The first time I died was before the start of the game.

I was shocked that the naked undead corpse in the cell was my character (I played as deprived).

I love the tone of the review and it's great hearing little complaints of the difficulty. The rag-doll issues due irk me for a bit as well. Mainly because it's hilarious when you fight against an enemy who seems to be almost godly only for him to be reduced into a piece of taffy that's stuck on your for a few seconds. Her accent was the icing on the cake.....

Great watch.

i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)

I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.
