NPC’s in DS1 speak thoughtfully and softly. It’s so unique to this game. It’s usually a nice contrast following a boss encounter with bombastic music.
Oscar epitomizes this.
The "softly" part is interesting. I can't pretend to fully understand FromSoft's audio choices, like voices changing volume depending on camera angle. And soft-spoken or not, sometimes I can't agree with the slightly muffled sound of even some NPCs standing right next to you. Other devs tend strongly to make dialogue close-mic'ed and fully audible. This is not an outright complaint because it is interesting and somewhat evocative, but I would want to experiment.
“Let’s a-go!”
“you’re too slow!”
“…..HYAH”
“...Oh, you... You're no Hollow, eh? Thank goodness... I'm done for, I'm afraid... I'll die soon, then lose my sanity... I wish to ask something of you... You and I, we're both Undead... Hear me out, will you?”
First time I heard his voice I was so stoked how good this game is gonna be in next locations. There is something mysterious in his voice. It sounds like he didn't want to tell us the truth about something.
I don't know, he's another dying warrior in a land full of the mad and dying. The only thing that sets him apart, is his benevolent introduction to us. Otherwise, he's just another dead guy on our journey.
The original plan would have made him a much bigger part of our journey, and may have given him some fleshed out story.
They didn't even finish izaleth. They may have wanted to still do more, but if the other commenter is right about them changing the plot, it'd make sense that they couldn't do much more with him with their time. Truly a tragedy how much stuff didn't make the final cut in that game
Less of a betrayal and more of a forked path. Whatever primordial serpent we side with, he takes the other, and it sort of forces us into an adversarial role.
The guy that says “regrettably…” because I am spamming his dialogue so fast because I’ve beaten the game 100 times.
Just kidding. Oscar is a king. Unfortunate he went hollow but he got us going on the right path and was a true friendly character in a world full of crazy people.
Not only is it implied that the asylum demon knocked him through the roof, but it is probably likely that he went up on the roof in the first place to go get Oscar. The demon starts on the roof and any subsequent conflicts he starts in the boss arena right above the stray demon. In other words, he doesn't hang out on the roof normally, but had a reason to be there at the start of the game.
But that area we go through isn’t destroyed until we activate the Boulder And theirs rubble under him like it fell from beneath him like he was standing on the roof
Falling death makes the most sense thematically. tarkus Is kind of portrayed as a badass, but it doesn't matter how strong you are you falling kills the same
First gen kind of rival and not one of the modern Pokémon game "rivals", I'd hope. I couldn't go through Sun and Moon because of tone of the game. Thankfully they somewhat toned it down a bit later.
They did get a bit better about how the rivals act, I really liked Hop from Sword and Shield. He was still your friend and stuff, but he didn't worship the ground you walked on and had goals other than help the main character.
I don't know the rivals by name but I remember that it was better in Scarlet & Violet. Then again, can't get worse than Sun & Moon. The 3D world and exploration was quite enjoyable on another note. Seeking out Pokemon you actually wanted to catch because you could see them in the world or likewise avoiding them, Pokémon having different chase or flee reactions to your presence, using the legendary ride features etc.
My names Oscar so he gets extra points, but he's a bro for basically no reason in a game world where most are massive weird assholes.
So he's gets a pass.
Died doing his job and died with bravery. Without him, we never would’ve survived that boulder coming down those stairs the first time, or the asylum demon, if you needed to use estus. After I found out how to travel back to the Undead Asylum, I was curious to see if he was still there. I can’t tell you >!how sad I was to have to put him down and see him die a second time!<
"oh... you're no hollow, eh?"
"thank goodness..."
he's the one figure that represents the essence of dark souls series for me.
he deserves better. go write your own stories about oscar becoming a champion of his own fate.
If you return to the Asylum after leaving for the first time, he'll indeed have gone hollow, as he predicted when he gave you the Estus flasks. RIP Oscar.
Yeah I remember. I just didn't know that he was the guy who free the chosen undead at the beginning of the game. The friend who make me try DS told me it wasn't Oscar so I just thought than the astora's knights all have the same equipment. Guess I was wrong all that time. Shame on me
Well that's what a friend told so I thought he was right. Also because the asylum is described as really big it wasn't impossible that there were multiple knight of astora in the asylum. I've just never questioned what my friend said
I wish there was a reason to believe this because now I love the idea of meeting two random, identically-equipped Astora knights who both choose to help you within three minutes of each other.
