Ok so it's an enthusiast website. That explains why the user figures are higher than the PSN reported ones. No idea if the PS numbers are bunk but they produce a result that's inline with the stats from steam, at least for any of the titles that aren't BB. BB is an outlier but that flies in the face of DS3, Sekiro, and ER, which should be reporting downward trends as well, per the premise of the argument, but are not by either metric that site uses.
So, did BB filter people in a way the other titles didn't?
I would say that computer/steam users are just naturally less casual/more committed then console gamers. It is also worth noting that 31% of Sekiro players beat Isshin according to steam achievements and that is not much different from the 25% that beat the Wet Nurse. I would say the reason for it is that the more action and aggressive combat focus puts off people that don't have much time to invest to "get gud" as well as people who like the more traditional sword and shield combat of Demon's and Dark Souls

You are really insane. I have you blocked for a reason. Just looking at that user profile shows that it is activite in threads completely different from threads I am in, the twitch thread is featured my man. You are completely butthurt.

I started a randomizer run of Dark Souls 1 and it's so fucking fun. I used an item randomizer, and a fog gate randomizer.
The item randomizer does exactly what you expect, including starting gear, npc rewards and item drops.
But it's the fog gate randomizer that make it so cool. Every single fog gate becomes a portal that teleports you to another fog gate, so you never know if you will come out in a boss room or another area, it can get pretty crazy going from undead burg to O&S. The mod has a difficulty scale option that makes areas found earlier easier and later ones harder. But it is still crazy to fight Manus as your second boss.
The best part is how it makes you explore many areas backwards, making you play the game differently than you've done it before.

If you still want more from the game, I highly recommend these mods.
There is also enemy randomizer, but I find that a bit soulless and retarded.
 
Yeah, I hate Lost Izalith but playing it as another swamp would have been better. Still no excuse for there not being a nearby bonfire for the Bed of Chaos fight. Even in the Remaster maybe that would have been the time to add a freaking a bonfire somewhere close by at the very fucking least?

The remaster didn't actually add any bonfires, just made a couple more available for warp, or am I completely misremembering? But yes, they should have.
 
Priscilla is a feared because of her lifehunt shit. "Lifehunt" makes her the "anthitesis of life". It's not being subtle. Apparently it's more obvious in Japanese, but she is meant to be a bastard child too, born out of wedlock. The whole human sex slave/experiment shit is really shoddy fanfiction. She's just a "normal" half-dragon, which was translated weirdly into crossbreed. The "abomination" specifically hinting at Priscilla may be a trannylation thing too, as the Japanese text seems to just generally describe the doll as something that leads abominations to the painting, and there's quite a few fucked up things in that painting.

Because Ariamis is almost entirely a Velka themed area, it is presumed that Seath and Velka are Priscilla's parents. Which is messed up because Velka is also suspected of being Gwyn's wife, and Priscilla is Gwyndolin's mother. And Seath may have (definitely) fucked Gwynevere.

Gwyn and Seath be fuckin' eachother's hos.
I don’t think Seathe and Gwyn are fucking each other’s wife, in the Japanses text Seathe is awarded his dukedom at the same time be becomes the 外戚(Gaiseki), maternal relative, or in law to Gwyn.
I’ve seen this translated as both Seathe becoming Gwyn’s son or father in law, but I think it’s more likely he is Gwyn’s father in law through Gwyn’s wife being Seathe’s daughter as Gwynevere is married to Flan and Fillianore was given to the Ringed City.
This would also explain why Gwyndolin has a connection to the moon and snake legs, he takes after his mother’s side of the family and inherited a genetic defect as well as a connection to the moon, like Seathe has.
Gwyn is never mentioned to have remarried, or to have had other wives, unlike his daughter Gwynevere who famously has a lot of husbands and children, so I don't think his earlier children had a different mother.

