Since the Duchess’s lore and backstory is connected to the Crimson Courtyard, I always brought her to that place and made sure she had the killing blow against all of the bosses... It just seem fitting.
@@MisterXenomorph Occultist can be a primary healer, but he's far more risk reward than the vestal. Crit heal of 60? why thank you Oh, this time it's 0 and I'm bleeding? :)))))))))
Still annoy me when mods characters has a big aniamted and visible breast. Like come one guys... control your desires for one seconde, this is not 80-90s european fantasy Althought this one character might be the only one where I find this design fitting, because of her crimson court origin, and the excess this place represent
Erutan Egaro I’d say the Duchess’ cleavage is actually rather fitting for her origin, that being the Crimson Court. It’s always rather extravagant, having a large chest, but at least it’s more thematically fitting than, say, the Picaroon or the Omen Seeker.
My favorite thing about DD is by far the virtue system. there's no other feeling in the world like getting your butt kicked in a dungeon, and being saved at the last moment by a clutch virtue.
And yet most of the time you get screwed by an affliction. And then the whole time I'm screaming "just shut the fuck up" everything they open their mouth and stress out the rest of the team.
For real tho, i feel like a leper wouldn't really care about syphilis, as he is already horribly disfigured, and losing some skin and cartilage wouldn't change much
my dad once instructed an occultist to inspect a bas relief in the cove. he got the message "a dark power surges through you." The occultist caught the runs.

Absolutely my favourite part of DD is how the game doesn't *only* subvert tropes, but also knows when to utilize existing tropes proper in combination with subverted tropes. If the game was just the opposite of what everyone else does then in its own way it would be predictable - but they know when to utilise something classic and when to put their own spin on something - or when to be totally original!
My favorite: It was the first game I saw where the cosmic horror is perfect. Even the action is balanced by stress and mortality, portraying human inferiority.
I can't help but feel like the Dutchess shares some elements of the Slayer, the type of character who is strong out of the gate but is balanced by the fact that they're best use is soaking damage due to how slow they are.
Can we stop for a minute and talk about what an amazing job the modding community has done with this game? The base is amazing sure the atmosphere is nice and all and so is the combat but there are so many interesting creations that people have made and I don't think the game would grab me any where near as much if there wasn't such an abundance of talent and skill coming out on a fairly regular basis
favourite thing about DD? the art style is just so unique and that combined with the dark theme of DD just makes the atmosphere just perfect. And of course the bone lads throwing wine at you I mean come on how can't you love that
Favorite part is easily how open the game is to modding (not disabling achievements is fairly uncommon) and how much care and respect is given to the game by the community to make sure mods fit the story. Also, welcome back.
as a part of the modding community of this game id actually say the opposite. the games code is incredibly wierd and restrictive in manny way. i have seen alot of mod concepts die because the code is wierd and restrictive
Easy and open aren't opposites. The point being is they allow modders and players a wide range of ways to change the game, how easy it is to do so is another story.

My favorite thing about Darkest Dungeon is that it exists. The whole game is a masterpiece. The theme, art, soundtrack and the sublime narration give a haunting feeling that hits me right in the guts. I see myself falling in love with the game everytime I replay it. Glad to have you back E5
There are many things that one can enjoy about Darkest Dungeon, so picking just one is going to be exceptionally difficult. After all, this game sports a very unique artstyle, challenging gameplay, a wide variety of party combinations, outstanding music by Stuart Chatwood and fantastic voice acting by Wayne June. However, the thing that I enjoy the most about this outstanding game more then anything else is the community that has sprung up around it. The DD community has always been warm, welcoming and helpful as far as I have been able to see. It has provided us DD players with loads upon loads of additional content to enjoy, ranging from class mods, skin mods, enemy and boss mods to even entire new region mods. Therefore I have to say that the DD community is what I have enjoyed the most about this game, and that is saying quite a bit.
my favorite thing about about DD is the narrator and the music, to this day even though i stopped playing DD long ago i still quote the narrator every now and then "The match is struck, a blazing star is born."
Best thing about Darkest Dungeon is how the community shaped the game, you can really see how a person likes to play when you see their mods list, there are crazy mods for crazy people, serious mods for serious people, and people who like to experience both at the same time or at different times (having them on separate files), and people who like vanilla, that only care about mastering the core mechanics, like a speedrunner. So, you can really play the game you wanna play, and not play the game the game wants you to play.
What I love about this game? The fact that it also stresses about the mental health of the adventurers, it tells to look after your own people in their current mental state. Not many games do the same, but you can see the barks of when they're Virtuous or Afflicted. And it either help or hinder the team to the point where it could cause a party wipeout, personally mine are the Man-At-Arm barks. I love how he was in over wars, lost men, and lost lives beside him. Afraid to lose more, or protect and push on forward the other classes in his party.
