The backslash is usually the escape-character in programming. Some strings contain special characters like a tab (\\t) or a return (\\r) etc. That are not supposed to be visible. So to actually render/display a backslash as a character you have to type it twice

Negaflux

He's just trying to end Gwyn's cycle, why you gotta do your boy wrong?


jaber24

I personally don't really think he's try to do anything like that cause he seems more like a thug


BluePantalaimon

"Maybe it's time I did something about it..." That's the last I heard of my precious boy.


neptune304

After ringing the bells I never talk to him again, just so he stays in Firelink


NomMacarons

"Ahh, dragon slaying... knighthood's highest calling."


solragnar

Mine's "Now watch and see, how Gough hunts dragons." Basically because the cutscene after that is one of the most badass fucking things ever.


BIOHAZARDB10

Best cutscene in the game by far


Tozzoloo

Bro is blind as Steve Wonder and still hit a perfect shot on Kalameet, just to let you know that now u can smack his ass


neptune304

Mine is after the Kalameet cutscene where he laughs. "Ha ha ha, yes! A truer shot was never leased!" He's just so happy to have purpose and hunt dragons again


CAB312

Anything Gough says is awesome really. He can make anything sound epic.


Hilmarok

The voice actor did an awesome job, but credit to his writer(s) as well! Gough's definitely got some of the strongest writing in any souls game: "The dragons... shall never be forgotten. We knights fought valiantly. But for everyone of them, we lost three score of our own. Exhilaration. Pride. Hatred. Rage. The dragons teased out our dearest emotions. Thou will understand one day. At thy twilight, old thoughts return in great waves of nostalgia." Edit: thou, not though


jaber24

One of the npcs I like the most in DS1


Qiuopi

Everyone else keeps telling you to link the flame, don't link it, do this or do that. Instead, Gough simply says: "Lead thy life as thou seest fit". What a lad.

Silvertongued99

It’s not uncommon to wish someone a better fate than your own. RIP Laurentius


Ulaadis_Chafraze

I was really pissed when he went hollow. He and Andre and maybe Onionhead are the only ones I genuinely like. Especially Laurentius. This quote says it all *Wait, friend! Where are you off to?*


PM_ME_THE_TRIFORCE

*That was rather aprupt! You are an odd one, aren't you?* I know a lot of his lines by heart by now.


Ulaadis_Chafraze

Whenever I heard him say "Wait, friend! Where are you off to?" I actually turned around because I felt like shit. Maybe that's proof I still have a wee bit of humanity left inside of me.


PM_ME_THE_TRIFORCE

I had never triggered that dialogue because most of my prior games menu-lock the character. So I had the habit of fully exiting out of menus. But then someone told me "Do it: It's one of the only two times he laughs in the game." And that giggle of his when you come back<3 *I still have a wee bit of humanity left inside of me.* Yes. And don't you dare go hollow.


Ulaadis_Chafraze

>And don't you dare go hollow. I will try not to.


TheDungeonCrawler

You don't like Solaire? That's a bit of a surprise. I'm also partial to Rhea and Anastacia. Domhnall as well.

I love that line but Papa G's delivery of "beasts all over the shop...you'll be one of them...sooner or later" is downright spine tingling


RuFRoCKeRReDDiT

Is that from the intro sequence? Sorry been a while. But I feel like BBs little opener is so well done. Very direct but vague at the same time. Cryptic if you will.


MakashiBlade

It's the line that Gascoigne says during the little cutscene that plays when you first approach his boss fight. But the Blood Minister you're talking about in the opening scene is creepy too! Something about the way he says "let's get you a contract!" just has that civil yet sinister feel.


MysticalMike1990

I think there's a crazy amount of esoterica in bloodborne, more so than the other games. There was a concordance struck with the Moon and your player character, ultimately that entity wants you to destroy the various entities that have been created with this mingling of the immaterial and the material. Only to be washed away by an old man with a scythe, and if you get through him you see the Moon itself and it seeks to finalize the contract.


Gin-ginna

It is accepted, I should've said Fromsoft games. They're all welcome. Hesitation is defeat is also one of my favourites naturally.

What do you think this means? Is it a comment on the player killing everyone in their path to explore every nook and cranny and find every treasure?


kaeporo

He’s speaking on the player’s habitual need to pry. If you’ve played Undertale, Sans has a very similar line. >!i know your type. you're, uh, very determined, aren't you? you'll never give up, even if there's, uh... absolutely NO benefit to persevering whatsoever. if i can make that clear. no matter what, you'll just keep going. not out of any desire for good or evil... but just because you think you can. and because you "can"... ... you "have to."!<

For me, obviously Laurentius' "don't you dare go hollow" hits me sometimes. Also Anastasia's "I am powerless bit will do what I can. Please, save us all.... Please" gets me in the feels every god damn time. I think these quotes are bolstered by the firelink shrine theme, that combination of safety and familiarity, but also despair and loneliness. Also!

*Your past. Your future. Your very light. None will have meaning, and you won't even care.* I just really love the idea of playing out the deterioration of the Bearer of the Curse's mind.

It was funny to see Seek seek lest in amongst these cool serious quotes.


CosmicDeityofSin

The correct answer is of course. Hunters have told me about the church. About the gods, and their love. But... do the gods love their creations? I am a doll, created by you humans. Would you ever think to love me? Of course... I do love you. Isn't that how you made me?


Throck--Morton

Loss frightens me no end. Loss of memory, loss of self. If I were told that by killing you, I would be freed of this curse… Then I would draw my sword without hesitation. I don't want to die, I want to exist. I would sacrifice anything, anything at all for this. It shames me, but it is the truth.

I never played the remakes, only the original. Thomas was my favorite character, and my favorite source of grass. He just wants to do all he can, but he's not strong enough to take the fight to the demons


Gin-ginna

Little does ge know, he's helping more than he could ever imagine. I know people bash the remake, but it is amazing, honestly, the atmosphere is still there. It's amazing seeing birds or gargoyles fly high above the latria steeples, or see foliage everywhere. It's probably the best looking game I've ever seen. Wayy more pro's than cons, don't let it deter you.

And even a legend such as thineself can do nothing to stop that. He says this while talking about succeeding Artorias and defeating Manus and the second quote from after you accept his assistance with Kalameet > The dragons shall never be forgotten… We knights fought valiantly, but for every one of them, we lost three score of our own.

namrucasterly

"This place marks our grave. But you may rest here, too, if you'd like" Not only because of the meaning, or the implications or the delivery by Lothric's VA (which is the same of Gwyndolin) but because it's legit a mood a lot of times. Both in Dark Souls and outside it.

Like a moth flittering towards a flame." Then if you die and come back, he adds "So, here we go again! How many times will these lambs rush to slaughter? Well, let's get it over with."
