Oh, a question I'm actually curious about and I'm not even sure myself despite completing the game: Is it still like Souls 2 where enemies will permanently despawn if you kill them, like, 15 times?

Buca di Bepis posted:Make sure you talk to every NPC, they have neat stuff to say! It seems like this might be buggy. Some people are getting actual dialogue and some people just get the same line for 20 hours. It's Souls, so it's hard to say. Maybe a lot of people just aren't hitting the exact right obscure triggers in the right order to make them say something new. Wait for your favorite youtube lore nerd to datamine everything, that's my plan.

So let me get this straight: Fire is dying because Lothric is having an emo moment and refuses to link it. I mean, I understand, he was basically raised to link the fire, his dad has turned into a hosed up dragon monster, and his brother is crippled and mute. So a bell rings which wakes up a bunch of the old lords of cinder, who linked the flame in previous ages, but they decide to gently caress right the hell off except Ludleth, who probably knows something. A bunch of undead are woken up as well and tasked with getting the lords back to their thrones (in pieces). In the meantime, the Abyss watchers murder themselves for some reason, Aldia and Sulyvahn establish a giant evil church over old Anor Londo and gently caress up/corrupt/eat most of the surviving old gods, and Yhorm sits a bunch. Am I getting that right? What was up with Untended Graves? I still can't figure that out. The real firelink shrine is clearly in the real world - you can see Lothric from it. But there's also a version in the Kiln, and the dark version under Oceiros' room, which is impossible. Also what was up with the serpentine darkness monsters that seemed to be possessing people? It's mentioned they are seeds of darkness, but that's all I got. They look kind of like serpents.

I'm beginning to wonder how viable a light armor/heavy weapon, no shield character is. It just feels like everything has more poise, is faster, and does more damage. I'm also wondering if a pure sorcerer is viable for the same reasons. There are some bosses you simply have no time to blink, let alone get a spell or heavy attack off. Thoughts? Also, on the heavy weapon note, are the Great/Large clubs still good?

What's special about the Black Blade katana? Seen lots of people using it. When I tried it the range and moveset seemed inferior to the other katanas.

So is this the first Souls game where Rubbish is actually worthless? I wonder if there's some secret use for it that nobody's figured out yet. Seems weird that you can buy it from one of the vendors later in the game.

Day Two of Nameless King. I can get 25% of the way through phase two. My golly that's a difficult fight for straight melee. You need to be on point with dodging or you're hosed.

I'm also wondering if a pure sorcerer is viable for the same reasons. There are some bosses you simply have no time to blink, let alone get a spell or heavy attack off. My thing in these games has always been full on heavy, I've never PvP'd much til this game. Havel's all the way. When I started going through all the games again in the months leading up to this one, I finally gave up on that- kept my heavy 2H weapon though. I haven't been able to find anything better than the Dragonslayer Greataxe, and I wear the Masters gear you get at the beginning along with a simple loincloth and that big rag from DeS. Again, I'm no vet of PvP but when I got to the area past Sulyvahn in NG+ I stayed there for 5 or 6 hours over a couple of sittings just PvPing and won more than I lost. Times I'd queue up 3 guys, knock em all off then do 3 more. I cant report any gripes with PvE either, having used the Alva armor before as its a nice balance of weight and poise, which I used to be obsessed with. For me now its hard to top the mobility and stamina gains

You need to be on point with dodging or you're hosed. Are you wearing the Thunder Stoneplate ring? It adds a lot to survivability when you occasionally get tapped. With that on I actually found him substantially easier than another similar lategame boss: Champion Gundyr. Mostly because the Champ has all those fuckin punches, kicks, and shoulder slams that gently caress you up once you think you've dodged.

Aldrich seems like an exceedingly luck-based fight. If he spams arrows in the second phase you basically might as well give up.

A neat detail that's kind of hard to notice if you're just passing through (spoilers for a reference) http://i.imgur.com/b7EwDbc.jpg RIP Dark Souls 2 ladder dude. I guess you're why the Profaned Capital is full of makeshift ladders, including a good dozen broken and lying around on the floor.

Harrow posted:Aldrich seems like an exceedingly luck-based fight. If he spams arrows in the second phase you basically might as well give up. You just need to roll/run at 90 degree angles to the arrows in sort of loop-de-loops towards him so you can hit him before he can let loose another volley. Once I figured that out, he's not really a threat.

Nope, kick to the face. Get an attack in? Nope, kick to the face. Try to back off to get some range first and take a breather? Nope, he'll just ninja slide across the arena, and you guessed it, kick you in the face.

Well I finally got a better GPU (upgrade from GTX 670 to 970) and uh... From Low to Max settings, the game honestly doesn't look very different vv It's nice to have a stable framerate and no crashes though (I can finally roll a pyromancer!). ...Now I wonder if I could lower the settings and somehow downsample the game. Downsampling makes anything look amazing.

I'm really glad I killed him in the first try because the runback seems like a nightmare if you get stuck. at least the nameless king, who is kicking my rear end atm, has a bonfire and no enemies between the two of you

Mostly because the Champ has all those fuckin punches, kicks, and shoulder slams that gently caress you up once you think you've dodged. I managed to power through Champion first try but I'm getting hosed on NK. It's not survivability since I can take three hits on NK but just that every loving time you die you have to go through phase 1 all over again to then gently caress up a dodge on phase 2 and get smoked since you can get about a single hit in at a time so any time youre using estus it's a moment you could have hit him. 40str +10 heavy dark sword, two hand in phase 1 and one hand in phase 2 for speed. Grass crest shield, chloranthy ring, thunder stoneplate, carthus blood ring for extra dodge frames, FAP ring, havels, drang armor and solaire helm. SL85 It's just tedious since to learn phase two you have to master phase one, and I can get through phase one without a single hit or fuckup now but ughuhguhuhgh you got to be loving perfect with your dodges and know exactly when to hit since he mixes slow moves with really goofy timed fast moves.

voltcatfish posted:How many of the infusions in this game are Actually Useless because it sure seems like a lot Poison: loving lol Bleed: If you wanted to inflict bleed you'd just use one of the weapons that already has it, but from what I've heard bleed is bad in this game. Not as bad as poison though. Simple & Blessed: I have no idea why these were included. They make your weapon terrible but restore HP/FP at a pitiful rate. So the best way to use them is to just switch to one to top off your missing HP/FP or sit still for 5 minutes to go back to full from nothing. Its stupid and scummy. Hollow: Builds that scale off luck are just a silly gimmick, and inferior to just using a real weapon with actual stats I just don't see why they would put in so many useless infusions but not include the one that was actually pretty drat useful for sorcerers, as it gave them a way to inflict some solid physical damage against enemies that resist magic.
