Let's Play Demon's Souls Part 20

The end of 4-1. Not much to say, except that the Adjudicator is so easy it's just plain silly. Makes one wonder why the Adjudicator was the developers' favorite boss, considering how simple it is. Although the presence of the Adjudicator (and, in fact, pretty much every boss of World 4, as well as some of World 2) brings up some interesting questions. The Adjudicator isn't just some random demon. It was an actual being worshiped among the Shadow Men of the Shrine of Storms. Is the demon simply taking the form of one of a supposed deity out of some twisted amusement, or is it some actual creature, divine or not, that existed and was corrupted by the Deep Fog? Are you really killing a soul devouring demon, like the message suggests, or are you slaying a powerful entity that has existed before the current crisis? Perhaps it was something that once existed, long ago, and the Deep Fog has revived it and other ancient beasts. After all, a demon isn't necessarily a monster, is it? The player by this point is technically a demon as well, feeding upon the souls of men and beasts to not only survive but grow stronger.
