    The plot of DS2 functions in such a fashion that it is inversely auto-relational.

    The more you know about the plot of DS2, the less you actually know about the plot of DS2.

    Alright and in this next scene all the animals have AIDS.

    I got a little excited when I saw your ship.

    As a non-Dark Souls person, I have a question. Is DS2 a sequel in terms of an ongoing plot from the first game or is it more like "Here's some more ways to die in this world, enjoy"?
    The plot is only there if you care a lot about reading item descriptions and making speculative leaps so...the 2nd? Technically the 1st I suppose

    There are too many options now. Snap, crackle, pop? How will I ever decide which is most appropriate? It used to be so easy to tell if something was So Raven... those were the days.

    A whole bunch of us hang out on a regular basis in little clusters, actually.

    I hang out with Passerbye every other week, see Riemann at the bus stop, occasionally have awkward nods with Than, and sometimes there is a Feral and a Potatoninja.

    this is the level of 'plot' i got from my ds2 playthrough
    you need to open a door for reasons so you kill some dudes until you can open that door and then you can kill some other dudes to open another door and then you kill the final dudes and congrats you won

    my typical playthrough of these indirect-storytelling pieces of media is to wait 2-5 years for the various competing fan wikis to be fully compiled and then just plow through let's plays on youtube

    CNN had a "discussion" on corporal punishment for children that was pretty much that.

    Super happy with it though.

    Some dudes might actually be some other dudes but then it's like why would they even be the same dudes given the already however loosely established framework it sure doesn't make a whole lot of sense also what does it all mean and why in the flipping fuck is this steel shaft flammable

    Alright and in this next scene all the animals have AIDS.

    Does DS2 not have an opening FMV that says "And such and such was defeated, but theeeeen" and then you go die for 70 hours?

    Most of the characters (especially ones that you can summon at various points to halp you fight things) have the same motivation as you: cure themselves of the curse before they become hollow. So their motivations are usually the same, it's just their backstories that are varied. Lots of different paths to the same place.

    And the queen wants the throne, apparently giving whoever sits on it some sort of omnipotence? or something?

    monster motivation is to eat you, they're hollow as fuck already

    I think the opening FMV is mostly about how cursed your unlucky ass is, and some super vague and brief but still kinda neat description of the kingdom you're being drawn to
