To clarify this a bit I made my own version of a map of DS1 and 2's map design that I found on google
As you can see DS3's world isn't as interconnected as DS1 which is what people generally are displeased about. The levels themselves are pretty great, but you quickly realise that there aren't a lot of them and you quickly discover that you'll have to take a route that is even more linear than in the previous games. With that being said I am aware that you can take the lord bosses in nearly whatever route you fancy with the exception of abyss watchers, but you can't do the same kind of sequence breaking as you could in DS1.

So I just beat the Soul of Cinder for the first time, and I'm not sure if I fulfilled the "Usurp the Flame" conditions. When I approach the bonfire, all I get is the "Link the Fire" prompt, and nothing else. I'm scared to press A on the bonfire, though, if it locks me into that ending.
I was able to summon Yuria at the fog gate, too.

I think untended graves is just the real firelink, and the one that is your hub is just an illusion, like how Aldia said the fire was an illusion. The hub area actually isn't connected to the world at large and you have to warp in and out of it, but untended graves is actually connected to the world by way of Lothric, whereas firelink the hub only appears to be next to the side of Lothric but you can't actually venture out. The first time you warp out of firelink you don't make it to a bonfire instead you arrive at a room that has a lordvessel and a coiled sword, which is what you just warped with, and may be their "mirror versions" in the non-illusory world. Not a single bonfire in the game is already lit when you get to it including the one at firelink, which begs the question what the firekeeper was even doing at firelink shrine the whole time you weren't there. Untended graves also has black knights which makes sense since we learn firelink is actually the kiln of the first flame. The firekeeper's eyes make her see everything for how it really is, which is to say she just sees the place as the untended graves.

Yes hello I'm am Vuuti Video can I have my youtube bux now.

But no really what of the story you can kinda feel out so far in DS3 is cool.
>>
>>139194628
Of course it won't be, there aren't as many core gamers on PC as on consoles. A huge portion of the PC fanbase just plays MMOs and MOBAs, and don't have specs required to run something like DS3. It's still selling pretty fucking well for a PC game, and even when it isn't that good of a port.

Trying to go for a Straight Sword and Shield build, but all the swords have complete ass scaling with Strength. Except for the Dark Sword but I'm not a faggot so I really want to avoid that sword.
Am I seriously subjugated to going Dex build for my sword, or is there a sword that I don't know about that has good scaling off of Strength?
I'm as of right now just using Astora's Straight Sword with a Raw Gem on it.

Just play the game how you want. If it was up to the people in these threads you'd be going through the game using your fists with no armour at level 1 so you can measure your dick with the other autists.
>>
>>139194931
But isn't it actually a good thing? Souls games were never about non-linearity anyway.
You won't get confused as fuck, you won't get to locations you are underleveled to to get mad and lost, you won't get overleveled for main locations so it won't break the intended difficulty and you won't be bored. In other souls games it is almost the same linearity but separated by difficulty gaps and not by progression.
Not even to mention that areas here are usually much bigger than in other games so there is maybe even more exploration now.
I just don't get why people are so mad about it sometimes, it seems more like an intentional design feature than just abandoning old ideas over nothing.

This game has so many fucking ambushes. I dont even need to play cautiously anymore since everything is a fucking ambush or trap.

Oh look, corpse on a ledge with an item? Something is going to drop behind me or climb up.

Long hallway? Oh, look at those shadows obviously showing some asshole above me

Bunch of corpses in the middle of nowhere. Shoot one with an arrow and watch them all jump up

Same set ups over and over and over and over and over again.

Yeah, the standard in DaS was fucking abysmal and ruined any fun potential the game had beyond very low level PVP instead.
>EVERYONE can fastroll in heavy armor
>EVERYONE has CMW/sunlight blade/darkmoon blade, it isn't even a choice because you're gimping yourself if you don't use it
>EVERYONE has maxed out combat stats as well as enough points in dex/str for their favorite weapon
And somehow it only got worse in DaS2.

DaS3 has the POTENTIAL to actually be fun as FUCK online, if people just stick to relatively low end levels. I finished the game at 84 and felt like I grinded way too much.

Don't worry about soloing him, he's an overtuned piece of shit that only autists fight until they can do the whole thing without getting hit.
I noticed after only two attempts that he's bullshit, so I simply kicked his ass with some jolly coop. I did solo every single other boss in the game up to this point, but NK is just garbage as he is now.
