You get additional roll iframes at 105, 111, 114, and 116, however agility increases more slowly (specifically 7 times slower, so 1 adaptability is 3/28 a point of agility instead of 3/4) once it hits 110. So if you want to push higher because your iframes aren't quite enough for your taste, 105's a reasonable goal, and 111 isn't too out of reach (it's only just past where the slowdown starts, you could get it at 30 att/40 adp for example), but 114 and 116 will be much much bigger investments. I stop at 105, personally. Vil fucked around with this message at 20:13 on Feb 18, 2017 |

Speaking of which WHY DO HEIDE KNIGHTS RESPAWN

I played through the game recently and was able to get 21 out of 30 tokens, and that's despite failing a few invasions.

Anyone else not like the concept of +1 and +2 rings? It seems like an excuse to leave the originals under powered, force people to NG+, and is a cop out for more ring diversity. It'd also have been nice to have bonfire ascetics in this game.

The whole point is that they're not "forcing" you to do NG+, they're just nice extras. It'll only bother you if you're both concerned about min/maxing but also don't care about min/maxing enough to want to do NG+. Personally I'd take this over NG++ being mandatory for achievements, so I guess it just comes down to what bothers you more. e: actually you need NG++ anyway, but I still prefer just rings over iconic spells and weapons being in NG+. I'd be happy with no power level increase in NG+, but the design of a small power increase for doing NG+ isn't outrageous. hampig fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Feb 19, 2017 |

7c Nickel posted:Ask Lake is very definitely a physical place at the bottom of the world. You can see it from the Tomb of the Giants too. Yeah Ash Lake isn't metaphysical. The game plays loose with the actual distance - you'd have to descend a lot further through the Great Hollow/Tomb of the Giants for the Ash Lake/pre-Nito skyboxes to fit - but they're really there. A few item descriptions, mostly the wooden shields with good magic defense, mention the "stone archtrees" that show up in the opening cutscene, where Gwyn &co. kill all the dragons. Lordran is literally built upon and carved out of the canopy of a giant forest of stone archtrees. It makes a few things fit neatly, too - like, Anor Londo sits up on that high cliff because it's on top of the tallest tree, and moreover that cliff is green, it's stone foliage. The impossible architecture everywhere, even for shitholes like the Undead Burg, makes more sense when people can just carve themselves a home. The big chasms like the Valley of Drakes are gaps in between the crowns of separate archtrees. What's not clear to me is whether the entire world is covered in an archtree forest, or indeed what the shape of the world is in general. But maybe I'm thinking about it too hard. There's an undercurrent of stone-based life that I don't really get. Archtrees, dragons have stone scales (except for Seath, what a bitch). There's an interview I can't be bothered to find where Miyazaki calls the Gaping Dragon a mineral-based creature.

I liked the southern ritual band in DS2 - it gave an extra spell slot for each of the + versions, and made it feel like a very solid upgrade each time.

It was interesting how the ds2 ones weighed more. But in practice you just cleared up the weight because the + rings were super good in it

The armory on his back is the most distinctive feature for me. If I go back to ds2 I'm going to have to figure out a good weapon to focus on going in because it seems like there's a thousand trap builds in that game for its hundred good builds

While DS3 is basically "quality or bust" as far as physical attacks go (in my opinion), DS2 is more favorable to letting you raise only one of str and dex, though raising both still has its benefits. Upgrade materials are reasonably plentiful, especially if you multiplayer (bellbros are showered in chunks unless they changed that, and small stone co-op is great for getting all sorts of useful miscellany from the crows). And no matter what your build, it's a good idea to have some sort of ranged option with good distance on hand, be that a crossbow, a bow, a greatbow, or some sort of magic. Light Crossbow and Short Bow in particular are very easy to hit the stat requirements to use. As far as melee weapons go, there are tons of options as in every souls game, so really just play around with things where you like the moveset. Popular weapons are, of course, popular for a reason, so you can't really go wrong with things like rapier or mace.

When in doubt, raw crossbows. They hit reasonably hard and can always be used to pull in a game where the monsters will never, ever forget about you.
