I have two questions for you!
In a week I'm going to play Dark Souls for the first time (essentially). I know I'll like it because I've played the tutorial segment and watched my friend play Demon's Souls. Should I stream it? What kind of build (please be vague so I have room to fuck up) is good for someone just starting and not planning to use a guide at all for any missables?
dont actually play it because it's a bad game filled to the brim with terrible game design flaws disguised by the community as "difficulty"
no, terrible camera controls are not difficulty, it's a flaw
Stream it for fun. Why not? As for starting builds, you wont know how you want to play until you get in there, find a weapon you like, and determine your scaling based upon it.
Just do it. Who cares?

The camera seemed kind of flawed when I played it but I really like the theme, setting, and characters enough to overlook that. Additionally the gameplay is interesting at least.

i guess if this is your first FROM game, maybe

The reason I asked if I should stream it is because I've seen people say they would absolutely love to play it for the first time again so I thought if the response was consistent in this thread I would share my own! I appreciate your advice with the build; with some games a wrong build decision on the first playthrough can cripple your experience so I just thought I'd ask in case there was an element of that present in Dark Souls.

It is. I obviously can't argue any of your points too extensively as I've barely experienced it but I'm sure a game with such a devout following musn't be too rough mechanically, r-right?

well theres still people out there watching Dark Souls streams, so you never know what can happen. Just have fun, thats all that matters.
I cant comment fully on builds, but most people will go with STR builds or a mixture of dex/str, but again it all depends on your preferred playstyle and what weapon you can find and enjoy using.

That's really interesting; I've never even heard of that!

Thanks! Appreciate the lack of spoilers.

Thanks for your support anon! I was thinking either greatswords, spears, or rapier type weapons.
