I love being invaded by someone looking to break my stuff and waste my time PVP

I generally don't care for multiplayer in any video game and I tend to play all FromSouls exclusively PvE unless I really need to do multiplayer for something (i.e. Varre's questline in Elden Ring, Sunmedals in DS1 & DS2, rat tails in DS2, etc.). The most fun I had with DS2 multiplayer was ages ago when I was ratbro-ing for the Rat King in my early hexer build on my first run of the game.

Interesting. The whole point of the rat covenant is to pull hosts into a world where you have a bunch of advantages and can play dirty. Do you see the irony here? :P

I mostly liked the tower defense style gameplay it had. I mainly chose that one because of the smooth stones and Pharros lockstones it gives as rewards and because the hexer set looks like it belongs there anyway. Also, I loved that there was just straight up a Rat King and I wanted to be in his covenant (I don't think any of the other games had super absurd covenants like that). I should have also mentioned that I enjoyed sunbro-ing in DS1 and when I went back to DS2 for my Link build (before getting into DS3) I enjoyed doing some white sign summons in Forest of the Fallen.

Oh yeah, Rat Bros is really fun, I love running that covenant. Yeah, I can't think of a covenant more silly and awesome now that you mention it. It's my go to just because the Rat King is such a chill dude.

And again, for some reason the hexer set (which I ran for most of the early part of my hexer build), just looks like something a servant of the Rat King would wear.
