Dark Souls II

[Pete for President]

So far I have one gripe and that is the return of the (SPOILER)Crystal Lizards. By the lords I find that one annoying game mechanic in all Souls games. At least the could've made them easier to hit but I tried slaying the same lizard twice and failed even with a vertical swinging weapon. But hey, I'm nitpicking now!

I kinda have to agree on that one. Well, I didn't mind it much until just a few hours ago actually.

Basically, this is what happened: (SPOILER)There was one on a bridge. I managed to kill it. The loot fell right through the bridge. There was ground below, and I just barely survived the jump... and right before I could pick up the loot, I was attacked by a foe I hadn't seen from the bridge and I died, losing out on the lizard's loot forever. =(

Oh man that's exactly why they don't work.

Some more progress: (SPOILER)Beat Pursuer solo after helping out others for a while. Well.. helping out isn't exactly what happened. I've accidentally slain more allies with the ballistas than I'd like to admit but it was super funny nonetheless. For the solo fight magic ooze worked wonders. Found a Titanite Slab. Met the emberless blacksmith and pirate lady in the Bastille, as well as the Cartographer. Ventured on to No Man's Wharf where I was slain.
