Say no more. You are using a nice big great hammer then?

I once put what would be about 7 feet in a lateral direction off a spider while it crouched to make the jump onto my head. Somehow it magically appeared there and fucked me up good.
That was my only instance of it REALLY being off, but there have been other somewhat suspicious acts. And fuck arrow tracking.

Damn, anyone have an extra dispelling ring? I screwed up and now I can't get it this playthrough..

You can tell just by looking, the teeth are visible through the opened lid.
I always hit them once anyway, just to be sure.
Too bad the traps aren't nearly as deadly, they totally would've gotten me a couple times.
Great Club on most of NG, but i've managed to get those birds to lend me a Great Demon Hammer, finally... just in time for NG+.

Meh. I wanted to put down soapstones to help out with the Belltower and the fog closes behind me the moment I step onto the bridge.
I feel you. I also love PvPing in Bellfry, but you have a 50% or above chance of being invaded right after stepping in.
I came back a bit later for these so I might have been a bit higher level, but I just went with my DS1 tactic... keeping them one side, trying to get a bit of alone time with one, then rushing to the opposite side to get time to drink and hopefully one arrives earlier than the other two.

Man, I wish there were some kind of websites on which people would just give their created characters formulas. Whenever I try to make a male knight, I end up with some kind of a deformed monster looking character and I end up just picking the default ones.
Not as well as you might think, cause the gargoyles animate based on total health bar damage before they do based on time.

I usually start with default face and raising hormones to close to max masculine. Age somewhere in the middle of the bar.
Then I adjust the nose size,lower the eyebrows and lift the cheekbones a little and tilt the eyes angle + reduce spacing so they look less asian. The rest is just fine-tuning.
Avoid tweaking these things:
Nose (generally hard to get right so avoid)
Mouth (lips are okay)
Eyes (aside from color)
The slightest imbalance can cause a face to look out of proportion when viewed from afar.
Other things to alter only slightly
Cheekbones
Cheek fat
Jaws
Brow
Throw a lot of blue into the skin tone if you're darkening it.

You mean it scales with faith? I didn't know it had a divinity buff.
Put in all that work and the best you are gonna get will still look like a Real Doll.
No it doesn't.

oh you meant divine like it's good
Mayun, on my way through Shaded Ruins now, I felt kind of overleveled at SL80 until I got here, now it's a decent challenge if you're not careful with the enemies .
I like this just as much as the first, but I dunno if it's because I got gud. It'll be interesting to revisit Lordran afterwards.

What on earth did they do to halberds? First attack isn't guaranteed to do max damage, and sometimes doesn't even when you space yourself just right. Recovery time between attacks is long enough for you to get hit, completely defeating the purpose of the entire halberd class in the first game. It takes huge durability penalties for hitting an enemy after they're already dead. The way the weapon works basically invalidates the two-handed R2 attack. The shielded attack does pathetic damage. I thought it would be fun to use a halberd character after seeing the new moveset, but aside from pure damage output, this is garbage. I'm talking about PVE, so spin to win + lag insanity isn't relevant here.
In PvE I've had good success two handing a mastodon halberd myself but that may be due to my copious twirl abuse against anything and everything.
Try with bastards swords first and see if you like it then you could go to a pair of claymores afterwards.
You're going there to PVP... But you don't want to get invaded when you step in?
If you're trying to invade there just wait around any multiplayer enabled zone with the ring on (I usually just hang by the first bonfire in Iron Keep) and you'll be summoned.

Change every value one at a time - from top to bottom - in every advanced category. Begin by testing the min and max value of the slider before deciding where to put it. Using this method you can not only create something unique, but also something that you like the look of! This method is guaranteed to satisfy even the choosiest of character creators, though getting your souls back is not guaranteed.
A word of advice, though: if you have a bearded character, adjust it with the beard there for best results. (Just don't ever go hollow, you don't want to know what it looks like then!)
NinjaEdit: Tired of invasions? Play Dark Souls 2 on a Tuesday during Steam's routine downtime! Watch in amazement as you breeze through troublesome areas like the Doors of Pharros or Belfry Luna with ease!
There's some nice friendly phantoms that only spawn when the player is offline just thought you would want to know.

Those... aren't a problem. At all. Ever.
That bullshit area after the mirror knight fight...dudes, please tell me there is a bonfire anywhere in the second area near the 2nd fog. I played like 30 minutes and finally got overwhelmed when 3 magic guys, these dog like figures and two sword fighters go after you out of the blue. Very funny.
Even those at the bottom of the pit?

Things Betwixt spoilers:
I don't think I've encountered them. I'll have to check it out next time a Tuesday rolls around.
Does the genderswap coffin change anything other than gender? I'd hate to lose all the hard work on my character's face!

Nope it just swaps your gender. They are there till killed on NG+.
I did.
Settled for the Great Club mostly because of fashion souls' reasonings (it looked better with the character i was making at the time.
Noooo, nose and eyes are where you want to spend most of your time with, they are easy to fuck up, sure, but they give the most personality!
Here's 3 characters i created so far:
Last one has the fatty body.
Spent about 20 minutes on each.
Had another one (a black woman) but got the wrong gift and was incredibly frustrated by the idea of trying to recreate her.
Also another duder, but erased that save too.
Thread will be merged with the other one so no new thread.

I nearly forgot (or I did forget, I suppose) always check out your character from the sides before confirming. You don't want to mistakenly have a sunken chin or two-mile nose. Cheeks, nose, and chin can be pretty tricky.
NinjaEdit: I guess we had all best prepare for the merge by appending "PC" to the top and bottom of our posts to prevent any unfortunate mishaps when the threads are merged.

Well if we've moved on from fashion souls to genetic souls, here's my 3 bland dudes.
Worked thanks.
I'm like level ~190 and have been dual wielding a sword & mace this whole time. I recently found a Lance and the change is good, it hits hard and is fun to use. feelsgood
Champions Covenant on NG+ feels like the way this game was meant to be played.
Constant red & blue invasions, enemies that are as dangerous to you as you are to them. I'm really enjoying playing through the game feeling like I need to be ready for anything at any time.
After beating the game I was ready to hand the crown to DS1 but now that I'm seeing all of the new features and additions of DS2 on display with no restraints, I'm having a LOT more fun with the game.

Don't lie! Bland dude #1 is obviously
Wish I was home so I could post my unintentional Brienne.
Yo Khaleesi I'm really happy for you and I'ma let you finish but Lord Gwyn was the greatest ruler of all time! OF ALL TIME.
Have you seen her dragons?

Full of great arrows...
Yeah. That fight sucks. Near impossible to dodge that lunge attack. Just rush that bastard, stay under him and use your most powerful weapon + fire buff.
