I've been working on a quality character, but now that I've finished Dragon Shrine, it's kind of boring. All of the halberds have the same moveset, and none of the broadswords feel that exciting either. What do?

You always have the option to respec, just go find a stone!
Where are you stuck at the
Iron Keep?
Try different weapons some of the boss ones like the drake wing ultra greatsword have special R2 attacks. And it scales B for dex for some reason whilst being D for strength. Or try the Gyrm axe it's great axe move set whilst being an axe..
I have the most fun in Souls games when I am carrying the biggest hammer/sword/axe I can find.
Yep!
So true.
I actually meant to say NG, without the +.
My point was that after over 90 hours I still haven't beaten the game
I feel like you suck. Ate a crystal soul spear recently?
But in all seriousness, I still feel like I felt since weeks: the game clearly wasn't built to be played entirely without ambient lighting.
dayam dude lol
Haha, that was great. Didn't even know that area in Iron Keep existed (the lower platforms).
To adjust the flame glow and character halo glow without wrecking the rest of the lighting (it seems to be all tied in to the bloom, DoF glimmer, and the HDR adaption, which you've already noticed) you adjust the pointlightingcurveday/night a decimal point or two lower.
Or you can do what I do and just use the in-game brightness slider and knock it up one or two notches
Also, I've played up to Iron Keep with the mod on. I imagine the rest of the game is beatable too. Considering the amount of ambient light in the vanilla version, it's surprising how many sconces are near tunnels and dark alleyways. Everywhere that the game goes pitch black with the mod, there's a nearby sconce to help you.

I basically absorbed everything I can do in this game so far. Now I just want to know what the fuck is going on with the lore. Like how
King Vendrick is human but also 8 feet tall. And how the Giants of DaS2 look nothing like the Giants from DaS1. Or why the Chosen Undead's kooky adventure in Lordran doesn't even get a footnote in the history books.

then you are missing out on some very cool aspects of DS2
Hells yeah. I switched back to the Bastard (because durability) instead of the Zwei. I remember how big the Bastard was back then, now it looks like a toothpick.

Yeah, I feel that it's pretty much perfect actually. You get just the right amount of dark blacks, especially if you tweak in-game brightness just a little.

Awesome, thanks for the heads up! That'll be a lot easier than tweaking every single settings to try and see what they all do.
Before the influx of new players I updated the dual wielding table I did for the tips page in the other thread. Would you kindly edit in the newest version to the tips page?

The PC thread is almost finished, and I still haven't beaten DS2. =( So many spoiler tags left untouched.
Send me the link (PM) and I'll update it here and the console OT.

Yeah to be clear, you do have to be in true NG+ for the Dingy set. Which sucks hosewater because I always wore that top with my Black Leather Pants on my mage character in DS because it looks like a badass poncho.
Thanks very much Nito
.Have you pulled the leaver and lowered the platform yet?
Thanks very much Nito
Updated.

Man, I really want texture override while using ENB. I love the effects ENB has so when high res packs start coming out, I don't think I'll be able to go back to Sweetfx.
Shrine of Amana is still some annoying shit on my second playthrough.
I'm getting really tired of those psychic mages with tracking soul arrows and ridiculous aggro ranges!
Atleast I should know better than to accidentally fall into the deep water and die instantly this time.

What's up with the cracked blue eyed orbs?
I can't get a single hit when trying to invade.

Shrime of Amana will forever be my hate love place of DS2. I love its art design but I absolutely despise those mages with their bullshit homing soul arrows.

All good things must come to an end.
Hmm why is the hand sticking out like that? It's not real is it?As a small send off to the PC thread, we should admire something only the PC can do.
Fuckin BARREL ARMOR.
Armors not actually attainable in the game, probably because of those silly clipping issues.

Man, all of this character customization and you can't even redo it at will like with your stats.
Yeah, it would be great if the coffin let you redo character creation.
Like in dragon's dogma you could redo your character again if you'd like to after a certain point.
I went into the Skelly Lair without knowing what I was getting myself into. Turns out Drangleic Sword+1 was just what the doctor ordered. 4/5 hits per skelly lord, they were all dead before the final skeleton enemies had spawned. Used 1 Estus.
I'd pay full price for that game on PC. Capcpom, pls.
I'd rather a sequel best archery ever next to monster hunter.
Go the Trials Evo route, and just give PC the sequel with the original game bundled in.

imagine using mouse aiming with the bow and arrows
Imagine being able to fire rope arrows that trip up or pull down bigger enemies
Imagine chasing a giant flying beast bounty on horse back in multiplayer where one person steers and the other fires a rope arrow into the beast, then climbs up the rope while goblin mobs try knock them out the sky

yeah fuck this place. I'm there in NG now and they start attacking before I can even see them. And I'm basically using ranged because fuck this.
