just to illustrate how people perceive difficulty different in Souls
It's p. bizarre. Apparently a lot of good players got stuck on Aldrich whom I beat 2nd or 3rd try. I was genuinely surprised when I finished my first run, read the comments and found all this wailing and moaning about Aldrich.
Also NK gave me a lot of trouble on my first run. After about 20 tries I just summoned a bro. But a year later I beat him 2nd try, with a similar Strength build, without really improving at the game (still couldn't beat Pontiff or the Princes). As I said, bizarre.
