I remember now why my first ds2 character took like 70 hours and why my ds3 one will too. In my first playthrough I maxed out rat covenant, sunlight covenant, bell keepers and dragon pvp, lol. Every time I find a neat covenant I just end up doing online stuff for 6 hours

you know one of the good things dks2 did is that you could enchant, buff, infuse etc. literally any weapon in the game and the actual damage gain for this stuff was just toned down for weapons where it'd be OP

in this one they went back to arbitrarily limiting like half the weapons in the game. i can maybe understand the boss weapons and some other uniques, but why the gently caress cant i make a heavy executioner sword? it makes no sense lol

Don't give up their drops are really nice if you get them early , probably less exciting later on though

new NG+ exclusive items right in the tutorial area. there are even greater souls you can find that are ng+ exclusive and give you like 50k+ souls each when consumed. they really want you to just do pvp and max out everything haha

yeah. i don't think it's bad design or anything, it's just not a personal favorite. there's some really cool poo poo in the swamp if you poke around in the mire, though.

oh yeah, you can use the bloodborne quickstep even when you run out of mana, so you can just fly through the swamp lol

you can also use p. much any non-magic weapon art when out of mana, they'll just lose like 30% of the damage or so. but if a weapon art flips people on their asses it'll still do so at no mana

i think it's maybe the best "here's a giant loving mob of enemies" fight in the series so far. like celestial emissary, or royal rat vanguard, but implemented in a better way.
