Dark Souls II

[Nope]

My son bought this game for himself. He played the first Dark Souls and loved it so much that he spent a lot of time telling me about the lore and how hard the game was. Unfortunately for him, he lives in the dorms during the week and works on weekends so he hasn't really gotten to play yet.

I called and asked him if I could play his new game. His response was that he thought I should wait until he got home so he could explain certain things but he didn't mind if I used his game. Because I don't mind dying, I started a character and I LOVE THIS GAME.

By the time he came home this weekend, I already had figured out what I needed to do without his help. LOL It is sort of funny that his mom might beat the game before he does. Admittedly, I haven't gotten very far because I like to farm those souls so I just keep killing everything until they stop respawning.

There are some areas of the game that I just like to look at the gorgeous scenery. Some video games should be considered works of art.

So I never played DS I, about to start up DS II.

Any of those 'I hate myself' character build issues I should be aware of?

I'm not looking to munchkin anything, but I'd hate to make things unnecessarily hard on myself having not played the first installment.

Thanks!

Don't try to kill the pigs in Majula.I am at the beginning of the game so I don't know what is up with those demonic swine but just leave them alone.
