Dark Souls II: Dragons

Dragons played a huge role in the Dark Souls II demo. The castle of the dragons or mansion is still under development; this area caught the eye of a lot of dark soul’s player as the dragons have been a huge part in the Dark Souls lore. The castle of dragons "looks similar to the painted world" (Damen) and it is said that this game will take place in the future but too many including myself the game has so many little details that are making this game feel like a prequel. The demo seems to be answering many questions left behind from the previous game. Drakes branch off from dragons and in the demo you see these drakes destroy a bridge which is important as in Dark Souls the same area look similar to the beginning of the painted world and as indeed the bridge is broken as well. A week has past and the demo is still on everyone’s head. The idea that there will be more dragon combat is a huge excitement as in the previous games the players were limited to only fighting three dragons; Kalameet, undead dragons and the drakes. The eternal dragons might play a huge part in the next game over the emphasis over the idea of dragons still being alive. In the demo a bone dragon comes to life and as a surprise attacks you. The idea of immortality is an importance as the dragons are representing this. In Dark Souls II it might be possible to go more in depth and learn more about these creatures and witness what Big Hat Logan and Seath discovered.
