>>81495181as I said before, thematically it's amazingly fitting, probably the most from all FS games - it turns blood into something to covet, something to stockpile, something to scrounge for even if it means bullying weak enemies over and over like a hungry animal and if you're short on it, you're forced to fight in a more aggressive and reckless fashion to take advantage of the Rally system and thus become even more like a Beast in pursuit of blood
regrettably, the gameplay loop it introduces is ass and feels outdated/step back from Estus