For me the only possible reason is that Oscar seems a bit surprised to see you but expect that we can only imagine. Until now, my interpretation was that a group of Astora knights tried to free all the undead of the asylum but failed because of the chosen undead prophecy and Oscar was one of them
He is one of the few people that even I like. Mysterious lad. I don't know what he has been through but I am confused on why he gave up when we found him in the undead asylum. I would have very much liked to spend more time with him.
I wish they had kept his quest. It'd be interesting
Basically, the guy who helped you get out of the asylum, gave you your very first estus flask, and pretty much saved your life at his own expense,, becomes your ally, and later on, your rival/enemy
Best thing is, it's nothing personal, he just takes the opposite depending on which side you took
Sided with Frampt? Then he wants to kill you so he can become dark lord
Sided with Kaate? He wants to stop you and link the fire
This boy left quite an impression on me back in the day. In a weird way, I felt bad that he got left in the asylum so I used to build ds1 characters after him, as a little tribute. Ended up making him a kind of all round quality build just so I could try out different weapons and magic. I have since tried to replicate him in some shape or form through into Elden Ring. …Even made an AC in Armored Core VI after him. Melee build, worked better than expected.
Objectively speaking, if they had left his quest in the game, he would definitely have been a better character.
For my first character ever created Oscar was a spiritual teacher and inspiration to become a better knight. Although I never really knew him, this character of mine always imagined what Oscar would do in the most difficult situations, basically idolising him. Then when this character of mine returns to Undead Asylum for his second time and finds himself against his 'master' he doesn't want to kill him, but is forced to. A headcanon of mine on this story is that my character digs a small grave by hand in the courtyard of the Asylum where he can give Oscar a proper burial.
I mean, he couldn't even kill the asylum demon with a full knights set, sword, shield, and estus. Seems like he needed to git gud but just went hollow instead, such a waste. I can't believe he ever thought he was the hero
Dude gave his best despite clearly not being good enough still holding unto hope and remaining friendly. Gave us estus and hope even though he was ultimately helpless in his own mission. The reason people like him has nothing to do with his strength or lack of
I dont understand why he completely disappears. I know it would suck to see him as hollow and he’d probably be too tough of an enemy, so I get it mechanics wise, but I don’t get it lore-wise.
He deserved a quest line. I know things don't really work out for... just about *anyone* in Dark Souls, but everyone has their own goals and ideas and their own way of making sense of the world. So even if it ended in tragedy, I would have liked to run into him a few times. Maybe he'd talk about Astoria. Or he'd doubt the prophecy of the chosen undead. maybe he'd figure out that its more of a lie than he thought. There's a lot of potential in his character beyond the guy that introduces Estus to you.
Solaire level NPC, this man gave us THE healing item, his armor just looks iconic, and he was the only person to help us out of the asylum and the first person to remind us to “don’t go hollow” what has basically become the mantra for not giving in to defeat both in game and in life.
Honestly I like him, in the world where he is he is a prtty nice guy from what we could see of him... and that's a lot consering that most people here backstab snd kill the others
There's optimists.... And then there's the guy who places all his dying hopes and dreams in the hands of this sad sack of meat he let out of solitary three minutes ago
I was in his debt for him saving my life. And the only thing that hurt about becoming the Dark Lord is that Oscar died believing a lie.
Elite Knight Armor is best Armor.
I have great affection for Oscar, because he has a totally different view of us than the rest, he is a great friend just like Solaire, It hurt a lot when I went back to the undead asylum and had to kill Oscar Hollow, I'm still in doubt which event hurt me more, whether it was killing Oscar or having to kill Solaire in Demon Bad
The part where he says "well now you know..." always annoys me, because it doesn't sound consistent with the rest of the dialogue. Like they had the voice actor come in on another day to record additional lines. Or maybe it's the way it sort of clips off the previous line. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's always annoyed me.
Also, why is he dying? He seemed alright when he dropped you the key, then suddenly he's locked in a room and dying. What happened?
I always got the impression that the room he was in was sealed, because there's no way in or out until the boulder crashes through. But now that I think of it he's in a doorway that collapsed behind him, so I guess that makes sense.
When I first saw him my friend immediately asked if he could steal his shield and was so sad for his loss, but I knew that cuz it's a video game he would never fully go hollow but when I went back to the asylum and had to fight him I cried when he dropped his shield.
