From Software announced that they were going to make a sequel to dark souls, and it would continue the story. What would you like to see in this? and also which story?

I personally think it would be interesting if they made a sequel which takes place after your character from the previous game becomes the new dark lord. This would be a challenge for From though because that would meen they would have to think of an entirely new respawn system (no more bonfires). Also they would have you fighting enemies who are not undead because no more bonfires.

Honestly I just want to see what they do next, and what creepy new enemies, bosses, and locations they think of this time. Thoughts?

Wouldn't it be a good idea to allow the game to simmer? In that a sequel shouldn't be rushed? This is the very behaviour that has destroyed so many brands that were once great.

fair enough. But we can still speculate right? Just for the fun of it?

What if they made goblins in the new dark souls?

You may say it's not their style, but they could make it their style

Wouldn't that lead to snow ball effect? They start adding elements that are not truly compatible, which can lead into other additions of more incompatible ideas. Wouldn't that deviate too much from the original.

I guess. I'm just spitballing really. Maybe they will just make it take place after the link the fire ending so your new character will use bonfires, and it will be very similar to dark souls.

I know it's hard to believe, but the Souls games do have story. They just don't present the whole thing upfront, instead letting you discover little bits and pieces as you go. If you look around the wiki's for the games, you'll see there's a ton of stuff going on in those games.

i really just hope they dont over do it. nobody loves the souls games more than me, but id hate to see them cranked out on schedule like in an assembly line. give the series some time to breath and to grow, maybe come back to it later if need be, and ill surely buy it and probably love it. ill definitely look for games from miyazaki's team in the meantime.

Agreed. Over-saturating an IP with sequels is never a good idea. I'd rather have 2 diamonds already cut than 2 diamonds surrounded by nyf.

Agreed, it would truly suck to have such a fate befall the Souls games.

Would anyone else out there find it interesting if they added a partner to your character? Like if you recruited a spirit or something to help you fight or a small dragon. Of coarse if they did I would hope they wouldnt base the entire game around it lol. A creature you could upgrade, level up, etc. I usually play as a magician and I also hope they bring back the MP system like in Demon's Souls. I felt a little restricted using only a ser number of spells in Dark Souls however it did challenge me to pick up ye olde sword and shield and duke it out lol. But I still like the MP system. I loved the covenient system as well! I hope they expand more into that as well. We need more scarier monsters as well! Spiders and more grotesque things lol. I hope they keep soing am awesome job amd dont let any of us down!

So, we got Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. You just know the next will be Death Souls. It's either that or Dark Demon's Souls... so pick your poison.

Honestly I'd be surprised if there wasn't another Souls game, seeing as how Dark Souls was quite successful for the size of its budget. I imagine Namco Bandai is probably trying to convince From Software to work another (if they haven't already). If they do have one in the works though, I hope it comes out for next gen consoles, not the current gen.

Demon's Souls and Dark Souls are the best RPG's this generation. Trolls that never played the game use this excuse to try to bring the game's quality down, it's all they got. Some critic who reviewed the game and sucked at it said, "there's no story at all" and the trolls ran with it despite the fact that there most certainly is a story, it's just slowly revealed to those that seek it out. Meanwhile, they have no clue what the hell they're talking about and should probably kill themselves and do us all a favor.

If it 'aint broke don't fix it. I just want to see a sequel that is more of everything in Dark Souls. No need to change it. A few new features of slight improvements on bugs/clunky mechanics might be nice but they shouldn't change it too much. However i would like to see a more Demons Souls-esque soundtrack rather than the more heavily orchestrated one from Dark Souls.
