I'm so hype for DaS3, my broski (whom I got into Dark Souls) whenever we meet, first thing we say to each other is "dude... Dark Souls 3!"
Though I doubt I'll get the special editions this time around. I'd like to, but I don't think I could afford it (now that I no longer have a job), but when it does come out, any projects I've got going, games, my novel, whatever. They're being put on hold. It took me a week to power through DaS2, so I'm hoping the third entry'll take me a bit longer. How I eagerly await screaming profanities at my monitor until my voice gets sore.

And while we're on the subject. I, myself write short lovecraftian horror stories when I struggle with writing my novel.
After watching the film A Scanner Darkly, I decided to buy the book, but I'm currently working through Caliban's War, book 2 of James S. A. Corey's Expanse series.

I'm not saying the good vs evil motif is lovecraftian, in fact, good vs evil is the antithesis of lovecraftian horror. I was saying that when different authors started adding to the Cthulhu Mythos, that's when they added a good vs evil element. To me Lovecraftian horror will always be about the cold harsh reality of the universe. That not every alien is going to be ET.
On a side note, if you love Lovecraft, check out the short film Escape from Midwitch Valley on youtube.

I was always under the impression that the eldritch horrors didn't exist solely to torment us, but that they have existed since the universe began (and possibly beyond) And don't really care for the human race, they only bother with us out of sheer boredom. Originally the being of the Cthulhu Mythos were just there, and it was through our own folly that we discovered their existence (which was enough to drive any man insane), it was when his work really got popular and the likes of August Derleth, Robert Bloch, and a host of other writers expanded the mythos that there were so many sub-categories (Great Ones, Deep Ones, Elder Things, etc etc), and the whole shabang took on a more good vs evil approach.

Smelter Demon was optional, and, in my opinion, and filler boss. See, my main gripe about DaS2 is that is wasn't made by the same team who made DeS, DaS1, and BB, and it shows, the design was soppy, the boss designs generic, the world wasn't as connected as DaS1. Hidetaka Miyazaki, the mind behind the Souls games, has this idea that even the most malformed of monsters should have an element of beauty to them. Smelter Demon was just plain ugly. That and is constant AoE during phase 2 was total bollocks.
I have tons of Shaman Bone Blades, but I never use them, the wind-up is too long for my liking.

Well, this we know. I mean. I played Dark Souls before Demon's Souls, and the Black Knights from Dark Souls have near enough the same attack patterns as the blue-eyed knights from Demon's Souls.
But it was always to my mind, that boss models were reused for lesser bosses, like. No one cared about Smelter. and things like the Asylum, again thematically they were a type of demon, not a demon itself. And I was prepared to let Najka slide. But Laurence, using the same boss model from the first boss in the game.
And I'll agree, the second form of Laurence was pretty intense, killed me flat out thousands of times.
