What's the point of insight in Bloodborne?

In Bloodborne, Insight is "inhuman knowledge" gained from the eldritch world, acting as a currency for special items in the Insight Shop, enabling summoning of allies, and unlocking lore, but also making the game harder by increasing Frenzy buildup and revealing invisible horrors like Amygdala, changing enemy behavior, and even altering the world's appearance at higher levels.

What is the lore of the messengers in Bloodborne?

Bloodborne messengers are childlike, zombie-like spirits born from the dream/nightmare worlds, serving as intermediaries who guide hunters, deliver messages, sell items, and facilitate online play, potentially representing the lost souls or "fleeting will" of deceased hunters or stillborn children of the Great Ones, explaining their childlike appearance and adoration for the Doll and hunters. They act as psychopomps, much like the mythological Hermes, ferrying souls and commerce (items) between worlds, and their presence signifies the connection to the cosmic horror and the cycle of the Hunt.

Is it better to have high or low insight in Bloodborne?

It's a trade-off: low insight keeps you safer by boosting Frenzy resistance and Beasthood, while high insight unlocks deeper lore, reveals hidden things (like invisible Amygdalas), enables co-op, and offers richer environmental details but makes the game harder by increasing Frenzy buildup and buffing some enemies. For a standard playthrough focused on survival, keeping insight low is generally better, but for a fuller lore experience and challenges, higher insight is beneficial, especially if you manage its downsides with gear or spending it at the shop.

Why is there no Bloodborne 2?

There's no Bloodborne 2 primarily because Sony owns the IP but FromSoftware (the developer) is busy and has its own priorities, leading to a stalemate; Sony seems hesitant to invest heavily in a potentially niche, single-platform sequel when FromSoftware is focused on multi-platform mega-hits like Elden Ring, and a sequel would need major agreement between Sony and FromSoftware's parent company.
