You're on crack. Dark Souls 2 has dozens of dex weapons.

Its hidden well but good luck! And about your second question (weapon spoiler)
you can actually find a longbow in the High Walls of Lothric, first area you can access from the bonfire, pretty easy.

You can force a weapon to have any kind of scaling now, so it doesn't really matter.

Sweet. Alright, thanks again. I shall refrain from further questions least the tread start looking like some weird redacted government document.
I think everyone should start Deprived for their first Souls experience. Gotta combine that inexperience with the extra difficulty for maximum shenanigans.
I did find that Deprived lost its luster for me with experience though. The extra difficulty didn't amount to much once I knew how to play, and aside from specific starting items, it doesn't take much time at all to catch up to the preconfigured classes. For DS3 I think I'll just start Pyromancer so I can get my fireball on and save good ol' Deprived for if I want to try a SL1 run.
Holy shit. This comes out in 16 hours.

Good luck. he's a very tough fight!
what? It also remain the level of scaling (B,A....)
If it's so, that means it doesn't matter now what stat do you level.

Are there any returning weapon types that were introduced in Dark Souls 2?

Its probably worth mentioning that this works just like Dark Souls 2 infusion where a weapon will lose scaling in everything else some amount and add some to the respective infusion. So if something has S scaling in Str it isn't suddenly going to good for Dex, but like the claymore can suddenly become a Dex weapon if you want instead of just quality.

I really hate that the Japanese release and all the streams kind of took the wind out of DS3's sails for me. Two weeks ago I was so addicted I sometimes watched two streams at the same time because they were using different interesting builds. (I don't care about spoilers, I'm just in it for the gameplay.)
Now I barely even click on the OTs anymore.
I know I will enjoy the shit out of it tomorrow but I just wished my hype levels were reversed with the JP release slowly building it up until it reaches max levels the day before I actually get to play it...

yes you can respec up to 5x per ng
This whole release has been a shitshow. Releasing early in Japan is one thing but the way they gave out copies for streaming and encouraged it so early before release just tells me that Bandai Namco just don't get it.
Those areas were legit broken before the patch, now they run like the rest of the game on PC.

So Bloodborne was my first "souls" experience, and I loved it. I mostly used Ludwig's Holy Blade, and started witih the Saw Cleaver.
What class/weapon/stats should I focus on in DS3 for as similar as an experience as possible?

How early into the game can you do this?

I'm in the same situation, and am going with a sword knight as far, and feel right at home. Just a word of warning, You're going to want to get used to using a shield, even though they were worthless in bloodborne, that's not the case here at all.
I mean that sorcerers are significantly weaker than STR and Dex builds. One single hit with a Greatsword is about double the damage of the strongest sorcery available in mid game.
Yep, the marketing department for DS3 have no clue whatsoever.

thats horrible
hopefully they buff magic later, until then enhancement based magic only it is(and utility)

Eh welp
depends if you discover the area before venturing to another area and vice versa. Regardless you have to go to that area. But I want to assume somewhere between 30-40% of the game. Its hidden well and I didnt find it on my first play through until the very end of the game. But thats due to me just missing it completely.
The PC copies were still embargoed so that streamers couldn't play past a specific point but the "leak" of the english Xbox One version made that completely irrelevant.
First there was the footage from the preview event.
Then we had the PC copies that were handed out to streamers.
And finally there were the streamed Xbox One versions.
It was a little too much exposure that far away from the US/EU release.
I basically watched two full Let's Plays already. The fact that I'm still buying the game is telling how much I'm looking forward to this.
If you go for a pure enhancement build you'll be golden. You can easily put the minimal stats into your Int and faith just for the buffs you want, hell you can even pump up your Int and Fth, infuse a weapon with good base dmg as raw (I like the
Astora
Some bosses are simply not meant to be killed with magic. Where as there isn't a single boss that is made easier by it.

Estoc is an equip for the assassin eh? Might just roll that class until I find my beloved Zweihander.
Yes. Tons. Some of the coolest move sets are on curved swords.
I think it's a worldwide release this time round unfortunately.

How's dual wielding in this? In DS2 there was a special stance you could activate if you were dual wielding and had high enough stats.
Removed power stance. Dual wielding is part of weapon move sets, like blades of mercy in BB
No problem. Thanks anyway.

Cheers, good to know. I'll probably roll with a sword (halberd) and shield as usual for the first playthrough and check out dual wielding afterwards.

Yeah, wonder if they follow the community and the pvp scene especially at all. Must be the most used gesture of all times...

if you go to your account on GMG it says "No keys available until the game is released. ". but I don't know if that's a standard message.
