I have a
plan. A few months ago I tried to play Dark Souls II and after
getting my head kicked in repeatedly by monsters in the earliest
areas (not to mention repeatedly rolling into the sea or leaping enthusiastically down chasms of my own volition) I have up.
I have,
however, been taking some advice before restarting.
The advice
for “easy mode” comes in two flavours. The first is to take the
Knight class because they can tank damage well and have pretty good
offensive abilities from the start. The other flavour of advice is to
take the Pyromancer class which starts with a pretty good ranged
magic attack and has at least some combat chops.
Having
discovered that the game accommodates multiple saves I intend to do
both and walk off in separate directions: Erza the Knight is going to
start the game by leaving Majula via Hiede's Tower of Flame and
Sabifa the Pyromancer will be leaving via the other end of the town
for the Forest of Fallen Giants (which has far more flammable
opponents, as I recall).
We'll see
who gets further.
I have also,
since my last attempt, acquired shoulders of giants to stand on
thanks to Dan Floydd of Extra Credits' Side Quest series and, to a
lesser extent, Yahtzee Croshaw and his good friend/victim Gabriel
Morton's old Let's Drown Out series.
Now I just
have to create these characters and, as the saying goes, prepare to
die (again).
