I always apprciate the effort you go to when posting so didnt want to leave you hanging.
I hope you feel better soon!
I appreciated your thoughts! I think to be honest there are a lot of little things in each stage that wind you up that don't really bother me.
But I think some of your thoughts do reflect how I
initially felt about each area, and that's interesting. My opinion has improved on a lot of them, I guess because I've learned a lot of tricks that make them fun for me. (Like, I can't remember the last time I went
all the way down Blighttown rather than taking the Valley entrance...)
We're in agreement about the mosquitos in Blighttown at least!
(See video below...)
What's your favourite Soulslike, out of interest? Bloodbourne? Sekiro, if it counts?

So I didn't stream, but I did play for a bit. Here is me testing out NVidia's game recording stuff, showcasing my
extreme Souls skills. (Proving that knowing a lot about a game isn't the same as being good at it
)
I went on a quest to get the Power Within upgrade, which is handy in the late game, and got destroyed by mosquitos, weapon durability, and my own greed (I took the shortcut to the bottom, which is why I'm exploring bottom-up instead of top-down):
Then the NPC summon, Mildred, carried me through the Quelaag fight (and I got an egg, and I got scared of frogs and ran away from a tree):
The videos are probably not the most exciting or well-produced but you did request it
