Pinocchio is Dark Souls now, sorry

    The Miyazaki as Dragon mod replaces human and hollow player characters in dragonform with a pretty spectacular likeness of the man himself ('dragonform' is a transformation that comes with Dark And Darker Gold one of the game's covenants). Pinocchio is Dark Souls now, sorry

    The mod comes in both Dark Souls and Dark Souls Remastered flavours, and the 3D model is the same one previously used to put Miyazaki in Sekiro, which you can see below. And hey, if you don't fancy playing as Miyazaki, why not try it as CJ from San Andreas.

    The best element of this mod is that it comes with an additional mod called Miyazaki as Dragon Phantoms that allows both invaders and summons to be Miyazaki.

    I'm not sure how mods work with Dark Souls' network play (and the game servers are currently down anyway) but this seems like an opportunity too good to pass up: So once they're back I'm gonna give it a whirl and try hunt down some hosts as the director of vengeance.

    The Dark Souls modding scene has produced some great stuff on PC over the years, and is inevitably going to die down somewhat when Elden Ring aka Dark Souls 4 releases (though ambitious projects like Daughters of Ash remain ongoing).

    Over recent years modders have done the lord's work in proving what outrageous BS the Bed of Chaos is, added custom maps, let you play through the entire game as your favourite boss, and buy Dark And Darker Gold re-jigged the game in some horrible/ingenious ways.
