smash crystals? no fucking wonder I had trouble there. it was like a goddamn cave shooter in the second phase. Basically had to get lucky with spawns and hit n run tactics. but i suppose i can add an extra inch to my souls penis for beating him the legit hardcore non-casual way. (jk)

Except that the game uses DS2 systems all over the place (rings, equip load etc.)
Should have kept Bonfire Ascetics, but not the respawning enemies.
And red phantoms/new enemy placement in NG+
Maaaybe a dueling arena.
That's all that's missing from 2 that I would like back I think
Granted I only got one or two hours into my Dex DS3 character before starting over. I didn't like how it took too many hits to do significant damage on enemies. Maybe it was because I went with the Assassin and used the knife.
Fighting the first boss was a pain in the ass.
Fighting the first boss as a knight was a walk in the park complete with parries and two-handed fun.
Also, though this is a sentiment I have from the other Souls games, I hate how good DEX weapons are later in the game or harder to come by. I'm actually now getting DEX weapons I'd consider using on my dex character like the sellsword twinblades.
I wouldn't mind the Uchi either but it felt too slow for me.
I would have liked to see power stances back as well.

Yeah, I've noticed this too. Missing the power stances and bonfire stuff. In some cases it's kind of a shame. But I like that enemies don't despawn. It made DS2 feel empty by the end (at least in my game, lol).
I wonder if it's that, or internal From politics where Miyazaki didn't like some of the changes the B-Team made...?
No powerstancing killed my enthusiasm for making a DEX character as well
Don't even know what you mean by
smashing all the crystals. You just have to find the one shooting purple shit. That's the real crystal sage, everyone else fires blue

Also, being able to roll in more than four directions when locked on
No one I've invaded is ever that gullible. It's frustrating. Currently hiding from two guys, and they can't find me at all.
That's a

I have a vague question about the ending. Not really a spoiler, but just to be safe. Please answer as spoiler-free as possible
My charachter turned hollow (didn't release that was the cost of those free levels). I know this affects the ending. Will I get the "bad ending" if I don't heal it? Or is it simply a different ending?
It will cost me 67k souls. Is it worth it? (It's my first playthprough)

Yeah, he's more of just a mini boss (though certainly not in stature). Or maybe you'd just call it a boss since you get a soul? I don't know.
There's a lot of good additions that have been kept, just few of the ones that contributed to build variety or replay value.
My guess is that he's very specific with how he wants some things to work, and doesn't put much importance in build variety or build balance.
See lots of dex people say all they're finding are str weapons and str people saying they're all finding dex weapons haha.
There's a lot of both.
This was my complaint throughout the Souls games.
DS3 *does* have cool DEX weapons but again, they're a bit late in the game or harder to get.
Nothing has touched Bloodborne's STR-S-scale pizza cutter though. That was the biggest middle finger the game gave my dex/skill hunter.
Well he was a boss in the first game 3 times so might as well consider him one.

This is the best game I've played since Dark Souls 1. The exploration is so fun, the areas a huge and look amazing. The atmosphere is fantastic and the music...hnnnnnnng

Mercenary Class starts with Sellsword Twinblades.
I'm doing that class although I ditched them pretty quick and went with Uchigatana instead and then dual wild Uchi + Irithyll Sword.
IMO yes. You also wanna put some points in increasing FP and I forget which stat does that.
But the real answer is to start over and go STR unless you enjoy running around with a butter knife all the way to Farron's Keep.

You sure? Those aren't those lame twin daggers?
Attunement does for sure. Not sure if any of the other magic stats influence it at all.

That moment you realize your bow does more damage against
than your other weapons, and that's how you end up beating

second phase.

My broadsword is +6 and I also have tried other weapons. I keep going back to the broadsword. It shreds through enemies.

I'm going to undoubtedly get a lot of flack for this and open the floodgates of people wanting to brag about how gud they are, but goddamn I found that fight hard - even with two sunbros backing me up.
I'm going to go through the game again and solo the boss but holy shit I wasn't expecting such a difficulty spike.
So far the game has done well not resorting so much to the big human-like boss with huge weapon archetype with bosses, but this one was like the return of the Fume Knight.

That will not change your ending. It's a factor for what people consider the true ending, but it's not the only factor and it's very possible you may have missed the other factor required to unlock it. That's about the best I can do without ruining anything, but you should also bear in mind that it won't be the bad ending, that's acquired in a different way

Sellsword Twinblades are different than the Brigand Twin Daggers.

Actually I can't remember... but I'm pretty sure since the whole starter armor set is Sellsword, and I got the dual twin blades through the game and were different weapons.
Irithyl Straight Sword. Trades some damage for quite a bit more range.
About 3/4 of the way through I'd say if you don't find/complete any of the optional areas.

I've got a huuuuuge stack of useless-to-me Dex weapons that would strongly disagree with this sentiment! Though I'm going to be dropping some point in it so I can use this B

FROM needs to buff the bosses with more health, they die too fast. I have a iryhill straight +3 and every hit takes away too much health from bosses.

I think the area behind that door is where you meet the knight after coming down the ladder, before getting the cell key.
