Yeah, that seemed like the better choice. I was never a fan of spears in these games anyway.

Classes really don't matter beyond starting stats and items. All which can be obtained during the game.
No I definitely have the blue sentinels on. I'm soul level 43 and my weapons only +3. Whats the weapon upgrade range limiter?
According to the wiki it's +/-2, so if that's right you should be able to help anyone with a +1 weapon but not +0.
I was around SL 25-30 with a +3 Uchi up till the
Farrah Keep
The individual areas I've seen so far are definitely complex and sprawling and the world does seem contiguous, but since you have instant access to fast travel, you get less of a sense of overall cohesion. There's also less of a reason on the devs' part to make the world very interconnected and shortcut-heavy like Dark Souls 1, where you're looping back to older areas constantly, since they know most players are just going to fast travel.
I started as a merc. TBH I struggled early on with the dual wielding, and crap shield he gets. It looks cool though- kind of like Vernon Roche from The Witcher.
IMO, this is a brilliant alternative to the issue they were trying to correct in DKS2. Although, instead of not letting you invade/be summoned if your weapon is too strong, simply scale it down would be better.

They should drop the weapon level requirement
To many variables
Is this ignored for password matching? At least that would make sense

Anyone notice that navigating the inventory kinda hitches/resets environmental audio? it's kind of annoying.. Hope that's one of the first bugs that get fixed..

Thanks!
Agreed, although now I just got the Fallen Knight set that it looks as cool.
I'm like a medieval Kylo Ren now.
Oh my god I'm

General question, are there many missable/optional bosses like in Bloodborne ?
I just found the blue sentinel covenant - I remember being quite hyped for this in dark souls 2 and it literally NEVER worked a SINGLE time. Hoping that's different in 3.
Also I'm seeing sunbros everywhere at and past the
which makes me think I missed the covenant. I've gone back through a few areas and I did find a surprising amount of new stuff but no covenants.
edit: level 30-ish with a +2 sword and my summons at the boss mentioned above and getting summoned instantly, which is awesome because that boss is really fun. Like my usual thing in 2 at launch was to drop my sign at a boss then explore the area but I can't even make it 3 steps without being summoned.

For sure, is a tradition in the Souls series.
It's in the area before.
Undead Settlement, after the second bonfire (the one after the big door with the dogs), where there's a lot of enemies, including a fatty woman in a bonfire of sorts, its in a house around there, the one that has a locked door. You need to drop in a hole inside the house to reach that room.

That was the other class I was considering. Never made that connection but I can easily see that now that you mention it lol.
Ohh I have seen pics of people wearing that set. Want
AFAIK everything is ignored in password matching, but they do balance the stats out to some degree.

Got the
down to ~10% on my first try, proceeded to spend the next 15 or so tries fucking up the first stage. All too typical.
second stage of the Abyss Walker boss
I did my first 'nope' yesterday when
Undead settlement is an amazing area,it's massive and now i'm lost.
I love it.
i saw the npc protecting the cleric girl lol;Then the dude tells me that everything is fine as long as i protect the girl,i check firelink shrine every 10 mins now haha
I love it.

Why the hell does it switch to my second usable item every time I rest at the bonfire? It keeps switching to my ashen flask, or whatever I have in the second slot.
Edit: Doh, it's because I'm alt tabbing to post on GAF...

From my experiences, not really(?). Same time I couldn't read any of the item description on my Japanese playthrough.
Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but (early game, area 3?) in the
I put my sign down severa times assisting others and encountered what I think is a bug.
There's a part where you get
, don't remember his name. Anyway, I noticed that if I (as the helper) got killed then HE disappeared too. You can tell because after death you can still rotate the camera around and the host just stops fighting, looks confused, heh. =)
This happened multiple times yesterday. Thought I'd mention it. Don't have time to check this (fast-moving) thread all the time, so maybe it's already been said?
Anyway, loving the game. And (PS4) I've been getting summoned within seconds of putting my sign down, really awesome.

Should definitely scale it down, yeah, rather than restrict outright. +- 2 weapon levels sounds way too restrictive in my opinion. Summoning is fine obviously right now, but what about in a month or two?

I'm at what I am almost certain is the final boss of the game. I'm sure there's some optional areas I missed along the way too. I greatly enjoyed the game, I liked it better than Dark Souls 2, my main gripe with that game was always that the general control and combat feedback never felt that good to me and in this game it feels fine.
The game met my expectations but didn't really go above and beyond them in any way, if it had come out before Bloodborne instead of the other way around, or if this was Dark Souls 2 I would probably feel a lot more strongly about it. It's a fine sequel but overall I'm kind of tired of this setting. I don't think they really needed more than one game set in this world, let alone three. I'd still play a theoretical Dark Souls 4 but I'd much prefer to see From continue to create new worlds if they keep using this gameplay structure.

Are you serious? I'm talking about the enemies with the wooden crosses on their backs. For a non melee character, they are pure hell unless you keep backpeddaling or come up with creative uses of terrain. If you try fleeing from two of them, you're 100% dead, because you will run out of stamina first.
Let's see: flurry of extremely fast melee strikes that usually happens following a ground dash, and a leaping attack that goes up very high and hits like a meteor.
Nope, nothing alike at all. You're right.

Makes no difference, allocate souls to whatever Stat you prefer. Starting classes are just templates that you can follow if you want.
But then you'd have level 1 invaders with +10 hand axes and shit lol
Started the game as a knight last night, and played only 2 hours, but I'm appreciating the fact you can already find so many great weapons (and enemies) right in the first area, if you look hard enough.
It's certainly a very difficult task to get back to that defensive style of playing, after so many hours spent in Bloodborne (and its DLC), but combat is still sooo damn good that I'll eventually get used to it.

Or you can run from him, and he randomly falls off a cliff, and you get 2k souls and when reload the game, his gear lol.
I did this completely by accident when I first arrived to that area.

Mid-late game spoilers
So, I'm running around in Irithyl or whatever. and then, wait, those buildings look kinda familiar, hmm.
Go through sewer ish area and emerge into a room.. wait... those pictures... those knights.. am I... wait... the bridge on the way in... the guardian.. hmm..maybe it's just fan service.
Continuing.. up onto the next level.. that.. hammer... ring.. From what are you doing? It must just be this room.
I went out onto the top and climbed the last set of stairs and looked up at the building in front of me. Wow. Chills.
I was in Anor Londo and I didn't even know it.
Now to level up and see what's behind that fog gate.
Clap clap From Software. You've really done it.
