Then I saw Nerd did it.
My laziness is preserved!
Hooray for post-processing.
the horror... the horror
Do I put points in intelligence, faith, strength or dexterity?? I don't really know which to build a character around.
for now I would recommend only upgrading your stats to meet minimal weapon requirements (16 str/14 dex is a good baseline) and putting the rest into Vit and End
if you decide you want to use magic of some kind, you can invest points in Attunement and Int or Faith
note that pyromancy does not require any stats and scales solely with the level of your flame catalyst
I love that the director of the game actually seems to be thinking really hard about this sort of thing. Because as much as I love aesthetics, story and concepts of Dark/Demon Souls, they can be a bit of a chore for me to play. It's good to see he's trying to figure out ways to let as many people as possible experience his creation rather than going, "Fuck you, only hardcore gamers allowed."
EDIT: And of course I had to read the comments on the article, and it's a bunch of silly geese going "EASY MODE WOULD RUIN DARK SOULS!" as if someone playing on a different setting tarnishes their own experience.
reminder that this was the same dude who basically responded to "Hey so Demon Souls was pretty hard, are you gonna be making Dark Souls any easier?" with "Fuck you we're making it harder."
Huh, really?
Maybe he had a change of heart.
Or just realized he could make more money by broadening his base.
But I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt.
Also, I'm actually finding Dark Souls easier than Demon's Souls so far. Maybe this changes later on, though.
Yep. And if I knew what key function I needed to remap in order to check out inventory gear, I wouldn't have this problem in the first place.
Well shoot, I just beat that thing with the help of a phantom. Gota a big ass axe I can't use just yet, too.
I really like the ascetic of this game...gotta say that it's tough to play for too long once, though.

don't need any stats or anything for pyro, so you just keep your flame in off-hand or second weapon and then pick whatever you want, gameplay style-wise
and just make sure to get the flame upgrades lata on
my original guy was at sen's fortress when i stopped playing and i imagine going through there again will be a lot more tolerable when i can kill snakes with fire

Orik, these comments on the article I posted are making me really angry.
Angry enough to write a thing for your site.
It will probably be titled, "You're Doing It Wrong".
if u let dirty casuals play then i wont be special anymore
with the summons/pvp would they change the difficulty back to normal, adjust health and damage? Just give the easy mode guy a handicap on the normal'un?
ths game isnt what i paid for anymore i demand a regund, Steam
Maybe easy mode would just be completely detached from PvP.
You could still write stuff on the ground and summon dudes, but you couldn't invade and no one could invade you.
I'm tired of getting naked dudes with Murakumos showing up and Fire Tempesting me every time I go Human again
nope.
edit: Actually, just bought everything I need from the undead merchant and stocked up on firebombs and arrows, then I beat his head in w/ a club, so I'm gonna use his rad sword instead.
