Yep. No none sense in the Souls' games. Just death and despair. And people farming with two white phantoms to help them.
I just hope it doesn't get too focussed on the player as a character. I mean sure, you're the chosen undead/one whatever, but I don't want there to be, say a love interest for the character.
RPG elements like that don't belong in the Souls' games. Also I hope the covenant system is cool too.
