That shortcut will allow you to get to that boss from the Lantern. Super useful.

There aren't that many weapons from what I've gathered and most are fairly normalized so peeps can work on play style moreso than looking for an OP weapon. I still use the starting cleaver since I like the way it slices. Makes quick work of pretty much everything.
There is a strong emphasis on dodging and stunning vs straight overpowering foes. Tells from enemy and boss attacks are a lot longer than I'm used to seeing in Souls games which gives a lot more time to setup counters. Other than environment/camera issues bosses are fairly straight forward.
PvP benefits the most from this bit of normalization I'm seeing. Fights aren't so lopsided with crazy weapons. Then again this is the first week. I'm sure people will have the meta down soon enough.
For me, the hardest part of the game is the intricacy of level design. The connectedness is great but shit if I aren't being pulled in every direction when I see multiple paths haha.
I haven't received anything.... Huh. I guess just post it lol
I'm curious on what happens to BB in terms of the PVP side of things. I feel with what your working with isn't as "numerous" as the Soul games in terms of making trick builds.
I don't see a "Giantdad" type of thing that happened in Dark 1 happen here. Well see tho new game new meta.

So, how do you all go about finding the next place to go? Just explore, or have you found the coins useful at all?
So for those who now have a great feel for the game...how would you rank Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, Dark Souls II, and Bloodborne?
Difficulty:
Dark(was my first though)>>Dark II=Bloodbourne>>>>Demons
Like:
Dark>Dark II=BloodBourne=Demons

Noob question, how do you quick equip weapons and items? I'm sure I'd need it for Father G.

where abouts in the forest is that NPC?

Is the axe better than the great sword?
Hmm I wonder what it would be just at 25 and where it would be if you kept going to 50.
I've found an elevator that I believe acts as a short cut to
, but the levers at the top and bottom don't function. Is this right? Do I need to worry about the doors closing if I take it up to the closest lamp, go to Hunter's Dream, and come back to ride it down to the boss?

Start, the bottom row is your quick items.
On the weapon row, the first two are 1st and 2nd primary, then the second two are 1st and 2nd secondary.

What are those meters that started appearing in Old Yharnam at the top center of the screen?

QFT.
Yes. They got me three times. Down to 29 insight.
Huge spoilers:
I just found a path to the clinic. It was...not pretty inside. I had to put Iosefka down.
Nah just step inside. The levers only work to summon the elevator when it's not on that floor.
Searching at top of steps before his gate now.

Is there a way to map them to change without opening the menu?
PVP is stupid in this game, IMO. I've done some invasions/getting invaded in the frontier -- and while I'm proud to be 7-0 so far, the fights just weren't fun. healing is so fast, dashing and running are so fast, it's really impossible to stop people from running away and healing. if you actually have a numbing mist (which aren't easy to get, so you can't figure them into your standard pvp setup) and manage to land it, they can easily enough just bolt away.
every pvp fight is just a war of attrition to see who runs out of heals/gets bored first. you hvae to burn through 8 health bars to win.
and since you don't even spawn with potions like with estus in dark souls, if you want to keep pvping you need to go through 4 loading screens to farm and come back.
All of this would be one thing, but it's compounded by the lack of builds and items in the game. every character is essentially the same, being that there are no spells or miracles and very few weapons and no armor or poise. there's no builds to try out and try against other people. everyone's basically the same.

The... fuck? Spoilers regarding this:
When he grabbed me, I frenzied and he dropped me and I died from the fall.
I forgot about him, found the door later on after doing other shit, and when he picked me up... I didn't fight him right away, that's for sure. I also didn't die.

Either kill her or do her quest line. I killed her since her events can be bugged.
Stick to close range, they telegraph all the attacks.

You have to ride it from the bottom first, no need to pull a lever, just step right in it. Then both levers will be functional from that point to call the elevator if it isnt already on the level you want it.

The hooded enemies' attacks can cause poison. If that meter fills up, you get poisoned.
I feel like the PvP aspect was a secondary thought in Bloodborne from what I've seen so far
won't be as 'deep' and varied, the actual fights could be more satisfactory though with the new mechanics
Hmmm. I'm here. I wonder why you can't see me.

Personally I think the axe is better suited for taking on multiple difficult enemies, and for cheesing hard enemies around corners and pillars with its charge spin attack.

Yes, left dpad changes primary between the 1st and 2nd weapons on the 2nd row, and right dpad changes between the 3rd and 4th on the 2nd row.
You can only have two primary and two secondary quickswaps.
Man, so many people just killed her! D:
I wanted her alive since she is super cool, plus you get way more rewards for doing it like being able to
join her covenant.

So you can't quick swap Molotovs?
Idk. It SHOULD work lol.
I saw my connections were set to search local. I just switched to worldwide. Maybe that helped.

Push some buttons
Bottom DPad changes between all of the items on the bottom row of the Start inventory.
Spoiler mechanic (SORT OF, theres a tip in Hunter's Rest if you look)
Up on the dpad drains a chunk of health (smaller than a blood vial) for 5 blood bullets.

Ok don't judge me. I'm begging for my next lantern. I'm past that first giant bonfire and I see a few avenues to go. I think if I die and have to go back I may just lose it. I'm not built for this.

Father G is just the darkest i've ever felt in a video game ever.
Just a constant reminder of how insignificant my character no just in the game but in life.
