It's MISSEL! Or SISSLE!
I confused myself...





I tried to make Waluigi like I did in Bloodborne, but it didn't turn out anywhere near as well as it did in that game. Also, whats with the hair colors? I had to triple the RGB values to get something that wasn't just slightly-tinted almost black.

I agree, the High Wall of Lothric brings out the knives in a hurry. None of its tricks are particularly new, but they're constantly being remixed at you and none of the areas really give you a chance to breathe.

I'm running it on an ancient Radeon 5770 and a 3.4ghz Phenom 965. High textures, everything that can be turned off is off, medium everything else and in a tiny window. Got to the swamp area last night, so far haven't had any crashes. Hopefully it'll stay at a playable framerate, it has chugged a bit here and there but nothing game-killing. Maybe I'm just used to having a crap computer.

I'd say Lothric is harder than any of the other starting areas. Lothric knights make Baldur knights look like chumps.

If one were to use CheatEngine to rename one's character (that was possible in DS2, at least), would that be seriously risking a softban?

It is utterly impossible to make anything that requires a blend of colors. It's quite bad, and I would not expect it to be fixed.

The people saying that are all very familiar with the series and have gotten good over time. I can't think of anything as rough as the snake pricks in any of the other opening areas, they might not be able to hit behind themselves very well but good luck figuring out which direction "behind them" is.

So are the knights in front of the Vordt of the Boreal Valley supposed to be tanky or should I look into upgrading my weaponry? It takes quite a few hits (10-15) to kill one unless I get lucky with parries and they hit like a motherfucker.

Also what's with the blue knight with glowing eyes? What does that signify other than he's a bigger meaner rear end in a top hat in a group of big mean assholes?

Yeah they're pretty brutal especially compared to all the other enemies in that zone just kind of flailing at you a bit.

Weapon spoiler: does anything come even close to a raw Astora straight sword for low-stat damage output?

I find it really difficult to measure the difficulty in souls games since I'm so much better at them now than I was when Dark souls 1 was released.

This game is probably harder than the other ones but I'm still breezing through it with no problem. I guess that's what hundreds of hours of souls experience does for you.

Yeah, holy poo poo because those fuckers do not let the pressure up. Baldur Knights were relatively relaxing and easy to fight against. Lothric knights are just a never ending stream of pain and outright force you to step up your game.

Anything in any Souls game is easy if you co-op it. I really can't imagine why anyone would co-op without doing it themselves first

I'm using a 550 TI and running the game at minimum settings at 800x600 with no issues other than playing the PS2 version of this game. If you really want to run the game without crashing then turn off your settings. This isn't rocket science.

Did they really remove the ability to use multiple souls at once or am I just missing how to do it? I had been ignoring them until after about 3 hours of playing last night and had to go into my item menu about 17 times to use every little soul I had collected, it was a godsend in DS2.

You can also just sell them now and not deal with the animation.

I can't imagine not wanting to coop the game the first time. That seems pretty stupid to me.

Co-opping is fun as hell. Usually I lay my sign down first before doing it in my own world to get a feel for it, bonus in helping others; then go at it myself.

Also apparently I have enough poise (I guess?) that my roll will stagger normal enemies and knock them out of attacks, is this a new thing? I don't remember it happening in 1 or 2 at least.
