Gamasutra - New Article Roundup

I found two more articles of interest on Gamasutra today. So lets start with the first one from David Canela about the sounds of Dark Souls.

I recently completed of Dark Souls and its great DLC. My, what a journey it's been! There are a couple of things that Dark Souls does, where I'm not sure if they might have been born out of budget limitations, but they end up creating a wonderful final result. Music is one of them. So let's have a look how the game handles it, as well as the ambiences. If you haven't played it yet: there's only very mild spoilers.

The second article is from James Cox about RPG character stats.
