[/QUOTE] Who says that's the evil ending?[/QUOTE]

Just the way I interpreted it, and the way I played that particular character. One thing I love about Dark Souls is that it has it's own set of rules and tons of lore to delve into, but the endings are open enough to let the player decide what happened. Like, The Age of Dark doesn't necessarily mean that the entire world is going to be a black void like The Abyss, just the way I pictured it.

However, the reason I see killing Gwyn and not linking the fire "evil" is because of a few reasons. The first one being that there really isn't a lot left to protect humanity anymore. At the beginning of the game, I got the sense that the dragons were straight up evil, and the gods came together to overthrow them and bring prosperiety to the world. After time, they lost their minds and held onto these old beliefs that long since faded and cursed the world with undeath. Gwyn lost his power, Seathe went nuts, and the witches I don't know... turned into a tree? So the world was all chaotic while Gwyn desperately held onto this little remaining fire.

And despite overthrowing the gods and all that, I mean, what's really stopping the world from going into chaos? I don't know about you, but I don't trust one of those freaking serpents. Kaithe and Frampt both had conspicuous attitudes and all of them worshipping me at the end left me feeling uncomfortable. Besides that, there's still an eternal dragon left alive that could bring about a lot of chaos with his ancient foes gone.

Finally, The Age of Dark = The Age of Man, and men are a$$holes.

In the very least I feel that linking the fire strengthens it and brings about the possibility of prosperiety that existed when a stronger Gwyn held onto it. I felt that's the reason Gwynevere asked you to link the fire, and she seemed trustworthy... or maybe I was too distracted and she was just as devious as Frampt and Kaithe.

Of course you can make the argument that linking the fire is a bad thing since it keeps the whole undead curse thing going, and that the Dark Lord ending is good since you're essentially freeing humanity, in a sense.

And this is why I don't want them streamlining the story.

[/QUOTE] You do know Gwynevere was an illusion created by Gwyndolin right? And Gwyn was already dead by the time you get to him; he's just a mindless husk. Everyone just lies to you in the game. I like to think that you fall into a false sense of comfort from the games mechanics, i.e. lighting bonfires to restore health and potions, that you forget that you're strengthen the gods that enslaved man by feeding humanity to the flames. Along with listening to gods, undead (Solaire), and Frath who works for Gwyn, whom are trying to further their agenda you get caught up in the greatest lie in videogames since Cake in Portal.[/QUOTE]

I actually didn't know that. Beating the game a dozen times and discussing it on forums since it's release, I honestly had no idea about Dark Anor Londo.

Either way, I think both endings can be argued to be good or evil depending on point of view. There are always secrets to be learned, like how the cake isn't a lie in Portal :P
