I like the Fire Long Sword way better as the "Drake Sword" equivalent. It gets stronger upgrades and it's moveset is awesome.
You could still go Raw on it.

If you like that moveset, don't worry, by the time you get to the point in the game where it starts to feel a bit weak you are going to come across a very nice upgrade, hope you got another Slab for it.
So I was aiming to make a Templar Knight thingy, not dissimilar to the one they showed in early trailers... but I wonder if I need to many stats for this to be viable (in PvE).
Current level is 71 with vig 15, end 15, vit 12, atn 13, str 20, dex 18, adp 8, int 5, fth 18. Middling stats all around. I'm not that far into the game I think actually, just beat
and
, and next I've got my pick between
and
. I've not yet reached the point where I've been offered respecs, don't think I'd like to restart the game though.
Reason I've been going after so many things was that I only really touched on miracles and such very late in the first game, and it seemed like fun yet I don't really want to go too light armor as I'm kinda terrible at dodging. Should I just abandon some stats when I get the chance?
I guess I should look into magic weapons with my Fai, but the Heide thing I found seems a bit disappointing compared to the "normal" weapons I have, such as the Vargarian (sp?) Sword, which unfortunately breaks quickly and doesn't have much of a range.
tl;dr: I want to be everything but a sorcerer. Maybe an astronaut

My Great Club has been breaking so much that I decided to Bonfire ascetic the area where it is located and grab another one. Got two of them at +10 so I just quickly swap when one is getting down in durability.
The small white soapstone strat is really great too, just put your little sign down, kill a few enemies and you are good to go. I put one down randomly as I am progressing and get picked up every so often. Especially in the later game areas where you only need to kill like 5 enemies it's a really efficient way to leap frog your way through areas.

Um, I am very early on, question about a possible NPC I killed:
Heh, I know that's Dark Souls, just wonder what I missed out on.
ANother NPC I have the urge to kill
Guy in the tunnel, he was crying about his map I think. Name was Cale? Well I just thought he was a dead body faking it and I realized too late he wasn't.

That Pate guy with the spear...I love spears, and he seems pretty shifty. Hmmm.

You can get it without killing him later on.

I'm about 4 hours in on PC, level 41.
Played about 30 hours on PS3...
I've beat 4 bosses already, yet I don't seem to have the soapstone thing that you can drop to let people summon you.
Where is this at?

Both soapstones are in
Forest of Fallen Giants, one is in a chest in the room above Cardinal bonfire, the other you need to go through the area that Pate locks you in, then talk to him afterward.

yes...but why give her much clothing? I giver a hollow warrior glove and the rest is her bare necessities.
The emerald herald has a nice voice, but cholanne is so frisky and provocative...i read that her weakness is back problems from carrying around those big "rocks" accompanied with too much tail, and I was hoping that she could make my ears and 'other' things perk up....she is good for one thing only it would appear....but I am not complaining.
its jut an achievement...he actually talk a bit about the other guy you hate....make sure to keep

Small stone is a floor above the 2nd bonfire in the Forest.

I notice Kay has started her PC let;s play...but if you want a good female voiced alternative, Heart Cooks Brain has been doing hers since PS3 launch...she has some pretty cool editing tricks and I like her "dirty mind" jokes.
I believe it is dark magic

If only there was a ring that improved movement in water. It is a strange omission for the game. Might not have had to nerf the area if there was one.
Although I do agree, they obviously chose not to for a reason...is what it is....I think a good alternative would have been to grant a ring which improves but does not eliminate the water slow down.

The PC version is not up to date with console, right?
So Shrine of Amana is pre-nerfed?
Or does it already include everything from consoles?

So are upgrade items super limited in this game? I noticed that the blacksmith only sells 10 titanite shards and as far as I've played I haven't seen a lot of enemies drop them. Are there people who later come to Majula and sell infinite amounts?

Everything except slabs will eventually be unlimited. All unlock at different stages.
I hate some of the decisions From made to change it from DS1, but despite that I'm now finally really enjoying the game 9 hours in..
Sloppy animation (even the main character's feet doesn't seem connected to the ground) controls lacking precision and sometimes awful hitboxes is very disappointing though. Very.

Waiting an oddly long amount of time to be summoned and then my sign disappears. A Blue Sentinel invades and I guard break and crit him, then it's a terrible ballet of missed attacks and chip damage until we end up killing each other at the same time -_-
I just wanna do co-op! Thankfully that fight returned my sin level to neutral.
Anyway, all done (end-game spoiler screenshot)

Almost time for New Game+! Just got a few more things to find and items to prepare for my second build.

Hokay, so I beat the
, and now I'd like to try helping people with that and with the PVP area. I can't figure out how it works though. If I put my sign down on the bonfire side of the bridge, the
is blocked by mist when I get summoned in. Inside on either the bridge or by the NPC, it won't let me place my sign. If I go up by the boss door I can put my sign down, but I seemingly never get summoned.
Anyone have any luck with this?
Edit: As soon as I posted I was able to put my sign on the bridge. Then 5 seconds later the mist blocked the door behind me and cleared my sign, but without saying any enemy was being summoned.

You should be able to put down your sign at the bridge and go back to the bonfire area. That way you won't get invaded every 10 seconds which is what makes your sign disappear.
So this was my second play through. First, playing on PS3. This went way quicker now that I knew where to go and what to do. I tried out a paladin build this time and it was a ton of fun zapping things with lightning and healing my co-op buddies in the name of the sun!
For those of you wondering, you can copy your save games and back them up. I played on a couple different desktops just fine. They aren't stored in the steam cloud so make sure you grab a usb. It is a great port that ran maxed at 1080p on my older rig and 1440p on my newish rig.
I played through dark souls 1 on pc just before this release. Its safe to say that dark souls has consumed all of my gaming time for the past couple of months. It comes down to great mechanics again and again for me. The games that stick in my mind share a common thread; they all feel amazing to play. Time to grab a guide and collect all the secrets and get some co-op in before I move onto ng+.

How do you play in 3D? You mean automatic 2D to 3D conversion by the TV?
I'm right before the boss in that area now, and I'm hoping to beat it the first time so I don't have to go through it again. So dark and creepy.

It's really annoying because sometimes it doesn't matter how fast you are sometimes. I literally would run in, put my sign and run back out. But sometimes you would step unto the bridge and immediately you'd get invaded. Here's an idea From, don't fucking let people get invaded if they're standing on the bridge. It's stupid because maybe they're looking for help or trying to put down their sign.

Oof, seriously? I was wondering why one of the easiest bosses so far was one of the Grand Souls.

I needed 2 tries to figure out how that boss worked. Very easy once you know his attacks, but he hits so hard that he can kill you very easily if you mess up at the wrong time

I am on my 2nd playthrough and just fought Sinner as a mage the first time. Brought
Lucatiel
I did the
Pursuer
How to get to him (it took me a while to find it heh):
You get a key after beating the Last Giant which you can use to open several closed doors in this area. Assuming you start out at the bonfire in the ruins of the forest, go down the ladder and continue to the ladders right, fight the hollows there and proceed to the outside. You will find a locked door again to the right which eventually leads to the pursuer area.
Woo! 15 hours in, got my first Grand Soul (
)!
I lost 9000 Souls by dying, respawning at that bonfire, and going afk for a bit without thinking about it.
