If you wanna make some, feel free. Or do you mean the cover? I found that at random in Google search.
it won't let me like it
why
Oh-ho, you sneaky little cat, you. This took me completely by surprise. I gotta say, I like the way you're writing this. Going out and trying new things, eh? I can't say I'm familiar with Dark Souls, but if the quality in this is anything like Overlady and there's gratuitous action/violence then I am sure this will be very enjoyable. Take my like... and fave, just because.
I also notice there's no sex tag.
...
I'm a little relieved...
6337849
Maybe you liked it allready? Dun be sad pwease.
6338636
Yeah, since my birthday I am binging on Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the first Sin. Then someone once brought up how it could be once the Choosen Undead (Hero of Dark Souls 1) or the Bearer of the Curse (Hero of Dark Souls 2) would end up in Equestria and I thought, like, hell why not and here we go now. Nice to know that I still can surprise people.
Yes, I wanted to go and try somethng new. I mean, first perspektive is nice and dandy but also it can be challenging.
Oooh, I hope I can live up to the expectations, I´ll give my very best.*gets all pumped up* Dark Souls in generall is all dark, gloomy, sad and grim. It takes your hopes and dreams, rips them to shreds and burns the shreds with an Ancient Dragons firebreath. Lotsa (more or less) undead and/or twisted monstrosities and hollowed (-> zombificated) people trying to rip you to pieces to devour your souls (yes, plural), so ya, there will be violence. Lots of it. The Souls series is famous for it´s (most of the time) epic bosses.
Also, yes, no Sex tag this time because, well, Undead.
Here´s a wiki link if you are interessted and want to look up some things. http://darksouls.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Souls_II
6338780 Ah, I take it you're a fan of grimdark fics?
6338885
What? Hell no! Normaly I stay as far away from them as possible. XD I ususaly prefer my stories light, with a side of silly and/or smutty.
The only exception from that rule are Warhammer 40k fics because of the sheer epicness.
The Souls Verse has this unique flair to it, a mix of lost hope, growing despair, grimness/darkness and the constant threat to loose who you are while dangling a faint trace of salvation just in front of ones nose, only to pull it out of reach everytime one tries to grasp it. To capture this flair and mix it with my own style, it´s a challenge I made to myself.
6338941 Well, best of luck. Yeah, I can see how it would be a challenge to write if grimdarks are not you cup of tea. I'll be interested to see how you adapt and incorporate these elements in your story.
6338759 it show's that i did now *sighs* but it didn't turn green when i clicked it at first
is she wearing equipment from the game or is it your own armor?
oh and have this its boring out there
6343184
She is wearing the gear my main char in DS 2 is wearing. A virtual cookie for you if you can name it all. ;)
Oh yes, that song every Souls player knows by heart.^^
6343229 Royal Soldier set with Blue Knights or Syans Halberd andcant figure the shield out.
6360059
You are spot on with Syans Halberd. The helmet is the Faraam helmet, the rest consists of the Loyce Armor, Loyce Gauntlets and Loyce Leggins. The shield is the Watchdragon Parma. Also, there is the Archdrake Chime and the Sun Sword.
Still, have a virtual cookie for trying.
so i was wondering is the protagonist mute from birth or has the trauma gotten to them? If its neither of those did they get the throat slashed?
6365960
I am a follower of the cannon that the Souls Protagonists suffer from the "Mute/Silent Hero Syndrome". So, yes, you could say the protagonist is mute.
Hmmm... Impressively vocal for a mute. Then again, the protagonist has to be due to proper armor safety. Because fuck getting knocked out easily, never mind a sword through the head.
6713497
Remember kids, be on the safe side and always wear your helmet on the battlefield.^^
I like this. I hope you keep continuing this. Good job!
6745084
Thank you very much.^^ I work on updating all my stories at least once before the year ends and maybe after that, I will manage to get some semblance of a upload routine.
6745099
I hope you good luck on that. Just make sure you don't over exert yourself on this stuff:)
Keep em coming!
7226109
Will do.^^
Y' be doin' good, my friend. Keep 'em a rollin'.
Yay for her heroic deed for the day!
7227878
Now that I finaly conquered my writing mountain, that is my intend.^^
7228089
>>That better get me a good reward, a solid hint what is going on here or at least some more souls or else!<<
Woohooo! Another brilliant chapter.
