Dark Souls II

Dark Souls II is the sequel to Dark Souls.

Drangleic was once a glorious land, but since then has been ruined by the undead curse, who reduced their inhabitants to hollows, mindless violent creatures who feed on souls.

Our featureless protagonist was afflicted with this curse, and was told by an old lady to go to Drangleic to end his curse. There he meets three old woman, who cure his hollowing, but only temporarily, and tell him simply to prod through the kingdom. Doing just that, the Cursed warrior meets a woman called the Emerald Herald.

The woman tells the protagonist seek the king Verrick, that once ruled Drangleic before it fell into chaos. However, she says the Cursed can't find him with a weak soul he have now, so she tell him to collect four greater souls around Drangleic.

And so, a dangerous, deadly, journey though this once beautiful land begins....

 * Artificial Human:.
 * Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Aside of dragons, giants and other fictional creatures, there is a large deal of big goddamn animals, like spiders, salamanders, beetles, etcteraetctera spread through the game.
 * Brutal Honesty: The three old women at Things Betwixt don't hesitate in telling you exactly what they're thinking: that you're pretty likely will fail and become another walking corpse wandering Drangleic.
