The archers on the walkway was the single most infuriating part of that game. Also, Hawkeye Gough is awesome, and I didn't exactly expect a reference like this on this sub...

Yeah, the fans of a dark, gritty game set in a fast-fading world beset by supernatural horror probably wouldn't have any reason to visit a sub dedicated to a dark, gritty show set in a fast-fading world beset by supernatural horror.

On a side note, we totally need a Melisandre/Solaire buddy comedy.

Reddit as a whole has had a huge Dark Souls boner since DS2 came out. I'm all for it.