The thing I enjoy most out of darkest dungeon are the stories you create yourself. The equally beautiful and horrifying struggles of fantastic characters and environments, given by the game and its amazing community Good to see you back E5 :D
What I love about DD is it's atmosphere and the world it builds. And Wayne June's killer narraration wraps it all together for an awesome and immersive experience.
I originally found the game from Beartaffy. His reactions to the setting and narrator prompted me to pick it up for myself. I love the Art direction, the audio design, the setting, the voicework, The Challenging Game-play, and the characters. (Plague Doctor the best.) But what has kept me playing has been the Respectable business From Redhook in regards to their DLC, and the extremely Talented community. Thank you all for the artwork, Mods, Conversations, and general pleasantness. I am cautiously Hyped for DD2, Ready to descend into madness once again. Thank you all for being here with me.
The best thing about Darkest Dungeon is and always will be, the profound love for the rpg genre and the powerfull narrative that gives you when you see your heros figthing agains the odds.
My favorite things about Darkest Dungeon is the visuals, especially attack animations, and animations for becoming virtuous or afflicted, and the modding community for it, seriously the ideas the modding community comes up with are amazung.
My favorite thing about Darkest Dungeon is the modding community! From being able to connect with excellent people, testing new classes, and being able to make some of my favorite videos on them! I'm sure you can feel the same about this! Good to have things return to normal.
My favorite part of darkest dungeon is when you aren't sure if you will win or lose and you see that lucky high damage Crit or virtue and you jump in your seat because even if things looked terrible you have hope and you believe you can do anything!
My favorite part of DD is that in most games you are just told to fight until you can no longer and defeat isn't an option, but in DD defeat is allowed and expected, which mean sometimes you can push through and survive, and other time you simply need to bail if you want to keep everyone alive.
My favorite thing about DD is the uniqueness despite using thingswe know and are familiar with but making it into something new by twisting it creating this great atmosphere.
The best part of the game for me is the dark humor. It permeates every facet of the game. The dialogue, character art, abilities, dungeons just all of it.
I love the way tides can turn in a moment's notice. Bosses can be steamrolled then BAM you're scraping for the last bit of damage you need. The art style is absolutely phenomenal as well and overall you can feel the level of love Red Hook put into DD. Can't wait for DD2!
My favourite thing about Darkest Dungeon is the rushes of terror and victory that come with all the comings and goings within a dungeon. Sure, you can be basking in your glory one moment, but that can all change when you run out of torchlight or even just have string of bad luck. I think what I'm trying to say here is that it's, as the Ancestor himself says, the "gnawing uncertainty" of every dungeon and the true feelings of victory that come from completion or the absolute shame or horror that you feel when you are forced to run away that always keep me coming back.
My favorite thing about DD has to be the unbelievable talent of the community, marvin, claire, s-purple, and of course, you E5! And the list of talented modders keeps going. it really feels like a special happy tight-knit community we got here, and I love being a part of it!
I love the art, the setting, the lovecraftian horror, the narrator/narration, But most important I love that all of these come together and create fantasric atmosphere...
For me it's difficult to pinpoint exactly what i s the best part, because for me it's the sum of every parts. The artstyle, the musics, the great voice of Wayne June, the lore and even the community. It all works so well together!
The best thing about dd is the ambience, art style and the beautifully made narration. All these combined together make this a great game. I can't wait for dd2 to be realeased
My favorite part is the characters. I love the details of each and every one of them. Their barks are interesting and helps put them into perspective. Really makes them feel alive and unique from one another.
Awesome, my favorite thing about Darkest Dungeon is how the game doesn't pull any punches. If you make a mistake, you're going to feel it - but when you plan tactfully, it feels so rewarding!
The best thing in darkest dungeon is the perfectly crafted atmosphere moreover it has incredible art style, narrating, and a brutal unforgiving combat system. It is unforgettable! (:
Best part about DD is The atmosphere from it. Every corner, every fight, every curio check, feels smooth and dark. Also the fell from landing the crit or recieve it....... How quickly the tide turns
I love the uniqueness of the heroes you can get. Especially when starting the game, you can really get attached to some heroes that develop into epic characters for your hamlet.
I think what i like about DD is that fact it doesnt hold back on its difficulty. It designed made to make you suffer yet provide ample rewards if you take the risks
I love darkest dungeon, how challenging it can be and still be fun, the art style, the style of the characters, the community and the atmosphere, what's not to love
Thank you for all your videos. Although I don't play any mods, I immensely enjoy seeing all those community mods. And that is my favorite part of DD: the art, stories and flavor of the characters and world around them. Truly makes a man's imagination whirl.
