I wanted to play someone light and neat, a guy who isn’t always picking himself up off the ground.
No more bingeing the whole stamina bar on one obscene attack, then waiting drunkenly for the return blow. No more of the great knobbly weapons I carried in Dark Souls, the sticks that rested on my guy’s shoulder like bloated flagpoles.
Like a middle-aged man who attends exactly one salsa dancing class, I was briefly resolved to try something new.
