10 Things That Make No Sense About Your Favourite Games

There's a firm argument to be made that the fine folks at FromSoftware are pure sadists, given the medieval wringer they put players through in their "Soulsborne" games.

But there's perhaps no better evidence of FromSoft's maddening design philosophy than the architecture of Dark Souls' elevators, which for reasons unknown all contain bottomless pits below them.

Though Dark Souls is of course far divorced from our own tangible reality, it's a baffling enough affectation to make you wonder who, within the context of the game world itself, would be enough of an a**hole to put a bottomless floor below an already precarious levitation elevator.

It may simply be nothing more than a bizzarro design solution intended to prevent players from falling below the elevator and getting stuck, but that doesn't make it seem like any less of a dick move on FromSoftware's part.
