    Goddamn. Your videos have really revitalized my love of DS2. I was so burned out on Elden Ring (a game I do like, don't get me wrong), and going back to revisit DS2 feels like a breath of fresh mountain air. Reminds me of why I love the Souls games in the first place. DS2 has so many amazing little details and cool mechanical touches, and god I wish From would make more games that had something even remotely comparable to it. Like how Bleed in DS2 expands the mechanic in a really interesting way, or how carrying a torch requires you to manage a resource and makes you hugely vulnerable to oil. Dungeon Crawling at its absolute BEST. Second only to Demon's Souls, in my opinion.

    Really looking forward to this series! I got back into playing DS2 last year and started my own pyromancer playthrough. I ended up getting walled at Fume Knight because I didn't listen to my more experienced pyromancer friend, and went with a pure pyro instead of hybridising with miracles/sorceries/hexes. I should probably pick up that playthrough again.
    Love the free-aims, but I do have to say that not using the binoculars on a caster in this game feels like a massive missed opportunity, given the fact that this is their best iteration in any From game by far, and the pinpoint precision they allow for makes you feel like a sniper. They're so responsive and fluid to use, too.
    Would love to see some usage of those later down the line. And keep up your excellent work!

    You can also blow up the gunpowder barrels there, and the goblins above will come out of their rooms to see what's with the noise. Saves resources in the early game, although then you of course lose the opportunity to blow up goblins themselves using the barrels.

    i was thinking domo, why not using the lightingengine mod ? u should use it so more ppl know about it.
    also, i'm in the Radai discord and i learn from those amazing ppl that, we have less s when we roll AND going in negative stamina ( i don't remember if u ever showed this in any of your videos ), but that's, something u should mention in a your next video - i have no idea if is the same for ds1 or ds3, i have the feeling that is only a DS2 thing.
    idk if with Radai program u can see that thing of the "negative s", hope u get what i mean.
