What retcons have there been since DS1 so far?
What retcons have there been since DS1 so far?
The conditions for going Hollow have changed from each game, for starters.
In DS2*
None. None of the games have ever been direct sequels.
Not really a retcon but the Chosen Undead not killing Gwyndolin seems to be the 'canon' path, given that Gwyndolin is alive long enough to get vored by Aldrich in 3.
Not the same universe / timeline.
Only things I can think of are that the Chosen Undead canonically linked the fire and Gwyndolin/Priscilla canonically not having died to the player
ds3 is a direct sequel to ds1
Chosen undead doesn't kill Gwyndolin
Ashen one is an undead but he doesn't go hollow the normal way because he is an unkindled
Chosen undead linked the flame after Gwyn
Logan doesn't go hollow during the events of DS1, he wrote some scrolls after that
Killing the bed of chaos doesn't turn off the chaos flame, the witches of the profaned capital did that.
Quelana doesn't go hollow during the events of DS1. She died after the witches of the profaned capital burned the city, protecting her sister.
Chosen undead doesn't kill Priscilla, Priscilla got married and has a daughter, Yorshka.
Gwynevere actually leaves Anor Londo before DS1 events to go to Lothric, marry Oceiros and have three children, Lorian, Lothric and Ocelotte. Between leaving Anor Londo and marrying Oceiros, Gwynevere has Rosaria, the dancer, the girl that dies in the tower with the winged guardians and the Ringed City girl.
Now, a lot of this depends of what timeline we're talking about and time lines in Dark Souls universe are so way too weird, so whatever sounds logical to you, it works.
>None of the games have ever been direct sequels.
the fuck are you talking about?
DaS2 establishes that its the same universe with a repeating cycle of similar events.
That being said, the age of fire was supposed to end in DaS, but the idea of cycles was introduced in II to produce more sequels.