My favorite thing about darkest dungeon is the amazing art style and the fantastic modding community that keeps me coming back after hundreds of hours.
I love the challenge the game has constantly forcing you to think instead of just click and go, and how the community can keep the game going with mods that change things up a bit.
I personally play her full human mode, using her fencer court trinket set. Buffing her repost and having a chance to just get an aegis when you get hit is amazing
My favorite thing about Darkest Dungeon is the sound design, everything from the music to narrator just fits perfectly with the atmosphere the game is trying to convey and even the sound effects of hits just feels good.
My favorite thing about DD is the overall thematic universe that is built up as you play. As you learn more and more about the game you're also learning more and more about the world and everything seems to just meld together in such a compelling and addictive story.
The thing i love most about Darkedt Dungeon is the possibility of modding it, and the overall theme of horror that it managed to capture making it one of the most unique games out there on the market right now
My favourite thing about Darkest Dungeon is probably the lore and how it works with the gameplay- I love the variety of enemies, bosses, classes, locations, trinkets, etc., and these are all facilitated by the BRILLIANT story (and narration of course) tying them all together. Without the cinematics, voiceovers, comics, pages, and so on, not only would the game lose something thematically and stylistically, but it would also lose a lot of the immersive justification for the gameplay, down to the Stress mechanic. The lore is like the foundation for everything else great about this game.
The best part about darkest dungeon in my opinion is how light affects how each dungeon raid gets affected, for example, in a normal dungeon, such as the ruins or cove, the darker it is, the more stuff you earn but the monsters get much harder to beat. I also love how the DLC areas have custom lighting effects which controls what could and most of the time would happen. It's amazing how a simple thing such as light can have such an effect on the gameplay
My favorite thing about Darkest Dungeon? Between the rich modding community, top notch memes and genuinely solid game itself? Probably how people are so willing to make other franchised characters more lore-fitting for their modded classes.
Imo, here is not "the" best Thing about DD. It is the whole thing which is just incredible stunning. Even tho, the whole artstyle and Theme is just my flipping favorite. Probably the reason i love this game so much :D
My favorite Darkest Dungeon elements are the bosses and mini-bosses, all requiring a carefully-thought group or strategy and making for really enjoyable and stressful encounters. This, coupled with Wayne June's voice as the narrator, really gives the game a lot of appeal.
The best part about Darekest Dungeon ? The "heroes". They're full of personality and their design is awesome. There isn't a single one I don't love (the best one is the man-at-arms). Good thing the community makes really good heroes too.
My fav things are the community, which is bloody amazing, and the game itself obviously, the sound design, the art, amazing. Noticing a lot of MLD members around the comments aswell, no big surprise, your return to our community is an extremely welcome one, as a matter of fact, you were the one to get me into the MLD in the first place, where i dwell since. Thank you so much for everything you have done

I love this game setting, gameplay, art style I've been playing since kickstarter and hardly see myself growing tired of this game, the mod community making everything feels fresh. (I am glady you're back E5)
My favorite thing about Darkest Dungeon is and has always been it unique atmosphere, it distinct artwork, and of course the one of a kind narrator that is Wayne June. The gameplay which make every embark out into the terrifying unknown take hours, letting you feel beaten down and wore. Having to fight monsters, beast, and fellow man from the darkest corners the mind human mind that any sane person could just barely comprehend. All the while the Ancestors quips and monologues make their way into your mind, letting you see and hear about the horrors this sociopath had done to achieve his goal, and make you wonder what kind of monster could kill without feeling, while the bodies fall at your feet. All to then coming home to the Hamlet a seen your soldiers tired and damage, the faces of the unfeeling and desolate townsfolk, and the knowledge that there can be no hope in this hell, no hope at all. If you couldn't tell, let me just say that I love this game so much.
I would also like to congratulate you on your recovery! I missed coming back home from a long day at school to dive right back into hell with you on your stream! Can't wait to see what you make now that you've recovered, and here's hoping that you can keep up the good content!
