The only reason I can think they have not done it already, I assume it is because it would be too easy to cheese enemies. (lead them to areas where they cannot attack)

Loving this game so far. Such a challenge. Framerate is smooth and the visuals are pretty great.
Thought I'd try something different this time around and choose to be a sorcerer.

well maybe they an add special attacks to enemies for when they are in narrow corridors!
wouldn't that be awesome?

Someone explain respeccing to me, I'm scared to try it.
Ok, thanks. I guess for melee attacks, it isn't obvious if the spot the enemy is swinging at is locked immediately as soon as the downward part of the swing starts. Or if the melee attack is "homing", and the enemy will correct the direction of the blow and aim towards you on the fly, if you start moving in a different direction.
Guess it's something that can only be learned through trial and error, and observation of each enemy. Trying to determine whether to roll away from the spot where the blow will land, or whether to roll away from the thing that will hit me.
You just bring a Soul Vessel to one of the three hags at the very beginning of the game, allowing you to reallocate all non-class base points. There's nothing else to it, really, afaik. I think I've found three Soul Vessels so far just playing the game.
Lucky you it's got friends... There's more of them.

Questions about the ENB:
Is there a way to lengthen the adjustment time when going into dark areas?
Can it be used with Durante's tool?
Thanks in advance!

Haven't found a way to do that yet, the game crashes on start up.

Okay, my next question would be what is the general performance hit? I could just DS it through the control panel then.

Loving the difficulty curve to bits in this game, thought I was at the cusp of the endgame when I found out that I needed to
. This game is fucking looooooong.
time travel just to beat Vendrick
Performance hit when using an ENB? I haven't noticed a performance hit at all, I was using fraps to see the fps and it remained smooth like normal.
Not extremely significant (didn't try DS tho). No single drop from 60fps@1080 in ~7h on a 7870.

Shrine can be seen from Things Betwixt but it will be a while before you get there, it's in the last half of the game after you've acquired the 4 lord souls.
Swap out that Dragonrider Bow for a Sea Bow, it can be a painful farm
Varangian Archers in No Man's Wharf drop it
Use Iron Arrows for consistent damage to just about everything, Fire against every enemy except those resistant to it.

I levelled strength to 29 and did endurance up one more. Going to go farm one more level and get this tower shield.
Can someone explain what the effect is when your equip load is over 100%?

What is a really good, light shield?
I have been using the archdrake shield due to its 95% damage block and its cool aesthetic, but it's a bit heavy.
Check.

I ask because my custom Skyrim one halved my FPS. But this is good to know.
Thanks! I will try it when I get home.

It's the "wickfutENB Original" version. I haven't altered the others yet.

how resource heavy is the ENB? I have a laptop that can handle the game with most stuff in medium and some few things in high. Probably a low/mid tier when compared to others since this game is apparently not that hard to run.

Thanks for taking this head on. Great finds so far, It seems you are narrowing in on getting the settings to where they should be.
Try it, you move like a slug.
McDuff sells the Royal Kite Shield with 100% physical defense and weighs the same as the Archdrake. Anything lighter and your defenses levels will go down.

The durability of the washing pole is just ....uhhhh
I should check the durability next time before deciding to fully upgrade a weapon

Did we talk about how From Software got bought by a Japanese publisher?

Do you notice any performance dips when using this mod? What's in your machine?

I get a 10 fps drop on a 780.
Not really, since there's a thread for that. Hopefully it maintains the status quo as far as PC. That publisher is putting out the PC port of Killer is Dead, which will be released soon, so I guess I'm not too worried. I don't know why Bamco would sell From though.
Bamco didn't own From. They simply published Dark Souls 1/2 outside Japan.

Yikes. I'm on a 580 and I run at 60fps/max. I'll test this out for sure.

He's been the easiest boss so far out of the ~4 I've beaten
Only took me one try and I don't even think he hit me.
I've removed it.. too much lens flare and I can't be bothered figuring out ambient lighting settings for day and night as it means faffing about with dof settings for 2 hours.

Yeah, probably the only DS1-esque world layout connection of interest.
I'd be curious to see a world map of Drangleic actually. The one from DS1 was pretty amazing, as far as showing how each area was interconnected, and the overall layout of Lordran.
They were with a different parent company before the purchase. But yea, they self-published the Souls games in Japan.
I think it just heals you.
Wait.
WHAT.
Can you see the Shrine of Amana from Things Betwixt?
Screenshot plz.
Iron Keep?
To increase fire resistance for the boss, and to walk on lava and get stuffs.

I believe there is one floating around. Unfortunately, it's a mess.
Rolling around in that water will reduce the fire damage you take while running to the chest floating in the lava.
And temp gives you major fire resistance.