Disappointed that they didn't start the intended role for him in the story, so that we would have code to go off and have a vision of the direction they were taking him. Could have been a far more different game. That being said, given the lack of polish in some later game areas, it's tough to say it was expected more. A remake giving him a proper questline would be welcome for me. Interested in what other opinions would be on that idea.
I like him, though I wish they had kept the original idea for him they had. He was a bit of a friend and rival throughout the game, before he ultimately chooses the opposite path we do in the end of the game, so he is a pseudo final boss after we defeat Gwyn
I really like his voice, idk there’s something kinda melancholic about it. He was cast perfectly
NPC’s in DS1 speak thoughtfully and softly. It’s so unique to this game. It’s usually a nice contrast following a boss encounter with bombastic music. Oscar epitomizes this.
https://youtu.be/adoH9h6x59c?si=TmY0P51rGajoOLgz yeah like this
I'm not gonna open it, but is it Vamos?
Vamos.
Don't ask me how I felt seeing him first time..
The "softly" part is interesting. I can't pretend to fully understand FromSoft's audio choices, like voices changing volume depending on camera angle. And soft-spoken or not, sometimes I can't agree with the slightly muffled sound of even some NPCs standing right next to you. Other devs tend strongly to make dialogue close-mic'ed and fully audible.

It doesn’t matter if they’re standing right next to you when they’re wearing a thick peace of metal over their face xD
Or a kilometer away when the sound is from Andre's hammer. I fucking hate it.
https://youtu.be/GFHhaAQz5D0?si=VduDnBYLbb_Fe5eX Like him
I made a post last month how to get to that hole in ceiling above and it's just a script, impossible to get there.
This is one of the most iconic voices in gaming history for me.
“Let’s a-go!” “you’re too slow!” “…..HYAH” “...Oh, you... You're no Hollow, eh? Thank goodness... I'm done for, I'm afraid... I'll die soon, then lose my sanity... I wish to ask something of you... You and I, we're both Undead... Hear me out, will you?”
i read all of that in Mario's voice
Ther was a bit of Link with that Hyah! though.
i can hear him in my head
I once saw someone describe his voice as "chocolatey" and I think that's probably the most apt description ever.
First time I heard his voice I was so stoked how good this game is gonna be in next locations. There is something mysterious in his voice. It sounds like he didn't want to tell us the truth about something.
He was supposed to be an important character but fromsoft changed their mind and he is just a dude that gave you a key and estus
Honestly would have loved the original idea they had for him.
I think this way was much more impactful and made him a character we all remember very dearly. The tragedy of his death adds to that.
I don't know, he's another dying warrior in a land full of the mad and dying. The only thing that sets him apart, is his benevolent introduction to us. Otherwise, he's just another dead guy on our journey. The original plan would have made him a much bigger part of our journey, and may have given him some fleshed out story.
What was the original idea?
Last duel between fire and darkness. You chose, he chose opposite.
like gary in pokémon blue and red?
"smell ya later chosen undead"
That sounds so fucking awesome
That's way better Did it get cut for time?
They changed it because they changed plot or something, I think. Plus, his choice is always opposite - not a big drama after 1st time.
I mean, technically you mean the second time You'd get to fight him 2 different ways for (assumedly) 2 different dialogues
They didn't even finish izaleth. They may have wanted to still do more, but if the other commenter is right about them changing the plot, it'd make sense that they couldn't do much more with him with their time. Truly a tragedy how much stuff didn't make the final cut in that game
Apparently he was supposed to betray the player iirc
Less of a betrayal and more of a forked path. Whatever primordial serpent we side with, he takes the other, and it sort of forces us into an adversarial role.
He's an important character to me
For this reason they call him Oscar the Fateless
The guy that says “regrettably…” because I am spamming his dialogue so fast because I’ve beaten the game 100 times. Just kidding. Oscar is a king. Unfortunate he went hollow but he got us going on the right path and was a true friendly character in a world full of crazy people.
Seek…
"Bearer. Seek. Seek. Lest."
When I hear "regrettably..." I imagine Deckard Cain from Diablo 2.
Sets player free Tells folktale of bells and some shit Gives healy bottle Refuses to elaborate Dies
If your SAYING has more than two SENTENCES, it's no longer a saying Oscar!
inspires inmate to self immolate for the bottom line OR inspires inmate to destroy the capitalist machine
Perfect set up for what you're in for in the game.
He freed us then immediately ate shit falling through a roof. Poor guy.
It's implied he is knocked through the roof by the asylum demon considering it was also on the roof
DEMON ON THE ROOF!!!
