We hear you about the spoiler wall for BSC!
🕑 Added 2024-07-23 22:03:36 +0000 UTCThe comments seem to be in favor of lowering the spoiler wall. We'll take that into account, but I want everyone to know that the next two episodes are already recorded! So if you hear those and are like "God damn, why do these guys keep talking about that!" that's why.
If we make any changes, which we probably will, they'll show up a few episodes out.
Thank you for your patience and support my Omies!

CLARIFICATION EDIT: We're not going to suddenly be cavalier about late game stuff, or grand theming. It's more like not awkwardly saying "This has added context, but we can't get to it yet" quite as often. An example: we're going into the Belurat Gaol next episode, and though it only hints at what's going on with the jars, we might give it additional context. We know what's up with these jars. We won't talk about the whole conflict that the jars helped start though.

Sounds good to me :)

Just baffling that anyone is being one shot by literally anything this late in the game. Level vigor for gods sake.

Feels like The Empty Man podcast for Unfilmable may have been uploaded to Spotify on the wrong tier? I'm on the Unfilmable tier and can access the other episodes but can't seem to play this one.

It feels like the game has become, if you make a single mistake, or ever play imperfectly, you die. THE ROOF WILL KILL YOU.

I've been in the same, never ending dungeon, every room crushing me with spikes and a dozen imps than can one shot me, for hours. And I just wonder. Is this fun?

I appreciate the change. While I enjoyed your coverage of the original game, I was ahead of your coverage and spoiler-wall was one of the few disappointing features of the podcast. While I appreciated it in concept, as I sure some listeners hadn't gotten that far yet, it was way to restrictive.

I love that there is a new season of BSC though in my opinion 8 months to cover a DLC seems excessive. Yes I know that some haven't got onto it yet though most i'd imagine have already completed it and so to wait out 8 months to complete seems way too long. Of course you guys do what you want and feel is best - Just wanted to add that even going quicker would likely make it punchier, more engaging and prevent people dropping off. In any case, love this DLC (I would take one of these a year forever) and love the content as always.

Personally, I can’t STAND spoilers and they really bother me, so I greatly respect they you so clearly articulate spoiler warnings.
Justin Zode
Sounds good! I think many players will have made their way through the DLC by now, and four episodes is plenty of spoiler wall for those still getting through it. Thanks for being so responsive, and having a few episodes with spoiler wall is perfectly fine.

I think you guys care for the community as best you can, and it’s largely the reason I’m here (outside mega fandom for From). I just wanted to add (and know I’m not looking for repercussions) I’m a big ol’ lore simp so spoilers are big for me. Totally understand if things get spoiled early based on the information available, but with a game as big as ER I think that’s something worth additional consideration. I guess all I’m really getting at is I hope you keep your original Shadow Keep embargo that was implied

Don't see the need to lower the wall on late game stuff yet myself. But thats my 2 cents.
Charlie Frame
So be it then. Sounds good to me. I know previous walled episodes could sometimes sound so cryptic as to what you were actually talking about they gave even the most complicated NPC quests a run for their money

Show always comes out sunday. -GB

We're not going to just spoil the end, by any means. Just loosen up a little bit, saying things like "When you get to Messmer's castle" rather than "Gets revealed later" -GB

There's not a lot revealed about the plot that isn't advanced in the same area for a while (Go talk to this other NPC on the other side of the area, go look at these crosses nearby and so forth) so I doubt you're going to miss out too much by not talking about the story further on. Plus, you'll be busy with those omen dudes and their danged curved swords that refuse to drop for anyone without the minimum dexterity requirements.

Great news! Super excited!
Charlie Frame
I get the impression I play these games a lot slower and more methodically than other people. Might be a good discussion point for a Roundtable really, i.e. the different playstyles people have. That "point of no return" thing feels like it's deliberately punishing people who don't enjoy scoping out an area fully before moving on
Umair Khalid
Great
Mitchell Turner
Have an ETA on the next episode?
Jared Mogen
Same. My progress has been slower than I initially anticipated. But I suppose we can wait to listen if we really want to.
Logan
Regarding which show?
Ben Cook
Okay, thank you!
Joe Binson
Ah, I see, if true.
Victor
Pretty sure it's the Elden Ring DLC.
The Walking Man
I believe it is referring to bsc as they mentioned they weren't sure at what point they would start talking about major plot spoilers.
Richard Cochnar
Guess I’ve got two weeks to beat the last story bits
Joe Binson
Yeah, which game are y'all referring to?
Charlie Frame
Huh, has everyone honestly beat this thing already? I've been playing a fair bit and I'm nowhere near the end yet. If we must completely lower the spoiler wall, so be it, but I'd rather not have the very end revealed already

I want a dark souls 1 level deep dive with the care & research you guys did from the roots of this show that touches on the multiple philosophical takes the community have come to with with the themes. DEEP ANALYSIS-NO SPOILER WALL!!! (please) As always love the work you guys do, oombasa
Dewayne Kinnard
Unacceptable. I demand that you and Kole re-record those to appease me and my demands. I’m obviously joking. For what it’s worth I think it’s best to lower that spoiler wall asap. This dlc is so packed with revelations and answers so many questions it would be too much work for you guys and would be frustrating for everyone.
Ben Cook
I’m probably just missing it somewhere, but is this referring to RLH or BSC?
Colten White
Great choice!
Nicholas Prior
Thank you! Best decision was made
