The Duskbloods takes some ideas from tabletop RPGs, according to FromSoftware director Hidetaka Miyazaki. Miyazaki said that “some parts of The Duskbloods are very similar to a lot of RPG elements you might find in a tabletop RPG.” The game is not just about fighting other players. You can earn Virtue by completing side objectives, defeating mini-bosses, and taking control of areas on the map. There is also a Sigil system that can create different relationships and objectives between players. One Sigil lets you propose to another player with a bouquet of flowers. They can accept it or attack you.
