And as for the key, it also says the "great bridge of Undead Burg." How many "great bridge of Undead Burg" bridges do you assume this game has? Jeto I was simply commenting on his remark which said a bridge. I didn't go and check if his remark was accurate for what the key said. I care little to remember what most anything says. Especially after paying attention to my very first item and it was a ring that was supposed to heal me slowely through the game. The cake was a lie. (over used but very valid still)

I am slow as slow can be... put a lot of time into this game and only rang one bell. and ran across zero that would count as story telling. Guessing at story is not story telling. Nor is it really valid defense of Dark Souls when it comes to it's lack in story telling.

Again I am loving the game. and give it thumbs up regardless of the fact it is basically a Boss beating game, that focuses on leveling and trial and error. Really nothing past that. What I find funniest about the game is that it is supposed to be so hard but it really isn't. They make it hard simply by locking you into blind moments with boss characters and don't let you run away. Really nothing special. They could do the same thing with Mario. He climbs down a pipe and you are suddenlt locked into a level with a Boss for no apparent reason. with no clue but to guess how you were going to die.

So one question really... for a hard game I figured they would micro manage your inventory and make it so you had to really think about what you caried and picked up. But no... they let you carry the equivelant of an elephants weight in your invisible backpack. I could have picke dup the Eifel Tower for all I know. I have no clue. ha
