From Software The Dark Souls II Megathread™

All classes have a stat total of 54 accounting for Soul Level.





More stat info.

 

Gonna take me a bit to remember that Vitality has nothing to do with your HP.

Interesting that the Bandit has such low Adaptability while the Knight has one of the highest. Odd stat in general. Move speed + evasion bonuses... but also defensive bonuses. Doesn't seem like they go hand in hand.

 

you can do fat fucks aswell. but i like my characters to resemble me . tall and and ripped as fuck

All the trophies in high res (basically what I posted before but with a couple more NPC trophies, covenant trophies, etc)

You just know that king is gonna be a badass.

 

Badass like the last two?

 

And they were; the way they moved, looked, and what they represented.

 

Decay and depression?

They were not "badass" in any sense of the word.

 

If decay and depression could be badass, it would be those bosses.

 

Don't get me wrong. Both King Allant and Gwyn are interesting characters. And both WERE badass.

Were is the key word is.

 

Is it true that in DS2 fat = poise?

 

Supposed leaked soundtrack...it's not even on reddit yet :3

Seems legit.

 

What the hell? The deprived used to be a very good all arround starting char which could get a couple of levelups to become any type of build, now he looks like truly a hardcore challenge since most of his stats are mediocre and barebones at least.
Looks like I will go for a knight or a wanderer for my starting char since the usual grinding around for new gear for the deprived could prove too tough for getting used to the first playthrough
Btw while getting ready for one of the most hardcore games I am having a blast playing Stick of Truth which could be "my baby's first RPG" but it is so fun I laugh out load all the time

 

Eh, the Deprived starts 10+ levels lower than the other classes. In Dark Souls he was only a few levels below. So it evens out quite quickly.

 

Dark Bead?

My PS3 is homebrewed to play pirated games, but it means I can't play online so I can't get the full DS2 experience. So I must wait for the PC version while it taunts me. Hoist by my own retard

 

First boss. I didn't watch the video, because there's a limit to how much I want to spoil myself, but oh well, maybe one of you doesn't mind spoilers. Btw I love the graphics, looks so much better than the screenshots.

this boss looks easy as fuck and than he stomps your ass and OHK

and darth maul blade seems to be quality weapon

 

So the more mundane weapons are better... wait what? It broke easily?

 

Low durability, I presume.

 

Apparently durability is a much bigger deal in Dark Souls 2, and stuff in general breaks more easily.

 

But durability resets every time you rest at a bonfire. Thank God for that.

 

Dark Souls 2 Livestream right now: http://www.twitch.tv/srslytellmehowtoplay/b/508496457

This is episode 1, you can find the live one by clicking the guys name.

 

So no more manual repairs at bonfire?

Whew, thanks for that From! Stupid monotonous shit.

 

That is one of the changes which I didn't like in DS2; yeah it helps with dumbasses who never fix their stuff but low durability forces you to go to a bonfire for automatic fixing anyway so why even have the system anyway now?
As enticing as the live plays are now this is as far as I will go with the spoilers; I want to experience the game completly blind the first time and then watch some ENB or other players to try different stuff or a diffrent build but I want to savor the experience...it s like last week I got the movie Vertigo and before watching it I checked out Roger Ebert's review and on the first paragrahp there was the mayor plot spoiler...I mean I had avoided that from a 60 year old movie only to spoil myself 5 minutes before watching the damn thing