Really glad that you're back and that you're feeling better. Don't ever worry if you need to take time off for personal or health reasons cause we'd rather you be happy and healthy and releasing content at a slower rate, than pushing too much and making things harder for yourself. ^^ I could easily say that I love a lot of the mechanical aspects of the game, such as the soundtrack and the character designs. I could also say that I like the way that the community is really respectful and supportive of each other and the creators who have built not just minor alternations to the base mechanics, allowing us to change the game to the way we want to play, but full and amazing characters who seamlessly fit into the aesthetic and mechanical mold of the game and even in some cases entire new regions. But my personal favourite thing? My personal favourite thing is the little stories that develop in the course of the mission. Not enormous epic scenes like a lot of RPGs, but little moments that allow me to imagine a story. Like my Shieldbreaker being throw onto the pyre by the Fanatic, surviving an attack at Death's Door, then landing the critical to kill him. Or my attack on Brigand Vvulf in which three of my four heroes virtued and the afflicted Vestal still never skipped a turn or lost control. Moments when the pendulum starts swing back towards you and the RNG answers your prayers and says "Not today Darkest Dungeon. I can be a merciless god, capricious and cruel, afflicting you at the worst times and leaving the party dead in the dirt, good for nothing but feeding the swine. But not today. Today you will stand and YOU WILL NOT BREAK."
Thanks, Richard. I appreciate the understanding. I've been forced to make a lot of changes and learn new balance this year, and I'm grateful things are changing for the better.
My favorite part of Darkest Dungeon is how much care has been put in all elements, from the art that give the gloom darkness, the creative lore for every Boss and character, the music very firing for every area and situation of combat (Love the Cove combat music bdw), the narrator that will push you to excel and criticize when close to fail, how it clean with its number during combat mailing it easier to understand and make decisions. Basically love almost of all it, several times have been in the border of nerve braking trying to make my heroes just survive. Crunching numbers and gambling my chances. This game is an experience in on itself. :D
My favorite part of DD is for sure the crushing yet fair difficulty of BloodMoon despite a tasteful mount of RNG. Always fun and challenging, but you're never quite 100% safe
Duchess is the only extra character mod I use and the best one there is IMO. She fits into the game very well as the Crimson Court rep. Some people be like "but she's too busty"; first off, corsets do that, and women exist with this body type. It's not illegal. Second, the entire point of Crimson Court is excess, it's pretty fitting.
My favourite thing about this game? I could name every last bit of it but the most important to me is the atmosphere which had me on the edge all the time ^^
My favorite thing about DD is the intense lovecraftian horror atmosphere. The psychological brutality of the dungeoneering is something that is truly unique to this game and I can't get enough of it.
My Favorite part of Darkest Dungeon is its approach to difficulty, it toes an almost perfect line of punishing mistakes while still making sure you understand the reason behind them. it always gave me the incentive to give it one more try as i always had a general idea of how to get better
What draws me back to Darkest Dungeon time and again is the combination of wonderfully dark atmosphere, deep tactical gameplay and a massive commitment to supporting its modding community =)
My favorite part of Darkest Dungeon are its heroes, its atmosphere and the elation of surviving an encounter with any boss. Also wayne june's ancestor voice is just so quotable
For me, the best part about darkest dungeon is the moment when you are able to complete the quest even after a lot of things go wrong. That feeling of being nearly beaten to the point where you're barely conscious after the mission is accomplished.
Ah, SO GLAD to see this series continue! ^__^ Been using this class for a little while now. Sure, it'd be nice to get the comic (I'm sure someone will throw some money around to get it done eventually), but as it is now? It's fantastic, and you can clearly tell a lot of effort went into this mod. The overall look is extremely faithful to the game's style, but it's the smaller details that make this one of my favourite mods. The way her sprite's walking animation moves? They could've just gone with some dress-like swishing, but no, the sprite's been animated to clearly indicate she's not human. And not only that, but the mod makers gave her her own unique bark lines for various circumstances, while other modders would just use the stock library of barks. As for her gameplay, I really like how the modders made different sets of CC trinkets for different circumstances. I'm personally not big big fan of transformation mechanics in general, and there's a CC trinket set for that player preference, and I really appreciate that. I, too, like to start her in the back line- specifically position 4. That way I can hit with Noble Obligation twice before starting up the Ripostemobile. I've got one criticism, though: the Crimson Curse aspect of her character. I mean... she HAS it, but can still get it again? Yes, you could argue it's the Courtyard strain afflicting her, and I get that, but regardless of what beastly form she'd take, the fundamental cravings are still there. I'm guessing the modders just left it as is because it would be difficult to implement a workaround for her strain; plus if they did include that aspect of her, you'd have to be taking care of her condition ALL THE TIME. Still, I wish that feeding her some Blood would give her a boost, or heal her somewhat. After completing the Courtyard and being able to treat the Crimson Curse, your stockpile of blood just keeps building, only to be used if you're purposely giving character the Curse. One final thing: Leech?! I thought she was maybe some mutated millipede, fitting with the insect theme. That's just... Nope. Nope. Nope nope nope nope...
