I'm going to drown! For no reason at all!

Man it's so hard to make progress in this game when I'm having too much fun running around double jumping my horse and fighting dudes. I probably spent half an hour fighting the horse guys with the big curved sword just to get it, and every battle is really fun. It never got old. This game is special.

To recap: Souls games= not hard. This is not a souls game. This is hard

I feel blocked on all ends so spent the last while cooping with people. Gained 5.5k runes, then before I used them I casually decided gently caress it, I'm gonna try margot robbie myself again. Ofc I die, and theres no way to get my poo poo and get out without winning is there?

I'm bookmarking this but apprehensive that the game starts as, "First, die."

This is like the third time they’ve done this but yeah it’s a real lol moment if this is your entry to the series.

I should probably stop dumping every rune into int and maybe pad my health and stamina a bit but lol no gotta get int to 30 first. Maybe 40? Nothing is necessarily 1-hitting me… yet.

So I went ahead and started some performance monitoring to see exactly how lovely my framerate is and noticed somethin weird. CPU, GPU, RAM, none are averaging anywhere close to maxed out and yet I am averaging like 35 FPS. Any of yall seen anything similar? Already updated graphics drivers and dropped most settings to medium.

I just found a spell that requires 70 int so that's a good value to shoot for before you start working on other stats :getin:

Do you like dying in 2 hits and pelting enemies from afar with the same move/spell for the majority of a playthrough?

I found the actual boss version of the first giant you encounter, except now he has armour, a better sword, and magic. Thought I could handle him since I handled the original but the original guy was more polite.

I’m thinking getting end to like 12-15, whatever gets me 100 stamina. Then maybe throw some vit with int until vit is like… 15? Maybe 20? Mind I’ll probably park for now since it doesnt get me spell memory but maybe I should crank it a bit more to maximize my flasks.

I'm what the kids call: a big nerd
about 6 hours after I got this cool sword I've been using, i learn that its already good and strong L2 has a special follow-up attack if you use R2. incredible

also i can finally use incantations! i cant use them very well, mind you, but they look cool.

as a sidenote, I'm really hoping j can find more somber smithing stones soon, because my sword is currently only +1

I've got a 3080, 16gb ram, nvme ssd, 3600 CPU.

Yesterday I turned everything to maximum, 1440p res, and it was ok with a few half-seconds of 2 or 3 fps once in a while, but otherwise smooth.

Today I installed the game-ready Nvidia driver and at one point my monitor actually turned off briefly, and i'm having 1+ second stutters in the same places that were ok yesterday, with no movement on my screen at all during the stutter. What the gently caress? Help please!

Does anyone know if you have to be in the same region to get HP boosts from message ratings? I was getting them all the time when I loaded into Limgrave, but now in the castle I've hardly had a peep.

I could use a bit of spoiler-free advice: how frequent are Smithing Stones as the game goes on, do they ever become easily farmable? I'd cleaned out a bunch of mines and have enough to buff up one of my weapons, but I'm not a big fan of anything I'm carrying. Can I just fuckit and buff something as a placeholder weapon, or is it like Bloodborne/Demon's where stones will never not be precious?

I was nearly invincible yesterday thanks to a clever message placed behind the building you emerge from at the beginning. Hits have slowed down, I assume because everyone has the game and have moved beyond that area with their characters

Four hours ago I had zero issues (after 8 hours of gameplay). Went away, had dinner, my kid played a bit on his PC using family share… and now it’s having massive stutter issues. Urgh.

It's basically BOTW without the bad combat; also good luck not running into a boss because sometimes I've just stumbled across them without trying. lol It's great.

They also removed weapon durability instead of adding it, perfect.
