Level design. The submerged aesthetic is pretty neat, actually.

I can see what they were going for, with the ghosts, and it is pretty freaky for the first little while, but I tend to just get fed up with 'lol now there are ghosts all around you and you can't kill them, because they're inside the walls'. Which is the only difficulty for me in flooded New Londo - trying not to die to the ghosts that rise up behind you or hide in walls.

I'm pretty sure you can kill the wall ghosts just by whacking the walls they're hiding in. Doesn't work for the floor ghosts but those don't usually follow you.

What I really hate are the ghosts that are just too high or low for your weapon to hit them. I understand weapon selection in dark souls is about the moveset, but cmon! Can you really not hit that gigantic mosquito in front of you just because it's slightly above your halberd thrust! 

...

I guess that applies to all flying enemies in general.

Depends on your weapon and which wall they're hiding in. Katana lunatic struggles a lot more than a halberd user would.

I though Izalith was the worst area in DS1; New Londo didn't bother me all that much.

[heydude6]

Izalith sucked but the demon ruins leading up to it are fine.

Muhahahah, you fool, who didn't have the dumb luck to get the Black Knight Halberd!da
Honestly, I feel kinda cheaty using it, it has an amazing moveset and stunning amounts of damage, so I'm nearly breezing through the game with it.
I mean, I'm still dying a bunch, but it's so good I killed Gravelord on my first go (And I mean first, I was going in blind), took out O&S on my second, and was punching way beyond my level so much so that I forgot about the Capra Demon area, and probably would have for a lot longer if I could have figured out how to use that rickety bastard Blighttown calls an elevator.

I tried to take on Najarala, forgetting that I had no potions. I managed to beat it using just the First-Aid Meds in the supply box anyway.

It's really fun to escape Naja's pin maneuver with the insect glaive. I don't know you'd get out of it without that.

Dual-wield (Great Axes, or various zweihanders) faith build. if you can't tank it, murder it.

I have about eight of those, I'm just specifically using katanas on this run because it seemed fun.

SHUT UP YOU DERAIL

Anyways, just massacred a bunch of tribal dimwits who decided to attack me. After, y'know, I accidentally killed a bunch of them who were passing through after mistaking one of them for the leader of one of the enemy tribes... turns out they were siblings with the same surname.

I think one of my soldiers lost a finger but that was the worst of the inj... wait, no, one of my troops had his foot shot off by friendly fire. Goddamnit. Oh well, feet don't really matter in this game anyway.

RimWorld

[Eric Blank]

Two separate encounters.

Firstly, a cockatrice on Bitterblack Isle. I was completely unprepared, only brought three panacea and no secret softeners or anything of the sort that could cure petrification. Over the course of the battle it killed all three of my pawns, because I they were petrified and couldn't be cured. The last pawn, my healing mage, was still technically alive at the instant I finally dealt the finishing blow. She died immediately afterwards, though, and the cockatrice didn't drop anything that could have saved her anyway. I snuck back to the entrance, because I didn't have a liftstone or anything to teleport. I say snuck in only the faintest sense, because there's no real sneaking mechanic, and was spotted by goblins.

Encountered an elder ogre in some sewer-like tunnels, still on Bitterblack isle. This is a monster that has 10 health bars (1 bar + 9 dots). It is huge, it repeatedly picked up my pawns and chomped on their heads. The only attack I had equipped that had any real effect against it was the explosive ricochet shot from my bow. We fought it back and forth in a section of the sewers, and very, very slowly took out 4 dots of health. Half dead. Then by pure luck it charges through and past the party as we have our back to a hole in the wall, and it goes right through the hole! There's a narrow ledge on the other side where it lands, and sits there for a minute while I try to convince my pawns to pull back. Then, it jumps off into the water below and dies. Instant victory, 25k experience. Suddenly wish I'd thought to use one of my veterans' periapts so I'd get the double XP, but the effect wouldn't have lasted the entire battle and seeing it off a cliff was completely unexpected. In fact I thought this would be a repeat of those two separate times a cyclops bludgeoned me off cliffs to my death, when it ran out of the tunnels and to a cliff overhanging that chasm, so I lead the party back inside once rescuing the warrior.

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen

[Teneb]

Took on the only empire capable of threatening me and came out on top. Sure, I only took a few border systems, but their military has been crippled beyond any chance of recovery.

Spoiler: A shot of the galaxy right before the war, I am the unimaginatively-named big blue blob (click to show/hide)

Most of the little blobs inside my territory are protectorates that pretty much serve as influence farms, including the humans of Sol III that I uplifted while they were still in Crusader Kings. The only exception is the purple one at the "northern" part, which is part of one of my neighbors.

Stellaris

[Akura]

Are Stellaris and The Last Federation linked? Or did you just name your empire after the protagonist's race in The Last Federation?

The second. There is a hydra as a species appearance, and I ran with it.