My favourite thing about Darkest Dungeon is the overall lovecraftian athmosphere and how the announcer adds to it. I hope they continue this theme in DD 2.
I enjoy that you can Plan and Strategize but are still forced to be quick on your feet if something wents wrong. Also i believe that Darkest dungeons modding Scene is fantastic to provide new and even different Wways to play.
My favorite thing about darkest dungeon is the overall atmosphere the game radiates. It does so through the ancestor’s dialogue, art style and music. It all meshes together amazingly.
My favourite thing about Darkest Dungeon is the art. Seeing multiple skulls in the cultists corpse, seeing a face on the pig drummers drum, and all the other amazing little pieces of detail that REALLY sells how creepy the game feels.
To me, the best feeling in the world is when everything goes badly, you're ramping on stress, your favorite character hits 100 stress, and then... VIRTUE!
Since the Duchess’s lore and backstory is connected to the Crimson Courtyard, I always brought her to that place and made sure she had the killing blow against all of the bosses... It just seem fitting.
My favorite thing about Darkest Dungeon is getting a 0 crit heal + self bleed proc at Death's Door.
It's honestly more insulting when it's a 1 because you technically did get healed
No...
Fuck the occultist. I learned the hard way not to have him act as a healer
@@MisterXenomorph Occultist can be a primary healer, but he's far more risk reward than the vestal. Crit heal of 60? why thank you
Oh, this time it's 0 and I'm bleeding?
:)))))))))
Did I mention a mod that makes him heal -1 instead of 0. Yep,as if 0 crit heal isn’t bad enough now we have -1 crit heal
The best part about Darkest Dungeon has got to be the art style and atmosphere. Wayne June also does a killer job as the narrator.
The best of his style.
Same :3 I'm not well versed in the eldritch lore/arts but it intrests me
Still annoy me when mods characters has a big aniamted and visible breast. Like come one guys... control your desires for one seconde, this is not 80-90s european fantasy
Althought this one character might be the only one where I find this design fitting, because of her crimson court origin, and the excess this place represent

Best thing about Darkest Dungeon is how the community shaped the game, you can really see how a person likes to play when you see their mods list, there are crazy mods for crazy people, serious mods for serious people, and people who like to experience both at the same time or at different times (having them on separate files), and people who like vanilla, that only care about mastering the core mechanics, like a speedrunner.

Thank you all for the artwork, Mods, Conversations, and general pleasantness. I am cautiously Hyped for DD2, Ready to descend into madness once again. Thank you all for being here with me.
The best thing about Darkest Dungeon is and always will be, the profound love for the rpg genre and the powerfull narrative that gives you when you see your heros figthing agains the odds.
My favorite things about Darkest Dungeon is the visuals, especially attack animations, and animations for becoming virtuous or afflicted, and the modding community for it, seriously the ideas the modding community comes up with are amazung.
My favorite thing about Darkest Dungeon is the modding community!
From being able to connect with excellent people, testing new classes, and being able to make some of my favorite videos on them!
I'm sure you can feel the same about this! Good to have things return to normal.
My favorite thing is how darkest dungeon shows tragic histories of heroes like abomination, leaper or story of darius the highwayman.
My favorite part of darkest dungeon is when you aren't sure if you will win or lose and you see that lucky high damage Crit or virtue and you jump in your seat because even if things looked terrible you have hope and you believe you can do anything!
My favorite part of DD is that in most games you are just told to fight until you can no longer and defeat isn't an option, but in DD defeat is allowed and expected, which mean sometimes you can push through and survive, and other time you simply need to bail if you want to keep everyone alive.
My favorite thing about DD is the uniqueness despite using thingswe know and are familiar with but making it into something new by twisting it creating this great atmosphere.
The best part of the game for me is the dark humor. It permeates every facet of the game. The dialogue, character art, abilities, dungeons just all of it.
My favorite thing about darkest dungeon is the community!
And you
love the profile pic mate
You mean, the community that makes overpowered uncensored anime characters? Why yes
I love the way tides can turn in a moment's notice. Bosses can be steamrolled then BAM you're scraping for the last bit of damage you need. The art style is absolutely phenomenal as well and overall you can feel the level of love Red Hook put into DD. Can't wait for DD2!
The best thing about Darkest dungeon is its fantastic atmosphere and the mods that manage to capture that atmosphere and even build upon it.
My favourite thing about Darkest Dungeon is the rushes of terror and victory that come with all the comings and goings within a dungeon. Sure, you can be basking in your glory one moment, but that can all change when you run out of torchlight or even just have string of bad luck. I think what I'm trying to say here is that it's, as the Ancestor himself says, the "gnawing uncertainty" of every dungeon and the true feelings of victory that come from completion or the absolute shame or horror that you feel when you are forced to run away that always keep me coming back.