While the painting is Velka themed as has her Crow worshippers, I think that’s due to it generally being an area themed after Seathe’s and Velka's side of the family. Velka is almost assuredly the mother of Gwyndolin and has some relation to Caitha as well since they all hold domain over sinners, sin, punishment, use int and faith for their spells, and use a form of dark magic.
Not to mention the fact that the Gwyndolin’s Darkmoons hunt people marked in Velka’s book, as well as using sorceries, which he would have an affinity for if he took after his mother’s side of the family.
The connection is even further cemented as Velka is the god of sin, and Gwyn is the god who committed the first sin. And in japanese first sin is original sin, so it’s not like Gwyn’s sin of linking the fire is the first among or greatest sin, but it is considered the original sin.

Also Priscilla being the daughter of Gwynevere hasn’t ever been hinted at, and even her connection to Seathe is pretty tenuous as other than a possible connection through Velka the only similarity they have is both of them are white and being dragons. Even then Priscilla is the pure-white half dragon while Seathe is the white dragon, she doesn’t use sorcery, she doesn’t share any serpentine traits, and even though her tail weapon is occult weapon like Velka’s rapier it has no int or faith scaling and her scythe isn’t an occult weapon.
Not to mention the fact that Priscilla is furry, which isn’t a trait that appears in Velka, Gwyndolin, or Seath.
I bring this up, as Priscilla not sharing many traits with either of them drastically decreases the chances she the children of either of them, honestly Priscilla is still almost a total mystery to me, as even the straight forward answers don’t line up well to scrutiny.

I don’t think Seathe and Gwyn are fucking each other’s wife,
That's good, because I didn't say that. I said Seath fucked Gwyn's wife, and they fucked eachother's daughters. Which they did. The only part that is speculative is Velka being the wife.
Also Priscilla being the daughter of Gwynevere hasn’t ever been hinted at,
It's also not hinted at in my post, because I literally said Velka was Priscilla's mom. I have no clue how you ended up at Gwynevere dude.

You got a buncha stuff wrong bro, Gwyndolin is Gwyn's son (hint, the name) and is literally called his last child in item descriptions. Priscilla is "Half-Dragon" Priscilla in Japanese, which got translated as "Crossbreed". Meaning one of her parents is a dragon. She is also a bastard iirc meaning she was born outside of marriage, meaning she came about after Seath married into Gwyn's family and became Duke. (And no, he's not his father-in-law, JFC.) He was married to Gwynevere, that was the theory going back to DS1 and then basically confirmed with Shira in DS3 (who is the daughter of The Duke, and also a handmaiden of The Princess while also possessing royal blood aka a member of Gwyn's family.) Gwynevere only married Flan after she and all the other gods left Anor Londo.

It's not really difficult to figure out that Seath is Priscilla's dad, because he is literally called White-Dragon Seath in Japanese and Priscilla is a Half-Dragon that is... completely white. Same with her being Gwyndolin's mom: Who is the woman Gwyn would have to lay to produce a son that is pale white with moon powers (aka Seath's relative) and dragon DNA (but not enough to have dragon limbs)? Oh shit, there's literally only one of those in the game: Priscilla.

The Seath-Priscilla connection was already not even a debate 10 years ago lol.

Sorry, I miss read your comment about Priscilla being Gwyndolin's mom as Priscilla being the daughter of Gynevere somehow... So many Gwyns.

I was saying that Gywndolin is the son of Gwyn and Velka. I am aware Priscilla is a bastard half-dragon, half-god.
Also I think Shira is the daughter of Astor in japanese he's called both an earl and a duke. Her crown while made from a pearl of a man eater, is also a human skull since man eater pearls are processed from human skulls, which is a similarity with Arstor as he processes humans into cursebite rings and the curse monument in the ringed city is made from human skulls.
Nevermind the fact that Shira is also born way too early to be the daughter if Seate and Gwynevere, she was a knight during the war against the dragons, but Seath was given part of the Lord Soul and Dukedom after the war of the Dragons. She also doesn't share any similarities with Seath, she is not a user of sorcery and doesn't have his pale complexion.
Shira can't be Seath's daughter as she's too old, and there is another duke which could also be her father.

