscar your rival to justify himself as the "final boss" after Gwyn. You could argue they sort of did it with Patches in DaS III but I don't think that was the same circumstance.
Really, the first time From ever succeeded with this concept was Iguazu in AC6.
>Like the slime boss from software keeps attempts to get a very beloved idea in each souls game but ends up dropping it entirely.
huh? Like Aldrich in 3 or something?
Ever since Demon's Souls From has attempted to do a classic "slime boss". No one is quite sure what the game play surrounding this fight would be, they just know that From gives up on it.
Aldrich was likely the most effort they put into it and they still failed to get down the concept, hence why he became a slime naga merged with Gwyndolin.
Originally he was supposed to leak out of his coffin in the Cathedral as a second phase of the Deacons.
Oh, you mean like this kind of slime? I guess that could be kind of neat. Seems like it'd work like Phalanx in that the more you damage it the more it splits apart.
Yeah a slime like that. They've had slime enemies since DeS. I think the concept behind the fight may be a bit more complex than something would use a single model like that though which is probably why they fail to get it to work.
I just thought he was cool. My favorite bossfight. I don't really care who he is, he says he's a warrior and that's all I need to know
also >filename
kek
>as a lord he fights with big axe >as a barbarian he fights with judo moves
Shouldn't it be the other way around? Why would barbarian use or know martial arts?
It's more like free-for-all wrestling than judo, which is fairly fitting for a "badlands barbarian" (steppe bros IRL often have wrestling traditions, at least Mongols do)
who cares, it's a cool wrestler dude. My first souls was ds2 and I had no idea wtf was going on from beginning to end, and I liked it better that way. Lorefags are insufferable, read a book if you want a good story
>Dark Souls
Making and voicing new NPCs and cutscenes is hard, and we don't have that much budget to go on. Let's just add some worldbuilding tidbits to the flavor text and call it a day
>Elden Ring
If you collect all of the bone swords and arrange their descriptions in the right order, you can kind of get an understanding of what the Erdtree is. But to really get to the bottom of what happened between the Tarnished and the Greater Will, you have to collect Zanzibart's Jockstrap in the Nutty Putty Dungeon in Caelid and cross-reference it with a chunk of bear meat, a connection which data mining tells us that the developers made at the 11th hour as they rearranged all of the boss fights for time constraint purposes
>care about story game slop >looking at items and completing side quests is a burden because…ITS JUST IS
just admit you like AAA assassin creed stories and move on in your life, it will easier
the whole point of telling the "story" solely through item descriptions is for illiterate redditors who interact through storytelling through video essays
Cause they never really gave a shit, it’s for ultra nerds and always has been. They make a video game first and foremost with the enjoyment of the user in mind and not about blowing your fucking nuts off with an insane cut scene and dramatic twist that your ally was actually a bad guy the entire time but you just couldn’t put it together.
KEK, didn't know western game devs were on Ganker at this time of the day.
Hey homosexuals can you guess why Elden Ring won the GOTY and your shitpile indie fag game didn't?
>imagine caring about any souls game "lore"
I'm playing Sekiro, having fun murdering rice farmers and I have no clue what's going on because I skip every dialog
The only problem with this guy is that his voice actor sucks ass, the worst in the game by far and as far as I know, worse than any other From game besides the Sekiro dub.
Zanzibart's son
Nepheli Loux's husband
thats me actually
this shit was corny
the only reason sõyboys clapped about it is because it was fromslop
Holy fuck I never get tired of laughing at the low IQ retards who get filtered by minimalist storytelling

sad but funny

I love being a Fromscholar.

Fucking embarrassing
Holy fucking shit I hate you slop-eating Frombastards so fucking much it's actually fucking unreal

ok
I can't tell if you are pretending to false flag Souls fans as mentally retarded or you are genuinely this lost.

Yup.
You are trying too hard. You will never be a woman and ER is a game of the year

He's the chieftain of the badlands.
They tell you like 100 hours before this, once, during the intro.
Quality from storytelling where everything falls flat.

gwyn but if he jojo
He's one of the guys
But like, the first guy
He also got to touch Marika's grace

What part of Godfrey is confusing?
He literally shows up at the end of the game with almost no context.
He literally explains who he is and what he wants in the literal fucking cutscene before the battle
>Dumping a random guy as an endgame boss fight on you is fine because...uh...they alluded to him earlier slightly
He’s literally the first Elden lord who many characters talk about
Who
Play the game, you won't look like such a retard next time
Cares
I accept your concession, Shazamtranny.
Right after that you fight a tranny thor statue and a shitty long nech monster made of holy puddle Mitsubishi and trannymura smokes too much weed
So the muscle retard from Yakuza 5?
that's just world of warcraft, bro
No? Say what you will about WoW but it is VERY concise with its story, to a fault.
Why does Fromshit try so hard to be pic related but fail every time?
Zanzibart CQC trainer alsp fucked that sexy statue in both forms redhead and blonde
>game calls you Warrior
>my autistic ass makes it so that i am now unable to choose any class besides Warrior

Really, the first time From ever succeeded with this concept was Iguazu in AC6.
I didnt remember that clown until ng+++ anf shitposts here
That's because you're fat

Your Discord master will be disappointed with this low-effort trolling.
