Gwynevere was an illusion, why couldn't Ornstein be, too? In II he uses dark attacks instead of lightning, that alone explains everything you need to know about him.
Why is DS2 plot/lore so bad...

>Vendrick did link the flame, did he not?
So the set refers to Vendrick? That’s not an angle I considered, and one that makes sense.
>...while during III they use the "lands converge" excuse to have them be back, just like Anor Londo
Then there should be some DS2 lands amongst them, and if Drangleic was built upon Lordran then they wouldn’t have ‘gone’ anywhere. I kind of get the impression DS3 sort of ‘bullies’ DS2’s lore, the most telling bit is having Drangleic castle ‘omitted’ from the trio at Gael’s arena: It should be right up there with Anor Londo and Lothric castle.
What a couple of delightfully unsatisfying sequels.

gwynevere is an illusion because gwyndolin is the one making it to maintain the presence of the gods in anor londo. I don't think gwyndolin is hanging out in the basement of the cathedral of blue.

You know, I like the way II is represented in III, for the most part. One of the things I really like about II is how it's kind of a spin off story not really relevant to the overarching narrative: Drangleic was a literal who kingdom, not nearly as important as Lordran or Lothric. As such, the references as definitely there but few and far between: Alva, Laddersmith Gilligan, Nashandra and the Throne of Want's portrait next to Gwynevere's in Irithyll, weapon and armor description like the Faraam set or the Fume Ultra Greatsword...
What I do agree with, though, is that of all the areas they could've brought back in The Ringed City the chose Earthen fucking Peak. Seriously?

If anything blame Shibuya, Tanimura was brought in because the original DSII sucked for some reason

I meant Ornstein in 1. Like, O&S in 1 are illusions and the real ones fucked off somewhere else just like everyone else sans Gwyndolin. Ornstein ending up in Heide (III further builds on this saying how he went away trying to find the Nameless King)

"Sucked" could be very debateable.
Maybe the suits at Bamco didnt like the game and were forced to re-make and meet deadline.
We all know videogames are mostly driven by businessmen that have no idea what they are doing and want max profit, and Bamco is not really any better than EA.
Hunter Roberts
the joke is the dreg heap is a garbage pile, so earthen peak is far and above the most appropriate candidate.
