I'm an hour in and I have a couple notes for you: 1) Carrying weight is NOT a thing in Dark Souls. The only weight that matters is what you have equipped. There was no need to drop items. Eventually you will get a chest to "hide" your items in so that there's less clutter of things you can't/won't use, but there is no harm in holding them 2) The starter bandit knife has a VERY high crit stat. Making backstabs and parries with it will deal absurd amount of damage for how small the base damage is on it. It is basically as powerful as a big weapon but with a much faster moveset, so long as you try getting those crits. 3) The Morning Star is a noob trap like I said once I joined the stream. It's a Strike weapon which is great against the skeletons, and it does bleeding build up, but most enemies die before they bleed. It took until I reached Dragon's Valley to even see bleed being used on it. If you enjoy using it, don't let me dissuade you from having fun, but it has no combo moveset, so each strike is as slow as the first. 4) You got the Zweihander. I won't say more.
Oh, and you can't get invaded if you aren't human. There's some NPC invades that drop good items that only show up if you're human. But it also means players can't invade you either if you're hollow. Probably worth staying online just to get the messages to show up, because you won't be dealing with invaders most of the time.
I noticed the damage on the knives at the beginning of the stream but I thought they wouldn't be as OP as a big weapon. I'll test them out a bit more next time. I'll also test out the Zweigander a bit more. Maybe upgrade it a bit. I'll change it back to online next stream. Thank you so much for the info. It was a blast having you around.
Catching up now, also back-to-back running of your gaming channel on my laptop yesterday and today. Hope it makes up for the fact that I can never hang around long in actual streams due to the time diffs. Great streams and love your interaction with chat.