Keep the good work up, hope to see more soon.
7231661
*bows* Thank you kindly. I´m glad you enjoy this fic so far. Will do, after all, this is only book one of my planned trilogy.^^
7231689
By Tzeentch!
A trilogy you say.
This is going to be a great time.
7231730
I certainly hope so.
Also, the horned Rat clearly is superior to the Canary God. ;3P
7231881
Aaaaah. It has been so long since I've talked to a representative of the Skavens. Tell me which clan do you hail from, Clan Pestilens, Clan Eshin or perhaps Clan Skryre?
7231945
None of these fool-idiots. No, I lead the great Warrior Clan Nars, from the rightful place in the last row, deeep inside the shadows, yes-yes.
7231952
Hahahaha! A warrior you say?
Aaaah it has been so long since I've had a good fight. Come let us fight to see if you truly live up to the title of warrior! Prove yourself a worthy opponent and I shall wear your hide as my trophy.
What do you say?
Edit: Don't take me serious. It's better for your head.
Rarity, you horn dog!
Great story so far. Keep it up!
7231984
Don´t worry about my noogin´ it went out of order a long time ago.^^
7248002
Hehe, ya, it is so much fun to mess Rares.
Thanks, will do.^^
7248115
Phew... Thats good to hear.
I always enjoy Dark Souls crossovers, although there really seem to be none that actually last past a few thousand words for some reason. I just wish there were more that cross over specifically with Dark Souls 1. I think it's the better game and setting in every sense.
7513655
Hmm, to my immense shame (no, not really), I have to admit that I never played DS 1 but outright started with DS 2. Personally, I was able to enjoy both 2 and 3 very much, once I came up with a surefire way to deal with asshole invaders.^^ And with that, I mean running off cliffs, flipping them the bird in my head.
If you look for good crossovers with Dark Souls 1, have you read "Friendship is Scaleless" yet? It´s mui bueno.^^b
7513820
Personally, I prefer it a whole lot more. DS 2 was a big disappointment to me, so much that I haven't even tried out Dark Souls 3 yet. One thing I really liked a lot more about DS1 is that the balancing was so much better. Compared to DS2, you could often walk in on a boss and actually have a fair chance of winning the first time through, not because they were easier, but because knowing the controls and having fast reflexes mattered a lot more than memorizing patterns did, the way it does in DS2. DS2 seems to flip-flop between "ridiculously easy" like the Last Giant and "absurdly hard" way more. There's so much crap you can't even block even if you react fast enough to it. Like, those three guys in the Bastille. I had no internet connection at the time and it was just completely ridiculous. That boss clearly wasn't meant to be ever taken on alone. The humanoid enemies were all kind of like that, in my opinion.
Plus, the game world is just more fun. You know how in DS2, everything is kind of flat and you have to pass through every area before getting to the next? Well, imagine that crumpled up into a ball, basically. DS1 is all vertical, you can go up, down, left, right and every area has at least three different ways to get into it. It makes it all much more fun to explore. I'm sure there are still areas I haven't seen yet, and I've played that game to death.
7513820
I've read a good part of it, but, I don't know, I find it hard to really enjoy the characters. I stopped around chapter 16 because of that. Everyone is just so absurdly accepting, you know what I mean? Seath is a monster, in-setting and out of it. He outright admits to all the horrible things he has done to thousands of people over the years, but everyone just seems to go "oh well, you didn't do it to anyone we know, so we don't really care." It makes the characters feel kind of like caricatures - or like the author couldn't think of a realistic way to make them actually react to that and still accept keeping the character around.
7513848
Hmm, then you should propably stay clear of The nameless King in DS 3, should you ever play it. Compared to him, the Watchers are a absolute cakewalk. Also, with a blunt weapon you could crumb these slender fuckers pretty good.
Ya, that the characters seemed almost caricaturized is what makes the story for me.^^ If the author would have been true to the Souls theme, everything would have soon dissolved just into another stomach turning butchery with Pony-turned-Pisacas, Seath effortlessly anihilating anthing the Celestial Sisters throw at him, more new magical-experimental atrocities, a lot of the Mane Six turning Hollow in no time and whatnot.