It's not really difficult to figure out that Seath is Priscilla's dad, because he is literally called White-Dragon Seath in Japanese and Priscilla is a Half-Dragon that is... completely white. Same with her being Gwyndolin's mom: Who is the woman Gwyn would have to lay to produce a son that is pale white with moon powers (aka Seath's relative) and dragon DNA (but not enough to have dragon limbs)? Oh shit, there's literally only one of those in the game: Priscilla.

The Seath-Priscilla connection was already not even a debate 10 years ago lol.
As I said, I don't think there's that strong of a connection between Seath and Priscilla, they aren't the same type of white. Priscilla is 純白(pure or snow white) and Seath is 白(white). Additionally Gwyndolin and Priscilla don't have a lot connections, Gwyndolin doesn't have any snow powers or connection to the cold. Priscilla also doesn't any use sorcery or miracles, and has no connection to the moon like Gwyndolin and Seathe have, if she was Gwyndolin's mom and passed down affinity for these things to Gwyndolin I'd expect her to either use sorcery or for Gwyndolin to be connected to the snow cold or her lifehunt ability. Priscilla being sealed away for her lifehunt ability and her seeming young also signify to me she's a relatively recent birth and she was sealed away from birth due to the power the gods feared.
If she was so feared, they why would Gwyn marry her? Priscilla doesn't even have much linking her to Gwyn and why would Gwyn marry a bastard daughter who has an abominable power that he fears?
I disagree totally with her being Gwyndolin's mom as they aren't alike, Gwyndolin is a lot like Seath, but Priscilla in turn isn't like Seath or Gwyndolin.
Aldrich was able to replicate the life hunt scythe by possessing Gywndolin, but the girl he was a maiden/virgin/unmarried woman, which Priscilla wouldn't be if she was Gwyndolin's mom
 
I was saying that Gywndolin is the son of Gwyn and Velka. I am aware Priscilla is a bastard half-dragon, half-god.
Right, that's not possible. Gwyndolin's paleness, snake legs and moon powers are all clear indications of him being related to Seath. Serpents are imperfect dragons so his serpent features indicate he is related to a dragon but is far enough removed that he is no longer able to develop strong dragon features. More to the point, anybody besides Priscilla would not result in Gwyndolin having white hair&skin, snake legs and moon powers. This includes Velka.
Also I think Shira is the daughter of Astor
That's a pretty random pull. "The Duke" is a very specific term and literally only 1 character is called that while also having a direct connection to Anor Londo/Gwyn's family. Arstor is just some dude from Carim that exists in 5 item descriptions. It's clearly not him.

Nevermind that even in Japanese, Shira uses "公爵" which is a term used only used for Seath in DS1&3. Arstor is denoted with "公" the sole instance he is mentioned in DS3.
And "Shira" is clearly another Seath child, because (beyond her literally saying that she is his daughter) she has a very similar name to Priscilla in Japanese, who is another child of Seath.
シラ (Shira)[Shira] -> プリシラ (Purishira)[Priscilla]

There's nothing to indicate her existence is too late or early either, and nowhere is it said she was a knight during the war with the dragons. She is only described as being Filianore's knight. Her not looking like Seath&his family is probably down to sth stupid, like the lore being adjusted somewhat late or them using a player model or sth. She has long white hair in her concept art (which is more Seath-like), and that's not reflected in the model either. Her being literally written to say she is Seath's daughter supersedes this nonetheless.

The only argument you could make is that "The Princess" in this context should probably be Filianore and not Gwynevere. Which, yeah, by virtue of Filianore being the focal point of the DLC and Shira's relation to her already being established, would be appropriate. In which case, Seath banged Filianore.
I don't think there's that strong of a connection between Seath and Priscilla
Dude. It's not complicated. Again, there is literally one "white dragon" in the game. Then you come across a "half dragon" that is... completely white.
Who could have possibly been the dragon to produce a half dragon like that? It is not even subtle.

