is there any difference between the gods you choose at the beginning? like does it change anything gameplay wise other than which savepoints have npcs at them?

Still not sure exactly what it effects but there are a bunch of other gods/factions you can find it seems like so don't sweat it too much, it's not permanent. I abandoned my starter for the cleric god and some of the NPCs in my first save point got a little pissy but they'll still do business with me and everything (I think they're charging me more though?)

Let me take you for a ride.
Games cool, combat is fast, weapons feel different, lots of customization options. Bosses are pretty fun to fight and challenging, the character art is poo poo, but the enemy designs are much better.And there are upgrades to your movement just like in SOTN to get around, as well as many secrets, which are pretty rewarding.

Not sure how I feel about the music, its alright i guess.

The covenants are pretty interesting in that they determine what items you get from any vendors you place using your offerings, and the leaders I assume offer different rewards that cater to different playstyles. You can also find more covenants throughout the island. Weapon crafting is pretty simple, just gotta find materials off enemies or bosses to make unique weapons.

While its a straight souls ripoff in alot of ways, whats there is pretty inciting and deep, and has kept me playing for a while. Its good for scratching that itch until DS3 comes out.

the bosses seem mostly easy so far but they'd probably be way harder if i wasnt using the biggest weapons i could find

I just beat a dragon boss that was kinda hard but I think it was cause I was under leveled. there was a shield near him that 100% blocked fire attacks so like half his moveset was just nullified by blocking though

alchemist would have been way harder if he had more hp, the last attack pattern he has when he's low is pretty nasty

queen of smiles was fun and got me good until i figured out just how much reach the claymore has

The game looks okay i guess but the character artwork just screams edgy high school notebook margin scribbles which takes me out of iy immediately

Like I'm just expecting to kickflip a zombie into 720 tombstone any minute while limp bizkit blares in the bg right

I found him by accident after getting to sunken keep and going out backwards.

The only thing that bugs me is how inconsistent rolling is. Like some bosses / enemies you can roll through attacks and models but on like queen of smiles you just can't roll through her at all

the dodge timing takes some getting used to. it was frustrating me at first too but I've gotten used to the timings for it now and it's pretty consistent. I even went back and started a new character and beat the first boss on the ship at the start by just rolling through his attacks

Have you tried magic yet? I'm doing str/wisdom paladin and it's fun but I'm wondering if magic is fun too

the character I just started is also a paladin and I've only tried out the heal spell so no clue really :shrug: one thing I noticed is that it seems when you use a spell it decreases your max stamina until you rest which is kind of a neat mechanic I'm assuming they put in to prevent spell spamming
