I like the idea of a CV game in the same vain of the souls series. Hey!!! I have an idea: Maybe after the LoS trilogy is done, From Software could get a chance to make a CV. They did a great job with Demon Souls and Dark Souls. They just need to dial back the unforgiving gameplay a bit and make whip an effective weapon (they were practically useless in Dark Souls).
Let's see.....
Dark and forbodding atmosphere...check
Middle ages like location....check
pits, fall damage, traps, etc.....check
lovely architecture....check
monsters....check
castles, dungeons, catacombs, etc....check
yup. sounds like they would do a great job on a CV.
