You can rest at any bonfire and select "Increase attack power" (getting the same message ER posted), and then the memory will turn into a "Remant: [name]", with a little more exposition. You also get +1 attack power. 02-05-2019 09:27:24 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjfu-5j4qr4bm1kpz732e7gn50mdb8.ipv6.telus.net: Yeah.

Balance is, unsurprisingly, completely broken, and not even in a fun way. If you just use your katana, it's fairly decent, but if you use literally anything else it's chaos in how good or bad it is. Enemy design manages to be even more boring than DaS 2, because instead of lots of knights with armo 02-05-2019 09:34:56 < syv!syvarris@pbnsmn-494-958-87-60.mycingular.net: Sekiro was made to create the feel of clashing swords between two warriors. It does that perfectly. If you want anything else, it's a firm meh. 02-05-2019 09:37:14 < ER!ER@63-39-173-041.dhcp.hckr.nc.charter.com: well, they made a game where just using your sword and fighting is a really, really, really good game. Then they added other stuff and didn't bring it to the same level. 02-05-2019 09:38:08 < syv!syvarris@pbnsmn-494-958-87-60.mycingular.net: Yes and this makes me mad. 02-05-2019 09:38:18 < ER!ER@63-39-173-041.dhcp.hckr.nc.charter.com: stealth and mobility are both fairly simple and effective. Sneaking is both important and not a way to beat everything. 02-05-2019 09:39:49 < syv!syvarris@pbnsmn-494-958-87-60.mycingular.net: The problem with stealth is that it's so uninteresting and basic. Most of the time you can either easily stealth kill everything you want to, or you can't because enemies automatically detect you. There's two areas where stealth becomes somewhat difficult, one of them being just absurd, and both are trivialized by the stealth consumable. 02-05-2019 09:40:04 < syv!syvarris@pbnsmn-494-958-87-60.mycingular.net: It's not a difficult or even particularly interesting mechanic. 02-05-2019 09:40:23 < ER!ER@63-39-173-041.dhcp.hckr.nc.charter.com: well, DS1 was a game with a lot of playstyles, DS2 is that with better mechanics and a worse world, BB is a game with one playstyle with some variations, DS3 is BB pretending to be DS1, and Sekrio is a game with one play style, and some other options that don't matter. 02-05-2019 09:40:48 < Devastator!chatzilla@hjfu-5j4qr4bm1kpz732e7gn50mdb8.ipv6.telus.net: 'night 02-05-2019 09:41:26 < syv!syvarris@pbnsmn-494-958-87-60.mycingular.net: Yup! Tradeoffs in all cases except for Sekiro, which is just the worst of the bunch written like that, as it also has the worst world and story. 02-05-2019 09:42:13 < syv!syvarris@pbnsmn-494-958-87-60.mycingular.net: Even compared to DaS 2, the previous holder of those titles, it has a *lot* less content. 02-05-2019 09:42:40 < ER!ER@63-39-173-041.dhcp.hckr.nc.charter.com: I think that DS3 is strictly inferior to both DS1 and BB by trying to combine them. 02-05-2019 09:43:02 < syv!syvarris@pbnsmn-494-958-87-60.mycingular.net: Well I haven't played it so I can't really say. 02-05-2019 09:44:57 < ER!ER@63-39-173-041.dhcp.hckr.nc.charter.com: eh. well, sekiro lived up to what I wanted it to be. I don't really care if the tools are irrelevant if they have cool animations. :P 02-05-2019 09:45:16 < ER!ER@63-39-173-041.dhcp.hckr.nc.charter.com: it's a good action game 02-05-2019 09:45:41 < syv!syvarris@pbnsmn-494-958-87-60.mycingular.net: So you can leave a positive review to counterbalance my negative one, and the world will go on. 02-05-2019 09:46:25 < ER!ER@63-39-173-041.dhcp.hckr.nc.charter.com: now to get hype for [whatever from makes next] 02-05-2019 09:46:54 < syv!syvarris@pbnsmn-494-958-87-60.mycingular.net: Yep.
