    Bro had to put that showcase there themselves, so they are just signaling their preferences here

      I started playing it the other day just to get the last few achievements, but I forgot in order to collect a lot of the spells you need to be a fuckin’ spell caster so now I have to start all over again and I don’t wanna… I hate the first few areas of DS2 so, so fucking much. Especially the god damn iron keep.

          Yeah, I’ve got them all apart from the “Master of X” ones. Life is too short to get all of them without a guide, and if you’re just following a guide, then what’s the point?

          I think some of the rings only appear on NG++, as well? Dark Souls 2 at least mixes up the new game cycles by adding more enemies, unique armours, and giving the bosses additional moves to ruin your day. DS1 and 3 just make everything tankier, which you can replicate by not levelling up so much, and I’ve completed all of them at SL1 anyway.

          (SotFS is an utter nightmare at SL1. Rolling is tied to adaptability, which you can only increase with a few bits of armour and rings, and you can’t just run straight into the DLC to get them. Takes some ingenuity, and makes eg. the Sinner a hardcore boss, as you can’t hide behind a shield and your dodging needs to be nearly perfect.)

        Ds1 wasn’t bad because the most you had to upgrade a covenant to was +2 and everything for that was easily farmable. You had to get to anor londo on new game +2 because you had to kill the good girl Sif 3 times to get all the items made from her soul.