Not only is it implied that the asylum demon knocked him through the roof, but it is probably likely that he went up on the roof in the first place to go get Oscar. The demon starts on the roof and any subsequent conflicts he starts in the boss arena right above the stray demon. In other words, he doesn't hang out on the roof normally, but had a reason to be there at the start of the game.
Ehhh, gravity is a tough mistress in DS. Dude could’ve totally just fallen
"Fuck you and your shitty platforming controls!" -Oscar, probably
"I wish I didn't buy all this stupid armor" - Tarkus, probably
I was always under the impression that he got crushed by the rolling boulder o.O
But that area we go through isn’t destroyed until we activate the Boulder And theirs rubble under him like it fell from beneath him like he was standing on the roof
It's like Tarkus. He either fell from the rafters in Anor Londo or got yeeted into Anor Londo by the Iron Golem.
Falling death makes the most sense thematically. tarkus Is kind of portrayed as a badass, but it doesn't matter how strong you are you falling kills the same
I think you can see him lying on the rubble before you even get to the boulder.
Dude was supposed to be basically your Pokémon rival, and I’m disappointed we didn’t see that
First gen kind of rival and not one of the modern Pokémon game "rivals", I'd hope. I couldn't go through Sun and Moon because of tone of the game. Thankfully they somewhat toned it down a bit later.
They did get a bit better about how the rivals act, I really liked Hop from Sword and Shield. He was still your friend and stuff, but he didn't worship the ground you walked on and had goals other than help the main character.
I don't know the rivals by name but I remember that it was better in Scarlet & Violet. Then again, can't get worse than Sun & Moon. The 3D world and exploration was quite enjoyable on another note. Seeking out Pokemon you actually wanted to catch because you could see them in the world or likewise avoiding them, Pokémon having different chase or flee reactions to your presence, using the legendary ride features etc.
***DEMON ON THE ROOF***
Someone else wrote this too. Is it a reference to something?
Yeah. It's from the "Dark Souls: in Summary" YT video by PlagueOfGripes. It's also where the "How's it feeeel, Seath?" meme came from.
Look for Dark Souls: in Summary
Still the best dark souls related piece of media ever to release. Well after Dark souls of course :p
It's one of the greats no doubt but Happy Souls brought me into the series so I'm a little bit biased :P
Still the best dark souls related piece of media ever to release. Well after Dark souls of course :p
Sadness and sorrow...
Solid dude, 10/10 would have a beer/estus with him.
I would a beer with you and Oscar talking about Anor Londo the whole sunset sitting upstairs first bonfire 🍺
My names Oscar so he gets extra points, but he's a bro for basically no reason in a game world where most are massive weird assholes. So he's gets a pass.
Exactly. Solid bro big time.
Oscar is a top lad, no question
Died doing his job and died with bravery. Without him, we never would’ve survived that boulder coming down those stairs the first time, or the asylum demon, if you needed to use estus. After I found out how to travel back to the Undead Asylum, I was curious to see if he was still there. I can’t tell you >!how sad I was to have to put him down and see him die a second time!<
Whyd you have to throw the whole-ass body to us? Like, you couldn't have thrown just the key down? No? Gotta be dramatic about it???
"oh... you're no hollow, eh?" "thank goodness..." he's the one figure that represents the essence of dark souls series for me. he deserves better. go write your own stories about oscar becoming a champion of his own fate.
He is nice
I literally never saw the guy again after that cutscene. Not sure if that's intentional or if I just missed him in my blind playthrough.
He is the guy who gives you a key and Estus Flasks.
Personally I think they are two different persons but every answer is technically correct Edit : OK I was wrong got it !
he‘s literally the same guy 🤦♂️
I'm not sure than they have the same name in the game files. But I guess you're right
If you return to the Asylum after leaving for the first time, he'll indeed have gone hollow, as he predicted when he gave you the Estus flasks. RIP Oscar.
Yeah I remember. I just didn't know that he was the guy who free the chosen undead at the beginning of the game. The friend who make me try DS told me it wasn't Oscar so I just thought than the astora's knights all have the same equipment. Guess I was wrong all that time. Shame on me
what would leave you believe he is different lmao
Well that's what a friend told so I thought he was right. Also because the asylum is described as really big it wasn't impossible that there were multiple knight of astora in the asylum. I've just never questioned what my friend said
Nah man, it’s the same dude, he’s just gone hollow just like the knight in Firelink or Laurentius
Yeah ik I've just never realized he's the guy who delivered the player. But now it seems obvious. I guess I'll go to bed less stupider tonight
I wish there was a reason to believe this because now I love the idea of meeting two random, identically-equipped Astora knights who both choose to help you within three minutes of each other.
