Because the weapons durability is repaired at each bonfire.
Only need to repair at blacksmith if weapon breaks completely.
Or so I read.

Have you found/tried the Falchion? It's my current weapon along with the Heinde straight sword
No, dark souls story isn't really needed for the sequel. Enjoy the gameplay and the atmosphere.

Ok so a game mechanic question that I'll put into spoilers
how the heck do I restore the life I lost when I die? I'm at half health and butting my head against the wall
Use a human effigy and you'll be all fixed up.
You can use a human effigy but apparently it also respawns all the enemies in the area and puts them at NG+ difficulty. Also they seem to be a bit rare :x
Just make sure that you use it from the normal item menu and not the bonfire menu.

I am only just out of the starting area and in Majula, but can already tell I'll love it. It's absolutely dripping with an incredible atmosphere and I am just taking my time, getting my bearings and taking it all in. However, I did make the mistake of attacking the hungry-hungry hippo looking guys and promptly got turned into a snack. Yep, this is Dark Souls alright.
Gameplay-wise, it feels kind of different, yet the same. I guess the best way to describe it is that it seems to play with a bit more fluidity. I like it. I am going to have to get used to jumping with the L3 press, though. But I suppose it feels natural enough and will become second nature in no time. Good times and many deaths await!

No but you'll definitely miss out on some very awesome cameos and easter eggs.
Game has never been lore heavy, and this is technically a "different time".
I would say to play the first two games anyway just because they're amazing in their own right.

Just received black armor edition from amazon, and steelbook case is all bent and crushed. Super. Or course can't return for replacement.

So any explanation as to why weapons repair themselves? After beating a boss? Using a bonfire?

I don't think the two game stories are really connected. If you still want to understand it there is a great youtube series you can watch.
Dark Souls The Movie
There are eight chapter so far.
Here it goes:

Haha. I'm waiting for the PC master race version, so kinda wish hadn't spoiled myself on this, just to see my reaction. From's trolling hard it seems. Good stuff.Uh guys I need some help regarding wooden chests.I've been preemptively attacking them fearing they might be mimics, it destroys them and gives me some Rubbish. Is it because there was indeed a trap or did I inadvertently destroy the content of the chest?

drains durability sooooo fast though

My god, every time I use my white stone I'll have to restart the game (lost connection to server)
Yeah, they repair at bonfires. But if the red indicator below the weapon depletes before you do, it breaks and you have to take it to a smith.

Look at all that blood stains around that loserbros pit, hehe. I want to learn on my own how to get to the bottom of it .
I changed it to B(O) on the 360 because well L3 wasnt working...a little awkward for sure ,my first death came when they tell you how how to sprint and jump,and roll,or Backstep,all using B now for me...I have a swordsman but I think before I go to far I will change class...

Why are all the streamers so terrible, where is epic name bro where is his play through =(
So you can change it back to tapping O/B while sprinting? I may go ahead and do that myself. It's just what I am used to.

Playing this on PS3 right now. I have a huge smile on my face, whose twisted mofos at From Software still got the touch! I love how the game starts off with an optional challenging foe, most newbs would crumble under its strength but not the well trained like us! Loving it so far, can't believe it's really here.
Go to the bonfire to light it. You get prompted to light it near any bonfire or lit sconce.

Yeah I'm loving the auto-hide ability of the HUD, it's great.
Spent about 40 minutes in the character creation. They really expanded on the options.
Kinda sucks how few hairstyles there are but the ones they have at least look much better than in Dark Souls.
Can't wait to play more of this
Till this frail hope shatters.
Lest this land swallow you whole.
As it has so many others."
It already has me in it's grasp.

Old Dragonslayer, the Giant, and Pursuer?

Finally home! Now for many hours of Souls goodness. Ahhhhhhhhh.
I haven't really had a chance to look at the art book or listen to the soundtrack, but the map is pretty sweet and the figurine is of decent size and quality. I'm glad I got it.

Is explorer potentially one of the better classes to start with? It includes the petrified something, which means you can chose one of the other items.
Bird's nest after the Pursuer
I can't remember exactly, but I don't think it was anything spectacular.
That was, honestly, one of the only times I've groaned while playing the game. (assume that all of the rest is a mid-game DS2 spoiler)
In Dark Souls, Blight Town had low visibility but you could tell that the draw distance was really far (which caused the framerate drops on consoles). Here, the version of Valley of Defilement/Blight Town that they have on offer doesn't have very far of a draw distance at all. Getting through is one part crap shoot and another part squint. I wasn't impressed.
people who have problems with the online multiplayer, are you in the US? I noticed there's a restricted/open server-option in the menu. maybe that would cause the issue? I couldn't summon anyone but a looooot of people summoned me (and very quickly, I might add). just curious what's causing those summon errors.
I'm worried because in Dark Souls a mimic dropped the lightning spear, which was a super good weapon at that time. Do you remember if this one drops a weapon?

Question about the one of the enemies. Not that spoilerish.
There's this guy in white armor just sitting near a tree near that ambush. Is he a enemy or do I have to do something before he'll talk to me?
You need to
buy the key to his shop from the vendor at the bonfire in the forest of fallen giants.
So I haven't picked it up yet (was planning on waiting for the PC version but I'm getting a little antsy) but after skimming the last 5 or so pages and not seeing too many overall impressions I was wondering what the consensus is so far?
I'm guessing: Different, a little clunky, but still good although too soon to say whether it's a worthy entry?
