I recognise this lady from Whatculture gaming. She's completely obsessed by the series.

Ah! Are you gonna try out a bit of rolling action in Souls, Cumberdanes? :D . I recall you streaming play through a whole level without any clothing or armour and - iirc - just using a spoon or something as your weapon? :lol: .

I started a run as a deprived character class with the rule that I couldn’t change my gear and I once played an hour armed with a ladle.

The ladle was painful to use as it does no damage it breaks very easily.

So Jawa, I've noticed a lot of Souls posting from you lately... building up to anything? ;)

Haha! If I were to stream Souls then it'd be with me starting a fresh run (or, realistically, crawl) of Souls Remastered. I enjoyed (with a wee bit of AAAaargh!) it so much before. Apart from the dang Capra Demon, obvs.

No need to restart, just go to an earlier area to get in some practice and Souls.

True, man, but I like the idea of a fresh play - those earlier areas are fun to travel through. Moar Blighttown :lol: :toot:.

Would you go for a different kind of build this time jawa or stick with something similar? If I recall rightly you were a fan of the big two handed swords last time round?

I'm... not sure, Jenuall. First time I was a Knight but the second time something a little faster... "warrior", maybe, IIRC? I liked that second run and I think I'd go with that type again.

Excited to see what you choose! There are always cool new weapons to try out in Souls. Just a suggestion but you could try a bow or crossbow in your second slot - not as your main weapon, but I find it adds a bit of variety and can be handy in certain situations!

I genuinely find that fun, though, Pedz. Those early stages are incredible; the atmosphere, the environments, the tension... just so good :-).

Yeah, that sounds neat, site. I did briefly use some kind of bow in my last run... only a bit, but I shot the tail off that dragon on the bridge! And thus I gained a cool sword IIRC!

Ah of course! Shooting off the Drake Sword is a classic Dark Souls moment :D :toot:

Yeah, I hadn't known about it during my first run but then I saw Pedz playing the game and he was absolutely lamping enemies that I'd struggled with... that's when I found out about the Drake Sword. IIRC, it's a great weapon to have up until you reach Blighttown.
