Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend and which "what if?" scenario would completely change the lore of a soulslike you've played?

Not a soulslike, but my fiancée and I have picked up Resident Evil Village and are having fun with that. Well, at least she is, watching me. :D Got a PS5 copy that's been acting up for some reason: constant crashing of the game make it near unplayable. Like 10-15 crashes per play session unplayable. Downloaded the game on PC and rushed up until where we got on PS5 - might play some later. Other than that, Slay the Spire 2 has me in its iron grip.

You could completely change the lore of any game if you come up with a super absurd "what if". But thinking of scenarios that would make sense in the lore of their respective game, what would you think of?

What if the ancient Pthumerian catacombs and the Old Blood were never discovered? Would it still have found their way to Yharnam by means of cosmic intervention?

What if P understood the King of Puppet and his message to P and acted accordingly? Leaving this somewhat vague since I know some of you are playing the game right now, and I don't know if you've followed all the bits of lore there are.

What if Sekiro had teamed up with Genichiro to fight against the common enemy, possibly succumbing to the corrupting powers of the Divine Heir's bloodline?
