Dark Souls II

[Bob Kelso]

Have any of you played any of the titles in the "Souls" series? I played the first Dark Souls and after much ranting and foaming at the mouth I beat it and then beat it once more with an entirely different character build. I know, not the most skillful boast considering the skill level of some of the Dark Souls community but these games are damnably hard so I'm proud nevertheless.

I'm only at the beginning stages of II but I'm enjoying it immensely, and I've come to find that I'm a glutton for punishment when it comes to a good challenge now. The movements are slightly different from DS, but not so much as to be an inconvenience. I love the changes to the healing systems, having a limited amount of Estus will prove quite challenging later on and the secondary healing items help buff the lack of flask swigs.

My only request is that you please keep any major information (that should be obvious as to what that is but, for instance; bosses, major plot occurrences, etc.) under spoiler tags in case some gamers wish to discover things for themselves!

Please share your sojourns through the world of Dark Souls II with us, or you can share your macabre tales from the first title as well!
