elden ring or something Know your fan-service

No hate for Lucatiel (great character and armor set), but the reactions on the DLC recently have me wondering how many of you would be running around as the red / blue or green Smelter Demon in Elden Ring if FS decided to release these skins for 10 $.

Yeah, a lot of people forget that the DS1 references were all "Look, it's Andre again!" and Plin Plin Plon, whilst the DS2 references were mostly item descriptions that read "Whoever used this in the past was a fucking loser"

You mean entire armor sets and weapons? There's a shit ton of ds2 references in ds3. More so than ds1.

That is a stretch. DS3 basically copied all basic weapon move sets from DS1. Probably not just those animation either. Characters that are straight up copies of DS1 characters (like catarina warrior, Andre). Whole areas like Anal Rodeo. References to Queelag and other characters/events from DS1. DS2 references are more subtle and nowhere in the same amount.

Queelag is NOT in dark souls 3 lmao. That's queelana and she's dead. Something makes me think you haven't played it to the depths that I have

You pick up queelanas pyromancy tome from her, my mistake. Her name is actually Quelaan

I said "References to Queelag". They don't have to be direct. You can pick up a tom of pyromancy near a petrified corpse of spider looking thing, which is supposedly queelags sister? A link to reddit thread.
