I played Elden Ring and it quickly became my favorite video game. I still watch lore videos on youtube and it’s been more than a year since I played the game. I played Sekiro later and adored it for both the gameplay and lore. I want to get into darksouls, and I’m pretty lore-oriented. Do I need to start from DS1 or can I jump into DS3? Would love any thoughts. Thanks!
The great thing about the Souls series is that frankly you can start at any game, and play in any order.
You will probably wind up with a bias towards a particular order after playing all of them. But it’s not like, Mass Effect or something.
If you are lore oriented, I’d play 1 through 3 in order blind, then read the shit out of wiki’s, the play them again with guides that help you go on a ‘lore tour’. But like, you could also just do whatever in any order and still have a great time.
