10 Video Game Characters Who Completely Dropped The Ball

When you play through the Dark Souls series, it seems as though the Age of Fire is the "good" side of things - largely because shadow is commonly associated with the side of evil, and also because almost every shadowy creature you meet looks like a discount horror monster.

As it turns out in the Dark Souls III DLC Ringed city, though, the impending Age of Dark many of you will have been trying to evade isn't actually supposed to be an evil concept. The actually issue is because of Gwyn, who cut humans natural ties to the dark out of fear of what the end of the Age of Fire would entail for him, thus making the concept of dark grow monstrous because of this manipulation.

Had he not feared essentially the concept of change, most of the events of Dark Souls wouldn't feel so doomed, because the Age of Dark wouldn't be a concept associated with a ton of goddamn ghouls, but rather regular people.