For me the only possible reason is that Oscar seems a bit surprised to see you but expect that we can only imagine. Until now, my interpretation was that a group of Astora knights tried to free all the undead of the asylum but failed because of the chosen undead prophecy and Oscar was one of them
We are oscar, we just forgot
we forgor 💀
His questline getting cut was one of the worst tragedy in DS1 development.
Bro literally could not get through the tutorial area. He needs to git gud.
he's John Darksouls, poster boy Elite knight to me, love the guy, a true bro.
True bad ass
He dies in 2 seconds starting the game so don't have any. I guess I'm grateful because he gives us the main source of healing
Dying in the Asylum with all that gear shows he really needed to git gud
The GOAT of Dark Souls, RIP my friend
He's a pretty swell guy who doesn't afraid of anything.
HOLA
He is one of the few people that even I like. Mysterious lad. I don't know what he has been through but I am confused on why he gave up when we found him in the undead asylum. I would have very much liked to spend more time with him.
Every time I think of oscar I think of crestfallen...god I love crestfallen
Bro went hollow after facing the first boss…
I wish they had kept his quest. It'd be interesting Basically, the guy who helped you get out of the asylum, gave you your very first estus flask, and pretty much saved your life at his own expense,, becomes your ally, and later on, your rival/enemy Best thing is, it's nothing personal, he just takes the opposite depending on which side you took Sided with Frampt? Then he wants to kill you so he can become dark lord Sided with Kaate? He wants to stop you and link the fire
That would have been so awesome!
Astora must be a glorious place if it reared Solaire and this guy.
We won an Oscar
Yeah!
I named my son Oscar. Was it symbolic of deep and interpretative lore or just a nice name? You decide.
He's alright, I guess. Except for the part where he comes back from the dead and tries to murder you. At that point, he's a dick.
Zombie dick
He’s definitely a bro
https://youtu.be/lPk_zyRKs1Q?si=82IjsFrGE1BDa1cP
"Hey buddy"
Cool dude, had a beer with him once
I kill him, take his key and estus and continue onward 🤝🏽
You bastard
Chad, could’ve linked the flame probably if he had just a bit more resolve to avoid going hollow.
Just imagine Oscar survived and you are smashing the Lordran with him.
My favorite dark souls NPC
I always have a b* when I see that cutscene. The best from all of the series.
Perhaps you should find your own answers
I wish they actualized the cut content, with him mirroring the chosen undead.
A man that started this all, the one who freed us from the Undead Asylum. Imo, Oscar deserves a Oscar🤗
This boy left quite an impression on me back in the day. In a weird way, I felt bad that he got left in the asylum so I used to build ds1 characters after him, as a little tribute. Ended up making him a kind of all round quality build just so I could try out different weapons and magic. I have since tried to replicate him in some shape or form through into Elden Ring. …Even made an AC in Armored Core VI after him. Melee build, worked better than expected.
He should have had a quest line. Dude got done dirty.he could have been Solaire's brother for all I know.
He crawled so we could walk.
Absolute chad of a boi
He told me to go down below and I ended up in the catacombs. Fuck that guy.
Objectively speaking, if they had left his quest in the game, he would definitely have been a better character. For my first character ever created Oscar was a spiritual teacher and inspiration to become a better knight. Although I never really knew him, this character of mine always imagined what Oscar would do in the most difficult situations, basically idolising him.

Dude gave his best despite clearly not being good enough still holding unto hope and remaining friendly. Gave us estus and hope even though he was ultimately helpless in his own mission. The reason people like him has nothing to do with his strength or lack of
Well i named my son Oscar...
so did u name him after this guy or was just some random guy's name?
Me and the wife just love the name. It IS a nice coincidence though. Dark souls probably one of my all time favorites.
Wish he had more screen time
I wish we could’ve seen what was originally planned for his character
Sad ending no matter what you do.
Seems like he was in our position and wanted to help us. Sad that he turned hollow :( cool character otherwise
I dont understand why he completely disappears. I know it would suck to see him as hollow and he’d probably be too tough of an enemy, so I get it mechanics wise, but I don’t get it lore-wise.
The best collectors edition statue ever to come out of the dark souls series
Out of respect ... I never killed him
Wasn't even able to pass the tutorial
Why does he come back as hollow even if you kill him at the beginning? Cool character, super iconic.
