Father Gascoigne is a tough fight in Bloodborne, but all the tougher when you consider his back-story. He’s a husband, a father to a young girl and in his eventual madness he eventually makes an orphan of his child. Actually, technically, you the player make an orphan of Gascoigne’s child. All in all it’s a pretty grim tale.
And this grim tale is retold in all its glory, all its brutal detail by lore academic VaatiVidya. The man who continues to pretty much explain to me what the hell is going on in From Software games. As always he does a fantastic job of eking out meaning and narrative from lore descriptions and all the vague, obscure references that From Software tends to use in order to create its spellbinding universes. Many of you may have moved on from Bloodborne, but this is a great reminder of its fantastic world. Top notch video.