Your whole counterargument is that one item describes her as very white,lol. Like this isn't Seath having a specific title that's only used for him, which is deliberate terminology, it's just an adjective in a sentence that was used once. Just think about what you're saying, "Seath, the only white dragon in the game, who is also called White Dragon Seath, is not white enough to be the dad of the only white Half Dragon in the game, must be some other, whiterer white dragon that was never mentioned or depicted ever". Like what?
Additionally Gwyndolin and Priscilla don't have a lot connections
Again, there is literally only one character in the game Gwyn could have fucked to produce Gwyndolin, and that is Priscilla. There's no mystery, it's that basic and simple. Your hangups about Priscilla not having moon magic or Gwyndolin not having lifehunt is silly. It's like saying Gwyndolin can't be Gwyn's son because he doesn't use lightning. You even brought up the Aldrich miracle that just absolutely beats you over the head that they're related, like, c'mon.

Her being "young" is nonsense as is her being "sealed away since birth". There's nothing to indicate either, and it's quite obviously untrue for the former, as she is Gwyndolin's mom. Since she's Seath's daughter, a dragon Gwyn himself accepted into his family and made Duke, he wouldn't have had a problem with her by himself. Other gods like Lloyd? Less so. And I didn't say he married her, though the game doesn't say Gwyndolin is a bastard, unlike Priscilla. Gwyn specifically fearing Priscilla is not mentioned anywhere, and him porking her very strongly implies the complete opposite.

As for the girl mentioned in the Aldrich miracle, that's most likely just Yorshka. It's a bit wacky, the miracle itself is born of Gwyndolin's memories of Priscilla but the story in the description is not meant to be about her. It's about a secret(Yorshka) Gwyndolin kept hidden from him.

I'm saying Velka is a daughter of Seath, Gwyndolin is her son, and Seath is Gwyndolin's grandfather. Gwyndolin inherited a genetic defect from his mother's side of the family that was unforseen

Which, yeah, by virtue of Filianore being the focal point of the DLC and Shira's relation to her already being established, would be appropriate. In which case, Seath banged Filianore.
The miracle she uses, her sole form of magic is a spell used by female dragon hunting knights during the war against the dragons, and I find it hard to believe Filianore was wed to Seath since she was given to the ringed city which is ruled by Pygmy's, the most ancient form of human. So my understanding is that happened a long time ago, and sending off your daughter to be sealed away while a dick move is just stupid if you gave her to an ally in marriage.

Dude. It's not complicated. Again, there is literally one "white dragon" in the game. Then you come across a "half dragon" that is... completely white.

Like what?
Priscilla's white is snow or pure white, which is associated with cold, which Seath doesn't have a connection, and she isn't like Seath beyond being white and Gwyndolin isn't like Priscilla either.
If they do have a relation, I don't think it's a direct one, in my own reckoning I think she's likely a collateral relative of Seath
Again, there is literally only one character in the game Gwyn could have fucked to produce Gwyndolin, and that is Priscilla. There's no mystery, it's that basic and simple. Your hangups about Priscilla not having moon magic or Gwyndolin not having lifehunt is silly. It's like saying Gwyndolin can't be Gwyn's son because he doesn't use lightning.

