Learning To Love Dat Skirt And Other Dark Souls Fashion Tips

Screens only of your best and worst Dark Souls fashion!



What?

Stylin'.

Ugh. Dem Gloves are horrid. Get yourself some Tattered Cloth Manchettes!

IS THERE ANYBODY IN THERE?

Also. I'm starting to see a trend here.

crossposting from another thread:

You're doing it wrong. This looks awesome.

Isn't the shield upside down?

Oh I see why.

no, when you bring the shield up to defend your fist goes to right under your chin, your elbox against your stomach, so the shield is perfectly placed.

EDIT - DAMN your speedy understanding.

One of the cool attentions to detail in Dark Souls is that you hold shields in ways that make sense, and you hold different shields in different ways when they're not up but it always works out right when you watch the putting-your-shield-up animation.

Best and worst! Great look Astromarine.

I wish to fuck that the Chester mask didn't make you look like some kind of juggalo reject. The rest of that outfit is so great. Maybe I'll pair it with Pharis' cap or something else appropriate.

I got bored with my wizard so I started a melee guy. He's way more fun + badass.

Hmm... yeah, I think that might work nicely. I've been wanting to do something similar, with the net goal of recreating the Official's Cap + Rogue's Armor/Boots/Gloves combo I used in Demon's Souls. I liked killing demons in style with my Female Royal.

I forgot how tricky it is to keep under 25%, especially without Havel's Ring, in the early parts of the game. So when a thieves' hood dropped and turned out only to weigh 1.1 well ... had to be done.

New look for the duel-zard:



And an action shot! What's that? You like to invade and two hand the Black Knight Halberd? Let me know how that works out for you.



Just need to get a better head/leg sorted. Once I can get to the DLC I'll probably go for more Chester's pieces.

I am wearing DIS SKIRT because it looks like it has better stats than DAT SKIRT, at least pre-upgrades. In addition I have the BKH, Artorias' greatshield and the DragonSlayer Greatbow. I gotta same some encumbrance somewhere so I can say <50% w/Havels ring with all those mighty weapons.

Purty.

It's hard to believe he's come so far from that atrocious shot in the OP.



Wanderer Gloves/Legs/Hood, Hard Leather Armor, Baldur Shield, Velka's Rapier. A very stylish Dex/Int outfit, if I do say so myself, and under 25% with good protection with just 25 END and a Ring of Favor and Protection.

I still want a different helm at some point but none of them really have a good mix of stats and appearance. I'll probably just upgrade. Most of my armor is +9/10 now.

Armor looks good, but uh...

Look where I was for the Pyromancy explanation.

As for Velkas, it's fucking hilariously good fun. Hits harder on most monsters than my BSS+15 with my current stats (20 dex, 26 int) and it looks fantastic. This is a fashion thread!

It was just the combo. I would never question Velka's!

THIS. IS. DA FASHION-THREAD!

Why, yes, I have been farming the worthless depths for hollow thief items. Why do you ask?

Hollow Thief gear is some of my favorite dropped armor in the game. I especially like those plates on the torso piece that overhang the legs. Nice.

From naked boar-head barbarian to noble boar-head knight.

While I'm not overwhelmed by the composition of gear, I do like how this screen looks.

"Soon I'll have the Black Iron Set.

HO HO HO"

This is SO different than my gear from my previous (first) run.

Indeed! Very important. Here, another of our instructors show the famous yoga stance Praise the Sun!


HAI GUYS RCtrl removes the UI!!

Apparently I'M THE ONLY WHO CARES ABOUT LOOKING GOOD even if I yes, I am wearing Dat Skirt in this shot but I've switched it out in the game now but man it's hard.

Here our intrepid hero is roaming about Dark Anor Londo looking for ways to kill the only remaining living god, and boy is he doing it in style!
Maiden Hood, Maiden Cloak, Brigand Bracers and to top it off the Painting Guardian leggings that are just to die for! The Iron Round Shield and an Uchigatana go so well together.

Action shot!

Dingy 4 Lyfe

Mask of Velka sure is purty!