But eh, to each his or her own flask o´ estus hn? \[T]/
7514201
It wasn't really the damage output to begin with so much as the "three on one in a confined space with no one to help you" thing. The Four Kings in DS1 are a similar setup, but you just have so much more space to maneuver. I ended up soloing both games, so it's not really the difficulty that's the problem. The Lord of Cinder fight at the end of DS1 is hard as balls if you don't go at it with the right strategy, but the thing is that you can even go at it with a strategy. With the Watchers, you either have someone along to help you divide up their attention or you don't. DS2 was mostly a cakewalk to me interspersed with the occasional section where it didn't actually matter how good you are at the game, just whether you are solving the fight in the way the developers intended for you to solve it. In a game like Dark Souls, that is supposedly all about fair challenge and such, that just made me feel kind of cheated. DS1 never has that kind of feeling to it, it's part of why I just like it better.
I'm fine with it so long as it doesn't feel like a writing crutch. All the sections that involve mostly the Chosen Undead are honestly really good, I think. It's just the parts with the ponies that sound to me like the writer didn't think his idea through and then decided to run with it, instead of actually making them behave realistically.
Yes, I know, realistic is a silly thing to say about magical ponies, but if you read it as "they don't behave in ways I could see an actual person behaving" I think you'll see what I'm getting at.
7514260
Sorry, sorry. Could not help myself but since when is any Souls game about a "fair challenge"? I mean, even if you have a high level and wear the best armor, even then can a measly naked Hollow with a dagger end you in a one-shot backstab. Or when enemies jump you from all directions, staggering you to death? Massive mobs charging you in the dozens? These motherhugging Silver Knights keep shooting you down from narrow walkways with their Dragonslayer Bows? 
Pfahahaha!
For me, Dark Souls is about fighting as dirty and underhanded as you can to see the next day. But then again, that just might be me, being corrupted by the (mostly) toxic Souls community.
Hmhm, ya, I think I get what you mean. Then again, I remember that MANY users round here just love to poit out that Ponies as a race are soft hearted and forgiving to a fault, so that might be the way Limescale decided to go with the story.
7515708
Well, I did say "fair." I didn't say "nice." Hollows can do that kind of thing, but to be able to do that, you need to have screwed up in the first place and let them surround you. I've gone through entire areas without getting a scratch because there aren't really any cheap shots - no ambushes you can't see up-front, no insta-kills that will always get you the first time around, no enemies that spawn behind you and the two or three kinds of enemy that can counter you or have unblockable attacks telegraph it massively. It's fair in the sense that everything can easily kill you, but if you pay attention, you have the ability to avoid nearly all of it. At the same time, there's only a handful of enemies that you can't kill in one or two hits, either.
That's part of what made it so popular with the self-declared "hardcore" crowd, I think. It's genuinely a skill-based game. You can actually become good at it and it will be rewarded, instead of forcing you to more or less just go in blind and hope for the best. You don't really get that a lot. Most games get their difficulty from floaty control or AI that plain can't miss or has access to information and abilities that you don't, that kind of thing.
I don't think there's any area in DS1 that doesn't let you pull mobs at your own pace. I was really annoyed by that one section in the Bastille for that reason, because yeah, that isn't fair. Which was kind of the whole problem.
7515720
Hmm, fair points you have there. Maybe just my bad luck and bad expierences talking. Seriously, sometimes I can make Oscar the Fateless look like Fortunas favourite.^^
Great story so far. Looking forward to more^^
8269697
Glad you enjoyed it so far.^^ More is on its way.
8269935
I certainly hope so. I want to see Raritys reaction when The Knight takes his helm off and show he is a she^^
I only played the first Dark souls, and even there I didn't even get to the first boss. IT'S SO DAMN HARD TO PLAY!
P.s. I totally like your name^^
8269944
Hehehe, oh ya, that´s gonna be gud. >:3
I admit, I started the Souls franchise with Dark Souls 2, mainly because Dark Souls 1 is the hardest of the trilogy. Don´t get me wrong, Dark Souls 3 has it´s moments too, especialy until you got used to the fact that even the basic undead enemies move like Sonic on Speed while you move like your body is made of lead even if you are just in your undies.^^°
Also, thank you kindley.
