Yeah I thought we were talking about stuff Fromsoft puts into the game themselves. If we're talking about modding then go hog wild. Hell that'll be my new canned response, if you want something to make the game easier then you're free to buy the game on PC and mod it in. Go nuts.

Four more hours. I'll see you fuckers in the lands between sigher posted:I remember Sekiro coming with huge "You can play on Keyboard and mouse, but it's strongly recommended you use a controller" message.

I've always loved using the mouse for a camera, but with Souls games being so lock-on heavy it didn't feel like I needed the precision of mouse camera. Personally I don't like the attack/defense buttons on L/R, if it weren't for strats with rolling I'd probably be a KBM boy myself. If you hate yourself (and I imagine everyone here does) you can do a frankencontrol scheme; hold a controller in you left hand for full movement, hold a mouse in your right for full camera control. Did this nonsense for my second playthrough of sekiro  . Deflecting was a lot easier for me on a mouse button at least

From loves having rather tight triggers for NPC quests (or at least one tight window) and I would never trigger that on my own I fully anticipate missing most NPC quests, and maybe failing to complete any, on my first run. I enjoy figuring them out and I love what their mystery contributes to the feel of the game's world. It feels like these characters are on their own quest that has nothing to do with mine, which helps breathe life into them.

Willfrey posted:if you are bored, don't mind early spoilers, and just want to quickly unlock all base features of the game (like enabling weapon arts, spirit ash, etc) Fextralife had a good little early start guide. General tips I picked up, filtering out all of the general souls-series tips: The following key items can be found right at the start of the game, don't go past the 3rd bonfire without them: The horse Whetstone Knife allowing you to use weapon arts Torch, Crafting Kit, Telescope (from a merchant) Return to the first few campfires after you make "some progress" and try resting at them. This unlocks the ability to summon NPC spirits You can get an early 100% physical block shield from the guards in the early ruins as a random drop Thanks to the open world you can cheese a lot of fights by backstabbing an enemy, running until it drops aggro, then returning to backstab them again (hey it's Sekiro!) Equip weight doesn't matter on horse so you can min/max powergame by equipping your heaviest armor when mounting up Buy Stonesward Key whenever you see it, it's the equivalent of DS2's stones of pharros Catacombs contain (loot type spoilers) Spirit Ashes and Spirit Ash upgrade materials Caves and Mines contain (loot types) special equipment and ore for upgrading gear Towers contain magic and equipment for mages as well as spell attunement slots Collect every gesture you see because some puzzles require them The phrase "something guides the way" means there is an invisible platform nearby Militia Camps, Forts, etc - everything you see, contains good loot, so don't just ride past everything. But also feel free to bypass everything you can't handle yet and come back later. you can't respec until after a late-game boss and this video recommends focusing your stats and NOT going for a quality build but  I'm still going for a quality buildUpgrade materials are not rare deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Feb 24, 2022 |

Was thinking of starting with a magic or spellblade build the way I ALWAYS have since Demon's Souls on, but thinking I'll mix it up a little, given the brief rundowns I saw on Fextra about the starting classes. Confessor has a really nice mix of sword and board, faith, and stealth. Guess I'll *finally* try a STR/Faith build.

My very first DS2 build I lucked out trying powerstance maces which turned out to be one of the best weapons in the game, crushed smelter demon first try
