What do you lose if you use the abyss greatsword without meeting the faith/int reqs? It doesn't have any magic damage with it at all.

Thievery posted:Do me a favour and video yourself fighting Ornstein and Smough for the first, second, third, fourth, and any other times it takes until you finally beat them.  The worst part of this is that I was running a build that should have made them a cakewalk (high END shield tanking) but I thought I couldn't block Smough at all due to his size, so kept trying to dodge and getting killed. Turns out that know, you can do it just fine, and suddenly it's a cakewalk.

I wanted to flip around but I dont want to get 14 extra levels just to use it and then not be able to white phantom. Although I have trouble with that anyway cause I'm level 50 and show up as naked on my summon sign.

For some reason the framerate seems to be capped at 15. I'm using that dfix thing but looking through the settings it doesn't seem like anything's ticked that would do that. Help?

22 Eargesplitten posted:Is Ash Lake something I'm going to learn about, or is it a standalone little thing? Because I think I see archtrees and thick clouds, but I also think that I should be approximately 500 feet underground at this point, and even if the huge elevation changes outside of the main Lordran area account for the 500 feet, I didn't see any Archtrees out there when I saw the hollow from the graveyard. The whole world is supported on those trees, above the clouds. You walk out of the Great Hollow, and the other tree with the everlasting dragon in it is the tree supporting Lordran (the top of it is where the raven drops you off after the tutorial).

It's manageable, but much worse. Sinking an extra $20 for some Logitech PS2 copycat along with this thing is completely worth it, though.

Okay, my the fps in this game is weird. My gpu doesn't meet the recommended specs, but if I don't use that dfix thing I can usually get 30 FPS, but the framerate will drop randomly then go back up to 30. Also, I just got to the outside area and met a paladin-type dude. Learning miracles from him requires joining his covenant, which will abandon my current. Do I, from the start of the game, already have a covenant? Genocyber fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Nov 23, 2012 |

Considering making my first run on the PC version of the game to be a Legend of Zelda run... following progression, of course. 1. Forest 2. Lava 3. Water 4. Shadow 5. Midpoint 6. Ruins 7. Ice 8. Spirit (Alternatively: 1. Darkroot Garden (Includes Sif) 2. Demon Ruins through Ceaseless Discharge + gathering collectibles 3. New Londo Ruins 4. Catacombs 5. Anor Londo 6. Lost Izalith 7. Duke's Archive 8. Tomb of Giants Then the Kiln.) All done in a recolored/textured Leather Armor, "Hylian" Tower Kite Shield, wielding and Astora's Straight Sword. At one point, changing it to a retextured Mirror Shield as the Grass Crest and wielding the Claymore. BIGGORON Dickweasel Alpha fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Nov 23, 2012 |

I just started the game and beat the prison demon at the start and my hands are shaking. This never happened to me since 1993 when i played doom. Is this normal? I mean, I just beat a "big" monster right at the start of the game after three tries and i feel like i did something. Holy poo poo.

I landed on it alright, and I was nearly in the safe zone underneath the Doom Tree itself, but it swept me off right as I was about to step onto tile instead of root.

I wonder - if you use one of those hack programs that make you never die, whether or not you can jump off Firelink to land in Blighttown. You'd need actual invincibility as opposed to just unmovable HP, but it would be awesome.

muike posted:Yeah but you can see the great hollow from Firelink. You can see loads of the world from everywhere. It's really cool. A few I can think of Tomb of the Giants looks down upon Lost Izalith, Darkroot Basin is above the Valley of the Drakes, which maybe lends more significance to where you end up fighting Kalameet than I realised until just now, This is an obvious one but you can look down from the Hellkite bridge to Undeadburg. I have gone through that zone almost a hundred times and it wasn't until I was standing at the bottom, looking up at how loving huge this place was, I realised it was my destination.  Edit - Can you see anything from Firelink? I don't know, you can make out a tree but there's no guarant(r)ee it's the hollow. I couldn't see any of Blighttown anyway, i'm just roaming and exploring bits I can look off. You can see down from the Catacombs entrance to a whole new lower-city that looks pretty cool.

Vashro posted:No,it really isn't. Can we stop putting off new players with this? Yes, the game is playable with KB+M if you have the mouse fix, I've been doing it for 130 hours and have been met with better success than any of the times I've played with a gamepad. If it's what you're used to it's totally usable, but telling everyone that you need to make another $20-30 investment to play this game isn't doing the community any favors, and if it weren't for the testimonial of a few people in here saying that KB+M controls were indeed usable, I probably wouldn't even own the game right now.

Yep, you can absolutely do it with KB+M. I've also been doing this for 130 hours (you are literally me  ) and the mouse fix isn't essential either - just highly useful. The main difference is how the mouse movement is calculated - the base install of Dark Souls treats any mouse movement as a fixed amount of mouse movement, so if you move your mouse to the left for 2 seconds, it doesn't matter whether you move it one centimeter or ten centimeters - the camera will pan the same amount. The mouse fix changes it to work like mouses actually work.Hell, the major turn-off for me was GFWL, but I decided screw it, I've been wanting to play this game for a while and dammit I am going to enjoy it. No regrets.

Just imagine how good the game would be with proper mouse input, though. Add in a block-lock feature and you would be able to move in one direction, block in another direction, while looking in a third direction.

I'm never going to finish this game now; after Anor Londo, everything feels so boring. I get the lord souls, start the Kiln of the first flame, and make a new character. Things just feel more intense before you have a build properly going, bumbling around like a chump. Is NG+ more interesting? I'm making my way through the DLC now, and expecting good things.
