That's an invisible numbers conspiracy."Īnd here's where we're going to get super technical about how Dark Souls works. And that stat doesn't even work the same way it used to work. The only thing they get told is there is a stat, poise, which does something during attacks. No way to tell if there even are situations in the first place. No way to tell what situation they are in. No way to see if their weapon even has poise. "They have no way to see in real time this variable changing. "A normal player cannot do this," he said. With this tool in front of him, Norwood was able to start getting answers. Norwood, who spent his college years studying psychology, knew how to set up an experiment and check evidence. "I turned the invisible numbers war into a visible numbers war." "I could put the game in windowed mode, stick the table next to the game window, and visibly see how the values changed," he said. He wasn't able to start coming up with answers until he stumbled on a cheating tool for the game that accidentally surfaced the poise number changing in real-time. You'll notice one important detail is lacking in that apology: an explanation.
