Im gonna start as a prophet and you can't stop me.
After theory crafting since all the starting classes were made available, I believe my most optimal starting class for my 1st playthrough and the build I want to make will be Samurai. Yeah, perhaps it’ll be a popular starting class, considering it looks cool and you start with a Katana AND a short bow, but idc. Those definitely are great plusses, but the main reason aside from the weapons & armor is of course the stats. Probably going more of a “quality build” route, aka equal STR & DEX for my first playthrough so I can test out way more weapons than me being limited to STR weapons like I typically am on first playthroughs of Soulsborne games.
My man just forget that stuff and enjoy the fantasy lol, Samurai will be sick. Your entire reason could be "kitaner" and that's good enough.
Yeah I think they were goin for D&D thief stuff with using magical trinkets and augmenting bleeds etc. I think if anything will affect the crit multiplier it will be jewelry again, especially since I hear their scope of effects has broadened massively.
That’s why I said “but idc”, lol. But eah I’m certainly not too worried about min/maxing on a first playthrough build. But I still want it to be viable for PvP since I’ll be using the item that allows you to be invaded solo as soon as I get it. And if it’s similar to the dried finger where you have to keep using it, then I’ll do just that. Tbh the fact that you can’t invade/be invaded solo unless you use an item is kinda weird for a Miyazaki Souls-like game, wish it was flipped and you had to to use an item to NOT be invaded solo, but it is what it is.My man just forget that stuff and enjoy the fantasy lol, Samurai will be sick. Your entire reason could be "kitaner" and that's good enough.
Plus it's just the starting point in a brand new game, caution to the wind I say.
Quality builds are probably the most convenient way to experiment with weapons so I'd say that's a smart path, but it's not like you can really waste points yet either.
I'm goin for some mix of Faith/Dex/Arcane Witch Hunter/Bloodborne style character.

Increased item discovery synergizes with the portable crafting kit, which will validate a lot of playstyles that just weren't that fun or encouraged in the past.
I suspect the certain spells Arcane affects will probably be along the lines of spells and weapons that scale with it, or Ashes of War that scale with it. We'll see tomorrowish
I too go out of my way to point out things that I don't actually care about, haha.
I'm confident your build will be more than viable for pvp. This is the golden discovery period, after all. Gonna be wild lol.
It's because the horse isn't allowed in multiplayer, so if invasions were the default you'd be getting booted off your mount constantly and that sounds dreadful without opting in first. Although I'm sure if they were able to get mounts working in mp then things might have been different, hard to say.

I don't know anything about the game, i've been actively avoiding all trailers and videos about it cuz i want the day 1 experience. That's why i'll start as prophet cuz my FAITH will carry me through. Imma be praying and blessing and summoning all up in this bitch.
I didn’t “go out of my way”, I mentioned it in passing in my post. Literally dedicated only one sentence (barely) to even referencing it. Ya gotta just hold the L on this one, lol.
Interesting, honestly that’s not great design. I definitely wouldn’t like horses to be available to be used in PvP, but even if you “opt in”, the same thing will be happening where it kicks you off the horse anyway. I don’t think that’s a good enough reason for it not to be the other way around, just my opinion tho ¯\(ツ)/¯
Let me know how you like it!
Are you trying to play it on keyboard and mouse?
No, it's only showing controller controls so I'm using an xbox 360 controller. It's like it keeps trying to reset the camera or something.
Hmm thats not cool, I haven't fired it up yet. Maybe might have to turn off steam controller support or whatever that is called.
Maybe, yeah. So far I'm really not feeling it.
Not feeling the game? Is this your first soulsbourne game?
Nah, I've played them before. So far it just feels like an arpg from 2009. Hoping I can get into it but so far I severely dislike it. It could just be a bad pc port and console players might have a better experience.
Interesting, souls games for me start slow and takes me a bit to get into them. I hope that is still the case for this one.
A few issues but I'll keep messing with it. I've been depressed and worried all day for my Russian and Ukrainian friends, so I had some drinks before playing and just in a funk. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow and can give it another chance.
Don't worry, nobody on pc is able to progress cuz the game runs like cancer.
You playing on a potato friend?
That's weird, I'm using an Xbox controller too and I don't have any issue.
I have heard people are having probs but game runs good so far maybe a 1 frame drop every now and then but no micro stutters like a lot of people are complaining about.
