Once you have some decent points in your stats the souls spent on upgrading the weapons will matter a lot more. will do.

It is currently the most powerful one that I can fully use. But people are telling me to go for Uchiganata or the Claymore (I have both). However, they do a ALOT less damage than my drake. So I do not understand when people tell me to switch weapons. Thank you! My favourite Dex weapon is the balder side sword. Its a lot more powerful than the drake sword if you upgrade it just a little and has an awesome moveset. | ||

Aside from the Drake Sword, pretty much all the weapons in the game are balanced at max stats and upgrades. Some deal more damage per hit but are slower, some deal less damage but have secondary effects like bleed or poison. Some have special moveset characteristics (the Channeler's Trident casts a buff as its two-handed strong attack, Havel's Greatshield casts a defensive buff instead of a shield bash, and so on), some have extra bonus damage on backstabs/ripostes, some prevent undead resurrection. There are so many different options and they each have strengths and weaknesses. | ||

Agree, BSS was the first weapon I fell in love within DS. A big reason why people recommend you to switch weapons is just so you can see different movesets and figure out what you like. Otherwise people end up using Drake Sword -> Lightning Spear and then they have no clue what they actually like when both of those feel like crap. You can literally just play around, see what moveset suits you and then be confident that the weapon will scale well enough until the very end. Personally, if this is your first playthrough, I recommend so called "quality builds" just to be able to see the most in one go. Idea is that you get your str/dex up to at least 28/40 (40/40 is perfectly fine as well) just so you can handle most weapons in the game at least two-handed and just instantly pick something up and smack some heads in with it. | ||

I've never really supported this, simply because "just picking up and using" a weapon is never practical since everything will feel terrible when not upgraded. By the time you're far enough in to pick up something new and interesting after using something for a while, that first something you're holding will probably (SHOULD) have significant upgrades or an elemental path, in which case the stock weapon you test out will always feel rough. Sure it's a good way to test the move set, but it's the same reason people think the drake sword is so good, just because when STOCK, everything else does less damage. That quickly reverses after a solid +5 and especially +10/ele upgrades on the "normal" weapons | ||

Max level is when all of your stats have hit 99, so it varies based on starting class. Most chars don't level past 90-140 range for basic mainstat+vit+end builds (140 build being someone that probably has 2 mainstats and can do pretty much anything). | ||

For PvP the SL goal used to be 125 for PS3/XBOX and 120 for PC. If you don't care about PvP it doesn't matter, I recommend using your first char to level everything and try out stuff. | ||

The most annoying part of the Game was all the enviroment: Tomb of the Giants where you could not see the Hand before your Eye, Sen's Fortress where I died like 15 times or fucking Blighttown. -_- 37hrs and a Level80 Char is enough prep for DS2 for now, I guess. Too bad I played the first Half of the Game in 30fps and without HD Textures. The Game is 10 times better in 60fps. | ||

There are ramifications though, since the game is structured like a fighting game with a fixed framerate, hitboxes, and invulnerability frames for things like rolling. It's possible that DSFix just doubles everything, but you never know whether there will be gaps. I never played the 60fps mode for that reason. | ||

I got a first try BKH and had to quit because I missed killing a lizard. When I go back to load the save file, it simply isn't there. GG, RIP first try BKH. | ||
