What I finally settled on for my Cleric:

I like this face, reminds me of some actress but I can't recall the name.

That's a good face.

Cheers! I think my first attempt was better... except when I found myself in the firekeeper hut I turned out to have a shrunken head that was sickly pale.

Looks like Stannis.

Really? I don't see it at all, other than a bit of a scowl and the hairline... but it's still super interesting because I was actually using a pic of Stephen Dillane as Stannis as a loose reference when I started, haha. After a while I gave up though and just worked with what I had.

Fashion Souls. Can't resist.

Oh wow, that picture quality. Is that GeDoSaTo at work? Bullshot quality screenshots.

You know, even after the downgrades, Dark Souls 2 looks so much better than Dark Souls. I actually went back to DS and did a fresh run and at first I was like, hm, this doesn't look that bad(PC with dsfix.) Then I jumped right back into DS2 after I beat DS and said holy shit, this is a much better looking product. Project Beast is going to look insane.

 

[HeelPower]

Really? Alva, Elite Knight, Wanderer, Velsdadt's, Black Robes, Lucatiel's, Royal Swordsman, Saint's Robes, Targray's, Creighton's, Throne Watcher, Archdrake's, to name a few? All of those are badass and classy, not gaudy at all. The Souls games have always had a mix of tacky high fantasy-like armours (like Old King's Armour, Armour of Thorns or Smelter Demon's) and classier, more elegant ones (like the Binded set, Hunter set, Royal Swordsman, Brass set). That's what makes Fashion Souls so fun, tons of choice for all tastes.

There are exceptions but I didn't enjoy the designs as much as I did in the first two games.

Btw I always go fashion souls and I had a tough time doing that in DS2.

 

[midhras]

Fashion Souls is icing on the scrumptious cake that are the Souls games. Those floating shields are a bane to my existence though.

Okay, before you all say it: I know I shouldn't have gone s&b on this shot:



EDIT: Also, to answer a question, my shots are all done using my ENB. That said, I'm weeping buckets daily that I can't get ENB and GeDoSaTo to work in concert. Maybe I need to throw more money or any kind of servitude at Durante. If he'd add the pause functionality he had going in DSFix I think I'd have a high chance of passing out from joy.

I'm partial to the original Fluted Knight armor from Demon's Souls. It's an armor that perfectly straddles the line between fantasy and armor that could actually exist in the real world.

 

[midhras]

I agree entirely. It's a pity it wasn't revisited in the Dark Souls games. That helmet was the best.

I like that dropped having armor appear differently for female characters going to dark souls. I mean the only set of armor that actually had an enclosed helm was the gloom set for female characters and you couldn't dress up as Garl either.

#FashionSouls time for me

I usually rolplay with my character, so here goes

How my char looks up close

this is my usual gear

mahou shoujo time

Mahou Shinigami

Assassin.tan Smexy version

Assassin-tan serious version

Huntress-tan big-bow-not-so-big-hat version

build dosen't matter as long as you look fancy, sorry if I couldn't zoom up that much

 

[Cannon Goose]

All my Demon's Souls and Dark Souls 1 builds were ugly and stat-based. I only got into Fashion Souls in Dark Souls 2.

Minus the rouge gauntlets and leggings that's pretty much one of my archers outfits.

I want this D:

Tried to make A-yeon, but the result was so disgusting that I just gave up and decided to make my first male character.

 

[Mistel]

Thanks to Gbraga here's some examples of outfits that I've had/ close approximations:

 

[Cannon Goose]

I want this D:

It's the Imported Hood and Manchettes, along with Executioner's Armour and Vengarl's Boots texture edited to be darker.

I also used a Mirrah Greatsword and a Greataxe, it was a lot of fun!

 

[mickcenary]

Heide Knight Iron Mask.

Heide Knight Iron Mask on fucking everything.

As for sets, Alva, Heide, Vengarl and Creighton are the godly quad in DSII.

Elite (DS; they ruined it in II) and Fluted are stunning.

 

[Gun Animal]

So, you guys remember how the Elite Knight Armor was on all the promotional material for Dark Souls 1, and it was available pretty early in the game, and it was probably the most used armor in the game by most people which practically made it the default or canonical armor for Dark Souls 1?

Which armor would that be in Dark Souls 2? I can see an argument for the Faraam set (because it's on the boxart, although few actually use it), for the Drangleic set (almost everyone uses it except for the helmet) and for the Alva set (obvious evolution of the Elite Knight set, used for the gesture menu...)

What do y'all think about this?

Don't know. Demon's Souls had the Fluted Knight set on the cover and in the intro, yet pretty much everyone I see in that wears Binded, Ancient King, or Gloom with silver bracers, tornado hat, or coronet. It was just a lucky coincidence that Dark Souls 1's mascot armor was really useful and easy to get; the Faraam set doesn't get much love because it's later in the game, and the Fluted set doesn't because LOL armor in Demon's Souls.

Spoiler

I really like the Mirdan set. Wish From would bring it back in some form.

 

[Blinck]

Bumping this a bit!

Here's my char's 2 sets:

 

[Xane]

 

[Cannon Goose]

I really wish Creighton's set didn't have the short sleeves.

 

[Spiffy_1st]

Lucatiel's armour is objectively the coolest looking in the game. I used dual rapiers for my first play though and it fit perfectly.

 

[Polioliolio]

I've got ENB on, what adjustments do I need to make if I want to temporarily remove the DoF on my character if I want a good look at him for this thread?

 

[Mogwai]

Elite Knight or Alva set and be done with it. Xanthous set when I'm going for the lolz.

Not very original, but the looks of these sets are epic.

Press shift + enter, disable the Depth of Field box.

Elite (DS; they ruined it in II)

How did the ruin it?

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Bumping this a bit!

Here's my char's 2 sets:

Very nice! I like how Alonne helm complements Creighton's.

How did the ruin it?

Yeah I dunno, it looks great to me. I prefer Alva though.

 

[Firebrand]

That Targray armor looks so good, I just don't have the heart to mug him for it.

Experience the arcade-quality action of GOLDEN AXE™, only on Sega Mega Drive™ Belfry Luna. Nearly all of the armor is in the Gyrm helm, ho ho. Might replace the drangelic gauntlets once I find something that has decent armor stats.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Taken by my friend using the binoculars on PS3, so I apologize for the blur (the binocular's focus is a bit messy).

Indiana Jane FTW

[wickfut]

most of the time I just stay in the starting rags.

 

[Pics_nao]

I just throw on the Heide Knight Set and call it a day <_<

Heide Knights are awesome as fuck anyway

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Nice. Bone skirt and dark mask, but what's the rest?

You really need to publish your ENB preset (or at least let me nosey at it and nick your sharpening settings ha ha)

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Alonne? I thought it looked different than that... hmm.

 

[Mistel]

They're correct that is Alonne Knight you maybe thinking of the Captain set:

 

[wickfut]

That's so good. I'm sad that they had to scrap the original mannikin mask design (see below), but that's such a good use of the new one.
