So I got Dark Souls Remastered for the PS4 and... Eh? It's enjoyable, however a few nitpicks here and there that I'd like to see if I could fix in a PC playthrough. Now I'd like to be notified if these mods already exist, otherwise I'd actually like to try my hand at modding the game myself, so I'm ordering these from seemingly the least difficult to make to the most difficult and complex. 1. An F-ing pause button Just Imagine being halfway through a boss fight when you suddenly realize, you really gotta pee. Or something else. Real life doesn't wait for your game. Unfortunately there's also a lot of video games that don't wait for real life. So as long as you're playing in offline mode, there needs to be a way to actually pause the game. 2. Better archery gameplay I looked up gameplay of both Demon's souls and Dark Souls 2 to see how they did with archery gameplay. As it turns out, they both do it way better. They have an actual targeting reticule. So what happened with From software on DS1? My hope is to be able to just import the archery gameplay from DS2 on PC directly into DS1. Creating a whole new archery system would be far more difficult. 3. Easier covenant advancement for offline players It is considerably more difficult for offline players to advance in covenants. The least difficult the ones that simply require humanity to asvance. So I'm looking for a way to earn Covenant specific items easier during offline play, and I've thought of a way to do that: 4. Boss Rush mode This is probably my most gleshed out mod Idea. Teleporting from any bonfire to a new cell giving you access to weapon Buy/sell/forge shops, and a boss rush mode that'll give you access to exclusive rewards, on top of the normal rewards you get from defeating those bosses normally. Now, you can only "boss rush" up to the last boss you defeated normally, however New Game Plus players can play against any of the defeated bosses of any past iteration, (meaning you can fight the first boss of a fresh game using a NG+6 character) I've thought about trying to reverse engineer the architecture of firelink shrine to make this Boss Rush area, creating the firelink shrine before it became a ruin.
