Preface If I had to pick the roughest area of Bloodborne‘s worldbuilding, it would have to be the Executioners. Now, there are many parts of the game which lack narrative polish, at least on the environmental side, and this covenant is hardly far below the standard.

Preface When it comes to factions in Bloodborne, the Choir might be considered the most underutilized.

For rather than defy the church exactly, this colorfully-named group of miscreants challenges the methods of its hunters’ workshop. As hunters gravitated toward […]
