📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros

- Adds missing modern effects like AO and DOF that make Anor Londo pop.
- Tuned specifically for Dark Souls, preserving the game's atmosphere.
⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- When installing ReShade, pick the DirectX version that matches your Dark Souls edition (9 for Prepare to Die, 11 for Remastered).
- Disable the game's built-in depth of field in the options menu to avoid double DOF effects.
- Use ReShade's in-game overlay (Home key) to toggle effects on/off and find the right performance balance.
