Until the DLC came out, it was basically agreed that the Dark Lord ending was totally the best, but the DLC plants the doubt that the Dark Lord ending could potentially be terrible.Quote:
Manus spreads the Abyss. Manus is likely the Dark Lord.
If you choose the Dark Lord end you become the Dark Lord and spread the Abyss.
The Undead are not immune to the Abyss taint because all the people in Oolacile were corrupted (except Dusk) and turned into the Bloated Head hollows.
Both endings are bad ends.
You have no evidence that the Dark Lord is who spreads the abyss by being nature of the Dark Lord. Manus spreads it because he's an insane undead nega-being who lives in it. While there's evidence that could point to him also being the Pygmy, we have no evidence that the Pygmy was an undead. There's an equal chance that Manus is just one of the first "humans" who was born when the Dark Soul split, and thus has a much larger part of it, and thus is far more accustomed to the dark.The people in Oolacile weren't undead. They were just regular people. I never mentioned undead specifically being immune to the abyss, or even that they were immune. Just that humans seem resistant as compared to beings of light.Oolacile is a particular case also, because they purposefully went and dug Manus up. It could be that Manus is just fucking rustled off and spreading the Abyss at a much faster rate, creating the humanity sprites and the bloated head hollows because nobody has the chance to adapt to the dark.When you give everything a cursory glance, it seems like the dark is a completely evil thing, but if you really look into it, there's a lot of ambiguity. They did the same kind of thing with Solaire. They set him up to look like the Firstborn, but if you end up killing him, his armor very clearly states that he basically made it all himself and it contains no power at all, and that Solaire was just basically the best on his own merit.
