I usually go with whatever class starts with nothing because I like building my first char around whatever random crap I find on the environment

One small question for the knowledgable, and you can answer with spoiler bars if you want: do you need to do any covenant grinding or play to NG+++++ or whatever to get the platinum

same. Kind of want to be Deprived but it starts with 10 in all stats and that bothers me a lil. I don't want 10 Luck.

It seems like it requires multiple playthroughs but not as many as DS2. new items drop in NG+ but I'm not sure about beyond that

If a caster has the lowest starting sl I may choose that and not use spells. But otherwise yes

magic in general has been vastly sped up and buffed to be viable in both pve and pvp. in ds2 everything was strictly balanced around 1v1 pvp duels so a lot of offensive spells were just worthless for the actual game lmao

Sl1 was pyromancer in DkS, and royalty in DeS

I don't even know if BB had a sl1 start because the starting classes are identical save for a few stat differences and I never looked into it, I would just pick the one with the highest stat of the weapon I was gonna use

i dont even remember BB having classes cause it didnt matter at all, by the end of an NG you could nearly max out all the stats lol

Maybe after the DLC but if you stick to the main game I was ending runs around level 60, which is enough for like one stat to 35 and some points in a secondary + endurance

well you could rerun some later areas for very easy soul farming lol or just do the chalices which give you like 20x the souls that the base game does

in the end tho it didnt really matter, weapon levels and gems were way more important and i dont think the scaling mattered as much as it did in dark souls

They would be cool if it didn't take one billion chalice dungeons to grind the best ones. I always ended up using the same ones every character because of the few set locations that had decent gems

Successful sesh and feeling swole... I decided on deprived because I want this first playthrough to be as memorable and tough as possible. I'm probably gonna aim towards STR/FTH and ideally use a big fuckin axe.

I'll save the merc / dex build for the PC version when I do that in a couple weeks so I can have the powerful combo of fluid fast move sets and 60fps
