...Heh.
Well, I won't spoil it for myself, but...
...Hmm.
You know, I think my dream action-RPG at this juncture would basically be: Give the Dark Souls team the gameplay and give Bioware the story.
I mean, can you even imagine that game? The combination of Dark Souls gameplay and an actual supporting cast to interact with and genuinely care for?!?
I know there's an underlying logic for the Dark Souls team keeping their lore all abstract and ambiguous, but even with such a vague backstory, they could actually write personalities into their characters. And give me dialogue options and let my character live and breathe in the world. I'm just saying, if I actually cared more about the story in Dark Souls and it had epic fights like that, I'd practically have a heart attack every time I played. In a good way! I'd be so thoroughly invested in the characters and the adventure that it'd be exquisite anguish to make it through every fight.