My favorite thing about DD has to be the unbelievable talent of the community, marvin, claire, s-purple, and of course, you E5! And the list of talented modders keeps going. it really feels like a special happy tight-knit community we got here, and I love being a part of it!
I love the art, the setting, the lovecraftian horror, the narrator/narration, But most important I love that all of these come together and create fantasric atmosphere...
My favourite thing about the game is the wonderful community and mods, but also the theme of the game itself, and the tactical side of fights
For me it's difficult to pinpoint exactly what i s the best part, because for me it's the sum of every parts. The artstyle, the musics, the great voice of Wayne June, the lore and even the community. It all works so well together!
The best thing about dd is the ambience, art style and the beautifully made narration. All these combined together make this a great game. I can't wait for dd2 to be realeased
So satisfying when she swing her big fucking sword and crit.
One of the best riposte class.
My favorite part is the characters. I love the details of each and every one of them. Their barks are interesting and helps put them into perspective. Really makes them feel alive and unique from one another.
Awesome, my favorite thing about Darkest Dungeon is how the game doesn't pull any punches. If you make a mistake, you're going to feel it - but when you plan tactfully, it feels so rewarding!
The best thing in darkest dungeon is the perfectly crafted atmosphere moreover it has incredible art style, narrating, and a brutal unforgiving combat system. It is unforgettable! (:
Best part about DD is The atmosphere from it. Every corner, every fight, every curio check, feels smooth and dark. Also the fell from landing the crit or recieve it....... How quickly the tide turns
I love the uniqueness of the heroes you can get. Especially when starting the game, you can really get attached to some heroes that develop into epic characters for your hamlet.
Best part of DD is the mix of risk / reward with the gameplay. Also gotta love Wayne Jude's narrations
My favorite thing is probably the setting and atmosphere it's able to create and what it can make you feel.
the details in the music is genious how it changes with the light and just how it gives the perfect feeling of dread.
I think what i like about DD is that fact it doesnt hold back on its difficulty. It designed made to make you suffer yet provide ample rewards if you take the risks
I love darkest dungeon, how challenging it can be and still be fun, the art style, the style of the characters, the community and the atmosphere, what's not to love
Thank you for all your videos. Although I don't play any mods, I immensely enjoy seeing all those community mods. And that is my favorite part of DD: the art, stories and flavor of the characters and world around them. Truly makes a man's imagination whirl.
Thanks, Ophir! It's wonderful to hear that you enjoy these mod spotlights even if you don't play any of them. :)
My favorite thing about darkest dungeon is the amazing art style and the fantastic modding community that keeps me coming back after hundreds of hours.
I love the challenge the game has constantly forcing you to think instead of just click and go, and how the community can keep the game going with mods that change things up a bit.
I personally play her full human mode, using her fencer court trinket set.
Buffing her repost and having a chance to just get an aegis when you get hit is amazing
My favorite thing about Darkest Dungeon is the sound design, everything from the music to narrator just fits perfectly with the atmosphere the game is trying to convey and even the sound effects of hits just feels good.
My favorite thing about DD is the overall thematic universe that is built up as you play. As you learn more and more about the game you're also learning more and more about the world and everything seems to just meld together in such a compelling and addictive story.
The thing i love most about Darkedt Dungeon is the possibility of modding it, and the overall theme of horror that it managed to capture making it one of the most unique games out there on the market right now
My favourite thing about Darkest Dungeon is probably the lore and how it works with the gameplay- I love the variety of enemies, bosses, classes, locations, trinkets, etc., and these are all facilitated by the BRILLIANT story (and narration of course) tying them all together. Without the cinematics, voiceovers, comics, pages, and so on, not only would the game lose something thematically and stylistically, but it would also lose a lot of the immersive justification for the gameplay, down to the Stress mechanic. The lore is like the foundation for everything else great about this game.
It's the merciless gameplay combined with the dark, atmospheric look and style of the world presented through the hamlet and it's enviroments
They had a field day with the potential of this character! She is extremely fun to play with, and is definitely one of my favorite mods
My favorite thing about Darkest Dungeon is all the effort and love the modders put into their work.
The best part about darkest dungeon in my opinion is how light affects how each dungeon raid gets affected, for example, in a normal dungeon, such as the ruins or cove, the darker it is, the more stuff you earn but the monsters get much harder to beat. I also love how the DLC areas have custom lighting effects which controls what could and most of the time would happen. It's amazing how a simple thing such as light can have such an effect on the gameplay
My favorite thing about Darkest Dungeon? Between the rich modding community, top notch memes and genuinely solid game itself? Probably how people are so willing to make other franchised characters more lore-fitting for their modded classes.
