Mirage got permadeath which I absolutely adored. Did my first playthrough with it on and it was the most tense and immersive AC experience I've ever had, I don't think anything will rival that. (Heard they patched out the option to do it on a first playthrough later and I think it's a big mistake)

Haven't played Shadows but heard it got the Nightmare difficulty added post-launch.

Is there a chance BF:R gets something? I haven't played it yet and would love to just have one playthrough on the hardest difficulty possible.

I happened upon this subreddit nearly a year ago to this day and since then I've watched video after video and read post after post of yall getting through these games.

And that pretty much built up the desire in me to try it as well.

And now I've conquered my first ever SL1 - DS3 + DLCs

What an absolutely exhilarating experience. Almost every boss after Pontiff was a highlight. Sister Friede was fucking crazy, took me nearly four hours and I was still so panicked by the end. Demon Prince was the hardest of the lot, by the time I got done after four hours I'd pretty much mastered the fight.

Midir, Gael and Soul of Cinder were beautifully designed fights that made me feel amazing even as I played them.

Just a thank you to this community for existing!
