I also still think the mod is great. Sure the quests are kinda buggy and obscure, but thats nothing new in Dark Souls. If you managed to figure out to install the mod im sure you can also figure out how to make a few back-saves in case something breaks.
I greatly appreciate all the time and effort that went into making a fresh new ds1 experience.
I see a lot of negative comments but I'm not gonna lie, I think it's a perfectly good mod that is substantially more difficult than the vanilla Dark Souls experience, which I find to be tiringly easy. It could be better, but everything can, and I believe the creator will use some of the lessons from this mod in the next one they're cooking up. In other words, git gud bros?
Sigh It started on a good premise, nice change of pace with enemy placements and different road, enemies becoming mid bosses. But as soon as you start QUESTS, everything stops making sense This mod is like a toddler who sneaks on his father's work and messes with everything
this mod: you can tell what the artist was going for, but they obviously didn't actually know how to paint. or maybe their paintbrush was broken or something.
seriously, iron golem keeps teleporting me into his hands from random places on the stage with a grab that has almost zero startup animation and instakilling me. i'll be behind him and to the left, next to his axe hand, then i'll just warp into his front right side and be in a grab animation. this is the exact kind of unfair garbage that the original game was so careful to avoid.
Mostly okay, very obviously someones first attempt at making a mod like this. Things like removing most bonfires but not adding the ability to warp between the remaining ones, some bosses being made strictly worse without any real justification and the quests being so easy to break make the mod feel thoughtless. Vanilla dark souls is by far a better experience, but making a mod this large is hard. That being said a lot of the changes felt like they were made for the sake of it, and from what the mod author has posted about an upcoming mod I believe this one should basically be considered a tech demo.
This mod mostly works and mostly achieves what it has set out to do. The problem I have is what it is trying to do is not very interesting, the game isn't meaningfully more difficult, the balance changes feel pointless, and while some encounters are fun, it's not worth the hassle and extra time you have to waste running around. I recommend it if you're not sure what you want to get out of a mod, or you like fan fiction and things that are inconvenient.
