Instead of playing through DS3 again in preparation I'd actually rather watch a LP. Are there any recommended? Preferably with the DLC since I never saw that, and cool if it's a 100%/lore type thing too.

a kitten posted:How many false starts you all figure you'll have? In any game with character creation and stat picking I almost always have a few times where I play a bit and then realize I want to go all in on Str, or Dex sucks, or I picked the wrong nose or something and restart after some arbitrary time. I usually end up with false starts on most From games, the only one I didn't was Bloodborne and that was because I knew the Tonitrus was a thing, and it used Arcane. Love that little lightning rod. For Elden Ring, I'm hoping for no false starts at all as I've told myself I'll struggle through with only my first character. ...We'll see how long that lasts though.

So I'm not familiar enough with Souls to understand the magic. I think I'm most interested in that cleric type character starting class that had the faith and str, I think it was the Confessor. But how does magic work with having a sword and shield, or even with having a big 2 hand style weapon? Is it pretty easy to swap between the magic and using either your 2 handweapon, or the sword/shield? Or do you need to basically have a hand free all the time in combat? and for that matter, what about switching between different spells themselves? Do you basically have to go into combat with one or are there hotkeys? Drunk Driver Dad fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Feb 13, 2022 |

I haven’t paid attention to the game’s mechanics at all but generally you can have 2 items equipped per hand (in other souls game) so you can sword and shield then have the faith-casting item (bell) as the other item in the other hand. So in combat you rock the plank and blade until an opening present itselfs, press the d-pad to swap, and cast a spell.

Zero. I have little patience for replaying parts of a game that I had just played through. I'll just roll with it and accept the sub-optimal stat distribution if I decide to switch gears partway through a run.

I wouldn't be surprised if they had the equivalent of weapon sets as well, so when you switch to your gigasword your items are different than when you've got your focus equipped.

Dark Souls 1 and Bloodborne have 2 slots per hand, DS2 and DS3 have 3 slots per hand. Bloodborne has no equipload system, so it is absolutely optimal to have all 4 slots filled. It is not in the DS series. Because weapons in the swap slots still cost valuable equipload, slowing your rolls. In general, it's okay to have a lightweight catalyst or a bow in the swap slots, but not a large weapon.

Sum Gai posted:Even more controversial take: it should be based off multiple stats, with some giving more of a boost than others. I'm of the opinion that this would be the best way to deal with equipload. Have say END give 0.5 equipload per point, STR give 1.0 per point. That way a non-caster non-strength player has some equipload budget to play with at endgame fashion souls, and a burly STR player who needs to lift their chonk stick gets alot of it.

Sum Gai posted:Even more controversial take: it should be based off multiple stats, with some giving more of a boost than others. The most solid take: it’s a complex algorithm based on all stats except one, which is decided based on which day of the week your character is made on. Your character is also randomly left/right handed (1% chance to roll ambidextrous) and your blood type affects how various NPCs interact with you. Your character is always allergic to swamps.

Eminently reasonable. (It is actually a serious suggestion- tying equip load to one stat that does something else, regardless of which it is, makes that stat a little too strong, but it's not powerful enough on its own to justify a dedicated stat like vitality; and there's precedent across the series with how defense or hp goes up with every soul level increase, regardless of which specific stat was raised) Sum Gai fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Feb 13, 2022 |

First person games must be played with kbm- fact. Souls is best with controller, it's needless extra masochism to do otherwise.

Actually, speaking of equip load, I've heard that the character sheet now openly displays your roll state. Is that true? What did the network tests use for roll breakpoints? Does it work like the granular system of DS2 or more like DS3? Bloodborne is the best souls game for getting rid of equip burden entirely, btw

Corin Tucker's Stalker posted:I don't know if this is helpful, but one of my favorite LPs of all time is Kay Plays going into the original Dark Souls blind. It's amazing seeing someone go from being uncomfortable moving the camera around with a controller to being way better than myself by simply talking things out, staying calm, and being observant. She also has a fun (as in, not forced or annoying) sense of humor. The DS3 run ended super early, alas.

I'm terrible about this in RPGs in general but not in souls games. I just go with the flow and usually end up with a pretty balanced stat distribution. It helps that in general, stats are not THAT important in these games (the most important thing is weapon upgrades) and most builds will work at least reasonably well.

Dumb question. Is it officially known yet if cracked pots are a Zelda bottles capacity situation but for firebombs and holy water? Or is the gift of cracked pots just an extra step added to the usual black firebombs gift used once and gone? Because a quick casual glance at the internet has me failing to find any details beyond wikis categorizing the Cracked Pot as a "Key Item" needed to craft thrown stuff that "mends itself"... and then listing crafting recipes for fire pots that make no mention of the Cracked Pot itself. Am I overthinking this and it is just a simple case of "Get once to unlock throwing pots crafting forever?" At least I learned ahead of time that apparently holy water consumes FP according to their description. Which brings me the mental image of a dumb caveman or Belmont whip build running out of FP before they run out of holy water

Most FPS games are made for pad these days imo. Outside of sweaty multi-player shooters I guess. Also Wolfenstein, that only worked kbm because it chooses to handle like a 30 year old game.
