I played Elden Ring and it quickly became my favorite video game. I still watch lore videos on youtube and it’s been more than a year since I played the game. I played Sekiro later and adored it for both the gameplay and lore. I want to get into darksouls, and I’m pretty lore-oriented. Do I need to start from DS1 or can I jump into DS3? Would love any thoughts. Thanks!
A majority of DS players started with 3! If you like it you can play the older, jankier entries
I dug into a fair bit of lore when I had the time, they can each stand on their own though you will find fun things if you look across all of DS 1-3
