Oh I don't give a rat's ass about Dark Souls 2. The game's story and lore were executed at the same level everything else in the game. In other words, they're a joke.

What I was referring to was your take on Dark Souls lore, specifically the way you presented it - as if it was all a long known estabilished fact. While it's true that the game hints rather heavily towards Dark Soul being Humanity and Pygmy being Manus, there's still plenty of holes in tha ttheory. For example, if Dark Soul is Humanity, why can you use it to feed Bonfires? If Age of Dark is the Age of Man, why is the Man being so royally fucked by the Age of Dark? If Pygmy/Manus went insane eons before the time the game's events take place, why Kaathe still does his bidding? And so on.