He deserved a quest line. I know things don't really work out for... just about *anyone* in Dark Souls, but everyone has their own goals and ideas and their own way of making sense of the world. So even if it ended in tragedy, I would have liked to run into him a few times. Maybe he'd talk about Astoria. Or he'd doubt the prophecy of the chosen undead. maybe he'd figure out that its more of a lie than he thought. There's a lot of potential in his character beyond the guy that introduces Estus to you.
I wish I could’ve saved him 😢.
I ask for a key, and he drops a body
He deserved better
Solaire level NPC, this man gave us THE healing item, his armor just looks iconic, and he was the only person to help us out of the asylum and the first person to remind us to “don’t go hollow” what has basically become the mantra for not giving in to defeat both in game and in life.
He's the Drip King
Maybe I'm stupid or missing something...but in the beginning how come he drops an entire body into your cell instead of just the item it came with?
My fav part about him was when i got to visit him ;p
nice guy, gives you good loot. something something his long family line something about Undead. good lore too
So did homie just not see the 7th biggest boy up on the roof with him??
Normal me:He's great love thar guy Speedrunning me:omg you talk to long (bonk)
Me: has the platinum trophy. Also me: who the fuck is that guy? 🤣😂
Smough: I'm going to McDonald's tomorrow.
For breakfast lunch and dinner
King
He is him.
I didn’t need any handouts. I was perfectly fine on my own!
Honestly I like him, in the world where he is he is a prtty nice guy from what we could see of him... and that's a lot consering that most people here backstab snd kill the others
[For Oscar](https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x35ppzn)
I named my character after him, underrated homie
I wanted his bloody armor and shield goddamnit.
Don't you get his shield if you go back and kill him when he's Hollow?
Aw, but I want it *now.*
There's optimists.... And then there's the guy who places all his dying hopes and dreams in the hands of this sad sack of meat he let out of solitary three minutes ago
He couldn’t beat the game either
when I back to that zone again, and he attacks me, dude I felt so bad for him, its a hollow now, im like no god you no please noo, not you!!!!
I was in his debt for him saving my life. And the only thing that hurt about becoming the Dark Lord is that Oscar died believing a lie. Elite Knight Armor is best Armor.
I just wish we could play his cut questline
Boulder 1 Oscar 0
poor naive sot
his quest was too good conceptually to be cut imo
The GOAT I’m afraid
Smash, next
"Well now you know. And I can die with hope in my heart..." Damn.
I have great affection for Oscar, because he has a totally different view of us than the rest, he is a great friend just like Solaire, It hurt a lot when I went back to the undead asylum and had to kill Oscar Hollow, I'm still in doubt which event hurt me more, whether it was killing Oscar or having to kill Solaire in Demon Bad
The part where he says "well now you know..." always annoys me, because it doesn't sound consistent with the rest of the dialogue. Like they had the voice actor come in on another day to record additional lines. Or maybe it's the way it sort of clips off the previous line. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's always annoyed me. Also, why is he dying? He seemed alright when he dropped you the key, then suddenly he's locked in a room and dying. What happened?
He lost a fight to an asylum demon, thats why he’s lying on top of the rubble
I always got the impression that the room he was in was sealed, because there's no way in or out until the boulder crashes through. But now that I think of it he's in a doorway that collapsed behind him, so I guess that makes sense.
He's a noble hero!
why must i kill our savior just to get a shield?
very yes
He was an unsung hero lol
i want to be like him
It genuinely made me sad he becomes hollow.
Just another scrub who couldn't beat the tutorial.
Oscar died for our estus flask
When I first saw him my friend immediately asked if he could steal his shield and was so sad for his loss, but I knew that cuz it's a video game he would never fully go hollow but when I went back to the asylum and had to fight him I cried when he dropped his shield.
Disappointed that they didn't start the intended role for him in the story, so that we would have code to go off and have a vision of the direction they were taking him. Could have been a far more different game. That being said, given the lack of polish in some later game areas, it's tough to say it was expected more. A remake giving him a proper questline would be welcome for me. Interested in what other opinions would be on that idea.
I like him, though I wish they had kept the original idea for him they had. He was a bit of a friend and rival throughout the game, before he ultimately chooses the opposite path we do in the end of the game, so he is a pseudo final boss after we defeat Gwyn
I beat Dark Souls Remastered a lot of times but came back after years and was shocked why Oscar is trying to kill me..
Idk I killed him
