Bet change in DS3: hold down down button to auto-switch to estus flask.

Not quite accurate - it's change to the first item slot, so it doesn't have to be the flask. You can have a quick-switch to any item you feel like. (This also works with holding up to switch to your #1 spell, and the start menu has a 5 entry customizable item quickbar too. It's really quite handy.)

This "hold the button to go to the first position thing" is actually really cool and I had no idea it was in there. Huh.

Decent amount of flexibility as well.

So what you're saying is that DS3 practically has a dedicated firebomb button?

Also the 5 quick buttons are great but if you didn't immediately just reassign them to all the "Hello!" and "I'm sorry!" etc carvings I don't even know what to say.

That sounds like a generous estimate. Hopefully it happens before we all become skeletons and bonewheels, at least. :v:

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

+1 pro start, it looks like they have armor on their backs, but it's actually their weak point because they can't look behind them.

There's actually a special backstab animation where you wedge the weapon between the armor's joints. The carapace then drops and can be used as a shield (although you won't have the stats for it for quite a while).

I'm pretty sure I mention it in that video or the next one but I already know what backstab attempts entail on those dudes, courtesy of early DS2 footage.

You should kill some bosses. Also, everyone else should remember that telling geop to do anything we've seen in the video is ultimately pointless because we're many episodes behind the recording and he's probably already left the area and the one after it as well.

So! Uh! I will most likely be nixing hosted videos?? Because Hostgator is suddenly become real big jerks after about four or so years of using 'em. I guess they don't want my service anymore so screw 'em.

HOWEVER, I think I've finally figured out fuckups in my encoding steps and Youtube videos look a good deal less-muddy. This is the first video I'm trying out and it looks much better. Dark rooms aren't nearly as blotched up.

The Ironclad Leggings were one of my favourites in this game for Fashion Souls. I always liked bulky greaves while wearing something flashy on the upper body. Makes me feel like I'm a horrendously designed Gundam. The Steel Leggings and Havel's Leggings were great for that in DS1.
