Dark Souls 3

Started by Badabing19 pages

I'll be starting with a Knight or Warrior. Then I'll start a Sorcerer game when I get familiar with the first few areas.

Astner beat me with the stats, but here they are again:










I would be a sorceror but the title of herald appeals to me. Time to create Silver Surfer

Sadly it looks like Luck is not really useful for any build.

Which makes the Pyromancer particularly good because it has the lowest available value for Luck, it also only has 8 Vitality which is 1 point less than the Sorcerer. The stat that I'm not too keen on is the 12 Strength, contra the Sorcerer's 7, but as long as the weapon I want to use—which will be either a piercing sword or katana—will require 12 Strength or more then it's perfectly fine.

Luck in Demon's was crap too. At least it gives you something to not level up

Any info on the overall difficulty?

Will it be harder then DS2?

Like Resistance in Dark Souls. It's a useless stat. It doesn't need to be there. It just ends up lowering the appeal of certain starting classes.

I don't think there's an objective response to that question. Even today you have people arguing about which Souls game is the hardest—some people argue that Dark Souls 2 is the hardest while other argue it's the easiest—and whatever they consider the "hardest" is the one they prefer.

I played 1 after 2 and thought it was super easy compared to the 2nd.

The only fights that gave me trouble were the dlc ones with the hex spells.

I think Dark Souls 2 was the hardest as well, but that was because I didn't master it to the same degree as the other games.

The hardest boss in terms of asses kicked was the gargoyles in Dark Souls 1. I went at them over and over for like 7 hours straight. It was my own fault though because I didn't try leveling up or getting a better weapon or something.

So the actual hardest boss would have to be that ****er Raime. I fought him at the top of my game and he still whooped me.

It's hard to tell which Souls is hardest, because after you've beaten one of them your skill is increased so the next one is easier. So I guess the hardest Souls is whichever one is your first.

Failing that, its the ****ing Fume Knight.

Edit: Ruin Sentinels were balls hard as well.

Level 1, no damage taken:

For those who've done it, how difficult and fun is a caster build?

I've always gone nearly pure melee and am thinking about shaking things up this time.

Once you get enough spells you'll be a tank.

In DS1 with the strongest spells you could 2 shot like every boss in the game.(hex/dark spells were the most powerful.)

In DS2 with the strongest spell (forgot the name that big soul arrow barrage)

You could kill the strongest bosses in 4-6 shots even after a couple ng+ es.

Outside that single spell hex was still the best way to go.(Some magic did drain minimal life though.)
With hex stats later you could use every spell ,miracle and pyro stuff.

I think it's fun I always play as a mage though.

needs maybe like a speed attribute considering theres a thief character... my character choice

Demon's Souls is the hardest Souls game. estahuh

Wait so spells now dont have count limits on them?
Damn phuckin great if true...

I had a pretty easy time with Dark Souls 2 tbh, though that may be because I was coming off of Bloodborne. That game gave me some crazy dodging reflexes. The DLC was the only real struggle I had in the game, and the Bloodborne DLC blew it out of the water. So far, Bloodbornes been the hardest for me, though these are the only two in the series I've played.

You haven't play Dark Souls 1?

It's well worth it.

I'm planning on it. I heard it was supposed to become backwards compatible. I own it digitally on 360. Unfortunately, they have yet to put it out, which sucks since I was planning on playing it before DS3

If you haven't played 1 then there's no reason to rush out and buy 3 when it comes out. Especially since Das1 is more than likely going to be better than 3 anyway.

Play 1 to completion before you even think of buying 3 would be my opinion.

DS2 was a different kind of difficult than 1. DS2 seemingly just tried to harass and annoy you to death with it's enemy placement. DS1 had a bit more of a "logical" design with it's enemies and levels. Boss wise, DS1 was far superior. The only boss I didn't mash like a flea in DS2 was Raime.

TBH, after a certain level, and mastery of the game mechanics they all become relatively easy from a certain perspective.