Imo, here is not "the" best Thing about DD. It is the whole thing which is just incredible stunning. Even tho, the whole artstyle and Theme is just my flipping favorite. Probably the reason i love this game so much :D
My favorite Darkest Dungeon elements are the bosses and mini-bosses, all requiring a carefully-thought group or strategy and making for really enjoyable and stressful encounters. This, coupled with Wayne June's voice as the narrator, really gives the game a lot of appeal.
The best part about Darekest Dungeon ? The "heroes". They're full of personality and their design is awesome. There isn't a single one I don't love (the best one is the man-at-arms).
Good thing the community makes really good heroes too.
My fav things are the community, which is bloody amazing, and the game itself obviously, the sound design, the art, amazing.
Noticing a lot of MLD members around the comments aswell, no big surprise, your return to our community is an extremely welcome one, as a matter of fact, you were the one to get me into the MLD in the first place, where i dwell since. Thank you so much for everything you have done
Best thing about DD? The community, hands down.
The way they support each other through creating mods is fantastic. Super close-knit and positive.
i've waited for this one. Love the duchess

My favorite thing about DD is the wonderful and passionate community that has sprung up around this great game.
My favourite thing about darkest dungeon has to be the music composition across all the areas :)
I love this game setting, gameplay, art style I've been playing since kickstarter and hardly see myself growing tired of this game, the mod community making everything feels fresh. (I am glady you're back E5)
Thanks for hangin in there, felipe! Great to be making content again. :)
My favorite thing about Darkest Dungeon is and has always been it unique atmosphere, it distinct artwork, and of course the one of a kind narrator that is Wayne June. The gameplay which make every embark out into the terrifying unknown take hours, letting you feel beaten down and wore. Having to fight monsters, beast, and fellow man from the darkest corners the mind
human mind that any sane person could just barely comprehend.
All the while the Ancestors
quips and monologues make their way into your mind, letting you see and hear about the horrors this sociopath had done to achieve his goal, and make you wonder what kind of monster could kill without feeling, while the bodies fall at your feet. All to then coming home to the Hamlet a seen your soldiers tired and damage, the faces of the unfeeling and desolate townsfolk, and the knowledge that there can be no hope in this hell, no hope at all.
If you couldn't tell, let me just say that I love this game so much.
I would also like to congratulate you on your recovery! I missed coming back home from a long day at school to dive right back into hell with you on your stream! Can't wait to see what you make now that you've recovered, and here's hoping that you can keep up the good content!
Really glad that you're back and that you're feeling better. Don't ever worry if you need to take time off for personal or health reasons cause we'd rather you be happy and healthy and releasing content at a slower rate, than pushing too much and making things harder for yourself. ^^
I could easily say that I love a lot of the mechanical aspects of the game, such as the soundtrack and the character designs.
I could also say that I like the way that the community is really respectful and supportive of each other and the creators who have built not just minor alternations to the base mechanics, allowing us to change the game to the way we want to play, but full and amazing characters who seamlessly fit into the aesthetic and mechanical mold of the game and even in some cases entire new regions.
But my personal favourite thing? My personal favourite thing is the little stories that develop in the course of the mission. Not enormous epic scenes like a lot of RPGs, but little moments that allow me to imagine a story. Like my Shieldbreaker being throw onto the pyre by the Fanatic, surviving an attack at Death's Door, then landing the critical to kill him. Or my attack on Brigand Vvulf in which three of my four heroes virtued and the afflicted Vestal still never skipped a turn or lost control. Moments when the pendulum starts swing back towards you and the RNG answers your prayers and says "Not today Darkest Dungeon. I can be a merciless god, capricious and cruel, afflicting you at the worst times and leaving the party dead in the dirt, good for nothing but feeding the swine. But not today. Today you will stand and YOU WILL NOT BREAK."
Thanks, Richard. I appreciate the understanding. I've been forced to make a lot of changes and learn new balance this year, and I'm grateful things are changing for the better.
My favorite part of Darkest Dungeon is how much care has been put in all elements, from the art that give the gloom darkness, the creative lore for every Boss and character, the music very firing for every area and situation of combat (Love the Cove combat music bdw), the narrator that will push you to excel and criticize when close to fail, how it clean with its number during combat mailing it easier to understand and make decisions.
Basically love almost of all it, several times have been in the border of nerve braking trying to make my heroes just survive. Crunching numbers and gambling my chances.
