Cant you turn the camera thing off? I am not 100% but believe you can.
Also, playing this game to me it feels as if Dark Souls always should have been an open-world game. And I'm not a fan of open-world games in general.
But here it just fits.
The sense of scale is absolutely perfect.
Earlier you only had the huge bosses, and certain levels, but now you get the world and all these enormous bosses and specific locations, it's incredible, I feel so tiny while playing.

Looks like this shield doesn't even come up in menu to equip ash
I meant in the sense that you'll actually need to sit back and think about the fight and how to approach it. And also that it won't be a quick win like so many other bosses in the game.
It is just people joking around saying the turtles are designated as dogs on wiki pages etc. I would not think too much into it.
I got 59 fps for maybe a second, but otherwise the game runs at a solid 60 fps for me. I do get a stutter every now and then, though.
My #1 criticism of the game is that the music isn't ENOUGH like Skyrim. It's just not very interesting in any way and kinda contrasts against the utterly fantastic world in that way a little bit, I think.
Still, its more than serviceable as a backdrop for the game's exploration. Feel like they went for a super minimal BotW vibe, but went with pretty traditional fantasy fare rather than do something truly interesting like BotW did.
Without spoilers .... am I getting ahead of myself?
Started the game, explored the open world a bit, but headed in the direction of the big ol Castle right in front of me, managed to get to the big boss fight against Margit, but he was utterly wrecking me so I thought id go back and explore the world a bit. Ended up going all the way south to Morne Castle, and beating Leonine. Decided I gotten a bit better so headed back to the castle, summoned in 2 randoms for the fight against Margit, whooped his arse, and now im exploring this utterly massive castle. Have I gone ahead too far too early, or am I on the "right" path? There's still a huge open world to check out lmao.
The problem with the second fight after doing the upside down is that you dont have the space to maneuver. Tried to cheese her with poison dagger and she sent me to the depth after one slip up
You're doing fine, you should probably still explore more around Limgrave though
What I've been doing is going directly towards wherever the Grace is pointing me at, when I hit a wall I go and do some exploration and fighting other stuff, every 4-5 points of interest cleared I head back to the wall and take another couple of shots at it.
I was having a lot of trouble with a boss that resists physical dmg so went looking for an elemental option, I think it was a bad move investing in the Icerind Hatchet...is do damn strong that I'm needing to force myself not to use it to decimate every boss. Drop down an Ash Summon and spam L2 and before the boss turns back to face me it's down 4-6k HP.
I'm just breaking 30 faith at lv48 and I feel my incantations aren't doing enough damage to justify that many points into it, outside bosses that are particularly weak to them.
Maybe it's my catalyst thing? What are you guys using? Somehow, other than the starting one, I only found one so far, that one the big beast guy gave to me that improves beast incantations. I'm guessing I should have something better by now.

So I'm a new souls/elden ring player, my only experience with these types of games is mortal shell (thanks gamepass) . I didn't really get I to that much (I hated the shell blocking mechanic) , but I think the openworld aspect of elden ring is what is drawing me to take the plunge and buy the game.
For a new player what do people recommend on classes? Magic, shields, 2 handed or abit of everything?
I'm leaning towards samarai because it just looks cool 😎, do all classes get access to all armours? Or if different builds get different looking armours / weapons?

Any class can use any armor, but characters with low Endurance won't be able to use it to its full potential without sacrificing dodge speed.
As far as a recommendation goes, my general advice is that STR/INT seems like the attack stat combo the developers favored most this time around. You can have fun with a dex weapon if you like the Uchigatana but it took me over 50 hours, without exaggeration, to find another katana to replace it with, whereas STR and STR/INT players are getting dropped weapons like candy.

That's great to know thanks, part of the allure of exploration to me is finding new weapons /armours
Radahn and now gargoyle. Fuck poison, I hate just running bosses until you get a favorable RNG attack pattern to win. I miss sekiro.
I mean Sekiro had the exact same problem. Half the time if the boss didn't do the right string of attacks you never had an actual opportunity to strike back. This is why I got stuck on bosses like Owl and Ape so much.
Do what feels right to you. Trust me, the game will not let you get ahead of yourself. From has a way to put you in your place like you going straight to Margit. That was a no no per your skill level or equipment level.
Let's say you're doing STR and each time you add 1 to it, your Right Weapon damage increases by maybe 3, eventually, I think 45 it might start giving only 2 per level, then 55+ might be 1 per level. It'll always give you more damage, but you might find getting a bit more Endurance or Vigor might be more beneficial, or getting more FP to use better ashes.
Or if your weapon has dual scaling, maybe DEX will start to give more or the same bonus, but also the fall damage buff.
What a disappointment that no one reacted on the roundtable after defeating Redahn. Like not word even after what happens.
noooooooooooooooooooooooo

The starting Finger Seal is probably the best one if you use a variety of incantations. All other Seals boost spells of its respective incantation type like fire and so on. I think weapons that scale with Faith feel pretty strong but I'm also finding incarnations to be pretty weak right now. I mostly just use weapon buff ones and the Flame of Frenzy. Flame of Frenzy is pretty damn strong if every volley hits its target and it has a ton of stagger potential. I've staggered bigger bosses twice in like a minute just using a bunch of fully charged Flames of Frenzy whenever I had the chance.
Honestly, from previews and such, the Roundtable sounded more 'involved' with the NPCs doing things and moving around, but honestly, it's been pretty standard souls-type fare so far.
Which isn't terrible, I guess, but a lot of people bail out after a few conversations, and/or don't have much to say in the first place.
Go to the steam client, and in the upper left hand corner, manually click on 'check for updates for steam client' - that fixed the constant 'unable to launch, need to restart the cliient' issue for me.
Are you leveling your catalyst? I do like 600 damage with the frenzy eye laser from Liurnia at lvl 25 FTH and base catalyst at +14...I think? which is no Bloody Slash but it's ok.
I just did to her what she was trying to do to me, but I did it faster with the same spell.
I hear "blunt" is the way to go on these, but I'm not meleeing them with some weak low level mace as a caster. Guess I won't be beating them, because the spear user is obnoxious as FUCK. Can't get a single cast off because the asshole just infinitely hop-pokes at me the entire time.
I really can't stand most open-world games. This one, at least with my initial playthrough I quite liked, but at the same time very often wished it wasn't so open since I'm literally just riding past worthless-to-fight enemies trying to reach the next destination. It's just a lot of wasted space. At least they do offer legitimate "Dark Souls" experiences throughout, it's just a shame you have to spend so much time doing nothing to get there.

Do we know what the softcap is? Some things require 70 int... To me that is crazy.

Reduvia that drops from the NPC invader near the Murkwater Cave
Did Miyazaki have bad experiences with dogs as a child, or does he just really hate dogs.
Really I just wanna know why I audibly groan every single Fromsoft game whenever I see a dog. Knowing, these will be the most frustrating, common SOB's to deal with.
…Then they went and gave them wings and claws and fire breath.
Anyways, I got Bloody Slash last night after doing some exploration. I can see how it's considered so powerful haha. Am Level 40 and my Wolverine Claws are +7 and already have good Blood Loss, so Slash does feel a little more in line. But I can only imagine if I came across it before any big bosses. It wouldn't become a crutch so to speak, but you bet it'd become a major player since I didn't have Claws yet.
