any tips for someone starting it up for the first time.
i got the fixes installed and the game running perfectly + 360 controller.
played a bit on a knight w/ the firebomb
game seems pretty difficult, right down my alley.
so prob gonna roll a new character now that i got a taste. For my first playthough I used cleric and master key so I could go down into valley of drakes below the firelink shrine and get Astora's Short Sword. It is a sword that scales with str/dex/faith at C level. The damage is 80/80/0/100 and only requires 14 faith to wield With two points into dex cleric can wield them very early and they are very very strong. The shield has 100% dmg reduction which makes the game so much easier to learn. Just make sure when you go down to the sleeping dragon you don't have any souls on you because he will kill you as soon as you get near. Just grab the two items in between his arms. Also the expansion dlc is coming out oct 23 for north america and oct 24 for europe on consoles with a $15 price tag.
Hmmm.. I'd recommend not getting the master key on first playthrough. It ruins the gruesome process of getting killed like a thousand times at the start of the game.

Well my first play through is a wrap. I think i ended up getting way too strong for normal game as everything became extremely easy. I used a +4 lightning garg halbred for awhile and in the end a +14 great axe. Only until Gwyn did I get my BKGA and leveled it to +5 so it hasn't got much use yet. I was a str/end/vit build and wore havels set. I was able to tank and spank most bosses quite easily near the end. I think im SL82 right now. I basically just casted power within every boss fight, ran in with shield up tanked a few swings, switch 2h big hit with +14 great axe, 2-4 of those and the boss would die.
I think the hardest boss near the end of my run was manus in the DLC content. He took a few tries to get right. This game is really amazing and I'm happy that I played it. I'm not sure I have the motivation to NG+ or to make my dex/int guy just yet. I know I will someday though!
GG Darksouls best single player game I've played in over a decade!
Well if you are going to play a powerful build (str), cast power within, use the strongest weapons and armor, and be overleveled, of course it's going to make things a lot easier. I don't consider the game to really start until new game + and beyond though, all you did was play the easy mode intro tutorial game, now you have to play the actual harder real modes. I don't beat diablo 2/3 (or even borderlands 1/2) on normal and say, yep I've beat the entire true game now. Go play through new game +(+) at least you coward

It's probably still selling quite well, so I don't think there's going to be a sale soon. But it's kind of hard to predict when sales happen anyway. $40 is still pretty cheap for a full game with dlc, was cheap enough to make me go for it without hesitation, but ultimately you'll have to make the choice yourself on if you want to pay that (already quite fair) price or wait for a sale that you can't predict coming. The ps3 and xbox versions are only $20 on amazon now, and the dlc will be $15.

I would wait until black friday if you want to save some money. the console version has been down to $20 for some time now.

Probably (I can't guarantee it though) in the winter steam sale and it's always possible it will go on a daily sale at any point. You can also find it cheaper on other sites that sells steam keys, the steam shop is usually more expensive unless there is a sale.

DLC comes out for consoles tomorrow. Thinking of starting from scratch to experience it rather than play an old character. Can anyone give me some insight as to the "soonest" in the game that you would naturally progress to the DLC content? I.e. can I start a character tonight and ring the bells or something. Any amount of content that the DLC would have literally no effect on up to a point.

You have to place the lordvessel on the altar(after beating S & O) to be able to get there, since the key item is past a gold fog gate.

"Increased enemy HP". Like, all of them? Really vague lol..
Thanks btw for answers.
Edit: I postulate the 1.06 patch today contained all the changes and such necessary for the DLC's release. So basically anything that was "different on PC than on console" is probably included in this patch (DWGR, etc).

Actually those site are pretty dodgy. They sell you out of region cd keys for discounts from places like russia. It wouldn't be the first time people are banned for that also.

That was already the case, at least for the pc edition. It was only flip at under 25% on pc release(still fast run under 50%). Maybe the patch also adds all the ptde edition changes to console then.

I believe that is the case. I don't have time to test it now but I will in the morning. Don't really understand why From doesn't post patch notes in a timely manner.

Yeah, I have seen people claiming they've been banned because they bought illegal copies of the game or something. It's been a good year or so and I haven't been banned. If anyone is afraid of losing other steam games, just put this version of Dark Souls on another account and the most you could lose is 20 dollars I guess.