This game is an experience in on itself. :D
My favorite part of DD is for sure the crushing yet fair difficulty of BloodMoon despite a tasteful mount of RNG. Always fun and challenging, but you're never quite 100% safe
I love the thrill that this game builds with every single step you take lerking in the dungeons
Duchess is the only extra character mod I use and the best one there is IMO. She fits into the game very well as the Crimson Court rep.
Some people be like "but she's too busty"; first off, corsets do that, and women exist with this body type. It's not illegal. Second, the entire point of Crimson Court is excess, it's pretty fitting.
My favorite thing about Darkest Dungeon, honestly, are the great little communities around content creaters like you and AdamvsEverything
My favourite thing about this game? I could name every last bit of it but the most important to me is the atmosphere which had me on the edge all the time ^^
I love the atmosphere DD gets with the music and the art, also the grimdark story :)
My favorite thing about DD is the intense lovecraftian horror atmosphere. The psychological brutality of the dungeoneering is something that is truly unique to this game and I can't get enough of it.
My Favorite part of Darkest Dungeon is its approach to difficulty, it toes an almost perfect line of punishing mistakes while still making sure you understand the reason behind them. it always gave me the incentive to give it one more try as i always had a general idea of how to get better
What draws me back to Darkest Dungeon time and again is the combination of wonderfully dark atmosphere, deep tactical gameplay and a massive commitment to supporting its modding community =)
My favorite part of Darkest Dungeon are its heroes, its atmosphere and the elation of surviving an encounter with any boss. Also wayne june's ancestor voice is just so quotable
For me, the best part about darkest dungeon is the moment when you are able to complete the quest even after a lot of things go wrong. That feeling of being nearly beaten to the point where you're barely conscious after the mission is accomplished.
Ah, SO GLAD to see this series continue! ^__^
Been using this class for a little while now. Sure, it'd be nice to get the comic (I'm sure someone will throw some money around to get it done eventually), but as it is now? It's fantastic, and you can clearly tell a lot of effort went into this mod. The overall look is extremely faithful to the game's style, but it's the smaller details that make this one of my favourite mods. The way her sprite's walking animation moves? They could've just gone with some dress-like swishing, but no, the sprite's been animated to clearly indicate she's not human. And not only that, but the mod makers gave her her own unique bark lines for various circumstances, while other modders would just use the stock library of barks.
As for her gameplay, I really like how the modders made different sets of CC trinkets for different circumstances. I'm personally not big big fan of transformation mechanics in general, and there's a CC trinket set for that player preference, and I really appreciate that.
I, too, like to start her in the back line- specifically position 4. That way I can hit with Noble Obligation twice before starting up the Ripostemobile.
I've got one criticism, though: the Crimson Curse aspect of her character. I mean... she HAS it, but can still get it again? Yes, you could argue it's the Courtyard strain afflicting her, and I get that, but regardless of what beastly form she'd take, the fundamental cravings are still there. I'm guessing the modders just left it as is because it would be difficult to implement a workaround for her strain; plus if they did include that aspect of her, you'd have to be taking care of her condition ALL THE TIME.
Still, I wish that feeding her some Blood would give her a boost, or heal her somewhat. After completing the Courtyard and being able to treat the Crimson Curse, your stockpile of blood just keeps building, only to be used if you're purposely giving character the Curse.
One final thing: Leech?! I thought she was maybe some mutated millipede, fitting with the insect theme. That's just...
Nope. Nope. Nope nope nope nope...
My favourite thing about Darkest Dungeon is the overall lovecraftian athmosphere and how the announcer adds to it. I hope they continue this theme in DD 2.
I love the Duchess. Unfortunately mine was recently killed in a run through the sunward isles. She was my only champion.
I enjoy that you can Plan and Strategize but are still forced to be quick on your feet if something wents wrong. Also i believe that Darkest dungeons modding Scene is fantastic to provide new and even different Wways to play.
My favorite things about Darkest Dungeon would be the Soundtrack ,Lore the fact that it reminds me of dnd, and of course the awesome Community
I like the hopeless atmosphere of the game and the creativity of the modding community.
My favorite thing about Darkest Dungeon is the artstyle and the challenging gameplay.
My favorite thing about darkest dungeon is the overall atmosphere the game radiates. It does so through the ancestor’s dialogue, art style and music. It all meshes together amazingly.
My favourite thing about Darkest Dungeon is the art. Seeing multiple skulls in the cultists corpse, seeing a face on the pig drummers drum, and all the other amazing little pieces of detail that REALLY sells how creepy the game feels.
To me, the best feeling in the world is when everything goes badly, you're ramping on stress, your favorite character hits 100 stress, and then... VIRTUE!
