Dark Souls: Prepare to Die

[AndyB]

I made a new character when I beat it. I will go through NG+ and all the more until I get everything I need.

 

[Prof Gallows]

I've been considering getting Demon's Souls. I don't really ever play my PS3 sadly, I need a new controller due to my current one only having one working analogue stick.(it's the right one.)

Once I can save up to be able to afford things I'll get me a new controller and possibly Demon's Souls.

This thread also got me playing again, once I can beat my current game I'm going to start up a magic build, been wanting to for a while.

magic builds are verry fun! I use a rapier for backstabs if an enemy gets to close.

My current build was originally intended to be pyromancy/magic, but along the way it ended up turning into strength instead. For RP purposes I've based my first character somewhat similar to Kirk, the Knight of Thorns. Who is rumored.. not sure if it's official or not, like most of the lore.. anyway, he collects humanity and offers it to the Fair Lady. That's pretty much what I spend 99% of my time in the game doing, either farming humanity from Seeth's experiments in Duke's or using the dark hand on people in PVP, then offering it to her. Keeps my entertained at least, even though there really is no point to it gameplay-wise. lol

I also loved using the thrust weapons earlier on in the game, but then I got a spear and fell in love with how it's used in combination with my pyromancy.

So it released today and I caved. I bought it again on PC.

I can't help myself, Souls is just too good. ;__;

it was worth it I'm sure! Make sure to post your thoughts on the dlc! :-D

 

[Prof Gallows]

I watched a stream pretty much all day. I'm really impressed with the massive amount of content, calling it DLC is an understatement. More like an expansion. If I cave I'll end up buying it on PC, but right now I'm trying to stay patient.

 

[Mr.L]

For everyone that bought the game for PC, make sure to get the resolution fix since they ported this game pretty terribly and locked it to a bad resolution.

 

[Prof Gallows]

Ah yeah, I forgot about that.

There's the patch.

 

[AndyB]

I've started a new character with the intent of being a Gravelord. Going to be relatively low level, but first I'm going to deck myself out with some nice gear. That said it'll be normal gear, no twinking from me.

 

[Prof Gallows]

SO. Andy and I have made new characters, as he's already mentioned.

So far it's really brought me back into Dark Souls, and I've got to say that I missed so much that I never even realized I had missed.
DLC is a month away, anticipation is hard to endure.

Current progress on the Gravelord

Spoiler

Edit: Just something to note, if any of you do see a Gravelord sign.. invade them. You're not losing out by doing this and if anything the Gravelord has it worse as they can be invaded by 3 players at once.

I also play DkS, but I play on PC though. I was showin Andy my character the other day. What I use is a Chaos Guardian Tail Whip +5 with a grass crest shield for my main load out. My secondary gear is a Chaos Shotel +5 in my main hand for those pesky turtles, and a Gold Tracer +5 in my offhand for when I need to get really close and do some serious damage. I don't care to use armor because it pretty much just slows me down, so I just use painter pants, painter gloves, and the painter hood.

Man after my own heart with those chaos weapons.

I've been playing armorless lately after getting my dragon form, but it really doesn't offer a whole lot other than aesthetics.
If I hadn't been playing a themed character(my dragon sorcerer), I'd have used chaos weapons.

also, you're a rare case Fretless, I've NEVER seen anyone manage to use a whip weapon effectively. Kudos bro.

I'd say my favorite easter egg of all time.

 

[AndyB]

I was so happy when I heard about that. I've yet to make it over there, I only just found a shield that'll get me through the acid.