It's pointed out that Gwyndolin doesn't have a strong connection to the sun like his father and siblings, but all of his siblings take after their father in either using sunlight or lightning. All of Gwynevere's children took on her sunlight powers, the giants of Anor Londo don't need to use talisman to use miracles implying they are relatives of the gods. I think affinity for certain types of magic and weapons is used at to hint at a connection between characters and Gwyndolin and Priscilla don't have any connection between each other like that.
And I don't believe she's Gwyndolin's mom, I don't think there's a strong connection between the two. Honestly I don't entirely disagree with Priscilla being a relative of Seath, but I do not believe she is in any way Gwyndolin's mother.
Priscilla lifehunt is to be feared by the gods and is the reason she was sealed away, and I think this lifehunt is a ability of hers since birth since her tail has occult(anti-divine) properties, I think the doll belonged to her when she was young and entered the painted world. And as I said earlier, I don't think there's any strong link between the two of them.
 
I'm saying Velka is a daughter of Seath, Gwyndolin is her son, and Seath is Gwyndolin's grandfather.
...You see "no connections" when a character literally says they're a "daughter of The Duke" but Velka is the daughter of Seath based on what? I have genuinely never seen anyone claim Velka was Seath's daughter, ever, because it's so astoundingly random. And people claim every other character is secretly Velka.

Like, your big sticking point was the lack of moon magic or whatever for "HALF-DRAGON" Priscilla, but Velka has 0 moon shit either. Like, what?
The miracle she uses,
Yeah, I forgot about the miracle, my bad. The dragon hunts are still such an incredibly vague and timeline wise undefined period that saying that Shira is too early or late is silly. That didn't change.

About Filianore, again the timeline for when the pygmies were given their kingdom by Gwyn for their aid against the dragons is vague and not defined at all. You cannot make the claim sth happens too late especially when the game itself says otherwise (eg. Shira literally saying she's Seath's daugher). The only reason I even brought up Filianore was because "The Princess" 99% of the time refers to Filionare in the DLC. My initial claim was Gwynevere.
Priscilla's white is snow or pure white,
Nope. It's just an adjective in an item description. Because she looks very white. You can see it with your own eyes. This argument is nonsensical. You wanna know why they use terms like that? To associate innocence and purity with her character. Which makes sense because of her demeanor and killing her giving the player a sin point.

This doesn't mean anything beyond that let alone work as a counter-argument for why she is not related to the only white dragon in the game, dude. You are just being obstinate.
And yes, their relationship is as direct as it gets, because her name is still "HALF-DRAGON". One of her parents was a full fledged dragon the other one wasn't, the game is stating this clearly.
I think affinity for certain types of magic and weapons is used at to hint at a connection between characters and Gwyndolin
Yeah no. This is only partly true. There are other, way more obvious hints at connections between characters, such as an item description literally saying he is Gwyn's last born. (Didn't you somehow miss that?)

And that he's a pale white part dragon dude. ("But who could the mother be???")
In a game where there is only one character that is also a pale white half dragon woman. ("But who could the dragon be???")
In a game where there is only one pale white dragon. ("Oh") The connections are not subtle, my guy.

Fuck me, Priscilla('s painting) is literally in Anor Londo and short walk from Gwyndolin's Darkmoon Tomb. He is basically right next to his mother. C'mon.
Priscilla lifehunt is to be feared by the gods and is the reason she was sealed away,
Nope, the only thing the game says is that gods (non-spefici) feared her lifehunt stuff. The context of her "imprisonment" (the game uses that term rather loosely) is not explained beyond that. When and how she ended up in the Painted World is completely non-existant. Even the doll, which mentions a female abomination finding the Painted World doesn't say anything beyond that. (But it does imply it was found by her, not that she was put there against her will.)

The notion that she is an unwilling prisoner is contradicted by numerous things though. She is not locked in any kind of cell nor does she have any bindings to keep her from moving. In fact, she is considered the mistress of the Painted World, has complete free range of movement and is standing right next to the exit instructing the player to leave. Gwyn clearly didn't mind her either as he hooked up with her. Painting Guardians exist solely to protect the painted world from being accessed by anybody.

Taking everything into account, it seems way more likely that either Gwyn or Gwyndolin was actively protecting her and keeping her safe. Both of which would make sense, but I'd say Gwyndolin is more likely.
