I gotta say after about 35 hours into this, Dark Souls 2 had a more memorable soundtrack. Think that was my favorite OST of the souls games.

Right after the 2nd boss fight. It's not nearly as good as the BB health regain system though.

That just means people are summoning more than people are putting down their signs pretty much.

Talking about different things, I guess. The ring that regains health on critical hits is indeed the one you are thinking of, but they might be thinking of the Pontiff's Left Eye (which never worked for me tbh).
In fact the closest thing to the regain system is probably the Ring of the Evil Eye, which is given to you by Anri in the Church of Yorshka.

My bad, not the ring for regaining health on critical hits.

That's really clever, I love these clever messages too. But I'm dub, so I only create dumb ones.

Nah, the lady just wants you to be strong enough before you go there. You can kill her and fight Dancer/use the ladder at any time
I left a tongue but hole message with the Call Over gesture behind a Winged Knight corpse at the High Wall, it's my highest rated message
The second highest is "head", on top of a headless statue. Followed closely by "Play dead, skeleton" to a Skeleton corpse nearthe fire demon and the mimic, near the entrance to Smouldering Lake.
I love the dumb messages in these games so much, I'm sorry >_<
My highest rated message is in Firelink. It says "Be wary of bleeding but hole". We're all so mature. My second highest is at the bonfire after the
Nameless King that says "King, you bastard".
I finished up the platinum trophy last weekend. Covenant item grinding was one of the most tedious things I've ever done.

Acquired all pyromancies except the one locked behind mound-makers.. time for losing sanity
vigor and vitality...
so one adds HP the other allows me to use bigger heavier armor and shields? I thought the game is about fashion? are the heavier armors that much better that you would want to waste points to wear it?

That one is my favourite. My second favourite only has one like though. It's either too far-fetched or too dark: "Youth, be wary of cleric" in the Deacons of the Deep boss room
No. They severely nerfed heavy armour compared to previous games

I use this weapon a lot in PvE and now I've been trying it out in PvP. I'm really trying to love it but it has some problems. It's a quality weapon, and on my 40/40 build, it does 530 AR normally and 546 Refined; not worth a gem if you ask me. That's rather low for an UGS, especially with such slow swings. Also, the hyperarmor in this weapon is much less than the other large weapons. You cannot expect to trade blows against a lot of weapons without getting staggered. It has terrible stamina consumption for such a light and relatively low damaging sword (I have 40 END). It has a beautiful moveset though and it looks really good, plus you get the 3 hit riposte with the Hornet Ring, killing almost everyone. 8 unit weight is great too. A fucking Claymore is heavier, go figure. Overall, it's a decent weapon for PvE, just not for PvP.

So is there a list of the best big 2h axes, halberds and maybe swords?
Ima use this Black Knight Great Axe, and I enjoy this Winged Knight Halberd, but I'm wondering what else I should level up for NG+.

It's also one of the most overpowered weapons in the game for PvP:

that depends on too many factors to say! Just use what feels good, that's the best advice I can give. Personally I'm a big fan of the Greataxe and Lorian's UGS. Black Knight weapons are good. Gundyr's halberd is good.
Hey, I kinda liked that character from DS2. I thought it was nice for a change to interact with an NPC in a different way.
I thought the DSII soundtrack was a bit lacking, personally. All of the songs in DS3 have been great, in my opinion.

Grab them and bone out.
Also, like most bosses, seems difficult at first, but is actually not too bad once you figure him out.
She is the best character in the entire firelink.
Her VA did a fantastic job with every line she had.
Yeah, even worse there are
spiral staircases with waist-high gates in the corner of that room.
Is there any downside to backing up my save before doing respec or getting one of the endings, and restoring it later if necessary? Is that against the TOS in any way?
I want to backup, get 1 ending, restore, get another ending, for the achievements. I have to do some other quests in NG+ for the other one though.
I'm in PC btw. I know PS4 players can do this with cloud saves but I'd be doing it manually with the save file itself.

Totally fine.

Yeah I thought that silly at first. But if you look at them, they don't lead anywhere. They aren't connected to the level above. More like visual flair, or part of some strange ritual (probably the former).
None. FROM even tells you to backup.
Yeah but you still need the three endings for the Platinum so it's not so bad.

This is common for DS games. You basically need to finish NG++ at a minimum for a Platinum. In DS2, they at least threw the player a bone and hand an NPC at the NG++ mid-point sell all the rare stuff needed for trophies that were hard to get otherwise.
Welp, I'm finally done with the M
covenant (alongside the corresponding Achievement). I've been farming for P
and got ten of those, so I'm one third into B
.
At least the enemies that drop the item are in a much more accessible area than the others I was farming before. The drop rate seems to be pretty shitty, though. On par (or somewhat worse) than for V
. But after that, it's just a matter of getting further into NG+ to get to the area where I can turn in my S
and finally be done with the covenants.
I still have to get all the rings in this NG+ and those in NG++, though!

Spook and the Slumbering Dragon Ring are really over-powered in this game for PvE - You can literally run right up to an enemies back and walk at full pace behind theim and basically just choose when you'd like to backstab them! Feels kind of broken honestly, they were never this good in previous games.

Spook is so good that speedruns use it to skip large portions of levels.
Also, Hidden Body makes running from enemies pretty trivial.

On my first playthrough I killed Yhorm the first time I fought him and I had Seigward to help, I didn't even pick up the Stormruler I just kind of hacked at his legs whilst Seigward brought him down. On my second character, I died the first time and it seems you only get one chance with Seigbro? I've now died to to Yhorm half a dozen times, I just can't seem to get enough distance in order to charge up the sword. I must be doing something wrong since this is the easiest boss ever, right... right?! D:
edit - Wait, I thought you had to hold down L2 all the time, didn't realise once it had charged it was ok to let go of L2, doh!

...Stones, right?
Don't even pretend it's the cleavage in her dress that makes players drop "tongue but hole" messages around her, since they do that for just about every female NPC, even the modestly dressed ones. Men are pigs.
To be fair, tongue but hole is also littered around half decayed corpses that are bent over a rail or something too. Not going to pretend we aren't pigs, but at least were equal opportunity ones.
